The Obama administration is siding with US steel company in dispute over imports of steel reinforcing bar or rebar, products widely used to strengthen concrete structures. NPR's John Ydstie reports Commerce Department has decided the cheap rebar from Mexico and Turkey unfairly harm US producers.
奥巴马政府支持陷入钢筋进口争端的美国钢铁公司，钢筋是广泛用于加固混凝土结构的产品。据NPR新闻的约翰·伊斯蒂报道，商务部认为从墨西哥和土耳其进口廉价钢筋会使美国制造商受到不公平地伤害。
The decision by Commerce Department means steel rebar imported from Turkey and Mexico will be subject to immediate duties, the duty's range from 10% to 66% on rebar from Mexico and roughly 2% product imported from Turkey. Manufactures from those two countries denied they are violating trade laws but US steel producers say the two countries are unfairly undercutting US prices. For example, they say the Turkish government is subsidizing steel from that country. The issue prompted 31 members of congress both Democrats and Republicans to sign a letter to the Commerce Department calling for a full enforcement of US trade laws. A final ruling on the case will come this summer. John Ydstie, NPR News, Washington.
商务部的决定表明，从土耳其和墨西哥进口钢筋将会收取关税，从墨西哥进口钢筋的税率为10%至66%，而从土耳其进口钢筋产品的税率约为2%。这两个国家的制造商不认他们违反了贸易法，但是美国钢铁制造商表示，这两个国家用不公平地方式降低了美国的价格。举个例子来说，他们称土耳其政府为该国的钢铁产品提供补贴。这个问题促使国会中31名民主党和共和党成员联手向商务部提交一份签名信，要求他们完全执行美国贸易法。这起争端的最终裁定将于今年夏天公布。NPR新闻，约翰·伊斯蒂华盛顿报道。

Saudi Arabia is reporting a jump in cases of MERS, a potentially fatal respiratory illness that recently emerge in the Middle East. NPR's Jason Beaubien reports Saudi officials have announced roughly 50 new cases of the disease in the last week.
沙特阿拉伯的中东呼吸综合征病例大幅增加，这是中东地区近日出现的一种致命呼吸道疾病。据NPR新闻的杰森·比尤比恩报道，沙特官员宣布，上周新增的病例将近50例。
The MERS was first detected in Saudi Arabia two years ago, and country has only reported 244 cases since then so a spike of nearly four dozens of cases in a week is significant. Health officials are concerned because the disease appears to be similar to the SARS virus that killed hundreds of people in Asia in late 2002 and 2003. There is no cure or vaccine for MERS and it tends to kill about a third of people who come down with it. Late last week, health official in United Arab Emirates said four healthcare workers have been infected with MERS and now Malaysia and Greece are both reporting their first MERS cases among men who recently travel to Saudi Arabia. Jason Beaubien, NPR News, Washington.
中东呼吸综合征于两年前最早在沙特阿拉国发现，自那天起沙特一共只报告了244起病例，但是一周内增加了40个新病例，这说明非常严重。卫生官员非常担心，因为这种疾病似乎与非典病毒类似，2012年末至2013年爆发的非典造成数百名亚洲民众死亡。中东呼吸综合征没有治疗方法也没有疫苗，目前感染这种疾病的人中已经有三分之一死亡。上周末，阿拉伯联合酋长国卫生官员表示有四名医护人员感染了中东呼吸综合征，现在马来西亚和希腊也报告了首例中东呼吸综合征病例，感染者近期曾去过沙特阿拉伯。NPR新闻，杰森·比尤比恩华盛顿报道。
