第383期：主餐一道：泛听练习
以下段落是摘自新闻里的一些重要信息,并不是一个段落的听写。空内信息可在本新闻中全部找到,大家可以根据这些信息复述新闻。
一、泛听建议：
1、完整听一遍，掌握大意。
2、继续听，特别注意关键信息。遇到相似的词，写下来。
President Obama _1_ he has authorized targeted air strikes in Iraq and said US planes _2_ delivery of humanitarian aid to a wreckage trapped by Islamic militants.The President entered an address from the White House State Dining Room tonight, saying that as the situation continues to go increasingly dire for Iraqis, including a group of Kurds trapped on a mountain there, the administration needed to intervene to combat what he called a potential active genocide.
奥巴马总统确认，他授权对伊拉克进行空袭，同时美国飞机会对被伊斯兰武装分子围困的地区空投人道主义救援物资。总统今晚在白宫国宴厅发表了讲话，他表示伊拉克局势造成更多的伊拉克人民死亡，其中包括被围困在山区的库尔德人。美国政府需要介入以防止潜在的种族灭绝行为。
"When we face a situation like we do on that mountain–with innocent people _3_ the prospect of violence on a horrific scale, when we have a mandate to help-in this case, a request from the Iraqi government–and when we have the unique capabilities to help avert a massacre, then I believe the United States of America cannot turn a blind eye."
“当我们看到如同这座大山那样的情况——无辜平民受到异常残忍的暴力威胁，当我们需要执行援助的使命——在伊拉克政府提出请求的情况下——当我们具有独一无二的能力为阻止一场大屠杀发挥作用时，我认为美利坚合众国不能对此熟视无睹。”
President said he will not allow US troops to _4_ back into fighting another war in Iraq. He said he _5_ the decision won't be taken more seriously than the use of any military decision.
总统表示，他不允许美国被拖入在伊拉克的另一场战争。他表示他希望没有任何决定比动用武力更加审慎。
