93-year-old runner lights Olympic cauldron

MEXICO CITY, Mexico (AP) -- Ninety-three-year-old Rosario Iglesias capped a rain-soaked relay through the streets of Mexico City on Tuesday, touching her torch to light an Olympic cauldron in the capital's main plaza.

Bands, dancing girls and floats spewing red and white confetti preceded runners along the sometimes disorderly 53-kilometer (32-mile) progression of the torch, part of a global, 26-nation celebration ahead of the Athens Olympics.

93岁的圣火传递员着点燃了火炬台

墨西哥市（美联社）93岁的罗莎里奥·伊格莱西亚斯周二浑身淋湿（？）地在墨西哥市的街道上（奔跑）传递（圣火）（？），（并）用她的火炬点亮了首都大广场的一个火炬台。（这句怎么翻译比较合适？）

走在传递员前面的乐队、欢舞的女孩以及彩车，沿着时时显得（有些）混乱的53公里长火炬传递（路线）（纷纷）撒下红白相间的彩纸。作为全球的一部分，已有26个国家在雅典奥运会（举行）前进行了庆典。

1.light 点亮，点着（奇怪的是，金山词霸的提示表明这个词仅为vi，难道是modernenglish的变迁，使之成为了vt?)

2.cauldron 大锅炉，此处译为火炬台,圣火坛

5.relay 传递

6.cap 此处不知如何解释？

House Republican leader Tom Delay 众议院多数党领袖汤姆-德雷

House=〉House of Representative 众议院

WHY:

I suppose it is a matter of preserving the sound of the letter "c" (/-k/) .Otherwise, the spelling would become "-icing" and it would have to be pronounced as /-s/.

WHEN:

以 -ic 结尾的动词，应先把 -ic 变为 -ick，再加 -ing

Yahoo e-mail battles Google's Gmail

SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- Internet giant Yahoo! Inc. is fortifying its free e-mail service with 25 times more storage and freeing up millions of previously claimed e-mail addresses in an effort to thwart a looming threat from its increasingly disruptive rival Google Inc.

Beginning Tuesday, all of Yahoo's free e-mail accounts will be upgraded to 100 megabytes, a move spurred by Google's plans to offer 1,000 megabytes of free storage through its Gmail service, which has remained in a test phase since early April.

yahoo电邮冲击google电邮

旧金山，加利弗利亚州（美联社）因特网巨子yahoo公司正在将它的邮件服务存储能力扩充25倍，同时解除了数百万早先申领过的电子邮件（账号），以此对抗日益破坏性的竞争对手google公司的威胁。

周二开始，所有yahoo的电子信箱都被升级到100m，这是受到了自4月份早些时候以来一直处于试验阶段的google打算通过它的邮件服务提供1000m免费存储的计划的刺激。

1.battle：与..斗争、竞争（至此，我不能不怀疑有些vi已经渐渐具有了vt的功能，阿，我们从小学习的语法阿...）

2.inc （Incorporated）股份有限公司，有时我们见到国内公司惯用co.,ltd，它表示的是有限公司，到底有什么区别呢？

3.fortify 增强

4.free up 解除（但不知道up在这里有什么作用？）

5. thwart 使中止

6. looming 迫近的

7.disruptive 破坏性的，中断的

8.rival 竞争对手

9.spur 刺激（意思上和stimulate激励是不太一样的）

tks very much for ur referrence.

else,how to express"众人拾材火焰高”,hehe?

I failed to find the whole piece but I guess the title means the TV series which is full of implications and open discussions of sex has reduced the number of such scenes in the latest episodes. Or more possibly, the TV channel has decided to cut some scenes. Just a wild guess.

BTW, next time you post the news, please provide the url to the complete version of the news. It should be no trouble to you, but it will save a lot of time for those who care to help you out.

Enjoy your stay here.

i believe it is a good idea.

And for inquiries of this kind, it would be much better if you PM her.

(PM: Private Message, 悄悄话 as on this forum)

PS:

1. 众人拾柴火焰高: Many hands make light work.

2. As helpful as disscussion is to your progress, it is still better for you to find out things for yourself instead of waiting for replies of others.
