cnn英語聽力2012年05月合輯（文本+翻譯）：20120514good stuff. on our blog, some of you have been discussing what makes your favorite teacher so good. were celebrating teacher appreciation week with some of those comments in about seven minutes. im carl azuz. youre watching cnn student news.yesterday we reported on an alleged terror plot that officials said had been foiled. we said there were still a lot of questions. now we have some of the answers. the plot was designed to blow up a plane headed to the united states.what we now know is that the person picked to carry out that attack is actually the person who prevented it.authorities said the plot started in yemen with the terrorist group known as al qaeda in the arabian peninsula.initial reports said the plan was thwarted based on a tip from saudi arabia, one of yemens neighbors.turns out saudi arabia had a mole, a sort of spy inside the al qaeda group. hes a saudi intelligence agent. he volunteered for a suicide mission. then he took the explosive device that would have been on the plane and turned it over to u.s. intelligence officers and told them about the plot.now theres some concern about the fact that all this information was leaked. one source said saudi officials are upset about the possible risks that this could mean for other undercover agents working inside the al qaeda group.some u.s. officials are worried that the leak could interfere with other operations. the u.s. director of national intelligence is launching a review to see if the leak came from an american intelligence agency.all right. turning to u.s. politics now, we know who the presumptive presidential nominees are for both the republican and democratic parties, but primary season continues.former massachusetts governor mitt romney won the republican primaries in north carolina, indiana and westvirginia on tuesday. not a major surprise. he is the presumptive nominee. but its not all about the white house in these primaries. voters also cast ballots for state and local elections this work. in north carolina, that included a vote on a constitutional amendment.we talked about this earlier in the week. the amendment would change the north carolina constitution to say,quote, marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in north carolina.the unofficial results from tuesdays primary showed that around 61 percent voted for the amendments. around 39 percent voted against. one critic called the amendment discrimination. she said, quote, it gives the majority the chance to vote against the minority.but a supporter of the amendment responded, quote, we are not anti- gay. we are pro-marriage.a recent gallup survey shows the country overall is more closely divided on the issue. according to that poll,about 50 percent of americans believe same-sex couples should be allowed to marry. around 48 percent say same-sex marriages should not be legal.的確非常不錯(cuò)。在我們的博客上,你們有一些人一直在討論什么使你最喜歡的老師這么好。我們會(huì)專門用7分鐘內(nèi)用這些評(píng)論慶祝老師感恩周。我是卡爾阿祖茲。你正在收看的是cnn學(xué)生新聞。昨天我們報(bào)道了一起官員稱已經(jīng)被阻止的所謂恐怖陰謀。而我們表示仍然有很多問題?，F(xiàn)在我們有一些問題的答案。該陰謀被設(shè)計(jì)用來炸毀前往美國(guó)的飛機(jī)。我們現(xiàn)在所知道的是,選擇來完成這次攻擊的人實(shí)際上就是阻止它的人。當(dāng)局稱情節(jié)是在也門開始，那里有在阿拉伯半島被稱為基地組織的恐怖組織。最初的報(bào)道稱這個(gè)計(jì)劃受到來自也門的鄰國(guó)之一沙特阿拉伯的一點(diǎn)挫敗。結(jié)果沙特阿拉伯有了長(zhǎng)期潛伏的間諜,這是對(duì)于內(nèi)部基地組織的監(jiān)視者。他是一名沙特情報(bào)特工。他自愿參加一項(xiàng)自殺任務(wù)。然后他把將會(huì)是在飛機(jī)上的爆炸裝置轉(zhuǎn)交給美國(guó)情報(bào)官員并且告訴他們關(guān)于這陰謀的始末?，F(xiàn)在所有這些信息被泄露是有一些令人擔(dān)心的事實(shí)。一位消息人士稱沙特官員們對(duì)可能的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)感到不安,這可能意味著在基地組織內(nèi)部工作的其他秘密特工被發(fā)現(xiàn)。一些美國(guó)官員擔(dān)心泄漏可能干擾其他行動(dòng)。美國(guó)國(guó)家情報(bào)總局準(zhǔn)備進(jìn)行一次回顧,來看看泄密是否來自美國(guó)情報(bào)機(jī)構(gòu)。好吧?，F(xiàn)在轉(zhuǎn)向美國(guó)政治,我們知道預(yù)計(jì)能得到總統(tǒng)候選人提名的肯定是共和黨或者民主黨,但是初選仍在繼續(xù)。前馬薩諸塞州州長(zhǎng)米特羅姆尼周二在北卡羅萊納、印第安納州和西弗吉尼亞州贏得共和黨初選。這不是什么令人非常震驚的事情。因?yàn)樗翘崦蜻x人。但在這些初選他不都是針對(duì)白宮。選民也投票給州和地方選舉的工作。在北卡羅萊納就進(jìn)行了憲法修正案的表決。我們?cè)诒局茉缧r(shí)候曾談到過這個(gè)問題。該修正案將改變北卡羅萊納的憲法,我們?cè)谶@里引用道,“一個(gè)男人和一個(gè)女人之間的婚姻是唯一的國(guó)內(nèi)法律, 在北卡羅萊納仍然有效期或被認(rèn)可?！狈枪俜浇Y(jié)果顯示,在星期二的初選中61%
