联合国安理会最早将在周一发表一份统一声明,对北朝鲜在周日发射导弹一事提出谴责.

这不是语法错误,这个词组在新闻英语中很常见,常指将要做已经定好了的事情.

请教各位版主，
CNN 2010-01-25的内容
1.There certainly will be some Wednesday morning quarterbacking.  这里的Wednesday morning quarterbacking是习惯用语吗，含义又是什么呢？
2.SCOTT BROWN (R), MASSACHUSETTS SENATOR-ELECT: We have the machine scared and scrambling...
这句话里的machine怎么解释呢？brown赢得了选举，难道是指民主党吗？

秋天a有点冷

昨天的word-lover有个句子：When the time comes, a lot of folks who vote people into baseball's Valhalla will make character a major qualification."
怎么理解啊？多谢各路高手指点！！

Ballots are being tallied in Sri Lanka’s first peace-time presidential vote in decades. Voters including Tamils displaced by the country’s civil war cast ballots today after a campaign marred by violence.

几十年来在斯里兰卡举行的首届和平总统选举开始投票了。今天选民中包括泰米尔人，他们因为内战而背井离乡。虽然投票前的选举活动遭受暴力活动的破坏，但是选举活动正常进行。自己翻得，希望没有误导。

谢谢，恍然大悟了，原来displace还有背井离乡的意思！ 1959# dadaji_sh

A bright red smile, starting along the North Carolina shore running down through Florida across the southern tip of Texas and swinging up to California coast, shows temperatures in the 70s or above.

A bright red smile是指什么啊??指天晴??

求求哪位高人把SSS－1－28 的这一段 翻一下啊。。。。给饶糊涂了。

And they found that 65% of those who are autonomous and tend to be dismissive about commitment reported greater stress about sexual cheating than emotional cheating. And 77% of those who are more securely attached and committed in relationships found emotional betrayal to be worse than sexual duplicity.  Even within each sex the results were striking. Dismissive women were four times more likely to report greater sexual jealousy than securely committed women. And dismissive men were 50 times more likely to report sexual jealousy than securely committed men.

这是20100203NPR的头条新闻。试译如下：

President Obama is in New Hampshire to push his economic agenda. Speaking in Nashua last hour, he unveiled his plan to create jobs. "And we're gonna start where most new jobs start - with small businesses. These are companies that begin in basements and garages when an entrepreneur takes a chance on his dream, or a worker decides it's time she becomes her own boss."  The president plans to transfer some of the money returned from the bank bailout to small and community banks to encourage them to lend to small businesses. He also proposed eliminating capital gains taxes on small business investment.

奥巴马总统正在新罕布什尔州推动他的经济计划。在过去这一小时在纳舒厄的演讲中，他公布了创造就业岗位的计划。“我们要从小企业入手，小企业创造了大多数新增就业岗位。小企业是从地下室和车库起家的，是企业家实现梦想的地方，是员工决定自己当老板的地方。”总统计划将部分大银行归还的救助资金转给小银行和社区银行以鼓励其向小企业放贷。他还提议降低小企业投资的资本利得税。

中间奥巴马关于小企业的那段话有点吃不准。记得他在刚刚发表的国情咨文中也说过类似的话。请大家帮助修改一下。先谢谢啦！

On Monday February 1st Barack Obama made a start for America, unveiling his budget for 2011 which proposes cutting or consolidated 120 programmes, with savings expected to total $20 billion.
-----------------------------------------------
consolidated 的用法好怪，我觉得此处应和cutting是一样的成分，所以应该是consolidating
谢谢答疑
