日捕鲸船与新西兰护海船相撞问题: Australia and New Zealand are to launch separate investigations into yesterday's collision between a Japanese whaling ship and a speedboat belonging to the marine conservation group Sea Shepherd. The Australian government stopped short of(停止, 不再) sending a patrol ship to Antarctic waters a day after anti-whaling activists claimed their hi-tech boat, the Ady Gil, had been deliberately rammed(ram vt. 1.夯实 2. 猛撞 n. 夯) by the Japanese patrol boat, the Shonan Maru No 2. The incident, in which one activist suffered cracked ribs肋骨裂缝, marked a dramatic escalation in hostilities between whalers and campaigners. "We now have a real whale war on our hands and we have no intention of retreating绝不会退却," he said.
Australia's deputy prime minister, Julia Gillard, called for calm on both sides:"It concerns me deeply. It's clear that emotions are running high(情绪高涨) and that lives are at risk," she told reporters. "It seems miraculous to me, having seen the video, that lives were not lost. We are strenuously(不遗余力的) opposed to whaling and strenuously opposed to violence at sea." Both sides have offered conflicting accounts of their brief, but violent, encounter late yesterday afternoon in Commonwealth Bay. Sea Shepherd said its boat had been at a standstill on impact, while the hunt's organizers in Tokyo claimed the Ady Gil had veered into the Shonan Maru's path in an attempt to cut it off. Foreign ministry spokesman Yasuhisa Kawamura said Sea Shepherd had committed an act of sabotage that had jeopardized the safety of the Japanese crew. The Australian prime minister, Kevin Rudd, has threatened to take legal action to stop the whale hunts, but environmental campaigners accused Rudd of quietly reneging(违约食言) on threats to take Japan to the International Court of Justice amid concerns that it could damage expanding trade and security ties between Tokyo and Canberra. "If ultimately, the matter about whaling cannot be resolved diplomatically, then we reserve our rights to initiate international legal action." Bob Brown, the leader of Australia's Greens, called on the government to replace the US$1.8m Ady Gil and send the bill to Tokyo. "This is a crass(彻底的, 全然的, 粗鲁的) act of violence by the Japanese whaling fleet backed up by the Japanese government," he said.

"The business was turning around好转 even before Mr Nam left." He said he did not think the alliance between Qantas' budget airline廉价航空公司 Jetstar and Malaysia's Air Asia had any impact on the Vietnamese investigation.

"And as far as I was concerned, that was all above board(be above board光明正大的, 摆的到桌面上的 to be honest and legal The deal was completely above board. )."
