Brazil, India, Germany and Japan are negotiating with African nations in an effort to win permanent seats on the U.N. Security Council. Backers of a council expansion proposal are hoping for an early vote in the General Assembly.
巴西、印度、德国和日本正在和非洲国家商谈，争取成为联合国安理会常任理事国。支持扩大安理会的国家希望联合国大会及早表决。
Under the G-four proposal, six of the new seats would be permanent, two of them reserved for African countries. The AU has countered with its own draft that would result in slightly more influence for Africa.
根据四国建议，新增加的席位中有6个是常任理事国席位，其中两个给非洲国家。非洲联盟提出了自己的草案与之抗争。他们的草案为非洲带来的影响力会略大一些。
Two days of debate on the G-four proposal in the General Assembly this week revealed significant opposition. Two of the five current permanent Council members, China and the United States, warned against moving too fast on expansion. A third, Russia, suggested the G-four proposal was "unacceptable."
联大这个星期就四国提案展开过两天辩论，显示阻力很大。5个现任常任理事国中有两个，也就是中国和美国警告不要仓促扩大安理会。俄罗斯则表示四国提案“不可接受”。

但是万一四国提案通不过，还有一个与之竞争的提案目前正在成员国中传阅。由巴基斯坦、意大利、墨西哥和韩国主导的四国提案的反对国已经提出一份草案，要增设10个安理会席位，但是都不是常任理事国席位。
Diplomats say the G-four proposal could come to a vote as early as next week.

布什总统改革计划的主要内容是，让较年轻的职工把他们所交的部分社安税投放在私人退休帐户中，这个私人退休帐户可以在股票市场上投资。
Democrats have enlisted a wide range of special interest groups to lobby against the proposal, including labor unions and retiree organizations.

Topping the president's domestic agenda are tax reform and overhauling Social Security, the massive government program that uses special tax revenue to provide pensions for the elderly. Tough fights with Congress are expected, and there are signs the president wants a strong group of top advisors that is well respected on Capitol Hill and capable of selling his proposals to lawmakers.
布什总统国内政策的当务之急是税收改革和重组社会安全保障体系，也就是利用特别税收为老年人提供养老金保障。和国会的激烈冲突是在所难免的。 已经有种种迹象表明，布什总统希望有一个既受国会尊重、又有能力让立法者们接受其建议的高级顾问小组。
