(SOUNDBITE)(English) AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER TONY ABBOTT SAYING: "That's the intelligence we received. The exhortations,quite direct exhortations were coming from an Australian who is apparently quite senior in ISIL to networks of support back in Australia to conduct demonstration killings here in this country, so this is not just suspicion, this is intent and that's why the police and security agencies decided to act in the way they have."
澳大利亚总理艾伯特：“这是我们收到的情报。那些劝告，非常直接的劝告就来自一名澳大利亚人，他很明显是ISIL一名资深人员，负责澳大利亚的支持网络，进行示范性的杀戮。所以这并不仅仅是怀疑，而是有意图的，这也是警察和安全机构以今天的方式采取行动的原因。”

Thai PM makes insensitive comment about tourist murders
游客遇难 泰国总理发表评论
Grieving family members of a slain British tourist met with officials in Thailand Thursday. Relatives of 23 year old Hannah Witheridge- one of two British tourists found dead on a Thai beach Monday- met with Thai police and British embassy officials to discuss the ongoing investigation. Witheridge's mutilated body, along with that of 24 year old David Miller, were found on the resort island of Koh Tao. Police are investigating locals and foreigners as possible suspects. The incident is threatening the country's already shaky tourism industry. The number of visitors is down 10 percent from last year after the army staged a coup in May. And recent comments about the murders from general turned Prime Minister Pruyuth Chan-ocha aren't helping.
周四，泰国官员接见了一名遇难的英国游客悲痛的家人。23岁的Hannah Witheridge——周一在泰国沙滩发现的两名遇难英国游客中的一人——她的亲人得到了泰国警方和英国大使馆官员的接见，讨论仍在进行的调查问题。Witheridge和24岁的David Miller残缺的尸体在Koh Tao度假小岛被发现。警方正在调查有嫌疑的当地人和外国人。该事故对泰国原本已经岌岌可危的旅游业造成了威胁。五月份的军事政变后，泰国的游客人数比去年减少了10%。最近由将军成为总理的巴育对该谋杀事件的评论并未提供任何帮助。
(SOUNDBITE)(Thai) PRIME MINISTER PRAYUTH CHAN-OCHA SAYING: "We have to understand them (tourists). They think Thailand is beautiful and safe. They can do whatever they want, wear bikinis everywhere. But I want to ask if they think they'll be safe wearing bikinis in Thailand-- unless they are unattractive."
泰国总理巴育：“我们必须理解游客们。他们认为泰国是美丽和安全的。他们可以随心所欲，可以穿着比基尼在任何地方徜徉。但是我想要问一下，他们是否认为在泰国穿比基尼是安全的——除非他们不吸引人。”
The Thai tourism industry accounts for 10 percent of the country's economy.
泰国的旅游业占据全国经济总量的10%。
