Among the 17 executive actions U.S. President Joe Biden signed during his first hours in office Wednesday, two will strengthen cooperation with the United Nations on boosting global health and combating climate change. 

当地时间1月20日，美国总统拜登上任后第一时间就签署了17项行政指令，其中有两项将加强与联合国在促进全球健康和应对气候变化方面的合作。

Making good on campaign promises, Biden halted the U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization and rejoined the 2015 Paris Climate Accord. 

拜登决定，美国将不退出世卫组织，并重新加入2015年巴黎气候协定，兑现了竞选诺言。

In mid-April last year, as the coronavirus pandemic was spreading across the globe, then-president Donald Trump cut off U.S. funding to the WHO. He then went further, triggering the process to pull the U.S. completely out of the organization. The withdrawal was due to go into effect in July, but Biden's order will cancel it.

去年4月中旬，随着新冠肺炎疫情在全球蔓延，时任美国总统特朗普切断了美国对世卫组织的资助，随后又触发了美国完全退出世卫组织的程序。退出计划原定于7月生效，但拜登下令取消这一计划。

Twenty-two miners have been trapped for 11 days some 600 meters underground after two blasts ripping through the mine in Qixia City, east China's Shandong Province on January 10.

1月10日，中国山东省栖霞市的矿井发生两起爆炸，22名矿工在地下约600米处被困11天。

One miner was confirmed dead on Wednesday. The miner was in a coma after sustaining a severe head injury from the blasts.

1月20日，一名矿工确认死亡。该名矿工在爆炸中头部严重受伤，处于昏迷状态。

The Qixia government said on Thursday that rescuers had started drilling a new channel with a 711-mm diameter that they hope will bring the trapped miners back to safety.

1月21日，栖霞市政府表示，救援人员已经开始钻探一条直径711毫米的新通道，希望能将被困矿工安全救出。

Hundreds of rescuers are racing against time to save the lives of the trapped miners and working round-the-clock. However, they face extreme challenges posed by underground granite and the threat of water flooding the shaft where the miners are.

数百名救援人员正在与时间赛跑，拯救被困矿工的生命，24小时不间断地工作。然而，他们面临着地下花岗岩带来的极端挑战，以及水淹没矿工所在井道的威胁。

One of the rescue teams managed to deliver food and medicine supplies to the trapped miners through a new borehole drilled on Wednesday, substituting the original one due to water leakage which threatened the miners' life.

由于漏水威胁到矿工的生命，一组救援人员成功通过1月20日钻出的新井眼向被困矿工送去了食物和药品供应。

Twin suicide bombings ripped through a busy market in the Iraqi capital Baghdad Thursday, killing at least 32 people and wounding 110 others.

1月21日，伊拉克首都巴格达一个繁忙的市场遭到两起自杀炸弹袭击，造成至少32人死亡，110人受伤。

Suicide bombings have been rare in Baghdad for months, as the security situation has improved in Iraq since the Iraqi security forces fully defeated IS militants across the country late in 2017.

自2017年底伊拉克安全部队在全国范围内全面击败伊斯兰国武装分子以来，伊拉克的安全局势有所改善，巴格达的自杀式爆炸事件数月来已经很少发生。

However, sporadic deadly incidents still occur in the war-ravaged country as IS remnants have since melted into urban areas or deserts and rugged areas, carrying out frequent guerilla attacks against security forces and civilians.

不过，由于伊斯兰国的残余分子已经融入城市、沙漠和崎岖地区，且频繁对安全部队和平民发动游击袭击，在这个饱受战火摧残的国家，仍有零星死亡事件发生。
