Nobel prize for anti-poverty work
脫貧銀行家獲頒諾貝爾和平獎

The Nobel peace prize has been jointly awarded to Professor Muhammad Yunus from Bangladesh and the Grameen Bank he started. The prize was given for their work in lending very small amounts of money to poor people to set up businesses, especially women in the countryside.
穆罕默德‧優努斯教授與他所創辦的格蘭敏銀行，共同獲頒本屆諾貝爾和平獎，得獎的原因是，小額貸款給窮人，協助他們創業脫貧，特別是幫助了數以百萬計的鄉下窮困婦女。

……給窮人—特別是鄉下的窮困婦女，協助他們創業脫貧。
……給窮人〈特別是鄉下的窮困婦女〉，協助他們創業脫貧。

Lars Bevanger reports from Oslo:
This year's Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded in Oslo to the Bangladeshi banker Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank. Announcing the winner, the chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee said Muhammad Yunus had shown himself to be a leader who had managed to translate visions into practical action for the benefit of millions of people. Mr. Yunus is credited as the founder of the concept of 'micro credit', which is the extension of small loans to entrepreneurs too poor to qualify for traditional bank loans.
【記者拉斯‧畢文傑 / 奧斯陸報導】
今年諾貝爾頒獎典禮已在奧斯路揭曉，孟加拉的銀行家穆罕默德‧優努斯以及格蘭敏銀行獲頒和平獎。挪威諾貝爾基金會主席在宣布本年和平獎得主時說，穆罕默德‧優努斯展現了將願景化為事實的卓越領導能力，造福數以百萬計的人民，他所創建的微額信貸備受贊揚與肯定，提供小額資金給無法從一般銀行獲得貸款的窮人，幫助他們創業脫貧。

“the chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee said Muhammad Yunus had shown himself to be a leader who had managed to…”
1. “…had shown…”在此並無完成式之意味，而是在表達”過去中的過去”，如：
He said the girl had demonstrated her glamour to the judges in the beauty contest.
他說，這個女孩兒在選美賽中，向裁判展現了她的魅力。

The award came as a surprise to many here who had tipped someone involved in peace talks as winner this year. Mr Yunus himself told national Norwegian television he was delighted with the prize soon after the announcement was made. The winner is expected to receive the award and 1.4 million dollars in prize money during a ceremony here in December.
今年的和平獎使此間許多人跌破眼鏡，他們原以為，這個獎應頒給對國際和談有功的人士。優努斯教授本人或獲悉得獎後，旋即向挪威國家電視台表示，他對能獲獎感到十分高興。頒獎典禮將於今年十二月間在奧斯路舉行，得獎人將獲頒一百四十萬美元獎金。
