We'll endeavor to put information in a broader context

我们将竭力对播报的信息给予全面的背景
because we know that very little news is born

因为当一则新闻刚诞生时
at the moment it comes across our wire.

所包含的信息量极少

杜绝含沙射影空穴来风的报道
We're not waiters in a restaurant

我们不是餐厅的服务员
serving you the stories you asked for just the way you like them prepared.

不会依照你的口味来调整新闻
Nor are we computers dispensing only the facts

我们也不做只会陈述事实的机器
because news is only useful in the context of humanity.

因为新闻只有沾染了人性才有意义
I'll make no effort to subdue my personal opinions.

我将丝毫不隐藏我的个人观点
I will make every effort to expose you

我也会全力向你呈现
