（单词翻译）

Tensions mounted in Singapore as members of the International Monetary1 Fund and the World Bank gathered for their annual meeting. Representatives of about 500 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) were given credentials2 to attend, but the Singapore government banned at least 27 of their representatives from entering the country. After more than 80 NGOs, including Greenpeace and Oxfam, announced plans to boycott3 the official meetings in protest, as well as a protest by World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz, Singapore officials agreed to let 22 of the 27 attend. An important agenda item of the meeting will be the revision of IMF and World Bank policies to tie aid to developing countries to reduced corruption4 in those countries.
