Egyptian Banks Reopen After Strikes, Unrest

（单词翻译）

    Egyptian（埃及） banks have reopened after being shut for most of last week, as Egypt struggles to revive an economy damaged by labor¹ protests and an uprising the toppled its president earlier this month.
    The banks opened for business as usual Sunday, the first day of Egypt's working week, following a series of government-ordered closures and shortened sessions in the weeks since the uprising began in late January.
    Egypt's stock market remains² closed after suffering heavy losses at the start of the turmoil³. It is expected to reopen later this week, barring another bank closure or other developments.
    Egypt's military rulers said Friday they will not tolerate any further labor protests, after the uprising inspired Egyptian workers to go on strike in multiple industries to protest poor wages and other grievances⁴.
    In a gesture to the opposition⁵, a court in the military-run country granted official recognition Saturday to a small Islamist(伊斯兰教徒) party that had been outlawed⁶ for 15 years by the government of ousted⁷ President Hosni Mubarak. The Wasat, or Center Party, was founded in 1996 by activists⁸ who split from Egypt's main Islamist movement, the Muslim Brotherhood⁹.
    The Center Party previously¹⁰ applied¹¹ four times for an official license¹², but those bids were rejected by members of Mubarak's former ruling party.(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
