The US Secretary of State John Kerry has warned US senators before their debate on Syria next week that they must not fail to respond to what he called an undeniable chemical attack by President Assad on his own people. He said standing aside would give the green light to other dictators. But Mr. Kerry said he wanted to make it clear that President Obama's objectives were limited.
美国参议员将在下周将针对叙利亚问题展开辩论,美国国务卿约翰•克里在此之前警告称,面对总统阿萨德向自己的人民发动的不可否认的化学武器袭击,我们不能不做出回应。他说,袖手旁观将会向其他独裁者开绿灯。但是克里先生称,他希望明确一点,奥巴马总统的目标是有限的。

He is asking only for the power to make clear, to make certain that the United States means what we say, that the world, when we join together in a multilateral statement, mean what we say. He's asking for authorization to degrade and deter Bashar al-Assad's capacity to use chemical weapons.
他只是想有能力表明,美国能够说到做到,全世界发表多国联合声明的时候,我们能够说到做到。他只是希望获得授权,降低和阻止阿萨德总统使用化学武器的能力。

While the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon stop short of using the word illegal to describe any possible military action by America against Syria. He said the use of force would only be lawful in self-defense or it backed by the Security Council. If confirmed the use of chemical weapons would mark a serious violation of international law, he said but a military response could unleash more turmoil.
虽然联合国秘书长潘基文停止使用“非法”这个词来形容美国可能对叙利亚采取的任何可能的军事行动。他表示,只有出于自卫或者在安理会支持的情况下,使用武力才是合法的。如果确认叙利亚使用化学武器的行为将严重违反国际法,但是使用武力将引起更多骚动。

“I take no to the argument for action to prevent a future uses of chemical weapons. At the same time, we must consider the impact of any punitive measure on efforts to prevent further bloodshed.”
“关于采取行动防止化学武器在将来继续被使用,我没有异议。同时,我们必须考虑任何惩罚性措施可能造成的影响,以防进一步的流血事件。”
