BBC在线收听下载:特朗普圣诞后突访驻伊美军

Hello, I'm Neil Nunes with the BBC News.
President Trump has used a surprise Christmas visit to US troops in Iraq to defend his decision to pull American forces out of Syria. Mr. Trump said the withdrawal would be gradual.
特朗普在圣诞期间意外现身伊拉克访问驻地美军，以此捍卫他从叙利亚撤军的决定。特朗普表示撤军将会循序渐进地进行。

There will be a strong, deliberate and orderly withdrawal of US forces from Syria, very deliberate, very orderly, while maintaining the US presence in Iraq to prevent an ISIS resurgence and to protect US interests, and also to always watch very closely over any potential reformation of ISIS and also to watch over Iran. During his visit to an airbase west of Baghdad, President Trump spoke to the Iraqi Prime Minister over the telephone and invited him to Washington.

从叙利亚撤军将会是一次大规模的、经过深思熟虑的并且是有条不紊的行动。该行动将非常谨慎有序地进行，同时也会保留美国在伊拉克的力量以防止ISIS死灰复燃并保护美国的权益，还将一直密切关注ISIS任何可能的复苏迹象并监督伊朗。在特朗普访问巴格达空军基地期间，特朗普总统与伊拉克总理通话并邀请他访问华盛顿。

Shares in Tokyo have closed nearly four percent higher following earlier gains in New York. US shares bounced back after steep falls before Christmas. Kim Gittleson reports.

After suffering their worst weekly performance in a decade, US shares made a roaring recovery, which once more had a knock-on effect on markets around the world. Investors seemed to shake off their pre-holiday jitters after positive US retail sales data soothe concerns about a slowdown in US economic activity. That push shares in companies like Amazon higher even amid thin trading volumes during the post Christmas week. The question of course, is whether this is a one-off rally or something that will be sustained into the New Year. The Dow-Jones Industrial Average would need to rise over eighteen hundred points over the next two days in order to end 2018 in the black.
在度过了十年中最糟糕的一周后，美股现在实现了大幅回升，又一次对全世界股市产生了影响。美国零售数据回升，缓解了人们对于美国经济活动放缓的担忧，也让投资者在圣诞节前松了一口气，这也促使亚马逊等公司股价走高，尽管圣诞节后一周交易量不高。当然问题是，此次股市回升是暂时性的，还是会延续至新的一年。在未来两天内，道琼斯工业指数增长需要超过1800点才能在2018年年底实现盈利。
