接下来,是一篇反映美国政府观点的社论。
At a briefing to reporters at the State Department, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the Trump administration continues to evaluate the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the nuclear deal with Iran known as the JCPOA:
在美国国务院召开的记者招待会上,国务卿雷克斯·蒂勒森谈到,特朗普政府将继续评估“联合全面行动计划”,即《关于伊朗核计划的全面协议》:
“In particular we’re working with the other parties to that agreement, our European allies in particular,to ensure that we are fully enforcing all aspects of that agreement, holding Iran accountable for its commitments, and challenging whether Iran is, in fact, living up to its commitments and the spirit of that agreement.”
“值得一提的是,我们正在与该协议的其他各方,特别是欧洲盟国合作,以确保全面执行该协议的所有条款,确保伊朗对其承诺负责,并挑战伊朗是否确实在履行其承诺,遵守协议精神。”
Iran is continuing to engage in destabilizing behavior in the region, however,and Secretary Tillerson emphasized that the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran is just one of many threats posed by the Islamic Republic:
然而,伊朗正在继续破坏该地区的稳定,国务卿蒂勒森强调说,伊朗的核武器威胁只是伊斯兰共和国构成的许多威胁之一:
"Whether it be their ongoing ballistic missile programs, their export of terrorism, their export of instability in Yemen, their export of foreign fighters into Iraq and Syria.”
“无论是他们正在进行的弹道导弹计划、恐怖主义扩张、也门不稳定局势的影响,还是进入伊拉克和叙利亚的外国战机,都是对和平的威胁。”
Secretary of State Tillerson said Iran’s leaders “are persistent in their efforts to exert their influence across the Middle East,and it is our intent, working with our allies in the region to push back on Iran’s expansionist efforts to destabilize areas.”
国务卿蒂勒森说,伊朗领导人“一直致力于在中东发挥影响力,而这也是我们希望看到的,我们会与该地区的盟国合作,摧毁伊朗扩张主义蓄意破坏地区稳定的阴谋。”
Such push back, Secretary Tillerson said, “is consistent with our efforts to stop Islamic extremism in all its forms.”In support of that goal, the United States will continue its “proactive approach to preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons, and from fomenting terrorism and building influence outside of its borders.”
国务卿蒂勒森表示:“这种做法与我们消除一切形式的伊斯兰极端主义的努力是一致的。”为了支持这一目标,美国将继续“采取积极的态度,防止伊朗发展核武器、煽动恐怖主义以及在其边界之外建立影响力”。
