“Today because America negotiated from a position ofstrength and principle we have stopped the spread ofnuclear weapons in this region. Because of this deal, the international community will be able to verify that the Islamic Republic ofIran will not develop a nuclear weapon.”
今天，由于美國(guó)站在力量和原則的立場(chǎng)才使得核武器停止在這片大地上擴(kuò)散。正是因?yàn)檫@項(xiàng)協(xié)定，國(guó)際社會(huì)才能保證伊朗共和國(guó)以后不再研發(fā)核武器。
He spoke after the deal was announced Tuesday in Vienna. Negotiators spentweeks finalizing details of the agreement.
奧巴馬是周二在維也納宣告協(xié)定之前發(fā)表的言論。協(xié)商國(guó)之間用了幾周的時(shí)間達(dá)成的此次協(xié)議。
Reaction in Vienna
維也納回應(yīng)
European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini spoke to reporters inVienna. She described the agreement as complex, detailed and technical. But she said it also was a “sign of hope” for the world.
歐盟外交部長(zhǎng)Federica Mogherini在維也納向記者表示，這項(xiàng)協(xié)議是復(fù)雜的，具體的，技術(shù)性的，是世界希望的標(biāo)志。
“We know that this agreement will be subject to intense scrutiny. But what we are announcing today is not only as deal, it is a good deal. And a good deal forall sides and the wider international community. This agreement opens newpossibilities and a way forward to end a crisis that has lasted for more than 10years.”
我們清楚這項(xiàng)協(xié)議會(huì)受到嚴(yán)密的監(jiān)視。但是我們今天宣讀的這項(xiàng)協(xié)議并不僅僅是一個(gè)協(xié)議，更是一項(xiàng)好的協(xié)議，一項(xiàng)有利于各方和廣泛地國(guó)際社會(huì)的協(xié)議。它為這十多年來(lái)的核危機(jī)的終止開(kāi)辟了新的可能，打開(kāi)了新的道路。
After her comments, Iranian foreign minister Javad Zarif spoke to the samereporters in Persian. He said he was repeating what the EU official had justsaid in English.
在她評(píng)論過(guò)后，伊朗外交部長(zhǎng)賈維德用波斯語(yǔ)對(duì)剛才的記者重復(fù)了一遍歐盟外交官員的話。
Mr. Zarif called the deal a "win-win" for both Iran and the group known as P5+1. They are Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States andGermany.
賈維德稱這次協(xié)議對(duì)伊朗和P5+1國(guó)家組織來(lái)說(shuō)是個(gè)雙贏政策。P5+1國(guó)家分別指的是英國(guó)、中國(guó)、法國(guó)、俄羅斯、美國(guó)和德國(guó)。
The deal
協(xié)議
The deal will limit Iran's possible development of nuclear weapons whileenabling the country to keep its civil nuclear program. U.S. officials say this will be done, in part, by reducing the number of Iran’s modern centrifuges.These machines use centrifugal force to separate substances or parts ofsubstances.
這項(xiàng)協(xié)議限制伊朗研發(fā)核武器，允許其保留民用核工程。美國(guó)官員稱一旦實(shí)施這項(xiàng)協(xié)議，會(huì)部分減少伊朗現(xiàn)代離心力。這些機(jī)器利用離心力來(lái)分離物質(zhì)或物質(zhì)部件。
A main issue throughout the talks was international inspections of Iran’snuclear areas. This was solved with the creation of a process that lets UnitedNations inspectors push for entry, but gives Iran the right to not immediatelyagree. Instead, Iran will have the right to dispute the UN request throughnegotiations.
整個(gè)會(huì)談的核心問(wèn)題是對(duì)伊朗核區(qū)域的國(guó)際監(jiān)控，包括聯(lián)合國(guó)介入監(jiān)視此區(qū)域，允許伊朗考慮時(shí)間。相反，伊朗在協(xié)商中有權(quán)利辯論聯(lián)合國(guó)的要求。
The deal continues an international ban on conventional arm sales to Iran forfive more years, and a missile ban for eight years. But the bans could endearlier if the UN’s nuclear agency finds Iran has undone any current worktoward nuclear weapons. The Iranian government has repeatedly denied suchwork.
該項(xiàng)協(xié)議作為一項(xiàng)國(guó)際禁令，不得在五年多的時(shí)間里向伊朗出售常規(guī)武器，在八年內(nèi)不得向其出售導(dǎo)彈。但是如果聯(lián)合國(guó)核武器辦公室發(fā)現(xiàn)伊朗并沒(méi)有進(jìn)行任何關(guān)于核武器的活動(dòng)，這項(xiàng)禁令就能提前解除。伊朗政府再次聲明不會(huì)進(jìn)行研發(fā)核武器這類的活動(dòng)。
In exchange, the P5+1 countries agreed to lift economic sanctions on Iran assoon as it honors the requirements of the nuclear deal.
作為交換，P5+1國(guó)家承諾只要伊朗停止核武器，就會(huì)取消對(duì)伊朗的經(jīng)濟(jì)制裁
Possible barriers in the future
未來(lái)可能的障礙
The agreement represents a historic compromise after a 12-year disputebetween Iran and other countries. At times, the disagreement threatened toincite a new conflict in the Middle East.
這項(xiàng)協(xié)議是伊朗和協(xié)商國(guó)之間長(zhǎng)達(dá)12年談判的歷史性結(jié)果。雙方分歧會(huì)時(shí)不時(shí)的在中東挑起新的沖突。
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the nuclear deal a "stunning,historic mistake." He declared his country is “not bound by the internationalnuclear pact with Iran” and that Israel has the right to defend itself.
以色列首相內(nèi)塔尼亞胡稱這項(xiàng)協(xié)議使固執(zhí)的歷史性的錯(cuò)誤。他表示本國(guó)不會(huì)受伊朗的國(guó)際核武器協(xié)定的影響，以色列有權(quán)利保衛(wèi)自己。
Israelis looking to pressure the U.S. Congress, where Republican lawmakersare opposing the deal.
以色列為美國(guó)國(guó)會(huì)施加壓力，共和黨人反對(duì)這一協(xié)議。

參議員外交委員會(huì)主席柯?tīng)柨瞬幌嘈胚@項(xiàng)協(xié)議會(huì)使伊朗停止研發(fā)核武器。

他聲稱國(guó)會(huì)需要研究此項(xiàng)協(xié)定，再?zèng)Q定是否值得取消實(shí)施了幾年的經(jīng)濟(jì)制裁。
To answer his critics at home and overseas, President Obama said,
對(duì)于來(lái)自國(guó)內(nèi)外的批評(píng)，奧巴馬回應(yīng)道，
“I am confident that this deal will meet the national security interest of theUnited States and our allies. So I will veto any legislation that prevents thesuccessful implementation of this deal.”
我相信這項(xiàng)協(xié)定符合美國(guó)以及盟國(guó)的國(guó)家安全利益。因此我反對(duì)任何阻止這項(xiàng)協(xié)議成功實(shí)施的立法決定。
