美俄在敘利亞問題上激辯聯合國
The US and Russia laid out starkly different views about how to end the Syrian conflict yesterday as Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin exchanged the sort of rhetorical barbs that have not been seen at the UN since the cold war.
美國與俄羅斯昨日就如何結束敘利亞內戰提出了截然不同的看法。美國總統巴拉克奧巴馬(Barack Obama)與俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾普京(Vladimir Putin)之間尖銳交鋒，呈現冷戰結束以來聯合國未見的一幕。
While Mr Obama told the UN General Assembly that there could be no place in Syria’s future for President Bashar al-Assad, a “tyrant who drops barrel bombs on innocent children”, the Russian president urged the west to work with the “legitimate” Syrian government to defeat terrorism.
奧巴馬在聯合國大會(UN General Assembly)上稱，敘利亞的未來不可能有現任總統巴沙爾阿薩德(Bashar al-assad)的位置，並稱阿薩德是一個“向無辜兒童投下桶爆彈的暴君”，而俄羅斯總統則敦促西方與敘利亞“合法”政府一起打敗恐怖主義。
After the US president called for a “managed transition” towards a new leader in Syria, Mr Putin proposed the formation of a new international coalition to defeat the Islamist militants of Isis that would be “similar to the anti-Hitler alliance”.
在奧巴馬呼籲在敘利亞進行向新領導人“有管理的過渡”後，普京提議成立一個“類似於反希特勒聯盟”的新國際聯盟，戰勝“伊拉克和黎凡特伊斯蘭國”(Isis)的伊斯蘭主義武裝分子。
The Russian leader said that the Assad regime was crucial to the fight against Isis. “We think it is an enormous mistake to refuse co-operating with the Syrian government which is valiantly fighting terrorism,” he said.
普京稱，阿薩德政權對於打擊Isis至關重要。“我們認爲，拒絕與正在奮勇打擊恐怖主義的敘利亞政府合作是一個巨大的錯誤，”他說。
