CNN News: “特朗普派”候任國務(wù)卿

Our show begins with a pair of headlines. The first from Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., where CIA Director Mike Pompeo appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee yesterday. Pompeo is U.S. President Donald Trump’s nominee to be the next secretary of state. If confirmed, he’d be America’s 70th secretary of state, responsible for advising the president on foreign affairs.

幾條熱點新聞.頭條新聞自華盛頓的國會山。昨天，中央情報局局長蓬佩奧·龐貝在參議院外交關(guān)系委員會面前露面。蓬佩奧是美國總統(tǒng)唐納德·特朗普提名的下一任國務(wù)卿。若得到證實，他將是美國第70任國務(wù)卿，負責(zé)就外交事務(wù)向總統(tǒng)提供建議。

In his opening remarks, Pompeo indicated his priorities would be taking a hard line on Russia and Iran, avoiding past mistakes with North Korea and rebuilding the U.S. State Department.

在他的開場白中，蓬佩奧表示他的首要任務(wù)是對俄羅斯和伊朗采取強硬路線，避免過去與朝鮮的錯誤，并重建美國國務(wù)院。

But it’s not certain whether the Senate will confirm Pompeo to the State Department job. He needs Senate approval to get it. And one Republican and some Democrats on the committee he spoke to yesterday are expected to oppose his nomination. We’ll keep you posted on that process.

但尚不確定參議院是否會確認蓬佩奧在國務(wù)院的工作。他需要得到參議院的批準(zhǔn)才能獲得批準(zhǔn)。在昨天與共和黨和一些民主黨人進行了交談，預(yù)計他們會反對提名。我們會繼續(xù)追蹤報道.

Next, we’re crossing the Atlantic and Mediterranean to bring you an update on events concerning Syria. The Middle Eastern country is in the midst of a years-long civil war. Other nations, including Russia, Iran and the U.S. have been involved. And America and its allies look like they’re getting ready to take some sort of action there.

接下來，我們將穿越大西洋和地中海，為您帶來有關(guān)敘利亞局勢的最新消息。這個中東國家正在經(jīng)歷長達數(shù)年的內(nèi)戰(zhàn)。包括俄羅斯、伊朗和美國在內(nèi)的其他國家也參與其中。美國和它的盟友們看起來已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好采取行動了。

French President Emmanuel Macron says that he has proof that the Syrian government used a chemical weapon in a recent attack. That’s illegal under international law.

法國總統(tǒng)馬卡龍表示，自己有證據(jù)證明敘利亞政府在最近的襲擊中使用了化學(xué)武器。這在國際法中是非法的。

And earlier this week, President Trump seemed to suggest that military action by the U.S. would be taken soon.

本周早些時候，特朗普總統(tǒng)似乎暗示，美國將很快采取軍事行動。

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has denied using chemical weapons and says any international force against his country would threaten security and peace. Russia, an ally of Syria, has called for a U.N. Security Council on Friday to discuss this issue.

敘利亞總統(tǒng)巴沙爾·阿薩德否認使用化學(xué)武器，并表示任何針對其國家的國際力量都將威脅到安全與和平。敘利亞的盟友俄羅斯星期五呼吁聯(lián)合國安理會討論這個問題。
