In Washington, President Barack Obama praised theagreement. He said that, “this deal demonstrated thatAmerican diplomacy can bring about real andmeaningful change.”

在華盛頓，美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬稱贊了此次協(xié)定。他表示，這項協(xié)議表明了年美國的外交政策能夠為會談帶來有意義的實質(zhì)性改變。

“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，由于美國站在力量和原則的立場才使得核武器停止在這片大地上擴散。正是因為這項協(xié)定，國際社會才能保證伊朗共和國以后不再研發(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)商國之間用了幾周的時間達(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Federica Mogherini在維也納向記者表示，這項協(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.”

我們清楚這項協(xié)議會受到嚴(yán)密的監(jiān)視。但是我們今天宣讀的這項協(xié)議并不僅僅是一個協(xié)議，更是一項好的協(xié)議，一項有利于各方和廣泛地國際社會的協(xié)議。它為這十多年來的核危機的終止開辟了新的可能，打開了新的道路。

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.

在她評論過后，伊朗外交部長賈維德用波斯語對剛才的記者重復(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)議對伊朗和P5+1國家組織來說是個雙贏政策。P5+1國家分別指的是英國、中國、法國、俄羅斯、美國和德國。

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。美國官員稱一旦實施這項協(xié)議，會部分減少伊朗現(xiàn)代離心力。這些機器利用離心力來分離物質(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.

整個會談的核心問題是對伊朗核區(qū)域的國際監(jiān)控，包括聯(lián)合國介入監(jiān)視此區(qū)域，允許伊朗考慮時間。相反，伊朗在協(xié)商中有權(quán)利辯論聯(lián)合國的要求。

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.

該項協(xié)議作為一項國際禁令，不得在五年多的時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)合國核武器辦公室發(fā)現(xiàn)伊朗并沒有進(jìn)行任何關(guān)于核武器的活動，這項禁令就能提前解除。伊朗政府再次聲明不會進(jìn)行研發(fā)核武器這類的活動。

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國家承諾只要伊朗停止核武器，就會取消對伊朗的經(jīng)濟制裁

Possible barriers in the future

未來可能的障礙

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.

這項協(xié)議是伊朗和協(xié)商國之間長達(dá)12年談判的歷史性結(jié)果。雙方分歧會時不時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)塔尼亞胡稱這項協(xié)議使固執(zhí)的歷史性的錯誤。他表示本國不會受伊朗的國際核武器協(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.

以色列為美國國會施加壓力，共和黨人反對這一協(xié)議。

Bob Corker is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He doesnot believe the deal will prevent Iran from “obtaining a nuclear weapon."

參議員外交委員會主席柯爾克不相信這項協(xié)議會使伊朗停止研發(fā)核武器。

Senator Corker said Congress will need to study the deal and decide whethersupporting it is worth lifting sanctions that took years to establish.

他聲稱國會需要研究此項協(xié)定，再決定是否值得取消實施了幾年的經(jīng)濟制裁。

To answer his critics at home and overseas, President Obama said,

對于來自國內(nèi)外的批評，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.”

我相信這項協(xié)定符合美國以及盟國的國家安全利益。因此我反對任何阻止這項協(xié)議成功實施的立法決定。
