Our first story today concerns the Middle Eastern nation of Iran. It`s a theocratic republic. Its official religion is Islam. It has both a president elected every four years and a supreme leader, a Muslim religious scholar who`s appointed for life. He has the nation`s ultimate political and religious authority.

今天首先我們來說一下中東國家伊朗。這是一個神權(quán)政治共和國家。其官方宗教為伊斯蘭教。每四年選舉出一位總統(tǒng)，一名最高領(lǐng)袖和一名終身任命的穆斯林宗教學(xué)者。有全國性最終政治和宗教權(quán)威。

The U.S. and some other Western nations have designated Iran a state sponsor of terrorism. It`s been a focus of the international community because of its controversial nuclear program and because its leaders have repeatedly spoken out against Israel, a U.S. ally in the Middle East.

美國和一些其他西方國家認(rèn)為伊朗是一個支持恐怖主義的國家。其因備受爭議的核計(jì)劃問題得到國際社會的廣泛關(guān)注，因?yàn)橐晾暑I(lǐng)導(dǎo)人已經(jīng)多次表示反對美國在中東的同盟國家以色列。

But Iran and the Obama administration are currently in talks. U.S. officials are considering lifting economic penalties on Iran if it puts a hold on its nuclear program.

但是伊朗和奧巴馬政府最近進(jìn)行了談話。美國政府考慮如果伊朗放棄核計(jì)劃將取消其對伊朗的經(jīng)濟(jì)制裁。
