CNN News: 普京小知識(shí)

Some have believed (ph) Vladimir Putin could be the most powerful man in the world. Not everyone sees him that way. But Putin has powerful levers, he's often willing to use -- including cyber power, military might and a cult of personality. Together, they form an often effective web of influence.

有些人認(rèn)為普京是世界上最強(qiáng)大的人。但并不是所有人都持有這樣的觀點(diǎn)。但是，普京有經(jīng)常食用的強(qiáng)有力的手段，這其中包括網(wǎng)絡(luò)權(quán)力、軍事能力以及個(gè)人崇拜。而這些因素形成了一個(gè)強(qiáng)有效的影響網(wǎng)。

While Moscow denies highly skilled hackers tried to influence the U.S. election, they've also been accused of spying and causing big disruptions in other countries, like Estonia and Ukraine -- claims Russia also rejects. Russia's enormous hacking power, state and criminal, isn't a new. It traces back to the USSR when its universities were designed to produce world class engineers.

莫斯科否認(rèn)使用黑客技術(shù)來干涉美國大選，但同時(shí)俄羅斯也被指控從事間諜活動(dòng)，干涉愛沙尼亞和烏克蘭等國家。但是，對(duì)于這些指控，俄羅斯拒不承認(rèn)。俄羅斯強(qiáng)大的黑客攻擊力量已經(jīng)由來已久。這可以追溯到蘇聯(lián)，當(dāng)時(shí)蘇聯(lián)的大學(xué)們旨在培養(yǎng)世界頂尖的工程師。

Putin's power is also hugely enhanced by his very personal control of Russia's vast military, much of it including the nukes, is also a Soviet legacy. So, Putin is pumping extraordinary amounts of money to modernization, but most analyst agree Russia's conventional forces are still only mighty enough to project power close to its borders.

普京的權(quán)力也因?yàn)槠鋫€(gè)人對(duì)俄羅斯所擁有的強(qiáng)大的軍事力量如核武器而提高。核武器也是蘇聯(lián)的遺產(chǎn)。但是普京投入了大量的資金將其軍事現(xiàn)代化，但是大多數(shù)分析人士表示俄羅斯的常規(guī)部隊(duì)只足夠接近自己的邊界國家。

Russia also used limited air power to successful prop up the Syrian regime. But critics say that works because of Putin's willingness to indiscriminately bombard civilian areas, something Moscow denies.

俄羅斯還利用有限的空中力量來支持?jǐn)⒗麃喺５桥u(píng)人士表示，對(duì)于普京轟炸一些平民地區(qū)，莫斯科對(duì)此持否認(rèn)態(tài)度。

One of the biggest sources of Putin's power is his own extraordinary popularity at home. The more other world leaders criticized him, the more Russians celebrate their president. His approval figure soared with Ukraine and spiked again with Syria.

普京的能力的主要來源之一就是他在俄羅斯不凡的影響力。有越來多的世界領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人批評(píng)普京，那么就有越來多的俄羅斯人們稱贊他們的總統(tǒng)。隨著烏克蘭和敘利亞事件，普京的支持率再次飆升。

The reason many Russians really care about their country's ability to influence world events, even if it comes to sanctions and a hit to their own quality of life. They're proud of it. Putin also benefits from a political system and the media landscape with zero tolerance for criticism.

即使俄羅斯面臨制裁以及自己的生活質(zhì)量受影響，很多俄羅斯人非常的關(guān)心俄羅斯對(duì)世界大事的影響力。他們非常的自豪。普京也受益于俄羅斯的政治體系以及媒體的零容忍能力。

So, no doubt, Vladimir Putin is powerful and unpredictable, but he's also limited by some pretty big problems. The Russian economy isn't going anywhere. That's why there is another popular theory about Putin and his web of influence, as someone who plays a weak hand very well.

毫無疑問，普京是強(qiáng)大的不可預(yù)測的，但是，他也仍面臨的一些重大的問題。俄羅斯的經(jīng)濟(jì)似乎沒有起色。這就是另外一個(gè)流行的理論，盡管普京手段強(qiáng)硬。
