BBC新闻附字幕[翻译]：奥巴马寻求国会批准对叙利亚动武

BBC News with Nick Kelly.

President Barack Obama has announced that he will seek authorization from Congress for military action against Syria. Speaking at the White House, Mr. Obama again accused the Syrian government of carrying out a chemical weapon’s attack in Guta on the outskirts of Damascus. But he said it was important to have a debate and a vote on the matter.

“For the last several days we’ve heard from members of Congress who want their voices to be heard. I absolutely agree. So this morning I spoke with all four congressional leaders and they’ve agreed to schedule a debate and then a vote as soon as Congress come back in the session while I believe I have the authority to carry out this military action without specific congressional authorization. I know that the country will be stronger if we take this course and our actions will be even more effective.”

Members of Congress have welcomed President Obama’s decision to seek their backing for military intervention in Syria. The Republican leader in the Senate Mitch McConnell said the president’s role as commander in chief will be strengthened by it. From Washington here is Rajini Vaidyanathan.

We’ve heard from senator Corker on the Senate foreign relation’s committee who says he’s pleased that the president has listened to the suggestion to bring this issue to Congress, also Eliot Engel from the House foreign relation’s committee who says the president’s made a strong and convincing case to the American people and he’s calling on the speaker to recall the house back from August recess to have a debate. It is worth noting that the latest opinion polls show that the American public isn’t in favor of any kind of military intervention.

The British Prime Minister David Cameron who suffered a parliamentary defeat on Syria on Thursday said he understood and supported Mr. Obama’s position. Earlier the Russian President Vladimir Putin said US allegations that the Syrian government had used chemical weapons made no sense. Mr. Putin said if the Americans have any evidence, they should present it to the UN Security Council.

“Common sense speaks for itself. The Syrian government forces are on the offensive. In certain regions they’ve surrounded the rebels. In these conditions to give away the trump card to those who continually called for external military intervention is simply utter folly and does not fit any logic at all. So I’m convinced that it’s nothing more than a provocation by those who want to drag other countries into the Syrian conflict.”

The Syrian government says its armed forces are on full alert and ready to face any potential foreign attack. State television quoted the Syrian prime minister Wael al-Halqi as saying that troops had their finger on the trigger and were prepared for any challenge. Some reports said the Syrian army had been moving military equipment to civilian areas in anticipation of possible US-led strikes. BBC correspondent says residents have been stocking up on food.

Thousands of protesters in Iraq have defied security threats staging demonstrations against what they say a generous privileges and benefits enjoyed by members of parliament. Iraqi politicians are entitled to pension payments of several thousand dollars a month far higher than other workers. The protesters also aired longstanding grievances about widespread corruption and the poor state of public services.

The family of an Indian student who died after being gang raped on a bus in Delhi last December say they are not satisfied with the sentence given to a teenager found guilty of her murder. The man who was 17 at the time was sentenced to three years. This is the maximum sentence he can receive under Indian law because of his age. The victim’s father said the sentence was too lenient.

“I am very disappointed with the verdict. He committed a great crime, he deserves life imprisonment if not death penalty. This was sent a message that every teenage criminal can get away. I have lost fate in our judicial system.”

And an auction house in the English county of Surrey has sold a Daimler V8 limousine for about 70,000 dollars advertised as having had one careful lady owner, Queen Elizabeth. Here is Tom Singleton.

The Queen had taken delivery of the Daimler in 2001. For the next three years it ferried her around her Windsor Castle estate and two in-from engagements in Buckingham Palace. And this most unusual of customers had some very particular requirements. The electrical windows were adapted to avoid the wind blowing in her face too much and following her observation that she had nowhere to put her handbag when accompanied by her lady in waiting, an armrest with a specially designed bag holder was installed, all of which was enough to persuade its new owner to pay considerably over the odds.

But he said it was important to have a debate and a vote on the matter.

奥巴马总统宣称他将寻求国会对叙利亚政府军事行动的批准。在白宫的发言中，奥巴马再次控告叙利亚政府采取化学武器袭击大马士革郊区库塔之事，但他称对该问题的讨论和表决非常重要。

“For the last several days we've heard from members of Congress who want their voices to be heard. I absolutely agree. So this morning I spoke with all four congressional leaders and they've agreed to schedule a debate and then a vote as soon as Congress come back in the session while I believe I have the authority to carry out this military action without specific congressional authorization. I know that the country will be stronger if we take this course and our actions will be even more effective.”

“过去几天，我们认识到国会成员希望他们的想法被了解。我对此完全同意。因此今早我与所有4位国会领导人谈话，他们已同意进行辩论并尽早在国会会议期表决，同时我认为我有权无需经过国会专门授权而执行军事行动。我知道如果我们选择这条道路，国家将会更强大，我们的行动也将更有效。”

Members of Congress have welcomed President Obama's decision to seek their backing for military intervention in Syria. The Republican leader in the Senate Mitch McConnell said the president's role as commander in chief will be strengthened by it. From Washington here is Rajini Vaidyanathan.

国会成员欢迎奥巴马总统寻求军事介入叙利亚的支持者的决定。参议院的共和党领导人Mitch McConnell称总统的领袖角色将由此加强。Rajini Vaidyanathan华盛顿报道。

We've heard from senator Corker on the Senate foreign relation's committee who says he's pleased that the president has listened to the suggestion to bring this issue to Congress, also Eliot Engel from the House foreign relation's committee who says the president's made a strong and convincing case to the American people and he's calling on the speaker to recall the house back from August recess to have a debate. It is worth noting that the latest opinion polls show that the American public isn't in favor of any kind of military intervention.

我们了解到参议院国家关系委员会的参议员Corker很高兴总统听从建议把这项议题呈给国会，而国家关系委员会的Eliot Engel称总统对美国民众做了一个强有力的决定，他还呼吁发言人重提八月休会期的问题并进行讨论。值得注意的是，最新民意调查显示，美国民众不支持任何形式的军事介入。

The British Prime Minister David Cameron who suffered a parliamentary defeat on Syria on Thursday said he understood and supported Mr. Obama's position. Earlier the Russian President Vladimir Putin said US allegations that the Syrian government had used chemical weapons made no sense. Mr. Putin said if the Americans have any evidence, they should present it to the UN Security Council.

英国首相David Cameron就叙利亚之事受到议会的攻击，因为他周四称理解并支持奥巴马的立场。早前俄罗斯总统Vladimir Putin称美国对叙利亚使用化学武器的指控毫无意义，还说如果美国有任何证据，都应该交给安理会。

“Common sense speaks for itself. The Syrian government forces are on the offensive. In certain regions they've surrounded the rebels. In these conditions to give away the trump card to those who continually called for external military intervention is simply utter folly and does not fit any logic at all. So I'm convinced that it's nothing more than a provocation by those who want to drag other countries into the Syrian conflict.”

“事实胜于雄辩。叙利亚政府武装力量蓄势待发。他们在某些区域已被反抗势力包围。这种条件下，放弃王牌而呼吁表面的军事介入是非常愚蠢且根本不符合逻辑。因此我确信这就是某些人令别国介入叙利亚冲突的挑拨。”

The Syrian government says its armed forces are on full alert and ready to face any potential foreign attack. State television quoted the Syrian prime minister Wael al-Halqi as saying that troops had their finger on the trigger and were prepared for any challenge. Some reports said the Syrian army had been moving military equipment to civilian areas in anticipation of possible US-led strikes. BBC correspondent says residents have been stocking up on food.

叙利亚政府称其军队已高度警戒，准备随时应对任何潜在的外来袭击。国家电视台引用叙利亚部长Wael al-Halqi的话，他称军队已手握扳机准备应对任何挑战。一些报道说叙利亚军队已把军事装备运至美国可能袭击的平民地区。BBC记者报道称居民已在储存食物。

“I am very disappointed with the verdict. He committed a great crime, he deserves life imprisonment if not death penalty. This was sent a message that every teenage criminal can get away. I have lost fate in our judicial system.”

“我对这项判决非常失望。他犯了严重罪行，不被判死刑至少也应终生监禁。他们发出了任何青少年犯罪都可以逃脱的讯息。该司法制度是我的厄运。”
