俄罗斯总统普京在叙利亚展开了轰炸行动。

DOUGHERTY: President Putin`s action was a shock to the world community. He had been supporting for years President Assad, but almost it appeared overnight, Russia took several actions, sending in a very large amount of military equipment to Syria, air attacks on ISIL, and then finally sending cruise missiles into Syria.

多尔蒂：普京的行为让西方世界震惊。多年来，他一直支持阿萨德总统，但是几乎是一夜之间，俄罗斯采取了几项重大的行动，遣送一大批的军事设备到叙利亚，空袭ISIL，最后是发送巡航导弹到叙利亚。

This is a deft and very bold move by President Putin to show that he is a player, that he and his country have to be reckoned with. Potentially, they could turn the tide. After all, President Assad`s troops were in trouble and President Putin perceived that it was time to get in there and make sure that Assad did not fall.

普京总统这样的行动是大胆的、巧妙的，这展示了他才是玩家，他和自己的国家都不容被小觑。可能，他们会扭转局势毕竟，虽然阿萨德总统的军队深陷困难，并且普京总统认为，是时候参与叙利亚问题，确保阿萨德总统不会倒台。

Another reason that President Putin wanted to enter the fray in Syria was to take attention off what was happening in Ukraine. His country and he getting a lot of criticism and also a lot of sanctions coming his way, and possibly by looking as if he was solving a problem in the world, perhaps Europe and the United States would not want to impose sanctions coming up again in December.

普京插足叙利亚战斗的另外一个原因，是转移大家在乌克兰问题的注意力。因为在乌克兰问题上，俄罗斯以及普京接受了很多外界的谴责和制裁。可能通过观察普京如何解决世界问题，欧洲和美国不会在12月份再次对俄罗斯实施制裁。

Finally, another reason is President Putin has a visceral hatred for any type of weakening of authority in a government. And so, to the end, he has been supporting President Assad simply because he is the leader of Syria. President Putin does not want regimes, even if they`re repressive, to fall, because he feels that chaos will come after that.

最后一个原因是普京总统对任何削弱政府权威的行径非常的厌恶。同时，普京一直支持阿萨德总统，原因很简单，就是因为阿萨德是叙利亚的领导人。尽管叙利亚的政体非常压制，但是普京总统不希望该体质瓦解，因为瓦解之后来临的就是战乱。
