CNN News: 简析俄罗斯

Putin is often cast as isolated in the world, targeted by international sanction, shunned on the international stage. But, in fact, he has been steadily building alliances in areas where Western powers struggled.

普京经常在世界上被孤立，成为被制裁的目标，并在国际的舞台上被规避。但是，实际上，普京一直在西方国家纠结的地区建立联盟。

(on camera): The obvious example is Syria, where Russia has intervened militarily to prop up Bashar al-Assad, Moscow`s long time ally. Russia`s air force and navy has been pounding anti-Assad rebels, turning the tables on the battlefield, sending a powerful message that Moscow can be a both a strong and reliable ally and a formidable enemy.

明显的例子就是叙利亚，俄罗斯进行军事干预扶持巴沙尔•阿萨德,莫斯科的长期盟友。俄罗斯的空军和海军袭击反对阿萨德的叛军，进行军事干预。这一切都在发布一个震慑人心的消息：俄罗斯可以是一个可靠的盟友，也可以是一个强大的敌人。

Russia has a working relationship with Iran and is increasingly seen as a serious player once again to the Middle East. Putin is building an important relationship with China as well, where Russia has a shared interest in trying to balancing the power of the United States, where China are building economic closer ties, particularly in energy, where the two countries have agreed among other things a $400 billion gas deal.

俄罗斯和伊朗是合作关系，现在这两者的关系再一次威胁到了中东。普京也和中国建立了重要的合作伙伴关系，目的是平衡美国的力量。俄罗斯和中国建立了密切的经济合作关系，尤其是在能源方面，两国签署了4000亿的天然气协议。

Russia`s status as a major gas and oil producer has encouraged countries like Turkey and Saudi Arabia sometimes themselves at odds with Moscow in other areas to forge closer ties with the Kremlin.

俄罗斯作为主要的石油和天然气生产国鼓励土耳其和沙特阿拉伯和克坶林宫建立密切的关系，尽管有时候这些国家在某些领域和俄罗斯存在分歧。

So, the relationship with United States and others in the West may be testy. But when it comes to Russia, much of the rest of the world is still keen to do business.

俄罗斯与美国和其他西方国家的关系可能还会接受考验，但是在俄罗斯问题上，大多数其他的国家热衷的还是贸易。
