特朗普拒确认伊朗遵守核协议 欲解决“漏洞”?

We hope you had a great weekend and we thank you for taking 10 minutes for CNN 10. I`m Carl Azuz.

希望大家度过了一个愉快的周末。感谢大家利用10分钟来观看CNN学生新闻，我是卡尔·阿祖兹。

Every 90 days, the president of the United States is required to certify an international nuclear agreement with the Middle Eastern country of Iran.

美国要求总统每90天确认一次中东国家伊朗是否遵守了国际核协议。

President Donald Trump has done this twice. But this weekend, he announced he would not recertify the agreement this time around. What does that mean?

美国总统特朗普已经已经例行两次，但是本周，特朗普总统宣布这次将不会进行再确认。那么特朗普总统言下何意呢?

First, the deal. It`s official named the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. It was signed in 2015 while the Obama administration was in office. Six countries led by the U.S. agreed to remove sanctions, economic penalties on Iran, allowing tens of billions of dollars to flow into Iran`s economy. In exchange, Iran agreed to significantly limit its controversial nuclear program, at least temporarily, and to allow international inspectors into the country to make sure it was living up to the deal.

首先，对于关于上述协议。此协议的官方名为《联合综合行动计划》。于2015年奥巴马执政期间签署。以美国为首的6个国家联合同意取消对伊朗的实施制裁和经济惩戒，允许数百亿美元恢复伊朗的经济。而作为条件，伊朗同意大幅削减核项目，至少是暂时性的，并允许国际核查人员进入伊朗，保证其符合协议要求。

Inspectors with the United Nations say Iran is keeping its end of the agreement. But President Trump says Iran isn`t. He says the country is still a nuclear threat and that he`s not recertifying the Iran nuclear deal.

联合国检查人员表示，伊朗一直遵守协议。但是特朗普总统表示，伊朗并未遵守。他表示，伊朗对其他国家构成了核威胁，并表示自己不会再核查此协议。

This doesn`t mean the agreement is cancelled. It means that it`s now up to the U.S. Congress to decide whether to reinstate U.S. sanctions against Iran and that`s something that could lead to the end of the deal.

但这一举措并不意味着该协议失效。而是意味着美国国会是否恢复对伊朗的制裁，而这会导致协议的终结。

But experts say the Trump administration doesn`t want to end it entirely, but instead wants changes made. For one thing, the current deal put certain restrictions on Iran`s nuclear program for 10 to 15 years. The Trump administration wants those limits to stay indefinitely.

但是专家表示，特朗普政府并不想要完全结束协议，只是希望改变协议。首先，当前的协议对伊朗的核项目施加了10到15年的限制。特朗普政府希望这些限制能无限期地维持下去。

For another, the current deal does not limit Iran`s ballistic missile program. The Trump administration wants it to. So, Congress will be considering these new requirements as it debates what to do about the deal.

另一方面，目前的协议并没有限制伊朗的弹道导弹计划。特朗普政府希望可以对此做出限制。因此，国会将考虑这些新的要求，正在讨论如何处理此协议。
