CNN News:奥巴马缩短印度访问前往沙特阿拉伯对去世国王进行吊唁

CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: Hi, welcome to the week`s pun-ultimate presentation of CNN STUDENT NEWS. I`m Carl Azuz with ten minutes of commercial free headlines. We are starting with news concerning Saudi Arabia, a Middle Eastern country that`s the world`s 13 largest nation in area and its biggest export of oil.

欢迎收看本周倒数第二天不含商业广告的十分钟CNN学生时事新闻，我是Carl Azuz。今天的新闻从沙特阿拉伯这个中东国家开始，这个国家是世界领土面积排名第13位的国家，并且有着丰富的石油资源。

Saudi Arabia is a monarchy. King Abdullah who`s led the nation since 2005 died last week. And President Obama recently traveled there to pay his respects and visit Saudi Arabia`s new leader, King Salman. Saudi Arabia is an ally of the U.S. in fighting terrorism, but it has a bad record on human rights. A blogger who spoke out against the Saudi government was recently whipped a 1000 times and imprisoned for 20 years. The nation doesn`t allow women to drive, made this a politically challenging trip for President Obama.

沙特阿拉伯为君主制国家。阿卜杜拉国王自2005年开始执政掌管该国，于上周去世。奥巴马总统最近已经前往该国进行吊念，并对新领导人萨勒曼国王进行访问。沙特阿拉伯是美国对抗恐怖主义分子的盟友，但是其人权方面一直做得不太好。最近在一位博主公开指责沙特阿拉伯政府被实施1000次鞭刑并被判20年监禁。该国还不允许女性开车，这对于奥巴马此次出访是一次政治挑战。

President Obama`s stop in Saudi Arabia was brief, but spoke volumes about U.S. relations with this key Mideast ally.

奥巴马总统在沙特的访问是短暂的，但是这也能够充分说明美国与这位中东盟友的关系非同小可。

After cutting short his trip to India following the death of Saudi King Abdullah, the president and the newly crowned monarch in Riyadh were all smiles when Mr. Obama praised King Salman`s palace.

在缩短对印度访问行程之后奥巴马总统驱身前往沙特阿拉伯。当奥巴马总统称赞萨勒曼国王宫殿漂亮时居住在首都利雅得的新任国王露出微笑。

BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: Beautiful.

漂亮~

AZUZ: The response was now that you hear it`s even more beautiful. But the president declined to criticize the kingdom for the beating of a Saudi blogger who was punished for scrutinizing his country`s religious police.

实物要更漂亮。但是总统拒绝对国王惩罚一位批评其国家宗教警察的沙特博主一事提出批评。
