* The cashier said, “Here you go！”when she gave me the change. （当收款员找我零钱时，她说：「这就是！」）
但是 Here you（或 we）go again 意思是「你又旧事重提了」，表示对一件事情多次重复的厌烦。（feel annoyed when something is repeated over and over again）。
* When he brought up the same issue to me, I said, “Here you go again！”（当他向我提出同样的问题时，我说：「又是老话题了！」）
至於“Here goes”又是指说话者开始做某事时说：「开始了」。例如：
*“Here goes！”, shouted the racer as he started running.（当赛跑者开始跑步时，喊著「我就开始了！」）
Stay tuned!
这多半是指播音员在收音机或电视上所说的。意思是：「稍等一下，下面还有」(Stay where you are in the same channel)，但也可以表示对一件事情的继续讨论 (to keep continuing the same issue)。（tuned是形容词，原意是调好电台或电视）
Stay tuned, there will be more on this subject tomorrow.（稍等，这个问题明天再谈。）
Stay tuned 的等候时间，可长可短，要看情况而定。
然而 "wait a moment" 通常是指 immediately，时间较短。
Stay tuned（或 wait a moment）I will be right back.（指马上回来）
但是：
We have to stay tuned regarding the name change of our school.（我们必须等待校名的变更）（等待时间较长）

管理数字身份鉴别不管对消费者还是商家都是极其重要的问题，也是美国市场与欧洲委员会摩擦的一个主要来源。
But the crucial issue was to hire an experienced manager to run the place.
但是当务之急是找到一个经验丰富的总经理管理公司。
She describes phenomena and provides materials for a judgment about society and social issues; it is the reader's work to put the observations together and understand the coherent point of view behind them.
读者的职责是将各种观察连结起来，并力图去领悟它们背后所隐含的那个连贯的观点。
Historians who study preindustrial Europe have used the records to establish a series of categories of crime and to quantify indictments that were issued over a given number of years.
研究前工业化时代欧洲的史学家还利用这些记录来确立一系列犯罪类型，并量化统计出在特定数量的年分中所发出的起诉书。
The two, he argued, form a symbiotic union in which religious feelings are often applied to racial issues and racial problems are often projected onto a metaphysical plane.
他指出，两者形成了一种共生结合，在这里，宗教的情感常常被应用于种族问题，而种族问题也常常被投射于形而上的层面。
Even the "radical" critiques of this mainstream research model, such as the critique developed in Divided Society, attach the issue of ethnic assimilation too mechanically to factors of economic and social mobility and are thus unable to illuminate the cultural subordination of Puerto Ricans as a colonial minority.
即使是对这一主流研究模型的“激进”批评，诸如《分裂的社会》（Divided Society）一书中所提出的那种批判，亦将少数民族同化问题过分机构地与经济和社会移动性的因素联系起来，因此无从阐明波多黎各人作为一个殖民地少数民族的文化从属关系。
His early output was remarkably eclectic: it included not only the standard comedies, melodramas, westerns, and thrillers, but also such novelties as adaptations from Browning and Tennyson, and treatments of social issues.
他早期的作品显得极其折衷主义式的：它不仅仅包括标准的喜剧、传奇剧、西部片、和恐怖片，而且亦包括自布朗宁（Browning）和丁尼生（Tennyson）文学作品的改编，以及对社会问题的处理等这样一类新颖的做法。
"The government needs to be much more thoughtful and committed to addressing these tough issues that I have described," he said.
莫里斯说，“缅甸政府必须考虑得更周全，致力于解决我提到的这些棘手问题。”
And unlike previous rounds, delegations have had frequent one-on-one meetings outside of the plenary sessions. The United States and North Korea have held multiple bilaterals on the sidelines, in a sign that they are tackling substantive issues.
另一个不同之处是，除了举行全体会谈之外，各国代表团经常举行双边会谈。美国和北韩已经举行了几次双边会谈，显示双方正在努力解决重大问题。
After that, however, the issue of Council expansion still faces a long and difficult road. A second General Assembly resolution would be needed to decide which countries would be named to permanent Council seats.
但是在表决后，扩大安理会的问题仍然面临漫长而艰巨的路，还需要联合国大会再通过一项决议来决定哪些国家担任常任理事国。
The United States will also push for more accountability from the aid recipient countries. Paul Reid, senior advisor to the Office of the Under Secretary of State for Economic, Business and Agricultural Affairs, said it makes no sense to ramp up aid levels if the serious issue of weak governance isn't addressed. "We will pursue smarter ways to provide more and better aid. But we will do so with the knowledge that more money alone is not the answer, and may well prove to be counter-productive for those nations that lack adequate governance and capacity to effectively utilize that aid," he said.
美国也将会从援助接受国中争取到更多的责任。国务卿下属经济、商务和农业事物办公室高级顾问里德说，如果软弱的政府没有强调严肃的问题，那么升高援助的级别就变的没有意义了。皮特曼说：“我们将以更明智的方式提供更多更好的援助。但我们这样做的时候也明白，光是提供更多资金并不能解决问题。而且，对那些缺乏充足的政府管理和有效使用援助能力的国家来说，更多的资金还可能产生反效果。”
Mr. Blair says EU leaders will gather in Britain in a few months for an informal summit on what he sees as the core issue facing the bloc: how to sustain economic growth, while maintaining a strong social safety net.
布莱尔说，欧盟领导人将在几个月内在英国举行非正式的峰会，商讨在他看来是欧盟目前面临的核心问题，也就是如何在维护一个强大的社会安全网络的同时保证经济的增长。
Periodic tallies released throughout the day by the Interior Ministry showed Mr. Karroubi narrowly clinging to second place. But the Guardian Council, an unelected body of hard-line clerics that screens candidates and oversees the electoral process, at several points issued its own figures, showing Mr. Ahmadinejad in second place.
伊朗内政部一整天不断公布点票结果，显示卡鲁比以微弱多数位居第二。但是，负责筛选候选人并且监督选举进程、由未经选举产生的强硬派宗教人士组成的伊朗宪法监护委员会先后几次公布该委员会的数字，声称德黑兰市长艾哈迈迪·内贾德位居第二名。
British Prime Minister Tony Blair described his talks with the Italian prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, as "friendly and constructive". He said the two countries agreed on all the key issues and bilateral relations between Italy and the United Kingdom are in strong shape.
英国首相布莱尔说，他与意大利贝卢斯科尼的会谈是“友好和具有建设性的”。布莱尔说，英国和意大利对关键的问题都持相同的观点，两国的双边关系十分稳固。
The two leaders also discussed issues affecting Europe just as Britain prepares to take on the European Union's six-month rotating presidency and international issues, namely the Middle East, Afghanistan and Iraq.
目前，正当英国即将担任为期半年的欧盟轮值主席国之际，英国和意大利两国领导人讨论了一些影响欧洲的问题和中东、阿富汗和伊拉克等国际问题。
A statement issued by the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq says it is 'aggressively' investigating who took the pictures and how they were made public. The statement says the photos were taken in what it calls "clear violation" of procedures, and appear to be more than a year old. It says the command is "disappointed at the possibility that someone responsible for the security, welfare and detention of Saddam would take and provide these photos for public release."
美国领导的驻伊拉克联军发表的声明说，有关照片是谁拍摄的和如何公布于众的调查正在紧张进行。声明说拍摄这些照片明显违反了禁令。照片可能拍摄于一年多前。声明说司令官对负责萨达姆的安全、福利和拘留的人员可能拍摄并将这些照片公布于众感到失望。
That makes it a highly divisive issue in a nation where the political fight over abortion is still intense.
在美国这个因为堕胎而吵得不可开交的国家里，干细胞研究是一个争议很大的问题。
Some prominent Republicans, including former First Lady Nancy Reagan, have called on President Bush to ease restrictions on federal funding for more embryonic stem cell lines. Former President Ronald Reagan died last year after a long battle with Alzheimer's. His son, Ron Jr., made stem cells an issue in last year's presidential campaign with a speech at the Democratic National Convention.
包括前第一夫人南希·里根在内的一些著名共和党人，也呼吁布什总统放松限制，允许联邦资金赞助更多的对胚胎干细胞种类的研究。前总统罗纳德·里根去年死于长期折磨他的阿兹海默氏老年痴呆症。他的儿子罗恩，在去年总统大选期间在民主党全国代表大会上发表的演讲中，曾把干细胞研究作为问题提了出来。
But at a news briefing here, State Department Spokesman Richard Boucher said the issue was by no means closed, and that the investigation would be thorough and open. "The fact that we continue to say these things every day is because we are transparent about this, because we are up-front about this," he said. "We'll continue to be up-front about this. What will satisfy people in the field, I don't know for sure. All I know is that we'll be true to American principle. We will respect other religions. We will find and punish any errors and mistakes that occurred and we'll do it all in a transparent manner."
但是美国国务院发言人包润石在华盛顿的一次新闻发布会上说，调查还远没有结束，今后的调查会是全面的、开放的。鲍彻说：“我们每天都在谈论这些事情本身就是因为我们是透明的、坦诚的。今后我们还会继续这样做。人们对我们的做法会不会满意，我不敢肯定。但是我们会坚持美国的原则，我们会尊重其他宗教。我们会把那些过错找出来，并给以惩罚，而且这一切都会以透明的方式进行。”
But he said administration officials understand the genuine feeling about the issue in the Muslim world, and are thus trying to explain the U.S. position and commitment to religious rights as clearly as possible.
但是他说，美国政府官员理解穆斯林世界对这一事件的真实情感，因而正在尽可能清楚地解释美国的立场和对宗教权利的承诺。
He said as a precaution, U.S. consulates in three Pakistani cities, Karachi, Peshawar and Lahore had been temporarily closed, but that local American residents are being kept informed about safety and security issues through so-called warden messages from the diplomatic posts.
他说以防万一，美国把在巴基斯坦三个城市卡拉奇、白沙瓦和拉合尔的大使馆暂时关闭,但是当地的美国居民正通过来自外交邮件所谓的"区长讯息"得到的关于安全问题的通知。
"The celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Victory in Europe day will be more ceremonial, and, of course, it will be more a public relations show, more a propaganda event, for [President] Putin to demonstrate his popularity among Western leaders," he explained. "So, I don't believe the issues of substance will be really high during these ceremonial events."
沃尔克：“欧洲二战胜利60周年庆祝仪式将是更礼仪性的活动，是展示公关的活动、宣传性质的活动，是为了让普京显示他在西方领导人中的声望。所以我认为在这些活动中不会有很多实质性的内容。”
President Bush has held a rare formal news conference, a session that focused primarily on two key domestic issues--rising gas prices, and the future of the massive government program that provides benefits to retirees.
美国总统布什星期四晚举行了一次少见的正式记者会，内容主要集中在两个重要的国内问题上。不断上升的汽油价格、以及政府庞大的退休福利系统的未来。
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is to vote next Tuesday on the Bolton nomination. Its hearings on the issue were marked by charges that Mr. Bolton, as Under-Secretary of State for arms control, bullied intelligence analysts he perceived to be impeding his policy goals.
国会参议院外交关系委员会下星期二将就是否批准博尔顿的提名进行表决。在博尔顿的提名听证会上，有人指责说，他在担任负责军备控制事务的国务次卿时，粗暴地对待那些他认为阻碍了自己政策目标的情报分析人员。
The United States and China have agreed in principle for the first time to hold regular, senior level talks on a range of political and economic issues. U.S. officials say the decision reflects China's growing global role, including its sponsorship of talks on North Korea's nuclear program.
美国和中国在原则上首次达成一致，两国将就政治和经济问题定期举行高级别会谈。美国官员表示，这一决定反映了中国不断提高的国际地位，包括主持北韩核项目会谈。
He said the two sides already have an active dialogue on economic issues but that the new structure will take into account China's growing political role in the region and globally as a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council.
鲍彻说，美中双方就经济问题举行过一次积极的对话，但是美中新对话将考虑中国作为联合国安理会常任理事国在亚太地区和世界范围不断提高的政治地位。
"It reflects the growing role that China has been playing in Asia, globally, at the United Nations as a U.N. Security Council member, on many, many world issues. And we have over the past several years, I think, been able to enhance our cooperation with China on many of these issues, whether it's North Korea, the fight against terrorism. We need to work with them in Sudan. All these things," Mr. Boucher says.
鲍彻说：“新对话反映了中国作为安理会常任理事国在亚洲以及全球在许多世界问题上不断增长的作用。过去几年，不管是北韩、还是反恐方面，我们都与中国在许多问题上加强了合作。我们需要在苏丹问题上以及所有国际事务中与中国合作。”
U.S.-Chinese cooperation has increased since the September 2001 terrorist attacks, despite friction over trade issues and Taiwan. The United States has looked to China to prod North Korea to return to the six-party talks Beijing has hosted on that country's nuclear program.
自2001年11恐怖袭击以来，尽管中美双方在贸易和台湾问题上存在分歧，两国仍然加强了合作。美国希望中国促使北韩重返中国主持有关北韩核问题的六方会谈。
"While there have been some statements that indicate a commitment to the six-party process, we still do not have a clear commitment from the North Koreans to come back to talks or a date that they would come back to talks. So the Chinese continue to work these issues," Mr. Boucher says. "We're continuing to keep in touch with them and other parties."
鲍彻说：“虽然有些信息显示北韩可能重返六方会谈，但是我们仍然没有得到北韩重返谈判以及何时返回谈判的承诺。中国仍在这些问题上继续努力，我们也和中国以及其它谈判各方保持联系。”
Mr. Boucher reiterated the United States' readiness to return to the talks without preconditions. He said North Korea should similarly be open to serious discussions to resolve the issues of its nuclear program and to "end its international isolation."
鲍彻重申，美国准备无条件地返回谈判桌。鲍彻说，北韩也应该采取同样的态度进行严肃的讨论，以便解决其核项目问题，并且“结束在国际上的孤立局面”。
Concern over the president's plan is not limited to Democrats. Some Republicans are nervous about public opinion polls that suggest growing majorities disapprove of the president's approach to Social Security, even as he campaigns on the issue around the country.
对布什总统的方案有顾虑的不仅仅是民主党人士，一些共和党人对民意调查的结果感到担心。民意调查显示，不认同布什总统解决社安制度方案的人越来越多，即使布什正在为他的方案在全国各地争取支持。
Mr. Akayev's whereabouts are unknown although the new government insists he has left the country. The former leader reportedly issued a statement that was distributed by Russian news agencies calling rumors of his resignation lies.
尽管新政府坚持认为阿卡耶夫已经逃离了吉尔吉斯斯坦，但是没有人知道他的下落。据报道，阿卡耶夫在俄罗斯媒体上发表了一份声明说，有关他辞职的消息是谎言。
Authorities are advising people in southern Japan to stay away from the seacoast. The meteorological agency initially issued a tsunami warning, but it was canceled about an hour after the first tremor.
日本当局提醒南部的居民要远离海岸线。日本气象厅最初曾发布海啸警报，不过在第一次地震发生大约一个小时后取消了海啸警报。
"The only practical way of addressing the water crisis is through consolidation of civil society and the creation of a legally binding mechanism for resolving all water-related issues," he said. "This is why Green Cross International together with other international, national and local organizations has launched an international public campaign to urge the national governments to start the negotiations of the global treaty on the right to water."
利霍塔尔说：“解决水危机唯一行之有效的办法是通过联合公民社会以及创建一套法律约束机制等方式来解决所有与水相关的问题。这也就是为什么国际绿色十字会和其他国际性以及各国和地区性的机构共同发起了这次公众性的运动，以敦促各国政府开始协商，制订全球性的用水权利协议。”
The issue that dominated the talks in Bratislava was Russia's commitment to democracy.
布什总统在布拉迪斯拉发与俄罗斯总统普京会谈的主要内容是俄罗斯对民主的承诺。
The two leaders spoke at a news conference where some reporters engaged them in a debate on press freedom. In one way or another, all the questions dealt with the democracy issue. But the talks did cover other matters, reflecting the need for the two countries to work together, despite their differences.
布什和普京在记者会上都讲了话。记者们向两位领导人提问，引起了他们对新闻自由的争论。记者们的问题或多或少都与民主有关。但是布什与普京的会谈还是涉及了其他一些问题，这反映出美俄两国尽管存在分歧，但仍需要合作。
At a news conference with her Egyptian counterpart Mr. Aboul Gheit by her side, Ms. Rice said she had raised human rights issues including the case of Egyptian opposition party leader Ayman Nour, arrested late last month on fraud charges his supporters say are trumped-up. "I did raise our concerns, our very strong concerns about this case. I did talk at some length about the importance of this issue to the United States, to the American administration, to the American Congress, to the American people. And I expressed our very strong hope that there will be a resolution of this very soon," she said.
在跟埃及外长盖特共同举行的记者会上，赖斯国务卿说，她提出了埃及的人权问题，其中包括埃及反对党领袖努尔的问题。努尔上个月月底被逮捕，罪名是进行欺诈。努尔的支持者表示，这些罪名是不实之词。赖斯说：“我表示了我们的关切，我们对这个案件十分关切。我也花了相当的时间说明了这个问题对美国、对本届行政当局、对美国国会和美国人民的重要性。我表达了我们强烈希望能很快解决这个问题。”
In the modern era, State of the Union speeches have become an opportunity for the president to lay out a lengthy series of specific policy proposals on a wide range of issues.
在现代，国情咨文已成为总统就广泛问题详细阐述一系列具体政策的机会。
American Middle East envoy William Burns heads to the region this week to talk with Israeli and Palestinian officials about just that issue - how to revive negotiations under the internationally backed "road map" peace plan.
美国的中东特使威廉·伯恩斯这个星期将前往中东地区，与以色列和巴勒斯坦官员会谈，讨论如何在国际支持的和平路线图计划的基础上恢复谈判。
"We had a good discussion on all of the bilateral issues between our two nations, but we also talked about broader issues of Euro-Atlantic integration, and how Ukraine will be moving to make sure that it become a valued member of the Euro-Atlantic community," said Mr. Powell.
鲍威尔说，“我们在有关两国的双边关系上进行了很好的讨论，但是我们也谈到了欧洲-大西洋整合等更广泛的问题，以及乌克兰将采取什么步骤，确保其成为欧洲-大西洋联盟中一个有价值的成员。”
Secretary of State Colin Powell discussed the issue in an unusual set of appearances on five TV network morning programs Tuesday.
星期二早上，鲍威尔国务卿不同寻常地接连在五个电视频道上露面，讨论了这个问题。
"The women had identified such needs as the need for firewood, which is the main source of energy in the rural areas, the need for food, the need for clean drinking water, the need for building materials," she explained. "As you can see, all of those are fruits of the land. At that time also there was soil erosion because of deforestation of the upstream, especially up on the mountains. So I got this idea almost in passing that if we planted the trees we would be able to address some of these needs that the women had and we would be able to stabilize the soil. We started that way, but eventually it moved to other areas. It moved to issues of democracy, issues of human rights, women's rights, issues of peace. But initially it was a very basic activity of meeting the needs of rural women."
马塔伊说：“ 妇女们需要柴火，那是农村地区最重要的能源来源。她们需要食物和清洁的饮用水，还需要建筑材料。可以看出，这些都产自于土地，而当时由于上游的森林被砍伐，尤其是山里树木减少，造成了土壤流失。因此，我立刻想到，如果种树，就可以解决这些妇女的需要，并且可以保护土壤。我们就这样开始了，后来又扩大到其它领域，比如民主、人权、妇女权利以及和平等。而我们的初衷是解决农村妇女的基本需求。”
But since the mid-1990s, China's economic growth has lifted more than 300 million of its people from extreme poverty. Mr. Morris says China is now in a position to join the ranks of international aid donors."I'm hopeful that China will partner with the World Food Program to help us do more to take advantage of the strength they have, the experience, to address these tough issues elsewhere," added Mr. Morris. He asked China to help the WFP in sending food aid to China's impoverished communist neighbor, North Korea.
不过从1990年代中期开始，中国的经济成长已经让三亿多人脱贫，莫里斯说，中国现在已经有能力加入国际捐助者的行列：“我希望中国能与世界粮食计划署合作，借着他们的力量帮助我们作更多事，并透过在中国的经验，来处理其他地方费力艰难的问题。”莫里斯并要求中国协助世界粮食计划署提供粮食援助给中国赤贫的邻国北韩。
When pressed by reporters, spokeswoman Suzy DeFrances, would go no further than a brief statement on the term limit issue. She said only that the Bush administration does not comment on intelligence matters.
在记者一再追问下，德弗朗西斯除了有关任期问题的简短声明之外，只是说，布什政府不就情报问题发表评论。
Bush administration officials continue to react to a complaint from an American soldier headed for Iraq that U.S. forces deployed for battle there are not getting the vehicle armor they need to protect themselves from attacks. The issue came up during a visit to the troops in Kuwait by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld Wednesday and continues to reverberate around Washington.
在一名即将奔赴伊拉克的美军士兵抱怨战地美军的车辆得不到必要的装甲防护之后，布什政府官员仍在对此做出回应。国防部长拉姆斯菲尔德星期三探访驻科威特美军时，有位士兵当场向他发问，这个问题继续在华盛顿产生震荡。
The rare Saturday morning meeting in the Oval Office was originally planned as a courtesy call, a chance for President Musharraf to congratulate President Bush on his re-election. Instead, there were substantive issues on the table, and the Pakistani leader, who has been calling for a greater U.S. role in the Middle East, left with assurances from President Bush.
星期六早上在椭圆形办公室进行的罕见的会晤原本只是一次礼节性拜访，让穆沙拉夫有机会恭喜布什总统获得连任。不过，会谈讨论了实质的议题，而一向希望美国扩大参与中东事务的这名巴基斯坦领袖在会晤中得到了布什总统的保证。
President Musharraf has stressed that resolving the Israeli-Palestinian dispute is crucial to Muslims and the war on terrorism. He told reporters it was the most important issue they discussed."I'm grateful for the extreme understanding that the president has shown towards the concerns of Pakistan," said General Musharraf.
穆沙拉夫总统强调，解决巴以争端对穆斯林世界以及反恐战争都非常重要。他告诉记者，这是他们讨论的最重要的议题。穆沙拉夫说：“对于布什总统对巴基斯坦关切的事情表达出非常深入的了解，我对此非常感激。”
Mr. Bush once again thanked European leaders who are trying to mediate the Ukrainian crisis. He said he is watching their efforts closely."We will continue to monitor and be involved in the process that encourages there to be a peaceful resolution of this issue," he said. "And there are different options on the table and we are watching carefully what has taken place."
布什再次感谢那些试图调解乌克兰危机的欧洲国家领导人。他说，他正在密切关注他们的努力。布什总统说：“我们将继续监督并参与鼓励和平解决这个问题的有关进程。目前有可供选择的不同方案，我们正在密切留意选择哪种方式。”
She says the nuclear issue is very complicated and as to the specifics for the next round of six-way talks - that is still under consultation.
她说，“核问题非常复杂，下一轮六方会谈的具体时间正在协商之中。”
In the Democratic radio address, Senator Kerry focused more on domestic issues, with an appeal targeted to women voters, who traditionally back Democratic candidates.
克里参议员在民主党的广播讲话中，关注更多的是国内事务。他的呼吁对象是女性选民，女性选民传统上是民主党候选人的支持者。
From illegal immigration to the outsourcing of jobs, the candidates sparred on issue after issue. On taxes, President Bush characterized his opponent as a tax-hiking liberal. The president says his own tax plan has brought relief to middle-income families, and has helped to turn around a poor economy.
两位总统候选人在一个又一个问题上针锋相对、各抒已见，辩论的问题从非法移民到企业把生产合同外包到海外。在税收问题上，布什总统把他的辩论对手说成是提高税收的自由派。布什说，他的税收计划为中产阶级家庭带来了财政上的舒缓，大大扭转了不良的国家经济。
This debate focused on domestic issues, but touched on terrorism, homeland security, and American troop deployment. Mr. Kerry has proposed expanding the military by two active-duty divisions. Mr. Kerry accused the president of showing "bad judgment," and said American forces are "overextended." The Democrat renewed his charge that the Bush Administration failed to build an international alliance. "The most important thing to relieve the pressure on all of our armed forces is frankly to run a foreign policy that recognizes that America is strongest when we are working with real alliances," he said.
这场辩论主要集中在国内问题，但是也涉及到恐怖主义、国土安全、以及美国部队的部署等其它问题。克里参议员建议美国武装部队增加两个现役师。克里指责布什总统“判断不佳”，并且说，美国部队已经捉襟见肘。这位民主党总统候选人再次指责布什政府没有能够建立起一个国际联盟。他说：“解脱我们武装部队压力的最重要的一点是：坦白地说，就是我们执行的对外政策应该主张，只有在我们和真正的盟友协作的时候，美国才最强大。”
This debate was held in Arizona, where illegal immigration is an issue. Both candidates endorse a temporary-worker program for foreign nationals. Mr. Kerry would also legalize the status of long-term residents who entered the United States illegally. Mr. Bush opposes that."I don't believe we ought to have amnesty. I don't think we ought to reward illegal behavior," stated President Bush. "There are plenty of people standing in line to become a citizen, and we ought not to crowd these people ahead of them in line."
At a political rally in the Midwest state of Missouri, the Republican president continued a familiar theme of his campaign: that Senator Kerry is a so-called flip-flopper on national security issues who changes his opinion to take whatever view is most politically opportune."Several of his statements just don't pass the credibility test," he said. "With a straight face, he said, I've only had one position on Iraq. He must think we've been on another planet. In the spring of 2003, as I ordered the invasion of Iraq, Senator Kerry said it was the right decision. Now he says it is the wrong war."
在中西部的密苏里州的一次政治集会上，这位共和党总统继续重弹他的竞选老调。他说：“克里参议员在国家安全问题上变来变去。为了政治投机，他会根据形势需要改变自己的观点。”布什还说：“他表达的几个观点根本就无法令人信服。他会一本正经地说，在伊拉克问题上，他只有一个立场。在2003年春，当我命令进攻伊拉克的时候，克里说这是个正确的决定。现在他又说这是一场错误的战争。”
Independent analyst Stuart Rothenberg says on that issue, Senator Kerry may have scored some points."People who went in watching this debate with the assumption that the president would come off much better on national security may have seen the candidates pretty evenly matched and might have said, 'Whoa, Senator John Kerry looks pretty resolute, maybe I ought to give him another look'," he said.
独立分析人士罗森伯格认为在这个方面，克里的表现可能已经得到了部分成功。他说：“去看辩论的人有一种想法，认为布什总统可能在国家安全问题方面会表现更好一些。但是，他们也许看出两位候选人在这个问题上势均力敌。也许，他们会说：‘哇，克里参议员看起来相当的有决心，也许我应该再看一看他。
The situation in Iraq has become a major issue in the U.S. presidential campaign. And the Sunday morning news programs also featured the comments of key advisors to Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry.On Meet the Press, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said the situation in Iraq is much more difficult than the Bush administration is willing to admit. She said in order for there to be elections in January, U.N. officials in that country, who are making preparations for the balloting, have to feel secure.
伊拉克局势已成为美国总统竞选中一个主要议题。星期天早上的新闻节目中，还包括民主党提名的总统候选人克里的重要顾问的评论。在“会见媒体”节目中，前国务卿奥尔布赖特说，伊拉克的局势比布什政府愿意承认的要严重的多。她说，为了能在明年1月进行选举，目前在伊拉克为投票做准备的联合国官员必须感到安全才行。
Speaking on the ABC television program, This Week, Mr. Powell said the international community must insist that Iran declare its full nuclear intent. "At what point do we say to the Iranians that this [nuclear issue] is now a matter for the entire United Nations Security Council to deal with?" he asked. "The Iranians are under enormous pressure, and every day or so they say, 'It [the nuclear program] is only peaceful, and we are willing to give assurances.' We [the United States] are the ones who called attention to this problem and said that the international community has to do something about it."
鲍威尔星期天在美国广播公司的“本星期”节目上表示，国际社会必须坚持要求伊朗公布其所有的核计划。鲍威尔说：“我们要等到什么时候才能告诉伊朗民众他们的核问题已经成为联合国安理会需要处理的问题？伊朗现在处于巨大的压力之下，他们每天都说，‘我们的核项目只是用于和平用途，我们保证是这样。’是美国让伊朗问题引起国际社会的关注，国际社会应该解决这个问题。”
Asked if the United States would consider a military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice said President Bush is not ruling out any possible courses of action. But, also speaking on CNN's Late Edition, she stressed that the administration wants to resolve the issue peacefully."We believe that this is something that is best resolved by diplomatic means, and that can be resolved by diplomatic means. The world is united in saying to the Iranians that it is not acceptable for them, under cover of a civilian nuclear program, to engage in activities that might allow them to build a military program," she added.
当被问道美国是否会考虑对伊朗的核设施实行军事打击时，美国国家安全顾问赖斯女士说，布什总统没有排除采取任何行动的可能。但是，赖斯在CNN的午后新闻节目中强调，布什政府希望和平解决这一问题。赖斯说：“我们相信，这件事最好通过外交方式解决，而且也是可以外交解决的。整个世界都在对伊朗说，借着民用核能项目的名义进行武器项目发展活动是不能接受的。”
She took note of U.S. efforts to bring the issue before the United Nations, and work with the world community to get aid into Darfur and bring the violence to an end.
赖斯介绍了美国所作的一些努力，包括向联合国陈情，以及同国际社会合作，向达尔富尔提供援助， 结束暴力。
Fighting terrorism is at the heart of Republican efforts to showcase the president's accomplishments at this week's convention.With most public opinion polls showing President Bush and Senator Kerry in a tight race, Mr. Bush leads on issues of fighting terrorism.
打击恐怖主义是本星期共和党人在全国代表大会上努力展现布什总统政绩的核心。大部份的民意调查显示，布什总统和克里参议员竞争激烈，不分上下，但是在反恐议题上布什领先。
The new poll shows both men about even on economic issues. One month ago, Senator Kerry had a double-digit lead over the president when asked who voters trust to do a better job on the economy.
新的民意调查显示，两人在经济议题上得到的民意支持度都差不多。而一个月前，当选民被问到谁会把经济处理得更好时，克里参议员比布什总统多出百分之十以上的支持率。
The U.S. administration is warning Iran against pursuing a nuclear weapons program, which it calls a threat to international security. But Washington and its European allies differ on how best to pressure Iran to stop. U.S. officials say Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapons program and must be stopped. "We cannot let Iran, a leading sponsor of international terrorism, acquire nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them to Europe, most of central Asia and the Middle East, or beyond," said John Bolton, the top State Department official on arms control and security issues. "Without serious, concerted, immediate intervention by the international community, Iran will be well on the road to doing so."
美国政府警告伊朗不要继续发展核武器，认为这对国际安全造成了威胁。然而，华盛顿和欧盟在如何最好的给伊朗施压方面存在分歧。美国官员说，伊朗必须停止发展核武器。博尔顿是美国国务院负责武器控制和安全问题的最高官员。博尔顿说：“我们不能让伊朗这样一个支持国际恐怖主义的主要国家获得核武器， 以及把这些武器发射到欧洲、中亚和中东大部份地区，或者更远地方的运载工具。国际社会如果不立即采取认真的协调行动及时进行干预，伊朗就会沿着这条路继续走下去。”
Against the backdrop of the war on terrorism, concerns over Iran's secrecy about its nuclear program have accelerated.In June, the U.N.'s nuclear monitoring agency issued a statement deploring Iran's shortcomings in its cooperation with IAEA inspections. The U.S. administration argues that Iran has for too long misled the IAEA about its nuclear program and needs tougher action that only the United Nations Security Council could deliver. Iran expert Ray Takeyh of the Council on Foreign Relations warns that achieving a consensus among the permanent members of the Security Council for sanctions would be difficult. "The sanction that would count is an oil embargo," he said. "There's no chance the security council is going to invoke that at a time when China is becoming ever more dependent on Middle East energy supply."
在现在反恐怖的大环境下，对伊朗秘密发展核武器的忧虑就迅速增加了。6月份，联合国核武器监督机构发表了一份申明，对伊朗没有和国际原子能机构很好合作表示遗憾。美国政府说，有关核武器计划问题，伊朗长期误导国际核能源机构。现在需要对其采取更加严厉的行动，而这只有联合国安理会才能做到。外交关系研究会的伊朗专家塔基说，要想让安理会常任理事国在制裁伊朗的问题上达成共识会很困难。塔基说：“有效的制裁是石油禁运。但是在中国对中东能源的依赖越来越大的情况下，安理会是不可能作出这种制裁的。”
But the State Department does much more than issue visas, and Thursday's congressional hearing focused on the larger subject of American diplomacy and the war on terrorism. "It is abundantly clear that the credibility and reputation of the United States is at an all-time low internationally and, particularly in the Muslim world," said Democratic New Jersey Representative Bob Menendez. "To lead in the fight against terrorism, we must regain our credibility and our reputation. To win that fight, we must also win a tough battle for the hearts and minds of the Muslim world."
然而国务院的工作决不是仅仅发放签证。国会星期四的听证会还把注意力集中在更大的方面---美国的外交政策以及反恐战争。来自新泽西州的民主党众议员梅嫩德斯说：“非常明显：在国际上，特别是穆斯林世界，美国的信誉和声望已经下降到了有史以来的最低点。要想领导反恐战争，我们必须重新建立起我们的信誉。要想赢得这场战斗，我们必须首先赢得穆斯林世界的‘人心’。”
Foreign policy issues, including the situation in Iraq, figured prominently in speeches during the third day of the Democratic national convention in Boston.
在波士顿举行的民主党全国代表大会的第三天里，外交政策问题，包括伊拉克的局势问题，成为代表们讲话的重要内容。
Political conventions have for decades provided politicians and others an opportunity to voice their feelings about a range of issues, domestic and foreign. However, foreign policy plays a particularly prominent role this year, because national security has become unusually important in American politics in the aftermath of the 2001 terrorist attacks.

From the continuing military and security struggles in Iraq, to the situation in Sudan, many have tried to highlight issues that otherwise might be submerged amid talk about the economy, health care, education and other things.
从伊拉克持续进行的军事与安全方面的斗争，到苏丹的形势，许多代表都在努力强调这些问题，不然的话这些话题就会在谈及经济、医疗保险和教育等问题时被忽略了。
Congressman Joe Hoeffel, who is running for a key Senate seat in the [Eastern] state of Pennsylvania, listed bloodshed and human rights violations in Sudan among issues he says a Kerry administration can be expected to aggressively deal with: "The fierce urgency of now, demands that we respond to the genocide, rape and murder in the Sudan," he said.

Secretary of State Colin Powell says it is increasingly likely that the issue of Iran's nuclear program will have to be referred to the U.N. Security Council for possible sanctions.
