VOA常速英语2021--俄罗斯外长表示各国正与塔利班新政府接触（在线收听）

Russia's foreign minister said Saturday the United States, China, Russia and Pakistan are working together to ensure that Afghanistan's new Taliban rulers keep their promises, especially to form a genuinely representative government and prevent the spread of extremist groups.

俄罗斯外长星期六说，美国、中国、俄罗斯和巴基斯坦正在共同努力，确保阿富汗的塔利班新统治者遵守他们的承诺，特别是组建一个真正具有代表性的政府，并防止极端组织的蔓延。

Sergei Lavrov said representatives from Russia, China and Pakistan had traveled to Qatar and then to Afghanistan's capital, Kabul, to engage both the Taliban and former Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Abdullah Abdullah, who headed the ousted government's negotiating council with the Taliban.

拉夫罗夫说，来自俄罗斯、中国和巴基斯坦的代表已先后前往卡塔尔和阿富汗首都喀布尔，与塔利班以及阿富汗前总统卡尔扎伊和阿卜杜拉进行接触，阿卜杜拉是被推翻的政府与塔利班谈判委员会的负责人。

Lavrov said the interim government announced by the Taliban does not reflect "the whole gamut of Afghan society - ethno-religious and political forces - so we are engaging in contacts. They are ongoing."

拉夫罗夫说，塔利班宣布成立的临时政府并没有考虑到“阿富汗社会的所有方面——民族宗教和政治力量——因此我们正在进行接触。接触正在进行中。”
