联合国安理会将就伊朗导弹试射召开会议

 　　The United Nations Security Council is to hold urgent talks Tuesday in response to a ballistic missile test carried out by Iran.

　　联合国安理会将于星期二举行紧急会谈，对伊朗进行的弹道导弹试验作出反应。

　　The United States requested the meeting following Sunday's test launch of a medium-range missile. The exact type of missile and its capabilities¹ were not clear.

　　伊朗星期日试射一枚中程导弹后，美国要求举行会议。目前这枚导弹的确切类型及其射程尚不清楚。

　　A 2015 Security Council resolution prohibits Iran from any activities related to ballistic missiles designed to carry nuclear warheads.

　　安理会2015年通过一项决议，禁止伊朗从事与用于携带核弹头的弹道导弹有关的任何活动。

　　The eight-year ban followed the adoption² of an agreement Iran reached with six world powers to limit its nuclear program in return for sanctions relief.

　　这一为期八年的禁令是在伊朗与六个世界大国达成协议后实施的，该协议以限制伊朗核项目来换取减免对其的制裁。

　　The deal brokered³ with the U.S., Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany came in response to allegations Iran was working to develop nuclear weapons, which Iran has repeatedly rejected.

　　该协议是伊朗与美、英、法、俄、中、德这六大国签订的，以回应对伊朗正在努力发展核武器的指控，不过伊朗一再否认这一指控。

　　U.S. President Donald Trump⁴ has been a sharp critic of the Iranian nuclear deal, saying the world powers gave up too much in exchange for too little. In a phone call this week with Saudi King Salman, Trump promised to "rigorously" enforce the agreement.

　　美国总统川普对伊朗核协议一直持严厉批评的态度，他说世界大国放弃了太多，换取的却太少。川普本周与沙特国王萨尔曼通电话时，承诺要“严格”执行协议条款。

　　Senator Bob Corker, another opponent of the deal, said Monday Iran will no longer "be given a pass for its repeated ballistic missile violations⁵."

　　另一位反对伊朗核协议的美国参议员鲍勃·科克尔周一表示，伊朗一再违规的弹道导弹试验不会再得到放行了。

　　"I look forward to working with my colleagues and the administration to hold Iran accountable for this and other violations while ensuring radical⁶ enforcement of existing restrictions⁷ on its nuclear program," he said in a statement.

　　科克尔在一份声明中说，“我期待着与我的同僚和政府合作，要伊朗对这次和其他违规行为负责，同时确保彻底执行对其核计划的现有规定。”
