美国有线新闻 CNN 中东稳定新问题（在线收听）

We’re starting in the Middle East today where there’s been a new exchange of fire between old enemies. We’ve told you how other countries are involved in Syria’s civil war. Iran is one of them. It supports Syria’s government in its fight to keep control.

我们今天从中东开始，在那里，曾经的旧敌之间发生了新的交火。我们曾经讲述过其他国家是如何卷入叙利亚内战的。伊朗就是其中之一。它支持叙利亚政府控制局势。

This concerns Israel because Iran is an enemy of Israel and Syria is located on Israel’s northeast border. Israel has been blamed for a series of military strikes that have targeted Iranian positions inside Syria. Israel does not want Iran’s military to establish a base in neighboring Syria.

这与以色列有关，因为伊朗是以色列的敌人，而叙利亚则位于以色列的东北边境。以色列被指责发动了一系列针对伊朗在叙利亚境内据点的军事打击。而以色列不希望伊朗军方在邻国叙利亚建立基地。

Late Wednesday night, rockets flew to the sky. Israel said there were more than 20 of them, that they’ve been launched by Iranian forces inside Syria and that they targeted Israel, specifically an Israel controlled area called the Golan Heights. It’s a rocky plateau between Israel, Lebanon and Syria.

星期三晚上，火箭冲向天空。以色列说，他们中有20多人被伊朗军队在叙利亚境内发射，他们袭击了以色列，特别是以色列控制的戈兰高地。这是以色列、黎巴嫩和叙利亚之间的一个岩石高原。

This would be the first time that Iran had directly targeted Israel troops with rockets and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that crossed a red line. Israel responded by shooting missiles at Iranian forces in Syria. By Thursday afternoon, Israel said it had destroyed almost all of Iran’s military capabilities in Syria.

这将是伊朗第一次直接用火箭袭击以色列军队，以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡(Benjamin Netanyahu)表示，此举越过了红线。以色列回应向叙利亚境内的伊朗部队发射导弹。截至周四下午，以色列称已经摧毁了伊朗在叙利亚的几乎所有军事能力。

When we produced this show, Iran’s leaders had not yet responded to any of this. There are still some questions about this exchange, but it appears to be the most direct confrontation so far between Israel and Iran.

当我们制作节目时，伊朗领导人还没有对此做出任何回应。关于这次交火还有一些问题，但这似乎是迄今为止以色列和伊朗之间最直接的对抗。

It’s being closely watched around the world because this could affect regional stability throughout the Middle East.

世界都在密切关注此事件，因为这可能影响整个中东地区的地区稳定。
