　　俄罗斯国防部副部长日前表示，该国正在考虑计划恢复在越南和古巴的军事驻地。

　　Nikolai Pankov announced a review of the decision to close the two bases more than a decade ago.

　　尼古拉·潘科夫部长宣布，俄罗斯正在回顾10多年前关闭古巴、越南军事基地的决定。

　　The two served as pivots¹ of Soviet² military power during the Cold War.

　　冷战时期，这两处军事基地是苏联军事力量的枢纽。

　　It comes amid growing tensions between the US and Russia, and as Russia's parliament approved a longer term military presence at a Syrian airbase.

　　俄罗斯方面之所以有如此做法，是因为近期美俄两国日益紧张的局势，而且俄罗斯议会也批准了一项决议，允许俄罗斯军队长期驻扎在叙利亚的一处空军基地。

　　Mr Pankov told the Russian parliament last Friday they were "dealing³ with the issue" of the two bases, Russian news agencies reported.

　　据俄罗斯新闻社报道，潘科夫上周五的时候向俄罗斯议会报告称，他们正在“处理两个基地的事务”。

　　俄罗斯考虑在越南和古巴重设军事基地

　　It comes two years after Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu first revealed they were looking into bases in both Vietnam and Cuba, as well as countries including Singapore and Nicaragua, according to The Diplomat⁴.

　　据《外交学者》报道，两年前俄罗斯国防部长谢尔盖·绍伊古首先透露，他们正在调查位于古巴和越南的军事基地，以及包括新加坡和尼加拉瓜等国家。

　　Russia lowered its flag at the Lourdes signals intelligence base in Cuba and the deepwater Cam Rahn naval⁵ base in Vietnam as part of a drawing down of Russia's military presence around the world after the demise⁶ of the Soviet Union.

　　在苏联解体后，作为全球军事收缩行动的一部分，俄罗斯关闭了位于古巴的洛德丝信号情报基地以及位于越南的金兰深水海军基地，

　　During the same session, Russia's parliament voted to approve an "indefinite" deployment⁷ of forces in Syria at the Hmeimim airbase.

　　在上周五的会议上，俄罗斯议会投票批准了一项决议，允许俄罗斯军队在叙利亚Hmeimim空军基地“无限期”驻军。

　　The facility had been supporting Russian troops since August 2015 on a temporary basis, but that vote could lead to a permanent base.

　　从2015年8月以来，该空军基地一直作为临时基地供俄军驻扎，但是这次表决可能会使得其变成俄罗斯军队的永久军事基地。
