America has said military strikes on Islamic State extremists marked?the?beginning of a sustainable and persistent1 campaign against the Islamic State Jihadists. Last night, five Arab nations were involved with the United States in waves of attacks on IS positions in Syria. President Obama said the Islamic militants3 would be denied a safe haven4 anywhere. Aleem Maqbool?reports from Washington.
美国方面表示关于对伊斯兰极端恐怖组织的打击标志着对伊斯兰圣战组织长期持续持久战的开始。昨晚，五个阿拉伯国家，包括美国开始了对叙利亚IS基地组织展开大规模进攻。奥巴马总统表示伊斯兰武装分子将会被打击到天涯海角。Aleem Maqbool从华盛顿发回报道。
“The Pentagon described the airstrikes in Syria as very successful, saying they targeted militant2 training centers, commander control facilities and storage hubs. Unverified reports from a Syrian rights group says at least 120 militants were killed both from Islamic State and an al-Qaeda affiliate5, but also said there’ve been some civilian6 death. President Obama has been keen to stress it’s not America’s fight alone. And Arab States actively7 carried out some of the airstrikes in Syria. When asked how long this campaign could last, one American official said we should be thinking in terms of years.”?
五角大楼方面称此次叙利亚行动非常成功，称集中了伊斯兰武装分子训练中心，指挥控制设施和仓储中心。从叙利亚人权组织发回的不确定报道称此次袭击造成至少120名伊斯兰武装分子和基地组织成员死亡，但是还成同时造成了不少居民的死亡。奥巴马曾经强调过这不是美国孤军奋战，阿拉伯国家也积极参与到了此次在叙利亚的行动。当问及到行动将持续多长时间时，一名美国官员称此次行动可能持续数年。

The UN is preparing for all of those people to flee into Turkey. Amid widespread reports of serious violations9, including the deliberate killing10 of women and children, no one wants to risk waiting for Islamic State to arrive. Syria’s refugees already number more than 3 million. Now that could rise by another half million.”

But as David Cameron stroke through the Bloomberg building in New York, talking to the company’s founder25, he provided the glimpse of the relief felt by the Prime Minister and the Palace when Scotland voted no. Recalling that he had called the Queen to say “It’s all right”, Mr. Cameron then seemed to say she purred down the line. I have never heard someone so happy. The audio was caught on a TV microphone as Cameron followed the pair. Downing Street said it would not be commenting on the suggestion of purring.” Buckingham Palace has made it clear that the Queen would not comment on the question of Scottish independence.
