State Department officials in Washington say the Syrian Opposition5 Coalition6 has been given approval to open a formal diplomatic mission. Until now, the Syrian opposition had only an informal liaison7 office in the United States. Barbara Plett Usher8 is in Washington.
美国国务院官员称叙利亚反对派联盟已获准开启正式外交使团，到目前为止，叙利亚反对派在美国只有非正式的联络办公室。芭芭拉·皮莱特·亚瑟在华盛顿报道。
The US decision doesn't not grant the coalition recognition as Syria's government, nor allow it to take over the Syrian embassy. Rather, officials here described the move as another step towards formalizing America's relationship with the moderate opposition. This will facilitate banking9 and security services as well as help opposition promote its image in the US and it's outreach to the Syrian diaspora. The State Department also announced an extra $27m in aid. So far, the US has provided non-lethal assistance, although there is a debate in the administration about moving to more military support.
美国的决定并没有将该联盟视为叙利亚政府，也没有允许该机构取代叙利亚使馆。华盛顿官员称此举是将美国与该温和反对派关系正规化的另一步。这将有利于银行和安全服务，以及帮助反对派改善其在美国的形象，帮助其向叙利亚侨民提供帮助。国务院还宣布提供另外2700万美元的援助，到目前为止，美国提供了非致命援助，尽管政府在提供更多军事援助方面存在分歧。

Richard Galpin is in the region's main city Donetsk.
乌克兰政府军和亲俄罗斯军队在东部城市斯拉维扬斯克发生激战，4名乌克兰士兵丧生，一架武装直升机被击落。据悉在该地区几个城镇占领政府大楼的叛军们已撤回斯拉维扬斯克市中心。理查德·加尔潘在该地区的顿涅茨克报道。
This fighting took place, effectively in the outskirts12 of the city. The government troops may have moved but a little bit, further towards the center, but they are not there yet and obviously that's critical, because the rebels remaining in control they have hundreds if not one or two thousand fighters there, according to estimates I've seen, and may control all remain government buildings there. So, we still don't know what the strategy of the Ukrainian military is, but if they go toward the center. It would be a very big and bloody13 battle.
这场战斗发生在该市的郊区，政府军可能已经转移，但向市中心挺进了一些，但还没抵达市中心，显然这是很关键的，因为叛军仍在控制那里，且在当地部署有起码数百名武装分子，我都是我根据所见所闻估计的，叛军可能还在控制那里的政府大楼。所以我们仍不清楚乌克兰军队目前的战略，但如果他们向市中心挺进，那将是一场非常大规模的血腥战斗。
