As Ukraine braces¹ for a possible attack from Russia, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy of Ukraine said on Saturday he wanted to convene² a meeting of world powers to secure new security guarantees for his country as the current global system is no longer fit for the purpose.

在乌克兰准备应对俄罗斯可能发动的袭击之际，乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽伦斯基周六表示，他希望召开一次世界大国会议，以确保乌克兰得到新的安全保障，因为目前的全球安全体系已不再适合这一计划。

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Zelenskiy also called on NATO members to be honest about whether they wanted Ukraine to join the alliance or not.

在慕尼黑安全会议上，泽伦斯基还呼吁北约成员国坦言他们是否希望乌克兰加入北约。

The 44-year-old leader called on the world to learn what he called the, quote, "terrible lessons from history" and chided the international community for what he said was the appeasement³ of Russia.

这位44岁的领导人呼吁世界吸取他所说的“可怕的历史教训”，并谴责国际社会对俄罗斯的安抚姑息。

He said, quote, "The rules that the world agreed on decades ago no longer work. This is a cough syrup⁴ when you need a coronavirus vaccine⁵."

他说，“几十年前世界达成的规则不再有效。这就相当于当你需要冠状病毒疫苗时，只得到一瓶止咳糖浆。”

Zelenskiy said if the West was so sure that Russia was about to attack, it should impose sanctions on Moscow now, rather than threatening to impose them after an attack.

泽伦斯基说，如果西方如此确定俄罗斯即将发动攻击，它应该现在就对莫斯科实施制裁，而不是威胁要在袭击后实施制裁。

He said sanctions would be of no use once bombs start falling on Ukraine.

他表示，一旦炸弹开始坠落在乌克兰，制裁将毫无用处。

U.S. Defense⁶ Secretary Lloyd Austin said the more than 150,000 Russian troops that have amassed⁷ at Ukraine's border, quote, "are now poised⁸ to strike."

美国国防部长劳埃德·奥斯汀表示，在乌克兰边境集结的超过15万名俄罗斯士兵“现在准备发动袭击”。

He spoke⁹ with reporters in Lithuania, where the Lithuanian president has called for an increased U.S. troop presence.

他在立陶宛接受记者采访时说，立陶宛总统呼吁美国增加在立陶宛的驻军。

At the annual Munich Security Conference Saturday, U.S. Vice¹⁰ President Kamala Harris warned that Russia's plan was already unfolding.

在周六举行的年度慕尼黑安全会议上，美国副总统卡马拉哈里斯警告说，俄罗斯的计划已经展开。

She warned that Russia would mask its aggression¹¹ as she called it by pleading "ignorance and innocence¹²."

她警告说，俄罗斯将以“无知和无辜”为由来掩盖其侵略行为。

She repeated earlier U.S. assertions that Russia plans to create a false pretext¹³ for invasion.

她重申了美国早些时候的断言，即俄罗斯计划为入侵制造虚假借口。
