The chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, said Wednesday the Taliban appear to have the "strategic momentum" in their sweeping offensives across Afghanistan but their victory is far from assured.

美国参谋长联席会议主席马克·米利将军星期三说,塔利班似乎有在阿富汗各地发动全面进攻的“战略势头”,但是他们的胜利还远不能保证。

Speaking at the Pentagon, Milley said the Taliban fighters have made gains in recent weeks but that Afghan security forces are consolidating their gains in urban areas.

米利在五角大楼发表讲话时说,塔利班武装分子最近几个星期取得了进展,而阿富汗安全部队正在巩固他们在城市地区取得的进展。

"Momentum appears to be, strategic momentum appears to be sort of with the Taliban.

“战略上的势头似乎与塔利班有关。

The Afghan security forces are consolidating their forces.

阿富汗安全部队正在整合他们的部队。

So part of this is they're giving up district centers in order to consolidate their forces because they're taking an approach to protect the population."

他们将放弃地区中心以整合军队力量,因为他们打算采取措施保护人民。”

The militants now control about half Afghanistan's roughly 400 districts but none of the country's densely populated main cities.

武装分子现在控制着阿富汗大约400个地区的一半左右,但没有一个是该国人口稠密的主要城市。

The Taliban are surging across Afghanistan, snapping up territory, seizing border crossings and encircling cities with the withdrawal of U.S.-led foreign troops all but complete.

随着以美国为首的外国军队几乎全部撤离,塔利班正在阿富汗各地涌动,抢占领土,夺取边境口岸,包围城市。

The United States and Germany have reached a deal that will allow the completion of a controversial Russian pipeline to Europe without the imposition of further U.S. sanctions.

美国和德国达成一项协议,允许在美国不施加进一步制裁的情况下,完成一条颇有争议的俄罗斯通往欧洲的管道。

The two governments announced the agreement in a joint statement Wednesday and said it was immediately assailed by members of Congress opposed to the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

两国政府星期三在一份联合声明中宣布了这项协议,并提到,这项协议立即遭到了反对北溪2号天然气管道的国会议员的抨击。

The deal is intended to address U.S. and eastern and central European concerns about Russia using the pipeline as a political weapon.

该协议旨在解决美国以及东欧和中欧国家对俄罗斯将管道作为政治武器的担忧。

Both sides committed to imposing sanctions on Russia, including potentially shutting down the pipeline if Moscow does that.

双方都承诺对俄罗斯实施制裁,包括可能会关闭管道,如果莫斯科这么做了。
