On the eve of a major opposition rally, King of Abdullah of Jordan has dissolved parliament and called early elections. Friday's protests have been called by the main opposition party, the Islamic Action Front. Sebastian Usher reports.

就在反对派一场大型集会举行前夕，约旦国王阿卜杜拉解散议会，要求提前进行选举。周五的抗议时在主要反对派伊斯兰行动阵线党的号召下举行的。Sebastian Usher报道。

Tens of thousands of protesters are expected to rally in the capital Amman urging faster reform. A counter-demonstration by supporters of King Abdullah has been cancelled for fear it would provoke clashes. The King has prided himself on the fact which Jordan had avoided the unrest unleashed elsewhere in the Middle East by the Arab s spring, but economic problems are fueling calls for change. The king has dissolved the parliaments and sacked prime ministers before to show he's responsive to public dissatisfaction, but it was exactly the wielding of that kind of power for the opposition beliefs should be reformed.

将有数万抗议者聚集首都安曼要求加快改革，国王阿卜杜拉的支持者本来要举行反游行，但由于担心会产生冲突，现已被取消。中东许多国家都在阿拉伯之春中发生动乱，而约旦却避免了乱局发生，为此国王很是自豪，但约旦的经济问题也迫使该国进行改革。国王已解散议会，解雇总理，以示他对公众不满的反应，但反对派认为，正是需要改革这种运用权力的方式。
