The American Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has said the United States has a solemn duty to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Addressing an audience in Jerusalem, he said the US recognized Irael's right to defend itself and that the two countries should employ any and all measures to prevent Iran from achieving its aims.
美国共和党总统候选人米特·罗姆尼说,美国负有阻止伊朗研制核武器的严肃责任。罗姆尼在耶路撒冷对听众发表讲话,说美国认可以色列捍卫自我的权利,两国应该采取一切措施来阻止伊朗实现这个目的。
"When Iran's leaders deny the Holocaust, or speak of wiping this nation off the map, only the naive – or worse – will dismiss it as an excess of rhetoric. Make no mistake: the ayatollahs in Tehran are testing our moral defenses. They want to know who will object, and who will look the other way. My message to the people of Israel and the leaders of Iran is one and the same: we will not look away.”
“当伊朗的领导人否认大屠杀,或讲到要将这个国家从地图上消灭掉,只有幼稚的人或无知的人才将之视为花言巧语。别再犯错了,德黑兰的阿亚图拉在考验我们的道德防线。他们想知道谁会反对,谁会支持。我要向以色列人们和伊朗领导人表达的是一样的:我们不会转移视线的。”
