弗朗索瓦·皮卡尔欣然欢迎史汀森中心杰出研究员芭芭拉·斯拉文。
François Picard is pleased to welcome Barbara Slavin, Distinguished Fellow at the Stimson Center.
她将美伊冲突描述为军事升级、外交含糊和政治calculations交织而成的危险局面。
She describes the US-Iran conflict as a dangerous combination of military escalation, diplomatic ambiguity and political calculation.
斯拉文认为，真正意义上的外交行动依然缺席：华盛顿和德黑兰近期经卡塔尔斡旋进行的间接接触过于有限，也过于脆弱，无法带来任何实质性突破。
Slavin sees an absence of true diplomacy: The recent indirect contacts between Washington and Tehran, mediated by Qatar, has been too limited and too fragile to produce any serious breakthrough.
对她而言，这无异于“歌舞伎式外交”：双方只是半推半就地参与，同时又摆出反对任何妥协姿态的立场。
For her, this amounts to “kabuki diplomacy”: they half engage while positioning themselves against any appearance of compromise.
