参议员雪莱·摩尔·卡皮托（共和党-西弗吉尼亚州）周一表示，随着伊朗战争进入第七个月，汽油价格飙升并加剧了美国人对生活成本的担忧，特朗普总统应结束这场战争。
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) on Monday said President Trump should end the Iran war as the conflict hit its seven-month mark, during which gas prices have soared and contributed to Americans’ concerns over the cost of living.
卡皮托是在接受NewsNation（The Hill的广播合作伙伴）节目《NewsNation Live》主持人康奈尔·麦克谢恩采访时发表上述言论的。麦克谢恩询问卡皮托关于共和党参议院候选人在该冲突问题上与特朗普划清界限或分道扬镳的情况，该冲突导致共和党议员的支持率动摇。
Capito made the remarks during an interview with “NewsNation Live” host Connell McShane on NewsNation, The Hill’s broadcast partner. McShane asked Capitol about Republican Senate candidates drawing contrast or splitting with Trump on the conflict, which has seen support from GOP lawmakers falter.
“我认为这是竞选的自然策略，”摩尔说。“显然，战争和总统——当他最初宣布时，说这将是短期的，美国人民也这么预期。我认为这让美国人民有点失望，因为我们还没看到结束，尤其是当他们看到汽油价格上涨时。”
“I think that’s a natural strategy for a campaign,” Moore said. “I think, obviously, the war and the president –– immediately, when he came out with it, said it would be short-term, the American people expected that. I think that’s been a bit of a disappointment to the American people, that we aren’t at the end, especially when they see gas prices going up.”
“那么，我会告诉总统‘现在就结束战争吗？’会的，我会，”她继续说道。“这也是我们的候选人正在做的。我认为这是合乎逻辑的结论。”麦克谢恩追问摩尔是否认为特朗普应该结束这场冲突。
“So, would I tell the president, ‘End the war now?’ Yes, I would,” she continued. “And that’s what our candidates are doing. I think that would be a logical conclusion.” McShane pressed Moore on whether she thinks Trump should bring the conflict to an end.
“我认为他应该结束它，是的，”她回答。“现在海峡已经开放，我认为这是朝着正确方向发展。你可以看到我们对他们及其经济施加的经济压力开始产生预期效果。”
“I think he should bring it to a close, yes,” she replied. “And now that the straits are open, I think that’s moved in the right direction. You can see the economic pressure that we’ve been putting on them and on their economics is starting to have the desired effect.”
摩尔表示，她“读到的新闻”是霍尔木兹海峡“比以前更开放，这是应伊朗的要求。”西弗吉尼亚州媒体MetroNews报道，摩尔本月初告诉记者，她不会投票宣战伊朗或限制特朗普的军事权力。
Moore said the “news I’m reading” was that the Strait of Hormuz was “more open than [it] had been, and that’s at the behest of Iran.” Moore told reporters earlier this month that she would not vote to declare war on Iran or limit Trump’s military authority, West Virginia-based outlet MetroNews reported.
“而且这变得非常昂贵，不仅是在时间上，也是在财力上，你知道，就我个人而言，我认为西弗吉尼亚人不仅看着他们的柴油价格和汽油价格希望它们下降，也希望这一切结束，”她据该媒体报道对记者说。
“And it’s becoming very costly, and not just in time, but in treasure, and you know personally, I think West Virginians not only when they look at their diesel prices and gas prices are ready for it to come down, are ready for it to end,” she told reporters, according to the outlet.
摩尔此前曾在7月告诉NewsNation的Blake Burman，美国人感到对这场冲突的“厌倦感渐生”，并补充说，她的选民担心随着冲突拖延，其长期影响。
Moore previously told NewsNation’s Blake Burman in July that Americans felt the “weariness creep in” over the conflict, adding that her constituents were concerned about the conflict’s extended effect as it stretches on.
自2月28日冲突爆发以来，伊朗政府实际上已关闭了该海峡。全球约20%的石油通过该航线出口。这一断供导致汽油价格飙升，根据AAA的数据，美国周一的全国平均汽油价格达到4.48美元。
Iran’s government has effectively closed the strait since the conflict began on Feb. 28. Roughly 20 percent of the world’s oil is exported through the route. The cutoff has caused gas prices to skyrocket, with the national average for gas in the U.S. reaching $4.48 on Monday, according to AAA.
伊朗谈判代表上周向美国提出为期七天的和平提议，该提议将重新开放海峡并启动停火。特朗普周六拒绝了该提议，并于次日表示，他预计美国官员将于本周与伊朗对应官员进一步谈判。
Iranian negotiators issued a seven-day peace offer to the U.S. last week that would reopen the strait and initiate a ceasefire. Trump rejected the proposal on Saturday, and said the next day that he expects U.S. officials to negotiate further with their Iranian counterparts this week.
