福克兰群岛立法议会已对阿根廷重启的主权运动作出回应，其主席杰克·福特在周四的会议上表示，本周的主张“毫无新意”。福特称，尽管面临来自布宜诺斯艾利斯的新外交压力，该机构依然保持冷静和坚定。
The Falkland Islands Legislative Assembly has responded to a renewed sovereignty campaign from Argentina, with its chair, Jack Ford, telling a sitting of the body on Thursday that the week's claims contained 'nothing new.' Ford said the institution remained calm and steadfast despite the fresh diplomatic pressure from Buenos Aires.
近几周，阿根廷加大了对有争议的南大西洋群岛的言辞攻势，重燃了一场自1982年两国战争以来酝酿数十年的主权争端。福克兰官员一贯主张，根据国际法，该群岛约3500名居民有权决定自己的政治地位。
Argentina has stepped up its rhetoric over the disputed South Atlantic archipelago in recent weeks, reviving a decades-old sovereignty dispute that has simmered since the 1982 war between the two countries. Falkland officials have consistently argued that the islands' roughly 3,500 residents have the right under international law to determine their own political status.
这一交锋增加了斯坦利与布宜诺斯艾利斯近期一系列摩擦点，正值阿根廷官员本月在纽约联合国大会上直接与外国同行提出该问题之际。两国政府尚未宣布举行新的谈判。
The exchange adds to a string of recent flashpoints between Stanley and Buenos Aires, coming as Argentine officials raised the issue directly with foreign counterparts at the United Nations General Assembly in New York this month. No new negotiations between the two governments have been announced.
