约旦国王阿卜杜拉二世表示，上个月南部城市卡拉克发生的针对教堂的致命袭击不会动摇王国根基。
Jordan’s King Abdullah II says the kingdom would not be shaken by a deadly attack on a church in the southern city of Karak last month.
阿卜杜拉周一在首都安曼开启议会新一届会议时说，“恐怖主义的奸诈之手”已伸向约旦，“以考验我国的韧性和我民众的决心”。
Opening a new session of parliament in the capital, Amman, on Monday, Abdullah said “the treacherous hand of terrorism” had reached out “to test the resilience of our state and the resolve of our people”.
他说袭击者“非我族类”，“他们在我们中间没有立足之地，今天没有，明天也没有”。大约两周前发生的袭击造成9人死亡、数十人受伤。国王请议员们为遇难者默哀一分钟，遇难者亲属出席了会议。
“They are not of us,” he said of the attackers. “There is no place for them among us, not today and not tomorrow.”The attack about two weeks ago killed nine people and wounded dozens. The king asked lawmakers to stand for a minute of silence for the victims, whose relatives attended the session.
半岛电视台记者艾哈迈德·贾拉尔从安曼报道称，阿卜杜拉明确表示，约旦将依靠国家团结和公众意识，在军队和安全部门的支持下，以“铁腕”手段打击“恐怖主义和极端主义”。
Al Jazeera’s Ahmed Jarrar, reporting from Amman, said Abdullah made clear that Jordan would confront “terrorism and extremism” by relying first on national unity and public awareness, backed by the army and security services, which would strike “with an iron fist”.
阿卜杜拉还谈及地区局势紧张，警告称以色列扩张主义是中东面临的最大威胁。
Abdullah also addressed regional tensions, warning that Israeli expansionism is the greatest threat to the Middle East.
他说：“以色列的扩张野心是该地区未来及其安全面临的最大威胁。”并补充道：“加沙的人道主义灾难持续不断，针对约旦河西岸和耶路撒冷的连番袭击仍在继续。”贾拉尔称，国王还承诺保护约旦稀缺的水资源。
“Israeli expansionist ambitions are the greatest threat to the future of the region and its security,” he said, adding: “The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza continues, and successive assaults persist in the West Bank and Jerusalem.”The king also pledged to protect Jordan’s scarce water supplies, Jarrar said.
他说：“我们绝不允许约旦人的渴望被任何一方劫持为人质。”贾拉尔表示，这反映了对以色列项目威胁王国水安全的担忧。
“We will not allow the thirst of Jordanians to be held hostage by any party,” he said. Jarrar said this reflected concerns that Israeli projects threaten the kingdom’s water security.
作为美国的亲密盟友，约旦于1994年与以色列签署和平条约，其数百万公民为巴勒斯坦裔。
Jordan, a close United States ally, signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1994, and millions of its citizens are of Palestinian origin.
贾拉尔称，国王的第三个信息是针对议员的，他强调国家是权力的源泉，只要服务于国家利益，议会辩论就是健康的。
Jarrar said the king’s third message was directed at lawmakers as he stressed that the nation is the source of authority and debate in parliament is healthy as long as it serves the national interest.
“只要以约旦利益为目标，你们的意见分歧就是一种力量，”阿卜杜拉说，并敦促政府改善民生。
“Your differences of opinion are a strength so long as Jordan’s interest is the goal,” Abdullah said, urging the government to improve living conditions.
他还警告官员们不要滥用职权。“法律不认名字、不认职位、不认影响力，”他说。
He also warned officials against abusing their positions. “The law knows no name, no position and no influence,” he said.
