美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周一淡化了中期选举后重新对伊朗实施军事打击的可能性，称外交努力正在取得进展。
US President Donald Trump on Monday downplayed the possibility of renewed military strikes against Iran after Tuesday's midterm elections, saying diplomatic efforts were progressing.
当一名记者在华盛顿的一次竞选活动后询问他是否正考虑在选举后再次打击伊朗时，特朗普回答：“不。”
"No," Trump responded when asked by a reporter after a campaign event in Washington whether he was considering striking Iran again following the elections.
在该活动上发言时，特朗普坚称德黑兰永远不会获得核武器，声称伊朗官员已经认清了这一立场。
Speaking at the event, Trump insisted that Tehran would never obtain nuclear weapons, claiming that Iranian officials already recognized that position.
他敦促选民在“走进投票站”时，牢记其政府为防止伊朗获得核武器所做的努力。特朗普辩称，防止德黑兰获得核能力至关重要，并警告称，否则该国“永远无法以同样的方式运作”。
He urged voters to keep his administration's efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons in mind "when they go into the voting booth." Trump argued that preventing Tehran from acquiring nuclear capabilities was vital, warning that the country "could never function in the same way" otherwise.
“我们一年前用那些漂亮的B-2轰炸机阻止了这一点，它们击中了每一个目标，只是在所有东西上面堆了数十万吨的岩石，”特朗普说。
"We stopped that a year ago with those beautiful B-2 bombers, which hit every single mark and just put hundreds of tons of rock on top of everything," Trump said.
总统还暗示外交安排“正在非常顺利地达成”，将达成协议的预期与能源价格下跌联系在一起。“这就是我猜油价之所以暴跌的原因，”他说。
The president also suggested that diplomatic arrangements were "coming together very nicely," linking expectations of an agreement to falling energy prices. "That's why I guess the oil prices drop so precipitously," he said.
外交努力继续 在接受Axios的另一采访中，特朗普表示，他不急于决定是否恢复对伊朗的直接军事打击。“无论哪种方式，我们都会采取行动，但不着急，”他说。特朗普声称，美国的压力已严重削弱伊朗经济。
Diplomatic efforts continue In a separate interview with Axios, Trump said he was in no rush to decide whether to resume direct military strikes against Iran. "One way or the other, we will do something, but there is no rush," he said. Trump claimed that US pressure had severely weakened Iran's economy.
“我们在财政上使其瘫痪。他们没钱、没汽油，他们的民众对此非常厌倦，”他说。
"We crippled them financially. They have no money, no gasoline and their people are getting very tired of it," he said.
总统表示，与德黑兰的沟通“进展顺利”，尽管他指责伊朗谈判代表故意拖延谈判。
The president said communications with Tehran were "going fine," although he accused Iranian negotiators of deliberately prolonging discussions.
“（伊朗方面的）紧迫性比你想象的要小，但他们比以往任何时候都更想达成协议，”特朗普说。
“There's less urgency (on the Iranian side) than you think there would be, but they want to make a deal more than they ever wanted," Trump said.
他的言论是在有报道称以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在周六的一次电话中敦促华盛顿在中期选举后立即发动军事打击之后发表的。
His remarks followed reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged Washington during a Saturday phone call to launch immediate military strikes after the midterm elections.
据《Axios》报道，尽管内塔尼亚胡提出了担忧，特朗普还是决定让外交谈判继续进行。
Trump instead decided to allow diplomatic negotiations to continue despite concerns raised by Netanyahu, according to Axios.
