CNN News: 印度和巴基斯坦

There are nine countries in the world that are believed to have nuclear weapons and two of them which happen to be neighbors have just had a flare up in their rivalry. We’re talking about the south Asian countries of India and Pakistan. Other governments are asking them to show restraint to try to calm down their tensions. Earlier this month there was a suicide car bomb attack on Indian soldiers in a territory controlled by India. Forty troops were killed. India says a terrorist group based in Pakistan is responsible and it accuses Pakistan of supporting the attack.

世界上有九個國家擁有核武器，其中兩個恰好是鄰國，它們之間的競爭剛剛爆發(fā)。我們指的是南亞國家印度和巴基斯坦。其他國家的政府試圖緩和緊張局勢，要求他們保持克制。本月早些時候，在印度控制的地區(qū)發(fā)生了一起針對印度士兵的自殺式汽車炸彈襲擊。40名士兵陣亡。印度表示，一個以巴基斯坦為基地的恐怖組織應(yīng)對此負(fù)責(zé)，并指責(zé)巴基斯坦支持這次襲擊。

Pakistan says it had nothing to do with the bombing but on Tuesday India launched air strikes in Pakistani territory for the first time in almost 50 years. India says it was targeting a camp run by the terrorist group. Then on Wednesday, Pakistan says its air force shot down two Indian fighter jets that had flown over territory Pakistan says it controls. India confirmed it has lost one plane but said it had shot down a Pakistani jet too. We don’t know exactly what happened with the planes but we can tell you about a problem that’s existed between these two countries for years.

巴基斯坦表示與爆炸事件無關(guān)，但周二印度在巴基斯坦境內(nèi)發(fā)動了近50年來的首次空襲。印度表示，襲擊目標(biāo)是該恐怖組織經(jīng)營的一個營地。周三，巴基斯坦表示，巴基斯坦空軍擊落了兩架飛越巴基斯坦控制地區(qū)的印度戰(zhàn)機。印度證實已失去一架飛機，但表示也擊落了一架巴基斯坦飛機。我們不知道飛機到底發(fā)生了什么，但可以告訴大家多年來這兩個國家之間存在爭端。

It’s a dispute over a territory named Kashmir. It’s located on the northern borders of Pakistan and India. Both nations control parts of Kashmir but both nations claim that the entire territory should be theirs. It’s by no means a new dispute. It’s caused fighting and wars between them for decades including the violence that we’ve seen this week.

這是一場關(guān)于克什米爾領(lǐng)土的爭端。它位于巴基斯坦和印度的北部邊境。兩國都控制著克什米爾的部分地區(qū)，但都聲稱整個地區(qū)應(yīng)該屬于他們。這絕不是一場新的爭端。這導(dǎo)致了他們之間數(shù)十年的戰(zhàn)爭，包括我們本周看到的暴力事件。
