一、叙利亚和平掌握在美俄手中 Last?week,?as?President?Obama?entertained?theWhite?House?Correspondents’?Association?dinner?andBritain?indulged?in?a?bizarre?debate?about?whetherHitler?was?a?Zionist,?more?than?200?people?were?killedin?a?brutal?bombardment?of?Aleppo.?The?breakdownof?Syria’s?fragile?ceasefire?promises?yet?moresuffering?in?a?five-year?long?war?that?has?killedhundreds?of?thousands?of?people?and?createdmillions?of?refugees. 上周，当美国总统奥巴马(Obama)在白宫记者协会(WhiteHouse?Correspondents?Association)晚宴上娱乐宾客、英国沉溺于关于希特勒是否是犹太复国主义者这种匪夷所思的辩论时，超过200人在阿勒颇(Aleppo)的野蛮轰炸中遇难。叙利亚长达5年的内战造成了数十万人遇难、数百万人流离失所，如果脆弱的停火协议土崩瓦解，还会造成更多痛苦。 Yet,?amid?all?the?misery,?there?is?hope.?It?is?possible?that?this?year?could?witness?two?huge?andpositive?developments.?The?first?would?be?the?military?defeat?of?the?jihadis?of?Isis,?who?couldlose?their?two?major?strongholds?in?Syria?—?the?towns?of?Raqqa?and?Deir?al-Zour.?The?secondcrucial?development?would?be?the?achievement?of?a?peace?deal?between?the?Syrian?regimeand?the?non-jihadi?rebels. 尽管局势充斥着各种痛苦，但希望犹存。今年有可能出现两大积极进展。第一项进展是“伊拉克和黎凡特伊斯兰国”(ISIS)圣战分子或将遭遇军事失败，可能失去在叙利亚的两个主要据点——拉卡市(Raqqa)和代尔祖尔(Deir?al-Zour)。第二项至关重要的进展是叙利亚政权和非圣战分子叛军之间或将达成和平协议。 The?key?to?both?developments?is?close?co-operation?between?Washington?and?Moscow.?Despitethe?obvious?tensions?between?Russia?and?the?United?States,?their?views?of?the?Syrian?conflicthave?been?converging,?laying?the?basis?for?a?joint?approach?to?defeating?Isis?and?ending?thewar. 取得这两项进展的关键在于华盛顿方面和莫斯科方面的密切合作。尽管俄罗斯和美国明显关系紧张，但是两国对叙利亚冲突的看法日趋一致，这为打败ISIS、结束叙利亚战争的双方联合行动奠定了基础。 The?Americans?have?moved?furthest.?Rhetorically,?the?US?is?still?committed?to?the?idea?that“Assad?must?go”,?a?goal?first?stated?by?President?Obama?back?in?2011.?In?practice,?the?rise?ofIsis?means?that?the?Americans’?priorities?in?Syria?have?changed.?Defeating?the?jihadist?threat?isnow?their?overriding?aim.?To?achieve?that?end,?the?Americans?are?prepared?to?tacitly?ditch?thegoal?of?“regime?change”?in?Syria?—?although?they?are?still?insisting,?for?the?moment,?thatPresiden
