Netanyahu, in Speech to Congress, Criticizes ‘Bad Deal’ on Iran Nuclear ProgramBy PETER BAKER March 04, 2015内塔尼亚胡华盛顿演讲批评奥巴马对伊朗妥协PETER BAKER 2015年03月04日WASHINGTON — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel used one of the most prominent platforms in the world on Tuesday to warn against what he called a “bad deal” being negotiated with Iran to freeze its nuclear program, bringing to a culmination a drama that has roiled Israeli-American relations for weeks.华盛顿——本周二，以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡(Benjamin Netanyahu)在一个极受世界注目的讲坛上发出警告，反对美国正在与伊朗磋商的一项协议，并称该项旨在冻结伊朗核计划的妥协很“糟糕”。一场扰乱美以关系数周之久的事件也就此达到了高潮。In an implicit challenge to President Obama, Mr. Netanyahu told a joint meeting of Congress that Iran’s “tentacles of terror” were already clutching Israel and that failing to stop Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons “could well threaten the survival of my country.” The deal Mr. Obama seeks will not prevent a nuclear-armed Iran, he said, but “will all but guarantee” it.内塔尼亚胡的讲话对美国总统奥巴马隐隐提出了质问，他在国会联席会议上表示，以色列已经被伊朗的“恐怖触角”所缠绕，如果不阻止伊朗取得核武器，“很可能就会对我国的生存形成威胁。”他说奥巴马谋求的妥协不能阻止伊朗拥有核武器，只会起到反作用。“We must all stand together to stop Iran’s march of conquest, subjugation and terror,” Mr. Netanyahu told the lawmakers, who responded with repeated standing ovations.“我们必须同心协力，阻止伊朗征服、压制别国，并且制造恐怖的脚步，”内塔尼亚胡对议员们说。他的发言赢得了多次起立鼓掌。Less than two hours later, Mr. Obama sharply rebutted Mr. Netanyahu’s speech before he attended a meeting with the new defense secretary, Ashton B. Carter. Mr. Obama offered a vigorous defense of the deal he has proposed to Iran and argued that the Israeli leader’s speech was “nothing new” and offered no other credible approach.之后不到两小时，奥巴马在与新任国防部长阿什顿·B·卡特(Ashton B. Carter)参加一个会议时，尖锐反驳了内塔尼亚胡的讲话。对于自己建议与伊朗达成的妥协，奥巴马极力做出了辩护。他表示，以色列领导人的讲话“毫无新意”，并未提出其他令人信服的方法。“The prime minister didn’t offer any viable alternative,” Mr. Obama said. He added: “The alternative the prime minister offers is no deal, in which case Iran will immediately begin once again to pursue a nuclear program, accelerate its nuclea
