參議員克里(John Kerry)承諾，作為美國下一任國務(wù)卿，他將推進(jìn)總統(tǒng)奧巴馬(Barack Obama)的愿景，減少美國在伊斯蘭世界的軍事行動(dòng)，推行更加注重援助、經(jīng)濟(jì)和環(huán)境問題的對(duì)外政策。

Mr. Kerry also underscored the 'very real' threat posed to the U.S. by the increasing strength of al Qaeda and Islamist militias based in North Africa.

克里還強(qiáng)調(diào)，北非基地組織及伊斯蘭民兵實(shí)力增強(qiáng)，對(duì)美國構(gòu)成了“非?，F(xiàn)實(shí)”的威脅。他說，敘利亞的內(nèi)戰(zhàn)可能會(huì)引起中東地區(qū)更大范圍的宗派沖突。不過他也小心地避免明確表示白宮將采取軍事行動(dòng)來實(shí)現(xiàn)敘利亞的和平。
The senator's nearly four hours of comments before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee岸which he has chaired since 2009岸highlighted the challenges Mr. Obama will face during his second term in limiting Washington's use of force while still trying to manage the growing political and social turmoil that has gripped the Middle East and North Africa in the past two years.
克利在參議院外交關(guān)系委員會(huì)(Foreign Relations Committee)的陳述用時(shí)將近四個(gè)小時(shí)。他的發(fā)言凸顯奧巴馬第二個(gè)任期將面臨的挑戰(zhàn)：既要限制華盛頓動(dòng)用武力，同時(shí)又要控制過去兩年出現(xiàn)在中東及北非、越來越激烈的政治與社會(huì)動(dòng)蕩。自2009年以來他一直是這個(gè)委員會(huì)的主席。
Mr. Kerry's testimony also cast into sharp relief the international threats that could undercut the president's desire to focus on such foreign-policy goals as growing the U.S. presence in Asia and promoting Arab-Israeli peace in the next four years.
克里的證詞還彰顯美國面臨的國際威脅。這些威脅可能會(huì)削弱奧巴馬在接下來四年專注于實(shí)現(xiàn)部分外交政策目標(biāo)的能力，這些目標(biāo)包括提高美國在亞洲地區(qū)的存在，以及促進(jìn)阿拉伯和以色列的和平。

Mr. Kerry is expected to easily win confirmation from the Senate in the next week. His hearing was marked by very few testy exchanges between the Democrat and Republican lawmakers. The onetime presidential candidate was introduced at the hearing by departing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.), a fellow Vietnam War veteran.
預(yù)計(jì)克里將在下周輕松獲得參議院的確認(rèn)。在這次聽證會(huì)上，民主黨和共和黨議員之間很少出現(xiàn)怒氣沖沖的交鋒。聽證會(huì)開始的時(shí)候，即將離任的國務(wù)卿克林頓(Hillary Clinton)和同為越戰(zhàn)老兵的參議員麥凱恩(John McCain，共和黨，亞利桑那州)對(duì)曾經(jīng)參加過總統(tǒng)選舉的克里做了介紹。
