Ted Cruz: It is time to call this enemy
特德·克魯茲:是時候直面這個敵人了
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas lost out to Trump for the Republican Party presidential nomination. He and other Republicans in Congress last month proposed bills that ask Trump to consider adding the Brotherhood and Iran's Revolutionary Guard to the terrorist list.
德克薩斯州參議員特德·克魯茲(Ted Cruz)在共和黨總統(tǒng)提名上敗給了川普。他和其他國會共和黨人上個月提出議案,要求川普考慮將穆斯林兄弟會和伊朗革命衛(wèi)隊納入恐怖組織名單。
"It is time to call this enemy by its name and speak with clarity and moral authority," Cruz said.
克魯茲說:“是時候直面這個敵人,并清晰和正當?shù)卣f出來了。”
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is Iran's main security group. It also controls large parts of Iran's economy and is a major influence on its politics.
伊朗革命衛(wèi)隊是伊朗最重要的安全組織,它還控制了伊朗大部分經(jīng)濟,對伊朗政治也有重大影響。
Opponents of naming the Iranian Guard a terrorist organization worry the move could do more harm than good. They say it likely would increase support for Iranian hardliners, reducing the influence of moderate leaders.
反對定義伊朗革命衛(wèi)隊為恐怖組織的人士擔心此舉可能會弊大于利。他們表示,這可能會增加人們對伊朗強硬派的支持力度,并且降低溫和派領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的影響力。
The Muslim Brotherhood wants countries to be governed by Islamic Law. The Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi was elected president of Egypt in 2012. But he was removed by the military, led by Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, one year later.
穆斯林兄弟會希望各國受伊斯蘭法統(tǒng)治。穆斯林兄弟會的穆罕默德·穆爾西(Mohamed Morsi)于2012年當選為埃及總統(tǒng)。但是一年之后他被阿卜杜勒·法塔赫·塞西(Abdel Fattah el-Sisi)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的埃及軍方趕下了臺。
After taking over as the country's president, el-Sisi has banned the Muslim Brotherhood. And he has been calling on the U.S. to add the group to its terrorist list.
在接任埃及總統(tǒng)之后,塞西已經(jīng)禁止了穆斯林兄弟會。他還一直呼吁美國將該組織納入其恐怖組織名單。
There is also opposition to putting the Muslim Brotherhood on the terrorist list.
同樣也有人反對將穆斯林兄弟會納入恐怖組織名單。
The Council on American-Islamic Relations works to protect civil liberties of American Muslims. Ibrahim Cooper speaks for the group, which also opposes President Trump's executive order blocking travel to the U.S. from seven majority Muslim nations. A court has put the order on hold.
美國伊斯蘭關(guān)系委員會致力于保護美國穆斯林的公民自由。易卜拉欣·庫珀(Ibrahim Cooper)是該組織發(fā)言人,他也反對川普總統(tǒng)禁止七個主要穆斯林國家進入美國的行政命令。法院已經(jīng)凍結(jié)該禁令。
Cooper told VOA that those pushing for the terrorist declaration are trying to connect American Muslims to the Muslim Brotherhood. Such a declaration, he said, would be used "in a political campaign to attack" American Muslims.
庫柏對美國之音表示,推動這一恐怖組織宣言的人士正試圖將美國穆斯林同穆斯林兄弟會聯(lián)系起來。他說,這類宣言將被用于“在政治運動中打擊美國穆斯林”。
But important advisers to President Trump support the terrorist declaration for the Brotherhood. Among them is his chief strategist Stephen Bannon, the former head of Breitbart News. He has called the Brotherhood the "foundation of modern terrorism."
但是川普總統(tǒng)的重要顧問支持宣布穆斯林兄弟會為恐怖組織。其中包括他的首席戰(zhàn)略顧問、前布萊特巴特新聞網(wǎng)站負責人斯蒂芬·班農(nóng)(Stephen Bannon)。他稱穆斯林兄弟會是“現(xiàn)代恐怖主義的基礎(chǔ)”。
Sean Spicer is the press secretary for President Trump. He would not say if Trump is ready to declare the Brotherhood and Iran's Revolutionary Guard terrorist organizations. But he said the president's main goal is to "attack" and "destroy" Islamic terrorism.
肖恩·斯派塞(Sean Spicer )是川普總統(tǒng)的新聞秘書。他不愿透露川普是否準備宣布穆斯林兄弟會和伊朗革命衛(wèi)隊為恐怖組織。但他表示,川普總統(tǒng)的主要目標是進攻和摧毀伊斯蘭恐怖主義。
The Egyptian government recently ordered 1,500 people to appear in court on charges of helping fund the Muslim Brotherhood.

Human Rights Watch said the action amounts to "indiscriminate use" of Egypt's anti-terrorism laws.
