Translate the sentences, paying attention to the underlined words. А. 1. Mr Rouhani, who spoke to President Obama late on Friday, has said he wants to seek a deal with world powers on Iran's nuclear programme within months. The phone conversation was the first top-level conversation between the two countries for more than 30 years. Mr Rouhani, a moderate, was elected in June, replacing hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. 2. The P5+1 have called on Tehran to halt production and stockpiling of uranium enriched to 20%. 3. The big five nuclear powers have issued a joint statement welcoming progress towards worldwide nuclear disarmament, although their optimism remains overshadowed by the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran. 4. The Egyptian army says unity talks between Islamist-backed President Mohamed Morsi and the opposition, which were to have been held Wednesday, were postponed. No new date was set. The two political sides are sharply divided over the draft constitution. 5. Earlier, UK Foreign Secretary William Hague told the BBC an international military response to the suspected use of chemical weapons would be possible without the backing of the UN. 6. The presidents of Russia and Argentina Wednesday sealed an array of cooperation deals, including in nuclear energy, and vowed to work together to promote a multipolar world. 7. Russia and America have pledged to slash their nuclear stockpiles in a groundbreaking agreement in London on the eve of the G20 summit. 8. France, which hands over the rotating EU presidency to the Czech Republic in January, needs to win the Eastern states' support ahead of an EU summit on 11-12 December. 9. The Palestinians are asking the UN General Assembly to upgrade their status from permanent observer to a "non-member observer state". Israel and the US oppose the move, due to be voted on later this week. They are concerned that the Palestinians are trying to seek full statehood via the UN, rather than through negotiation as set out in the 1993 Oslo peace accords under which the Palestinian Authority was established. Washington has warned that it could hinder rather than help future dialogue. 10. Under the agreement between the United States and Russia, this work should be finished by November. Some chemical stocks will be removed safely and destroyed outside Syria, while others will be collected up for destruction inside the country. 11. Amid the rising tensions, the Crimean parliament announced it would hold a referendum on expanding the region’s autonomy on 25 May. 12. A Foreign Office spokesman said Hague had phoned both Kerry and Lavrov to encourage them ‘to hold talks in London with a view to de-escalating the situation in Crimea and setting up dialogue between Russia and Ukraine’. 13. North Korea said on Tuesday that it would restart a shuttered plutonium reactor and increase production of enriched uranium, a move that further increases tension on the Korean peninsula and raises the pressure on the US and South Korea to resume talks with Pyongyang. 14. The conflict has been high on the agenda for Mr Cameron’s talks with the leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates during his three-day trip to the Gulf. 15. This September, Mr. Elbaradei welcomed Iran’s agreement on a timeline to address all outstanding issues regarding the country’s nuclear programme. 16. As well as intensifying dialogue on missile defence cooperation “both bilaterally and multilaterally”, the two sides pledged to step up joint work to resolve other issues. 17. Three rounds of talks between US and Iranian officials have been held in Baghdad but do not appear to have produced tangible results. 18. NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said he was” concerned about developments in Crimea” and urged Russia “not to take any action that can escalate tension’. 19. The newly elected Egyptian President, Mohamed Mursi yesterday August 28 arrived in China for the first leg of a high-profile foreign trip that will also take him to Iran later this week for the Non-Aligned Summit. 20. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called on the US Senate to ratify a new nuclear arms treaty with Russia, a day after Republicans threatened to block ratification efforts. The treaty would reduce both countries' nuclear arsenals and allow each to inspect the other's facilities. 21. Ms Pillay's visit comes as Canada has called for a boycott of a Commonwealth summit scheduled to take place in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo in November. The UK and human rights groups have also raised concerns over whether Sri Lanka should host the meeting. 22. During his famous Munich speech, President Putin said that “the process of NATO expansion has nothing to do with modernization of the alliance.” 23. The Palestinians had to be persuaded, she said, that negotiations with Israel were the only path to an independent state. It was in Israel's interest, she added, to make generous steps towards Palestinians in the West Bank, "whether or not there is a comprehensive agreement in the near future”. 24. Iran has been eager to reach an agreement to ease international sanctions that have halted most oil exports and crippled its economy. 25. In the place of bilateral talks with the EU, the Ukrainian government has suggested a “tripartite commission” between Brussels, Kiev and Moscow to resolve differences. The European Commission said Mr Yanukovich would still be welcome at the Vilnius summit even if Ukraine does not sign the pact, but M.K., a spokeswoman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, hinted that the EU was not interested in participating in the trilateral commission. 26. Pakistan’s Foreign Minister said on Monday that a swift deal was possible. “Given the political will, we have narrowed down our differences enough for us to have a decision within a matter of days, ’he said. 27. Ethnic Ukrainians made up 24% of the population in Crimea according to the 2001 census, compared with 58% Russians and 12% Tatars. Tatars have been returning since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 – causing persistent tensions with Russians over land rights. B. 1. The timing of the launch, as the Obama administration seeks negotiations with Iran over its nuclear programme, may have to do more with Iran’s upcoming presidential elections or technological calendar than deliberate defiance of U.S. overtures. President Mahmud Ahmadinejad was showered with rose petals during a public appearance after the launch. 2. Abbas’s position was backed by Egypt and Jordan, which both have peace treaties with Israel, as well as Saudi Arabia and most Gulf states, which do not. But Libya and Syria have reservations. Syria’s foreign minister, Walid al-Wallem, conspicuously stayed away from the Sirte meeting. 3. Russia voted in favour of the June round of sanctions on Iran. The measures, which had the unanimous backing of the Security Council’s five permanent members, included an arms embargo. US officials depicted yesterday’s move as the Kremlin complying with UN sanctions, rather than the product of a deal with Washington. 4. Mr Roh is sсheduled to visit Pyongyang for talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-il next month – only the second summit between the two Koreas since the peninsula was divided. South Korean policy of engagement with the North has often put it at odds with the US administration’s more hardline approach – a division that Pyongyang is well-practiced at exploiting. 5. Despite descriptions by both sides of the two-day visit as “fruitful” and “productive”, the two countries did not reach any agreements on what have been two of the most divisive issues: missile defenses and future strategic nuclear arms limits. 6. Goodluck Jonatan, Nigeria’s president and chairman of regional block Ecowas, said last week that similar deals struck after violent, disputed elections in Kenya and Zimbabwe had set a dangerous precedent and should henceforth be avoided. 7. The Liberal party leader, whose "stop-the-boats" policy helped propel him to power in September's elections, said that stopping the flow of asylum seekers to Australia was a "stand-or-fall" issue for him. Ahead of the tour, Mr Abbott sought to play down the tensions over asylum issues, saying he planned to focus on other subjects, including trade. 8. The US has decided to delay a long-planned missile test scheduled for next week out of California “to avoid any misperception or miscalculation’, given tensions with North Korea, a senior US defence official said on Saturday. 9. The US is walking a difficult line, seeking to assure allies it will defend them in a crisis while trying to avoid further escalating tensions. 10. According to one former confidant of Mr Assad, now defected, the Geneva II talks are "the orphan child nobody wants". Even by attending, each party loses face in the eyes of its cohorts. Nevertheless, talk they must. As yet, it is Syria's only hope. 11. Mr Abbas is afraid that to attend a weak and inconclusive conference would play into the hands of his critics in the Islamist movement Hamas, who are already confidently predicting the conference will be a waste of time, our correspondent says. 12. The joint statement spelt out that rural development would be the first issue addressed and would be dealt with from 15 November in Havana. 13. The atmosphere afterwards was glum, says the BBC’s Richard Galpin in Moscow. It was clear the two sides had made little progress in tackling the increasing number of problems dogging their relationship. 14. The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, backing up Kerry in the strongest language she has employed so far, on Thursday told the Reichstag that the consequences for Russia would be huge if it failed to enter into negotiations. She ruled out military force, but warned sternly that the crisis would cause “massive damage to Russia, economically and politically”. 15. However, Iran insisted it would resume some nuclear activities that were suspended in an attempt to bolster international confidence, but said actual uranium enrichment would not resume as long as any hope remains in troubled talks between Iranian and European negotiators. 16. If there is drama it is likely to come on Friday when the Syrian parties are due to meet for the first time at the Palais des Nations in Geneva under the chairmanship of Lakhdar Brahimi, the veteran Algerian mediator representing the UN and the Arab League. His predecessor, Kofi Annan, resigned in frustration. 17. Retaliating for Russia's decision to give NSA leaker Edward Snowden asylum, President Barack Obama has canceled a planned summit with Vladimir Putin. The decision also comes amid growing US consensus that the lack of common ground between the two powers on major international issues – from Syria to missile defense and human rights – meant a full-day US-Russia summit was no longer warranted. 18. Despite the summit cancellation, some US-Russia experts say they still expect to see Mr. Obama sitting down with Mr. Putin on the margins of the G20 summit in St. Petersburg on Sept. 5-6 – if only to salvage the fledgling counterterrorism cooperation between the two countries in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings. The UN Security Council is divided, with Russia and China opposing military intervention and the UK and France warning that the UN could be bypassed if there was "great humanitarian need". 19. However, in a sign of continuing tension between Russia and the US, the US administration said it was cancelling a much-heralded civilian nuclear cooperation deal with Russia, which had been sent to Congress for approval in May, after two years of tough negotiations. 20. Mr. Tsvangirai says he should have been consulted over the appointments under the power-sharing deal which saw him become prime minister. Mr. Mugabe's allies have dismissed the claims. 21. Such a deal would represent an important change in relations between the Kremlin and the US-led alliance, which were seriously damaged by Moscow invasion of Georgia in August 2008. “The invitation to Russia to join in missile defence is a game-changer because so rarely in history do we see Russia seeking to participate in a formal transatlantic security arrangement,” a senior NATO official said. 22. Even though the initial relaxation of sanctions is expected to have only limited benefits for the Iran’s hard-pressed economy, analysts say the broader confidence generated by the landmark agreement will help Iran’s business climate. 23. The stumbling block in reaching an agreement is what happens to Assad. Syria’s deeply divided opposition is agreed on one thing – that it is not prepared to participate in a political transition that includes him. 24. US President Barack Obama has sent a letter to Afghanistan’s leader vowing to respect his nation’s sovereignty, as Afghan elders debate a crucial post-2014 security pact. A draft of the deal was released by Kabul shortly before the grand assembly of elders – or Loya Jirga – started on Thursday. The BBC’s Karen Allen in Kabul says the issue of US raids on Afghan homes has been a key stumbling block in a deal that has taken months to hammer out. Mr. Karzai urged the 2,000 elders to back the deal, which could see 15,000 foreign troops remain after 2014. 25. The territory that is now Ukraine has a long and painful history as a bloody borderline between East and West. But it came into being an independent nation only in 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed. 26. But while Russia’s participation in the annual NATO meeting for the first time since 2007 marks a boost in Obama administration’s efforts to “reset” US-Russia ties, a formal deal between the Kremlin and NATO on missile defence still faces many hurdles. 27. Russia suspended its participation in what is seen as the cornerstone of the post-cold war security architecture in protest over failure by other countries to ratify an amended version. IV.
