President Barack Obama says lasting 1 peace between Israel and the Palestinians must be based on two states, with Israel in its 1967 borders, with conditions. In a major speech on U.S /Mideast policy, the president prodded 2 both sides to return to negotiations 3.
美国总统奥巴马在有关美国中东政策的重要演说中表示，以色列和巴勒斯坦之间的持久和平必须基于巴以两国的存在，而两国边界应当是基于1967年战争前的边界。奥巴马总统敦促双方返回谈判桌。
Obama has endorsed 4 a key Palestinian demand that a Palestinian state should be based on borders as they existed before the 1967 Six-Day War.
奥巴马总统支持巴勒斯坦方面提出的一项关键性要求，那就是未来巴勒斯坦国的边界应当基于1967年六日战争前的边界。
“The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps 5, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states.”
他说：“以色列和巴勒斯坦的边界应当根据1967年的边界线来划定， 有双方都认可的交换，以便为两国建立安全和得到认可的边界。”

Meanwhile, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is seeking urgent consultations 7 with Arab leaders regarding Obama's address.
与此同时，巴勒斯坦权力机构主席阿巴斯正在寻求和阿拉伯领导人就奥巴马总统的演讲进行紧急磋商。
The president devoted 8 the final portion of his 46-minute speech to the continuing failure to advance the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, which have been stalled since last September.
奥巴马总统在46分钟的演讲中的最后部分谈到了推进以巴和平谈判持续遭到的挫折。以巴和谈自从去年9月以来一直陷入停滞。
“Now, ultimately, it is up to the Israelis and Palestinians to take action. No peace can be imposed upon them - not by the United States, not by anybody else. But endless delay will not make the problem go away.”
奥巴马说：“现在，和谈最终取决于以色列和巴勒斯坦人采取行动。美国或者其他任何人都无法让和平降临在他们身上。但是存在的问题不会因为无休止的耽搁而消失。”
The president had blunt talk for both sides. He warned the Palestinians that what he called "efforts to delegitimize Israel" would end in failure. And Obama cautioned the status quo is unsustainable and Israel must also act boldly to advance the peace process.
奥巴马总统直言不讳地对双方发出了信息。他警告巴勒斯坦人说：“宣布以色列非法的努力”将会以失败告终。奥巴马警告说，目前的现状是不可持续的，以色列必须勇敢地采取行动，推进和平进程。
He said that what he called "the wrenching 9 and emotional issues of the future of Jerusalem and the fate of Palestinian refugees" still wait to be resolved.
他说，耶路撒冷的未来以及巴勒斯坦难民的命运这些令人痛苦和情绪化的问题仍然有待解决。
“But moving forward now on the basis of territory and security provides a foundation to resolve those two issues in a way that is just and fair, and that respects the rights and aspirations 10 of both Israelis and Palestinians.”
奥巴马说：“在领土与安全的基础上向前发展为公正和公平地解决那两个问题提供了一个基础，这种解决方式尊重以色列和巴勒斯坦人双方的权利和愿望。”
The president also acknowledged the complication presented recently by the unification of the Palestinian factions 11 Fatah and Hamas. The United States and Israel consider Hamas to be a terrorist organization.
奥巴马总统还承认巴勒斯坦派系法塔赫与哈马斯组织最近的联合增加了问题的复杂性。美国和以色列都把哈马斯视为恐怖组织。
“How can one negotiate with a party that has shown itself unwilling 12 to recognize your right to exist? In the weeks and months to come, Palestinian leaders will have to provide a credible 13 answer to that question. Meanwhile, the United States, our Quartet partners, and the Arab states will need to continue every effort to get beyond the current impasse 14.”
奥巴马说：“人们怎么能同一个表现出不愿承认你存在权利的一方进行谈判呢？巴勒斯坦领导人必须对这个问题做出可信的回答。与此同时，美国，我们的四个伙伴国以及阿拉伯国家将继续所有的努力，以摆脱目前的僵局。”
After the speech, Hamas accused Obama of deception 15 and favoritism toward Israel.
