中英版文章解讀國(guó)際社會(huì)商討利比亞未來(lái)
Leaders of Libya's uprising were in Paris Thursday with delegates from 60 countries and world bodies to discuss a roadmap for Libya's humanitarian, political and economic future, even as ex-leader Moammar Gadhafi, in hiding, vowed to fight on.
Thursday marked 42 years since Moammar Gadhafi took power in Libya. But with the longtime ruler now on the run - in an audio message aired Thursday he promised no surrender - world backers of the uprising against him met to plan rebuilding the country along new lines.
The meeting on Libya is hosted by British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy. They were joined by dignitaries from around the world, including U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Speaking in Paris before the conference, Britain's Foreign Secretary William Hague said it shows that the world is coming together to support Libya's future.
"The other thing of course that it provides today - that the conference provides - is an opportunity for the National Transitional Council to set out their plans for the stabilization of Libya and then what they do politically to create a democratic and inclusive Libya," noted Hague.
The "Friends of Libya" conference gives the National Transitional Council (NTC) an international platform.
French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe told reporters that it is important to have confidence in the NTC leadership.
Juppe said that the international community didn't intervene in Libya for it to fall into another regime that wouldn't respect the fundamental rights of the Libyan people.
The NTC is set to push for access to billions of dollars in foreign-held Libyan assets, which were frozen while Gadhafi held power. The United States, Britain, and France have already been granted permission by the U.N. sanctions committee to unfreeze billions of dollars.
The NTC was also set to lay out plans for a new constitution and elections.
Nicola Pratt, an expert on the international politics of the Middle East at Warwick University in Britain, says the platform that Thursday's conference provides for the NTC is important.
"The council needs financial support desperately in order to start providing basic services, to pay civil servants, to start generally rebuilding the economy," noted Pratt. "So this is a crucial period. If the NTC doesn't manage to do these things quickly then it definitely will suffer from a lack of legitimacy."
But she says the importance of the conference is largely symbolic.
She says much of the wrangling will take place in the corridors as countries jostle for post-war contracts over infrastructure, utilities, and oil.
"There is going to be some competition between those countries that have played a role in helping to get rid of Gadhafi feeling some sort of entitlement now that Gadhafi is gone and this reconstruction process is going to begin," added Pratt.
On Thursday, just ahead of the conference, Russia recognized the National Transitional Council as Libya's acting leadership. But a number of countries around the world, including some in the African Union, have not recognized the NTC as Libya's legitimate government.

周四標(biāo)志著利比亞領(lǐng)袖卡扎菲上校奪取政權(quán)42周年。但是這位長(zhǎng)期的統(tǒng)治者現(xiàn)在正在逃亡——盡管他在周四的廣播信息中發(fā)誓不會(huì)投降——利比亞起義的國(guó)際支持者召開(kāi)會(huì)議，商討按照新的方針重建利比亞的計(jì)劃。
The meeting on Libya is hosted by British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy. They were joined by dignitaries from around the world, including U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
關(guān)于利比亞的會(huì)議由英國(guó)首相卡梅倫和法國(guó)總統(tǒng)薩科齊主持。此外還有來(lái)自世界各地的代表參加，包括美國(guó)國(guó)務(wù)卿希拉里·克林頓和聯(lián)合國(guó)秘書長(zhǎng)潘基文。
Speaking in Paris before the conference, Britain's Foreign Secretary William Hague said it shows that the world is coming together to support Libya's future.
會(huì)議開(kāi)始之前，英國(guó)外交大臣威廉·黑格在巴黎發(fā)表講話。他表示，這表明全世界民眾團(tuán)結(jié)起來(lái)支持利比亞的未來(lái)。
"The other thing of course that it provides today - that the conference provides - is an opportunity for the National Transitional Council to set out their plans for the stabilization of Libya and then what they do politically to create a democratic and inclusive Libya," noted Hague.
“今天的會(huì)議的另外一個(gè)作用是，為過(guò)渡國(guó)民委員會(huì)提供一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)，讓他們制定出穩(wěn)定利比亞的計(jì)劃，制定出怎樣創(chuàng)建一個(gè)民主包容的利比亞的計(jì)劃�！�
The "Friends of Libya" conference gives the National Transitional Council (NTC) an international platform.
“利比亞之友”會(huì)議為過(guò)渡國(guó)民委員會(huì)提供了一個(gè)國(guó)際化平臺(tái)。
French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe told reporters that it is important to have confidence in the NTC leadership.
法國(guó)外交部長(zhǎng)阿蘭·朱佩(Alain Juppe)表示，大家必須對(duì)過(guò)渡國(guó)民委員會(huì)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)有信心，這是非常重要的。
Juppe said that the international community didn't intervene in Libya for it to fall into another regime that wouldn't respect the fundamental rights of the Libyan people.
朱佩表示，國(guó)際社會(huì)進(jìn)行干預(yù)是不希望利比亞過(guò)渡到另一個(gè)不尊重民眾基本權(quán)利的政權(quán)。
The NTC is set to push for access to billions of dollars in foreign-held Libyan assets, which were frozen while Gadhafi held power. The United States, Britain, and France have already been granted permission by the U.N. sanctions committee to unfreeze billions of dollars.
過(guò)渡國(guó)民委員會(huì)即將獲得卡扎菲執(zhí)政期間被凍結(jié)的存在國(guó)外的利比亞資產(chǎn)。美國(guó)，英國(guó)和法國(guó)已經(jīng)獲得聯(lián)合國(guó)制裁委員會(huì)解凍數(shù)十億美元資產(chǎn)的許可。
The NTC was also set to lay out plans for a new constitution and elections.
過(guò)渡國(guó)民委員會(huì)還將制定出臺(tái)新憲法并進(jìn)行選舉的計(jì)劃。
Nicola Pratt, an expert on the international politics of the Middle East at Warwick University in Britain, says the platform that Thursday's conference provides for the NTC is important.
英國(guó)華威大學(xué)中東地區(qū)國(guó)際政治專家Nicola Pratt表示，周四的會(huì)議為過(guò)渡國(guó)民委員會(huì)提供的平臺(tái)是非常重要的。
"The council needs financial support desperately in order to start providing basic services, to pay civil servants, to start generally rebuilding the economy," noted Pratt. "So this is a crucial period. If the NTC doesn't manage to do these things quickly then it definitely will suffer from a lack of legitimacy."
“為了開(kāi)始提供基本的服務(wù)，為公務(wù)員支付薪資，開(kāi)始重建經(jīng)濟(jì)，過(guò)渡國(guó)民委員會(huì)亟需經(jīng)濟(jì)支持。所以這是非常關(guān)鍵的時(shí)期。如果過(guò)渡國(guó)民委員會(huì)不能盡快做到這些，毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)他們將缺乏合法性�！�
But she says the importance of the conference is largely symbolic.
但是她說(shuō)，這次會(huì)議的重要性在于是有象征意義的。
She says much of the wrangling will take place in the corridors as countries jostle for post-war contracts over infrastructure, utilities, and oil.
她說(shuō)，由于各國(guó)爭(zhēng)奪戰(zhàn)后基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施，公用設(shè)施和石油合同，將會(huì)出現(xiàn)普遍的'競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。
"There is going to be some competition between those countries that have played a role in helping to get rid of Gadhafi feeling some sort of entitlement now that Gadhafi is gone and this reconstruction process is going to begin," added Pratt.
“由于現(xiàn)在卡扎菲正在逃亡，重建工程即將開(kāi)始，曾經(jīng)在推翻卡扎菲上校的過(guò)程中發(fā)揮過(guò)作用的國(guó)家認(rèn)為自己有權(quán)獲得這些合同，這些國(guó)家之間將會(huì)出現(xiàn)激烈的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)�！�
On Thursday, just ahead of the conference, Russia recognized the National Transitional Council as Libya's acting leadership. But a number of countries around the world, including some in the African Union, have not recognized the NTC as Libya's legitimate government.
