The Obama administration and its European allies, surprised and encouraged by Hassan Rohani's Saturday election as Iran's next president, are planning to aggressively push for a resumption of negotiations with Tehran on its nuclear program by August in order to test his new government's positions, U.S. and European diplomats said.

美国和欧洲的外交人士说，鲁哈尼(Hassan Rohani)上周六当选伊朗总统之后，感到意外但也受到鼓舞的奥巴马政府及其欧洲盟友打算积极推动在8月份之前恢复与德黑兰在其核计划问题上的谈判，以此试探鲁哈尼新政府的立场。

The diplomacy between Iran and global powers, which is aimed at curbing Tehran's nuclear work, has been deadlocked for nearly a decade.

伊朗和全球大国之间旨在遏制德黑兰核计划的外交活动已经停滞了将近10年。

American and European officials said on Sunday that they believed Iran's overall nuclear policy would remain tightly controlled by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has refused to make any concessions during the past four years of talks that have involved Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany.

美国和欧洲的官员上周日说，他们认为伊朗的整体核政策仍将受到最高领袖哈梅内伊(Ayatollah Ali Khamenei)的严格控制。过去四年，在伊朗与联合国安理会(United Nations Security Council)五个常任理事国及德国的谈判中，哈梅内伊一直拒绝做出任何让步。

Still, Washington and Brussels are eager to quickly test whether Mr. Rohani's unexpected election could result in Mr. Khamenei softening his position on the nuclear file or scaling back Tehran's broader confrontation with the West.

尽管如此，华盛顿和布鲁塞尔仍急于试探鲁哈尼出人意料的胜选是否会使哈梅内伊软化其在核问题上的立场，或者缩减德黑兰与西方的对抗。

Iran, along with Russia, is the most important backer of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, whose government is subsumed in a broadening civil war with rebel groups that are backed by the U.S. and its Arab allies.

伊朗和俄罗斯是叙利亚总统阿萨德(Bashar al-Assad)最重要的支持者，阿萨德政府正在陷入与反对派日益扩大的内战中。叙利亚反对派得到了美国及其阿拉伯盟友的支持。

'The Supreme Leader is the ultimate decision maker on Iran's nuclear policy, and we do not anticipate these election results will alter that fact,' said a senior U.S. official. 'We have repeatedly said that we are ready to engage in substantive negotiations with Iran. ...The results of this election have not changed that.'

美国的一名高级官员说，伊朗最高领袖哈梅内伊是伊朗核政策的最终决策者，我们不会期待这次的选举结果会改变这一事实；我们已经多次表示，我们做好了与伊朗进行实质性谈判的准备，这次选举结果没有改变这一点。

Iranian voters, as well as many of the presidential candidates, sharply criticized Tehran's handling of the nuclear issue during the campaign. They also blamed the government for a worsening economic crises that has been fueled by mounting U.S. and European sanctions enacted to try and force Tehran to make concessions on its nuclear program.

伊朗选民，以及许多总统候选人在竞选阶段尖锐地批评了德黑兰处理核问题的方式。他们还认为政府应该为经济危机的不断恶化负责。伊朗的经济危机因为美国和欧洲对其实施的越来越多的制裁而加剧。这些制裁旨在迫使伊朗在核计划上让步。

Mr. Rohani campaigned on ending Iran's international isolation and reinvigorating the Iranian economy. U.S. and European officials said his election could provide Mr. Khamenei with an opening to shift Tehran's course, if he desires to.

鲁哈尼在竞选期间提出，将结束伊朗在国际上的孤立状态并振兴伊朗经济。美国和欧洲的官员们说，鲁哈尼当选可能成为哈梅内伊改变德黑兰路线的契机，如果哈梅内伊有这种意愿的话。
