俄羅斯總理梅德韋傑夫警告稱世界陷入"新冷戰"

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has said strains between Russia and the West have pushed the world "into a new cold war".

近日，俄羅斯總理梅德韋傑夫表示，俄羅斯和西方之間的緊張關係會將世界推至“新冷戰格局”。

"On an almost daily basis, we are being described the worst threat - be it to Nato as a whole, or to Europe, America or other countries," Mr Medvedev said.

梅德韋傑夫說道：“幾乎每一天，我們都被描述成是最大的威脅--不只是對整個北約來說，還是對歐洲、對美國或是對其他國家。”

He cited Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg's speeches and films depicting Russia starting a nuclear war.

梅德韋傑夫引用北約祕書長延斯·斯托爾滕貝格的演講內容以及描述俄羅斯將開啓核武器戰爭的一些電影。

The Cold War was a period of ideological confrontation between the former Soviet Union and Western countries. It began after World War Two and ended with the collapse of the Soviet-led communist camp in the 1989. The 45 years of tension were marked by espionage and proxy wars involving client states. The Nato alliance was established in 1949 to protect Western countries.

冷戰是指前蘇聯和西方國家意識形態對抗的這一時期。它開始於二戰結束之時，隨着1989年以蘇聯爲首的共產主義陣營解體結束。持續45年的緊張局勢中充滿了間諜活動和附庸國參與的代理人戰爭。北約成立於1949年，用於維護西方各國利益。

Russia has recently come under strong criticism over its air strikes in support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and over its role in neighbouring Ukraine, which culminated with the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula in 2014.

最近一段時間，俄羅斯因利用空襲來支持敘利亞總統阿薩德，以及在2014年吞併鄰國烏克蘭的克里米亞半島而廣受批評。

In an interview with the BBC at the same Munich conference, Mr Stoltenberg said Russia had changed borders by force and had become more assertive - and that Nato had to be able to respond to threats.

在慕尼黑會議的一次採訪中，斯托爾滕貝格表示，俄羅斯通過武力改變了疆土邊界，也變得越來越武斷，北約不得不對這些威脅有所防備。

"We are not in a cold-war situation, but also not in the partnership that we established at the end of the Cold War," Mr Stoltenberg said. Nato, he said, did not want an escalation, but enhanced political dialogue with Russia.

斯托爾滕貝格說：“我們並未處於冷戰的局面當中，現在我們也不是冷戰結束時的夥伴關係。”他還表示，北約並不想讓這種緊張關係升級，而是希望能促進與俄羅斯的政治對話。
