白俄罗斯的新当选总统卢卡申科 |
| 2. | Last week the president also mooted the idea of creating a union with ukraine , a country he previously regarded as a dangerous incubator of revolution
上周，卢卡申科总统还提议与乌克兰、这个他此前视为孕育革命温床的危险国家结成同盟。 |
| 3. | His true score of 93 % , mr lukashenka explained , would not have been acceptable to the european union , so a few points were lopped off
卢卡申科先生解释说，他真正的得票率为93 % ，但鉴于这一结果不会得到欧盟的承认，因此他砍掉了几个百分点。 |
| 4. | On january 10th , after the presidents talked on the telephone , mr lukashenka blinked ; the transit fee was lifted ; and oil began to flow again before europe was seriously affected
在两国总统通电话后的1月10号，卢卡申科总统尝到了甜头；石油过境费取消了；在欧洲受到严重影响前石油再次在管道流动起来。 |
| 5. | Until last year they were criticised for coddling mr lukashenka with preferential gas terms ? and belarus ' s re - export of duty - free russian oil was , as one foreign observer in minsk puts it , an obvious “ scam ”
直到去年，他们因以天然气优惠条款庇护卢卡申科总统而饱受批评白俄罗斯再出口免税的俄罗斯石油被一位在明斯克外国观察家冠以一个明显的"骗局“ 。 |
| 6. | In minsk this week mr lukashenka hosted a summit of the commonwealth of independent states ? a forum for all ex - soviet countries , bar the baltic three , that many now privately think is redundant
本周在明斯克，卢卡申科总统主持了一个独联体联邦的高级领导人峰会? ?这是一个后苏联时代的独联体国家领导人论坛，但是没有波罗的海三国参加，因为许多人现在都认为他们是多余的。 |
| 7. | That was a clue to his real motive : anxiety about a threatened quadrupling of the price that belarus pays for russian gas , from the low rate that has hitherto subsidised the economy ? and thus mr lukashenka ' s whole regime
这有助于理解他的真实动机：即对白俄罗斯可能将支付4倍的价格购买俄罗斯天然气感到忧虑，而迄今为止低廉的价格一直对白经济形成补贴，进而支撑着卢卡申科先生的整个政权。 |
| 8. | Until last year they were criticised for coddling mr lukashenka with preferential gas terms ? and belarus ' s re - export of duty - free russian oil was , as one foreign observer in minsk puts it , an obvious “ scam ”
去年以前，人们一直批评俄罗斯人在天然气问题上明显关照卢卡申科，让他享受了不少特惠政策? ?而且，正如明斯克一位外国观察家指出，白俄罗斯转手输出俄罗斯的免税石油（对俄罗斯而言）是一种明显的“欺诈行为” 。 |
| 9. | The modest economic growth that mr lukashenka terms the “ belarus economic miracle ” ? which along with his total control of the media and harassment of opponents has shored up his regime ? has in fact been largely based on massively discounted russian gas imports
一直以来，在卢卡申科的任期内，白俄罗斯呈现了有条不紊的经济增长，被称作“白俄罗斯经济奇迹” ，这除了要归功于卢卡申科对媒体的完全掌控和对政敌的钳制政策，使其政权能不断得到巩固外，事实上大部分都有赖于俄罗斯天然气价格的高度优惠政策。 |
