NEW YORK, Apr 14 (Reuters) - Big power envoys met on Wednesday to pursue the quest for fresh U.N. sanctions to try to halt Iran's nuclear program, but diplomats forecast weeks of haggling over a text the Security Council can pass.

1：big power指“大國(guó)”,聯(lián)想到“大國(guó)強(qiáng)權(quán)政治”：big-power politics；相對(duì)應(yīng)的，“小國(guó)”：a small country或者ministate、microstate（都能表示超小國(guó)家）。“小國(guó)霸權(quán)主義者”：junior hegemonist。

2：pursue可以翻譯為“追趕（可以與after連用），進(jìn)行，貫徹，從事于……”，它翻譯為“追求”也較為常見(jiàn)。有部非常有名的電影，《當(dāng)幸福來(lái)敲門》的英文名，是“pursue happiness”。

3：quest for理解為探尋、設(shè)法找到

4：haggle over sth 對(duì)某事?tīng)?zhēng)論不休。看個(gè)例句：They spent hours haggling over the price.他們?cè)趦r(jià)格問(wèn)題上爭(zhēng)論了好幾個(gè)小時(shí)。

聯(lián)想到：haggle over every ounce 斤斤計(jì)較；再看這個(gè)例句：Introvert, haggle over every ounce, coward of recreant be afraid of getting into trouble, disposition, become nightmare easily.性格內(nèi)向、斤斤計(jì)較、膽小怕事、性格懦弱的人，易做惡夢(mèng)。

Ambassadors from the five permanent members of the council and Germany gathered at the U.S. mission to the United Nations for their second meeting in a week since China, which has close economic ties with Iran, agreed to join the talks.

1：the five permanent members of the council= the five permanent members of the Security Council安理會(huì)五大常任理事國(guó)（美俄中英法）

2：economic ties經(jīng)濟(jì)紐帶、經(jīng)濟(jì)聯(lián)系。 例句：In a joint statement they pledged to "realise the normalisation of cross-strait economic ties".在聯(lián)合聲明中他們宣稱致力于實(shí)現(xiàn)兩岸經(jīng)濟(jì)合作的友好關(guān)系。

China's Li Baodong told reporters, "We have a very important consultation with a focus on diplomacy."

Russia's Vitaly Churkin said, "I expect a good discussion," adding that he expected the talks to go on "for a while."

The envoys were discussing a U.S. draft resolution, first circulated weeks ago, that provides for a fourth round of sanctions on Iran for its refusal to stop uranium enrichment. The West accuses Tehran of seeking to produce atomic arms but Tehran says it aims only to generate electricity.

1：draft resolution提議，決議草案。draft意思為起草，草圖。這個(gè)詞意義諸多，可以仔細(xì)看看。

2：uranium enrichment鈾濃縮

3：generate electricity發(fā)電，相應(yīng)發(fā)電廠：power plant，power house， power station。

這里還需要知道，伊朗在辯稱時(shí)說(shuō)自己進(jìn)行鈾濃縮，是為了“民用”：civilian use，對(duì)應(yīng)的“軍用”：military use

The draft proposes new curbs on Iranian banking, a full arms embargo, tougher measures against Iranian shipping, moves against members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and a ban on new investments in Iran's energy sector.

1：curbs:控制，限制

2：arms embargo：武器禁運(yùn)，軍火禁運(yùn)

3：a ban on 禁止：

同樣看一個(gè)例句：In April, Canada became the first country to propose a ban on plastic baby bottles that contain BPA.四月，加拿大成為第一個(gè)頒布法律禁止使用含有BPA的塑料奶瓶的國(guó)家。

But diplomats told Reuters that China's Li had indicated displeasure at（這個(gè)用法，可以學(xué)學(xué)） the proposals affecting Iran's energy sector at a first meeting last Thursday with his U.S., British, French, German and Russian counterparts.

Other diplomats said that meeting had been largely confined to statements of opening positions by the ambassadors and that the hard work of agreeing to a text remained to be done.

U.S. President Barack Obama pressed 46 countries attending a nuclear security summit in Washington on Tuesday for swift sanctions on Iran but acknowledged China had concerns about（常用詞） the economic impact and said negotiations were difficult.

Iran is the third largest crude oil supplier to energy-hungry China.

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, visiting Peru, hinted Washington might not insist on the toughest possible sanctions, saying the importance of a resolution was "less the specific content than the isolation of Iran by the rest of the world."
