导读:美国国防部长阿什·卡特与土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安会见后，决定加强军事合作，共同打击“伊斯兰国”。
U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan Friday discussed the need to increase military cooperation between the two countries in the campaign to defeat Islamic State in Syria and Iraq.
美国国防部长阿什·卡特与土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安周五讨论了两国之间为了在叙利亚和伊拉克打击“伊斯兰国”而加强军事合作的需要。
Carter arrived Friday in Ankara, Turkey, where he met with Erdogan and other top Turkish political and defense officials.
卡特周五抵达土耳其首都安卡拉会见埃尔多安和其他土耳其政界和军方人士。
A U.S. Defense Department statement said the leaders agreed to maintain frequent communication and close coordination among members of the coalition fighting the Islamic State terror group, to ensure a "lasting defeat" of IS.
美国国防部的声明中称，为了保证对“伊斯兰国”恐怖组织的“持续打击”，双方领导人同意在联盟中保持频繁交流和密切合作。
Carter’s trip to Ankara comes as the U.S. is increasingly worried about tensions between Turkey and Iraq surrounding the campaign to retake the Iraqi city of Mosul from IS fighters.
卡特此次土耳其之行是因为美国担忧从“伊斯兰国”武装分子手中收复伊拉克城市摩苏尔的战斗，会让土耳其和伊拉克的局势剑拔弩张。
Turkey wants to have a larger role in the battle for Iraq’s second city, but the Iraqi government is opposed to Turkish military involvement, and the U.S. fears tensions between the two countries could lead to the end of an agreement that is keeping rival sectarian and ethnic militias out of Mosul.
土耳其希望在解放伊拉克第二大城市的战斗中出于主要的地位，但是伊拉克政府反对土耳其的军事干涉，而美国担忧两国之间的紧张局势，会导致使敌对教派和武装组织远离摩苏尔的协议破裂。
Before he arrived in Turkey, Carter said he would emphasize the need for Turkey to respect Iraq’s sovereignty.
卡特在抵达土耳其之前说，他会重视土耳其尊重伊拉克领土主权的需要。
The Turkish and Iraqi governments have been feuding about the presence of Turkish troops at the Bashiqa camp north of Mosul, where 500 Turkish soldiers have been training Sunni and Kurdish fighters since last December.
土耳其和伊拉克政府在土耳其军队进驻摩苏尔北部巴什卡军营的问题上一直有摩擦。自去年12月以来，500名土耳其士兵一直在那里训练逊尼派和库尔德战士。
The Iraqi government has said the troops don’t have permission to be at the base and called for them to leave, though Turkey has refused and said the soldiers will take part in the operation to retake Mosul.
伊拉克政府称，土军队没有进入军事基地的许可，命令他们离开。但是土耳其政府表示拒绝，并称这些士兵将参与夺回摩苏尔的军事行动。
Carter also toured the Turkish parliament building that was damaged during the July coup attempt and expressed condolences to those who were killed defending the Turkish government.
卡特也参观了在六月份军事政变中被损的土耳其议会大楼，并向因保卫土耳其政府而被害的人表示哀悼。
"I think everyone there admires the heroes and the martyrs of that terrible incident. We are your strong friends, your long time allies and staunch supporters of the great democracy in Turkey," Carter said.
“我想，这里每个人都会赞美英雄和那次可怕事件的殉难者。我们是你们忠实的朋友，你们长久以来的同盟和土耳其伟大民主制度的坚定支持者。”卡特说。
