很短的一期，一定要認(rèn)真堅(jiān)持聽(tīng)寫(xiě)喔~~~

Afghanistan
Horn of Africa
Like the financial crisis, other issues also require bilateral as well as regional and global approaches. The United States is committed to maintaining our historic security alliances in Asia and building on those relationships to counter the complex global threats we face. I'm very pleased that Japan and South Korea this week agreed to joint assistance for reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan, and that both countries continue to work with us on global security, especially in combating piracy off the Horn of Africa.
除了這場(chǎng)金融危機(jī)外，其他種種議題也需要雙邊以及區(qū)域性和全球性方針。美國(guó)致力于保持我國(guó)在亞洲的傳統(tǒng)安全同盟，并以這些同盟關(guān)系為基礎(chǔ)，應(yīng)對(duì)我們面臨的錯(cuò)綜復(fù)雜的全球威脅。令我非常高興的是，日本和韓國(guó)本周已同意聯(lián)合援助阿富汗的重建努力，這兩個(gè)國(guó)家還繼續(xù)協(xié)助我們保障全球安全，特別是抗擊非洲之角的海盜活動(dòng)。
