【答案解析】[听力原文]
The US Secretary of State is visiting Athens. John Kerry met with the Greek Foreign Minister to discuss security after the recent development in Syria and last month's Paris attacks. Also on the agenda was Greece's relations with Turkey, Turkey's relations with Russia, energy and Europe's refugee crisis. "We can not only resolve the problem of refugees but frankly do the most to encourage the prosperity and the stability of this region and to be able to bring in a greater security to the citizens of this country and others. We are going to do everything in our power to push that over the course of the next several weeks." Kerry told Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras that the US wants to be as helpful as it can to see Greece emerge from its economic crisis and debt challenges. Kerry's visit came at a moment where Greece is seeking ways to deal with the ever increasing influx of migrants as well as its continuing economic problems. In both cases the presence alone of the US Secretary of State in Athens could help Prime Minister Tsipras in the political bargaining with his European counterparts at least in a symbolic way.
Q: What is on the agenda of the US-Greece's discussion?
美国国务卿正在访问雅典。约翰·克里与希腊外交部长会面讨论了安全问题,在此之前,叙利亚局势有所发展,而巴黎上个月遭受了袭击。会谈议程还包括希腊与土耳其的关系、土耳其与俄罗斯的关系以及能源问题和欧洲难民危机。“我们不仅能解决难民问题,而且坦率地说,我们会尽全力来促进这一地区的繁荣和稳定。我们能为这个国家及其他国家的公民带来更大的安全保障。未来几周,我们会尽可能去推动这一进程。”克里告诉希腊总理亚历克斯·齐普拉斯说,美国会尽可能地帮助希腊摆脱经济危机和债务挑战。克里访问希腊时,希腊正在寻找方法以解决不断增长的移民和持续的经济问题。对于这两个问题,美国国务卿出现在雅典本身将有助于齐普拉斯总理与欧洲伙伴国进行的政治谈判,至少是象征性的帮助。
