President Obama says a proposal to place Syrian chemical weapons under international control to avoid US military strikes could be a potential breakthrough. While the president appearing on a half dozen network news programs including CNN, had this planned speech to American people about his requested possible military action against Syria also said it remains skeptical.
奥巴马总统表示，为了避免美国的军事打击，将叙利亚化学武器置于国际监督之下的建议可能带来“突破”。总统接受了包括CNN在内的6个网络新闻节目的采访，他向美国民众发表演讲，讲述他对叙利亚采取军事行动的要求，并称他持怀疑态度。
"It's possible if it's real, and I think it's certainly passive evolvement when the Russians and the Syrians both make gestures towards dealing with these chemical weapons. This is why we've been asking for, not just over the last week or the last month, but for the last couple of years."
“如果这是真的那是有可能的，我认为这肯定是被动的发展，而俄罗斯和叙利亚共同为处理这些化学武器做出了表示。这是为什么我们要质问的原因，不仅仅是质问上周或是上个月的事件，而是过去几年间发生的事情。”
Whoever the president also has not rolled out the possible military strike against Syria for the country's alleged use of chemical weapons against its own people. Several polls out today indicate the majority of American people are opposed to such action.

联合国秘书长潘基文接受记者采访时表示，联合国安理会在处理叙利亚长达两年半的冲突问题上，陷入了令人尴尬的瘫痪状态。据琳达·法素罗报道，潘基文还表示，如果联合国调查人员结束了对叙利亚8月21日使用化武的调查，那就是安理会迅速采取行动的时候了。
Ban stressed that the security council members must unite to respond to any use of chemical weapons and that there must be universal condemnation. He made clear that he would call on the council to demand that Syria immediately transfer its chemical weapons and the chemicals used in making those weapons to a safe place inside Syria where they would be destroyed under international supervision. The UN chief also noted that Syria would have to agree to the arrangement. For NPR News, Linda Fasulo in New York.
潘基文强调，安理会成员国必须团结起来，共同回应任何使用化学武器的行为，这种行为必定会受到全世界的谴责。他表明，他会敦促安理会要求叙利亚将化学武器及原料库存转移至叙境内能够安全存放和销毁的地点，而这些都要在国际社会的监管之下。联合国秘书长提出，叙利亚会同意这种安排。NPR新闻，琳达·法素罗纽约报道。
