  Recriminations about US efforts to broker aceasefire between Israel and Gaza grew on Monday,even though the tempo of fighting was reduced.

  尽管以色列和哈马斯间的战火有所减弱,但美国国务卿美国国务卿约翰•克里(John Kerry)在两者间的调停努力在周一仍然引发了更大的舆论反弹。

  US secretary of state John Kerry returned toWashington on Sunday after a week of shuttlediplomacy in the Middle East that failed to bring anend to the 21-day conflict, which has already left1,050 people dead.

  在中东开展了一周的穿梭外交之后,克里周日返回了华盛顿。不过,他此次斡旋没能终结这一轮已延续21天、导致1050人丧生的冲突。

  Instead, Mr Kerry’s efforts have resulted in a rift between the Obama administration and theIsraeli government that could lead to more international pressure on Israel. This will make itharder still for the secretary of state to fulfil his goal of brokering a longer-term solution to theIsraeli-Palestinian conflict.

  相反,克里之行导致奥巴马(Obama)政府和以色列政府之间出现了裂痕。这一裂痕可能会让以色列面临更大国际压力,也令克里更难以通过外交斡旋为巴以冲突找到一个更长期的解决方案。

  Despite the lull in fighting, the conflict is becoming intractable: Hamas in Gaza demands aneasing of economic restrictions while Israel wants to continue attacking the network of tunnelsthat Hamas has developed.

  尽管双方交火正在减少,但这次冲突正变得不可调和:加沙地带的哈马斯(Hamas)要求以方放宽经济封锁,而以色列则想继续打击哈马斯挖掘的地道网络。
