　　昨日，伊拉克总统任命了一位新总理来取代努里•马利基(Nouri al-Maliki)，此举加剧了伊拉克的政治危机。在伊拉克政府与伊斯兰叛军进行激烈战斗之际，这一新动态让人们不禁担心伊拉克会陷入旷日持久的权力斗争。

　　In a major blow to Mr Maliki, the largest grouping inparliament nominated Haidar al-Abadi, a member ofMr Maliki’s own Shia-dominated party, as prime minister-designate. The decision was quicklyendorsed by the recently installed President Fouad Masoum.

　　伊拉克国会中最大的党团联盟提名海德尔•阿巴迪(Haidar al-Abadi)为总理人选，给马利基造成沉重打击。这个决定迅速得到近期当选的总统福阿德•马苏姆(Fouad Masoum)的支持。阿巴迪来自马利基领导的什叶派占主导的政党。

　　The power struggle in Baghdad highlights the deep divisions within the country’s Shia politicaland religious establishment over the fate of Mr Maliki, who has insisted on retaining thepremiership despite widespread opposition.

　　巴格达上演的权力斗争凸显出，伊拉克什叶派政治和宗教权势集团在马利基前途一事上存在严重分歧。尽管遭到广泛的反对，马利基仍拒绝放弃总理职位。

　　Sunni, Kurdish and rival Shia blocs blame Mr Maliki for the sectarian and ethnic splits thatpaved the way for a two-month offensive by militants fighting with the Islamic State of Iraqand the Levant, known as Isis.

　　逊尼派、库尔德人以及与他们对立的什叶派群体指责马利基造成了教派和族群分裂，导致“伊拉克和黎凡特伊斯兰国”(Isis)武装分子发动了已历时两个月的进攻。

　　A ceremony to endorse Mr Maliki’s replacement was attended by the Sunni speaker ofparliament and top Shia politicians in a sign of cross-sectarian support for his removal. It wasalso broadcast on state TV – long seen as under the control of Mr Maliki.

　　伊拉克国会议长(逊尼派)以及什叶派高层政治人士出席了支持新总理的一个仪式，反映出两大教派对将马利基赶下台的支持。这个仪式还在国家电视台得到播出——长期以来，该电视台一直被认为是由马利基控制的。

　　Mr Maliki immediately challenged the attempt to unseat him, issuing a letter rejecting theauthority of the National Alliance, which includes dozens of defecting members of his own bloc.

　　马利基迅速针对把他赶下台的企图发起了挑战，发表了一封公开信拒绝承认“全国联盟”(National Alliance)的权威。该党团联盟包括几十名从马利基阵营倒戈的成员。

　　It remains unclear whether Mr Maliki will remain in his post while his successor tries to form agovernment, although there were fears he could use force to retain the premiership amidreports of a bolstered security presence on the streets of Baghdad. Mr Maliki has consolidatedhis control over the security services during his eight years in power.

　　目前还不清楚马利基是否会继续担任总理，但其继任者已在尝试组阁，尽管有人担心马利基会使用武力以留任总理——据报道，巴格达街头的安保力量有所增强。马利基在掌权的八年里巩固了其对安全部门的控制。

　　联合国驻伊拉克特使尼古拉•姆拉德诺夫(Nickolay Mladenov)也对阿巴迪的获任表示支持。
