卡斯楚轉載《紐時》社論
Fidel Castro reprints NY Times embargo editorial
Fidel Castro has reprinted a New York Times editorial calling for the end of the U.S. embargo on Cuba.
菲德爾‧卡斯楚轉載了《紐約時報》上一篇呼籲美國終止對古巴禁運的社論。
In an unusual move, the 88-year-old Cuban leader quotes the 1,057-word article almost word-for-word in his own editorial printed in state media Tuesday,omitting only one sentence about his government's release of political prisoners and another about U.S.-Cuban cooperation.
這名現年88歲的古巴領導人周二時，將該1057字的文章幾乎一字不改地轉載在國營媒體上，是一項不尋常的舉動。卡斯楚只有刪掉兩句話，一句關於古巴政府釋放政治犯，另一句關於美國和古巴間的合作。
He says the Times appears to be ``laying out the most suitable political position for its country's interests'' and describes the U.S. as having ``growing political, economic, financial and commercial problems.''
卡斯楚說，《紐時》顯然地「說出最符合美國利益的政治立場」。還指出美國有「漸增的政治、經濟、財務和傳播問題」。
Cuba is suffering from years of economic stagnation that the country blames on the U.S. embargo, which bars most American companies from doing business on the island. Castro last appeared in an official photo in August but regularly publishes editorial columns.
美國禁止許多公司和古巴做生意，使得古巴這幾年美貿易禁運而飽受經濟不景氣之苦。卡斯楚最近一次的公開露面是在八月發布的照片上，目前經常為專欄寫評論。
