First up, the troubled relationship between Russia and the U.S. seems to be getting worse. On Monday, Russia announced that it was suspending part of an agreement with America focused on reducing the two countries` nuclear weapons.

头条新闻，已陷入困境的美俄关系似乎又陷入僵局。周一，俄罗斯宣布暂停与美国减少两国核武器的部分协议内容。

The agreement was signed in the year 2000. It was for the two nations to get rid of their extra plutonium, an element that could be used to make nuclear weapons. But because of what it called "unfriendly actions" by the U.S., Russia said the deal was suspended. Analysts say it`s mostly a symbolic move that follows a series of recent disagreements between the two countries.

该协议于2000年签署。这是关于关闭所有的产钚堆达成协议，钚元素可以用于制造核武器。但是，由于美国称俄罗斯为“不友善行为”，俄罗斯表示终止协议。分析人士表示此举动可能表明，未来两国将会有更多分歧。

The U.S. also made an announcement concerning Russia, that it was suspending talks with the country over ending the violence in Syria. You might remember that Russia and the U.S. organized a short-lived ceasefire there. The U.S. blamed Russia for making commitments in Syria that it didn`t follow, but America says it`s still looking for ways to find peace in Syria.

美国也对俄罗斯发表声明，表示将暂停与俄罗斯关于终止叙利亚暴力问题的所有会谈。俄罗斯和美国曾对叙利亚停火问题作出努力。美国谴责俄罗斯不遵守之前的承诺，但美国表示仍会继续为叙利亚和平找到解决的办法。

A U.S. State Department spokesperson said the decision to end talks with Russia was not linked to Russia`s suspension of the plutonium agreement.

美国国务院发言人表示，终止与俄罗斯谈话此决定与俄罗斯暂停钚协议无关。
