President Barack Obama landed in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, but his welcome crew at the airport probably wasn't what he expected.
周三,奧巴馬總統抵達沙特阿拉伯,但機場的接待人員可能不是他期望的。
Saudi Arabia's King Salman didn't greet the president at the airport, nor did any senior members of the royal family. Instead, he was greeted by the local governor.
沙特阿拉伯國王薩爾曼沒有在機場接見奧巴馬,也沒有任何皇家高級官員。相反,當地州長接見了他。
These two leaders have been drifting apart, have dissimilar doctrines and strategically view things in a much different light. And that is straining everything. And I think what we saw at the airport today is symbolic of that.
兩國領導人一直疏遠,有著不同的教義,戰略上看待事情有著完全不同的眼光。這使得一切變得緊張,我想今天機場看到的就是一種象征。
Obama did meet with King Salman to kick off his visit to Saudi Arabia. The two leaders discussed a variety of topics, including the fight against ISIS, social challenges in the region and Iran's recent actions.
奧巴馬會見了國王薩爾曼,開始他的沙特阿拉伯之行。兩國領導人討論各種話題,包括打擊ISIS,地區社會挑戰以及伊朗最近的行動。
This is Obama's fourth trip to the country. He hosted King Salman at the White House in September of last year.
這是奧巴馬第四次訪問沙特。去年九月他在白宮款待了國王薩爾曼。
