Israel has unveiled a controversial new plan for settlement expansion, putting further strain on the peace process. The announcement may be connected to a deadly Palestinian terrorist attack last week.

以色列公布了一項(xiàng)引發(fā)爭(zhēng)議的擴(kuò)大定居點(diǎn)的新計(jì)劃，這使得和平進(jìn)程進(jìn)一步緊張化。以色列宣布這項(xiàng)計(jì)劃可能和一些巴勒斯坦人上周發(fā)動(dòng)造成傷亡的恐怖襲擊有關(guān)。

Israeli Housing Minister Ze'ev Boim announced that Israel plans to build more than 1,000 new homes in the occupied territories. He said the plan includes 350 apartments in Givat Ze'ev, a West Bank settlement near Jerusalem, and 750 homes in Pisgat Ze'ev, a settlement in East Jerusalem.

以色列住房建設(shè)部長(zhǎng)波依姆宣布，計(jì)劃在占領(lǐng)區(qū)建造1千多處新住房。他說，這項(xiàng)計(jì)劃包括在耶路撒冷附近、約旦河西岸吉瓦特.齊夫定居點(diǎn)的350套公寓和在東耶路撒冷的皮斯加特.齊夫定居點(diǎn)的750棟住房。

"We continue according to our plans, and there are no limitations," said Ze'ev Boim.

波依姆說：“我們按照計(jì)劃繼續(xù)擴(kuò)建，并不存在任何限制。”

The new homes will be built on land the Palestinians seek for a future state. Both the Palestinians and the United States say settlement construction violates the "road map" peace plan, which is the foundation for new peace talks. Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat.

這批新住房將建造在巴勒斯坦人爭(zhēng)取成為未來本國(guó)領(lǐng)土的地點(diǎn)。巴勒斯坦人和美國(guó)都認(rèn)為建造定居點(diǎn)違反中東和平路線圖，而這個(gè)路線圖是未來和談的基礎(chǔ)。巴勒斯坦談判人員埃雷卡特說：

"This decision is undermining all efforts being exerted to revive the peace process," said Saeb Erekat.

“這項(xiàng)決定破壞了為恢復(fù)中東和平進(jìn)程而進(jìn)行的一切努力。”

Israel says it reserves the right to build in East Jerusalem and settlement blocs, which it says will remain a part of Israel in any final peace agreement with the Palestinians.

以色列說，它保留在東耶路撒冷等定居點(diǎn)建造住房的權(quán)利，這些地方在與巴勒斯坦人達(dá)成的任何最終和平協(xié)議中都將是以色列領(lǐng)土的一部分。

Announcement of the settlement expansion came just three days after a Palestinian gunman attacked a Jewish seminary in Jerusalem and killed eight young students. The seminary was a bastion of the settlement movement in the West Bank.

在宣布擴(kuò)大定居點(diǎn)決定的3天前，一名巴勒斯坦槍手襲擊了耶路撒冷的一個(gè)猶太教神學(xué)院，殺死了8名青年學(xué)生。這所神學(xué)院是在約旦河西岸建設(shè)猶太人定居點(diǎn)的主要支持者。

Israeli media say the construction plan is Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's way of appeasing the settlers and right-wing members of his government.

以色列媒體說，奧爾默特總理試圖以擴(kuò)建定居點(diǎn)計(jì)劃安撫定居點(diǎn)的猶太人和政府中的右翼人士。
