Relations between the USA and Cuba took a step towards becoming more normal on Friday when the leaders of the two countries, Raul Castro and Barack Obama, shook hands. They met briefly at the Summit of the Americas in Panama. This is a meeting for countries in North, Central and South America to discuss a better future for their continents. The historic handshake will help the USA and Cuba end their bitterness towards each other. The two countries have barely spoken for more than 50 years. America banned its citizens from visiting Cuba and banned most Cuban goods from being exported to the USA. Over a decade ago, the USA declared Cuba was a sponsor of international terrorism.

周五，古巴領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人勞爾·卡斯特羅和美國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人巴拉克·奧巴馬握手，兩國的關(guān)系將向正常化邁進(jìn)。兩國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人在巴拿馬美洲國家首腦會(huì)議上進(jìn)行了簡短會(huì)晤。這一會(huì)議囊括了中北美地區(qū)，以及南美地區(qū)的國家，會(huì)議的目的是商討南美的未來發(fā)展。這一歷史性的握手將幫助美古結(jié)束雙方的對峙狀態(tài)。在過去的50多年里，美古兩國很少進(jìn)行對話。美國禁止公民進(jìn)入古巴，并嚴(yán)禁進(jìn)口絕大部分古巴物品。10多年前，美國宣稱古巴是國際恐怖主義的支持者。

Castro and Obama are expected to have a sit-down meeting. They will discuss how to make sure their countries can have a better future together. The meeting will be the highest-level talks between the USA and Cubasince Richard Nixon and Fidel Castro met in 1959. A US security advisor said: "The reason we're here is that the President strongly believes that an approach that was focused…totally on seeking to cut off the Cuban people from the USA had failed." President Obama said: "I think the Cuban people are extraordinary andhave huge potential.And what's encouraging is the overwhelming majority of Cubans are interested in…moving forward." The two countries are only 151 km apart.

美古兩國預(yù)計(jì)將進(jìn)行會(huì)晤。他們將在如何建立美好未來上進(jìn)行磋商。這次會(huì)議將是即1959年尼克松和卡斯特羅會(huì)晤以來的最高級(jí)別會(huì)晤。美國安全顧問稱：“我們來到這里的原因是總統(tǒng)堅(jiān)信讓古巴人民遠(yuǎn)離美國的做法是失敗的。”總統(tǒng)奧巴馬認(rèn)為：“我認(rèn)為古巴人民非常了不起，他們的潛力無限。最鼓舞人心的是絕大部分古巴人民都希望更進(jìn)一步。”兩國之間的距離只相差151公里。
