美國仍是世界比較大武器輸出國

　　The United States continues to hold the title of the world’s top weapons exporter, supplying almost $23 billion worth of weapons to other countries last year – particularly in the Middle East – according to a new report by IHS Jane's.

　　簡氏防務(wù)周刊發(fā)表的一份新報告說，美國仍然是世界上最大的武器輸出國，去年出口了價值接近230億美元的武器，主要出口地區(qū)是中東。

　　Its annual Global Defense Trade Report released on Sunday showed the global defense market rose by $6.6 billion in 2015, up to a total of $65 billion.

　　簡氏防務(wù)周刊星期日發(fā)表全球防務(wù)貿(mào)易年度報告說，全球防務(wù)市場貿(mào)易額2015年增長了66億美元，總額達到650億美元。

　　“The global defense trade market has never seen an increase as large as the one we saw between 2014 and 2015,” said Ben Moores, senior analyst at IHS. “2015 was a record-breaking year.”

　　簡氏防務(wù)周刊分析家莫里斯說，全球防務(wù)貿(mào)易市場的交易額從來不曾有過這樣大的增長幅度，2015年創(chuàng)了記錄。

　　French arms sales more than doubled in 2015 from the year before, rising from $8 billion to $18 billion. If that rate continues, the report said, France will overtake Russia as the second largest defense exporter by 2018.

　　報告說，法國的武器銷售額2015年增長了一倍多，從80億美元猛增到180億美元。報告說，如果按此速度發(fā)展下去，法國2018年將超過俄羅斯，成為全球第二大武器輸出國。

　　The increase in global arms sales last year was driven largely by increased demand from countries in the Middle East, which dominated the top of the list and received around $21.6 billion worth of equipment deliveries, including $8.8 billion from the U.S.

　　全球軍火貿(mào)易去年增長的主要原因是中東國家的需求增加。中東國家去年購進價值約216億美元的武器裝備，其中88億美元的武器來自美國。
