We`ve got a story related to Earth Day coming up this April 22.

4月22號(hào)的新聞我們有一條與地球日有關(guān)的新聞。

First up, though, the U.S. is deploying warships to the waters near Yemen. The Middle Eastern country has been at civil war since Houthi rebels took over Yemeni government buildings earlier this year.

首先，美國(guó)向也門海域附近部署了軍艦。今年自從胡塞叛軍占領(lǐng)也門政府大樓之后，中東國(guó)家就一直處于內(nèi)戰(zhàn)之中。

International officials say the Houthis are supported by Iran and Iran is believed to be sending a convoy of several ships to Yemen, ships that some officials suspect may be carrying weapons to the Houthis.

國(guó)際官員稱胡塞叛軍受到伊朗方面的支持，并且可能將會(huì)向也門地區(qū)增派數(shù)艘運(yùn)載武器船只。

Nine vessels from the U.S. Navy, along with ships from Saudi Arabia, Egypt and others, are monitoring the waters near Yemen. They`re prepared to intercept the Iranian ships, if necessary.

來自美國(guó)海軍和沙特，埃及和其他國(guó)家的九艘船只正在對(duì)也門附近海域進(jìn)行監(jiān)視。有必要的話將會(huì)對(duì)伊朗運(yùn)輸船只進(jìn)行攔截。

An Iranian Naval official says Iran`s ships in the area are there legally to fight piracy and protect commerce.

一位伊朗海軍軍官說該地區(qū)伊朗運(yùn)輸船只是依法展開打擊海上搶劫，保護(hù)商業(yè)往來行動(dòng)。

All this is raising tensions between the U.S. and Iran weeks after an international agreement was announced concerning Iran`s controversial nuclear program.

所有這些舉動(dòng)使得美國(guó)和伊朗之間關(guān)系越來越緊張。而現(xiàn)在距達(dá)成備受爭(zhēng)議的伊朗核問題國(guó)際協(xié)議僅過去了幾周的時(shí)間。
