2020考研英语时事阅读:俄罗斯S400“买定了”

Defying strenuous American objections and the threat of sanctions, Turkey began receiving the first shipment of a sophisticated Russian surface-to-air missile system on Friday, a step certain to test the country's uneasy place in the NATO alliance. The system, called the S-400, includes advanced radar to detect aircraft and other targets, and the United States has been unyielding in its opposition to Turkey's acquisition of the equipment, which is deeply troubling to Washington on several levels.

It puts Russian technology inside the territory of a key NATO ally — one from which strikes into Syria have been staged. The Russian engineers who will be required to set up the system, American officials fear, will have an opportunity to learn much about the American-made fighter jets that are also part of Turkey's arsenal.

That is one reason the Trump administration has already moved to block the delivery of the F-35 stealth fighter jet, one of the United States' most advanced aircraft, to Turkey, and has suspended the training of its pilots, who were learning how to fly it.

【译文】

违背着美国强烈的反对意见以及制裁威胁，土耳其于周五开始接收第一批精密的俄罗斯地对空导弹系统，这一步确定了该国在北约联盟中不安的位置。这个名为S-400的系统包括用于探测飞机和其他目标的先进雷达，美国一直坚决反对土耳其购买该设备，这在几个层面上让华盛顿深感不满。

它将俄罗斯技术置于一个关键的北约盟友的领土内 - 袭击叙利亚的事件也已经发生过。美国官员担心，将要求建立该系统的俄罗斯工程师将有机会了解属于土耳其军火一部分的美国制造的战斗机。

这就是特朗普政府已经采取措施阻止将F-35隐形战斗机(美国先进的飞机之一)运往土耳其的原因之一，并暂停了对飞行员的培训，他们正在学习如何飞行F-35隐形战斗机。
