在线英语听力室 (2009-08-10)  字体: [ ]  

  Colombian President Alvaro Uribe has received tacit support from Brazil for his plans to allow US troops(部队) to use Colombian military bases.
  Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorim said it considered the agreement to be a sovereign Colombian matter.
  Peru also expressed support, while Chile and Paraguay said the accord was a matter for Colombia. Ecuador, Bolivia and Uruguay expressed disapproval(不赞成、反对).
  Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has cut ties with Colombia over the plan.
  Mr Chavez has said he fears the move amounts to preparation for an invasion of his country by US forces.
  President Uribe has visited several of his South American neighbours over the past three days in a bid to calm fears over his decision to open seven military bases to US forces.
  We reiterated the agreement with the United States is something naturally for Colombia's sovereigntyCelso AmorimBrazilian Foreign MinisterChavez fumes at ColombiaWashington wants to use Colombia as a regional hub for operations to counter drug-trafficking and terrorism.
  The US has been forced to look for a new base for such operations after Ecuador refused to renew the lease on its Manta base, which the US military was using.
  "We reiterated that the agreement with the United States, which is limited to Colombian territory, is something naturally (自然)for Colombia's sovereignty," Brazil's foreign minister said after Thursday's talks.
  But during his two-hour meeting with Mr Uribe, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said the matter could have been handled more transparently, according to Brazilian media.
  Hugo Chavez is a vocal opponent (对手)of Colombia's accord with the USThe Brazilian leader is also said to have asked for guarantees that the actions of US troops would be restricted to Colombian territory.
  The BBC's Gary Duffy in Sao Paulo says concern has been expressed in Brazil about the proximity of US forces to the River Amazon, an issue always of great sensitivity to Brasilia.
  Even US President Barack Obama's National Security Adviser, James Jones, conceded on a visit to Brazil this week that a better job could have been done when it came to preparing the ground for the agreement, our correspondent adds.
  During this week's whirlwind tour of Latin America, Mr Uribe steered clear of Ecuador and Venezuela, both of which have tense relations with Bogota and Washington.
  Mr Uribe has accused Ecuador and Venezuela's leftist leaders of links with the rebel Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc), who have been seeking to overthrow the Colombian governments for 45 years.
  Colombia's accord with the US is expected to be raised again when Ecuador hosts a regional summit on 10 August. Mr Uribe and his foreign minister do not plan to attend.(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
