Geithner met Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Wednesday, before Wen's trip starting on Saturday to top oil supplier Saudi Arabia, whose output could be important if China turns elsewhere for crude it would otherwise buy from Iran.
本周三，盖特纳会见了中国总理温家宝，后者计划于周六前往顶级石油供应商沙特阿拉伯。如果中国计划从伊朗之外的地方购买原油，来自沙特的出口将是重要选择。
"On economic growth, on financial stability around the world, on non-proliferation, we have what we view as a very strong, cooperative relationship with your government and we are looking forward to building on that," Geithner told Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping earlier in the day.
“在经济增长、金融稳定和核不扩散领域，中美两国间有着强韧而紧密的联系。美方希望能依赖这种关系。”
Geithner is touring Asia to muster support for U.S. sanctions on oil revenues flowing to Tehran, which Western governments say wants to develop the means to make nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear program is for civilian uses, not weapons proliferation.
盖特纳的亚洲之行，意在获得对德黑兰石油收入上涨的制裁措施的支持。一些西方政府认为，石油收入的上涨，将有助于伊朗制造核武器。伊朗则表示，其核项目是民用性质，而非核扩散。
A U.S. official confirmed to Reuters that Geithner had raised Iran in his meetings in Beijing.
一名美方官员向路透社证实，在北京访问期间，盖特纳提到了伊朗。
President Barack Obama authorized a law on New Year's Eve imposing fresh sanctions on financial institutions that deal with Iran's central bank, its main clearing house for oil payments. That will make it difficult to pay for Iranian oil.
总统奥巴马在新年前夜签署了一项法案，意在实施对伊朗的新制裁措施。这项措施针对伊朗中央银行的石油贸易结算业务，加大了购买伊朗石油的难度。
Beijing is crucial to Washington's pressure on Iran: China is Iran's biggest oil customer, and has long argued that sanctions will not defuse the nuclear dispute.
在华盛顿制裁伊朗的问题上，北京的态度至关重要：中国是伊朗的最大石油进口商，并在很长一段时间里表示制裁无益于伊朗核问题的解决。
China faces pressure to go along with the U.S. sanctions by cutting what it pays for Iranian oil, if not the volume it buys.
如果不是因为购买了大量的伊朗石油，中国在追随美国制裁伊朗、削减伊朗石油进口的问题上将不会面临很大压力。
But China made it clear that, whatever the commercial or political calculations driving ups and downs in its crude orders from Iran, it rejects in principle unilateral U.S. sanctions.
然而，中国目的很明确，不论是出于商业考量还是政治考量，考虑到这会使伊朗原油订单跌宕起伏，中国反对美国的单方面制裁措施。
"Iran is also an extremely big oil supplier to China, and we hope that China's oil imports won't be affected, because this is needed for our development," Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Zhai Jun told a news conference in answer to a question about whether Beijing could curtail crude from Iran under U.S. pressure.
“伊朗也是中国非常大的石油供应商，我们希望中国的石油进口不会受影响。因为我们的发展需要石油。”在一次新闻发布会上，中国外交部副部长翟俊在回答一个有关北京是否会迫于美国压力，而缩减伊朗石油进口的问题上表示。
"We oppose applying pressure and sanctions, because these approaches won't solve the problems. They never have," Zhai told the briefing about Wen's six-day visit to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
“我们反对使用施压和制裁手段，因为这些手段解决不了问题。从来也没有。”翟俊通报了温家宝对沙特阿拉伯，阿联酋和卡塔尔为期六天的访问。
"We hope that these unilateral sanctions will not affect China's interests."
“我们希望这些单方面的制裁措施不会影响到中国的利益。”
China has backed U.N. Security Council resolutions calling on Iran to halt uranium enrichment activities, while working to ensure its energy ties are not threatened. As a permanent member of the council, China wields a veto.
在一次呼吁伊朗停止单方面的轴浓缩活动，以确保其能源利用不会造成威胁的联合国安理会决议上，作为常任理事国的一员，中国投了弃权票。
But it has said the United States and European Union should not impose sanctions beyond the U.N. resolutions.
然而，中国也表示，美国和欧盟实行的制裁措施不应当超过联合国决议的范围。
The European Union is already committed to a ban on Iranian crude, but the United States may face a tougher sell with China, Japan or India, the top three buyers of Iranian crude by country.
欧盟已准备好禁止伊朗的原油入口，然而，美国可能会遇到更为强硬的石油入口，包括中国、日本和印度，这三国是伊朗原油的最大买主。

China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin repeated the country's longstanding defense of oil and trade ties with Iran.
中国外交部发言人刘为民强调了中国一贯的捍卫石油权益的政策和中伊两国间的贸易关系。
"China is a major developing country, and it has reasonable demand for energy," Liu said at a regular news briefing.
“ 中国是一个发展中大国，有着合理的能源需求。 ”刘为民在例行新闻发布会上表示。
"It is unreasonable for a country to impose its domestic laws as overriding international law and to demand that other countries enforce it. So China believes that normal energy cooperation and reasonable demand are unrelated to the Iran nuclear issue and should not be affected," Liu said.
“一个国家为了强化其国内法案而超越国际法，并要求其他国家也一并执行，这是没有道理的。中方认为正常的能源合作是合理需求，与伊朗核问题无关，也不应受此影响。”刘为民表示http://www.ltaaa.com/wtfy/3910.htmlIran's oil revenues, rejecting Washington's sanctions on Tehran as overstepping even as Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner lobbied for Beijing's support.
