But the issue of enrichment has been blown up into such a symbol of national sovereignty in Iran that no government there, not only the current Achmadinejad administration, will climb down.

但是浓缩问题在伊朗已经被抬高到如此一个国家主权的象征，乃至不仅仅是当前的内贾德政府，而是伊朗的任何政府都不会后退。确实，当联合国安理会在去年12月份正式要求停止浓缩项目并实施轻微的制裁之时，伊朗对抗性的回答就是增加其浓缩活动。
