In the days, weeks, and months ahead, the arrangements to remove chemical weapons from Syria will, one hopes, begin a new era in which the US and Russia work together on other pressing global issues as well. A cooperative US-Russia relationship is essential if the international system, now almost dysfunctional, is to work properly in the future.
在未来几天、几周、几个月中，我们希望，让化学武器在叙利亚消失的安排能够开启一个新时代，美国和俄罗斯在其他紧迫的全球问题上也能携手共事。如果濒于失调的国际体系要想在未来继续正常运转的话，合作的美俄关系是至关重要的。
