美驻阿指挥官被令回国解释批评政府言论

The top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan is being summoned to Washington to explain critical comments he and his staff have made about President Barack Obama and other members of the administration.

美军驻阿富汗最高指挥官麦克里斯特尔将军被召回华盛顿，要求他就其本人和部下对奥巴马总统和其他政府官员的批评作出解释。

In an article published in the latest issue of the popular U.S.-based Rolling Stone magazine, aides to General Stanley McChrystal say he dismissed his first Oval Office meeting with Mr. Obama as nothing more than a "10-minute photo op."

在美国流行杂志《滚石》最新一期刊载的文章中，麦克里斯特尔的助手们说，这位将军把自己和奥巴马在椭圆形办公室首次会面说成不过是一次“十分钟的照相机会”。

The aides also heaped scorn on U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, who favored a far more limited approach in Afghanistan than the one McChrystal advocated.

这些助理在谈及副总统拜登时也表现出轻蔑的态度。拜登主张的对阿富汗政策比麦克里斯特尔支持的政策局限性更大。

A spokesman for U.S. Military Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen says the admiral has expressed his "deep disappointment" about the comments. The spokesman says Mullen spoke to McChrystal late Monday.

美军参谋长联席会议主席迈克尔.马伦上将的发言人称，马伦上将对这些言论表示“非常失望”。这名发言人还说，马伦和麦克里斯特尔星期一晚上进行了交谈。
