阿聯酋官員喊話卡塔爾 放棄世界盃化解危機?

A top United Arab Emirates security official has said the only way for Qatar's crisis to end is Doha giving up hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup, his comments coming amid the ongoing diplomatic dispute between Qatar and four Arab countries.

阿拉伯聯合酋長國一名高級安全官員近日稱，終結卡塔爾危機的唯一途徑是多哈放棄舉辦2022年國際足聯世界盃。他發表這番言論時，正值卡塔爾和四個阿拉伯國家在鬧外交糾紛。

Dubai security chief Dhahi Khalfan, known for being outspoken on Twitter, later wrote his "personal analysis" of what he described as the financial pressure Doha faces in hosting the games had been misunderstood.

以在推特上直言不諱而聞名的迪拜安全部長達西·哈勒凡之後寫道，這只是他對於卡塔爾舉辦世界盃所面臨的財政壓力的“個人分析”，其意思被外界曲解了。

But his remarks came as lobbying firms backed by the four nations opposing Qatar in the diplomatic dispute increasingly target the upcoming soccer competition in their criticism.

但在這場外交糾紛中，反對卡塔爾的遊說公司正越來越多地將即將舉辦的這項足球賽作爲批評對象。

Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates all cut diplomatic ties and began a boycott of Qatar on June, over allegations that Doha supports extremists and undermines regional security.

今年6月，巴林、埃及、沙特阿拉伯和阿聯酋指責卡塔爾支持極端分子和破壞地區安全，紛紛與之斷交併對其進行抵制。

Qatar has long denied funding extremists and restored full diplomatic ties to Iran amid the dispute. Doha shares a massive offshore natural gas field with Iran that makes its citizens incredibly wealthy.

卡塔爾方面則一直否認了資助極端分子，並在此次爭端中恢復了與伊朗的全面外交關係。多哈方面通過與伊朗共享一個巨大的海上天然氣田，而使其國民極爲富有。

Hassan al-Thawadi, Qatar World Cup supreme committee secretary-general, told the AP that the tournament will go ahead as scheduled.

卡塔爾世界盃最高委員會祕書長哈桑·阿爾-塔瓦迪告知美國聯合通訊社，該項錦標賽會如期舉行。

"We are aiming to make sure that this World Cup leaves a legacy for the people of the Middle East (and) is an opportunity to transform our region towards a sustainable and stable future," he said.

他說：“我們的目標是確保本屆世界盃給中東人民留下一份遺產，（而且）這是一個將我們的地區轉變爲可持續和穩定的未來的機會。”
