希望大家周三能够过得顺利。我是Carl Azuz，非常高兴大家收看今天的CNN学生新闻。
First up, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, the leader of Iraq, visited the White House yesterday. One major focus of his visit: funding. Iraq is facing a budget deficit of 22 billion dollars this year. President Obama pledged 200 million dollars to help Iraqi communities and the people who are struggling. But Prime Minister al-Abadi is seeking much more and meeting with other international officials to request it.
首先伊拉克总理阿巴迪昨天对白宫进行了访问。其中访问的一个重要目的是寻求资金。伊拉克正面临着今年220亿美元的财政赤字预算。奥巴马总统承诺拨款2亿美元用于帮助正在挣扎的伊拉克政府和人民。但是阿巴迪总理现在的需求比之前更多，并且也与其他国际官员举行了会议要求援助。
In addition to recovering from years of war, Iraq is fighting ISIS: Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. It wants to form a new country in the region based on its severe terpretation of Islam. Late last week, ISIS attacked Iraq`s largest oil refinery and said it took control of part of it. Iraqi forces denied that claim, saying they were in full control. Most of Iraq`s revenue comes from oil sales, but low global oil prices are hurting its economy.
除了伊拉克需要从战争中恢复，伊拉克现在还在面临着伊斯兰武装分子的困扰。该恐怖组织希望在该区域建立一个基于伊斯兰极端教义的新国家。上周时候ISIS袭击了伊拉克最大的炼油厂，并称其已经控制了部分地区。伊拉克大部分收入来自石油销售，但是持续走低的石油价格也给其经济一致命打击。
