US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz told Fox News on Sunday that President Donald Trump was “giving [the potential for] talks … a little bit of room”.
美国常驻联合国大使迈克·沃尔茨周日对福克斯新闻表示，特朗普总统正“为（可能的）会谈……留出一点空间”。
While noting that the president has said the US was “locked and loaded,” Waltz said negotiators have been engaged at every level over the past few weeks, and in particular, over the past few days.
沃尔茨指出，总统曾表示美国已“整装待发”，但他同时表示，过去数周、尤其是最近几天，谈判人员一直在各个层级保持接触。
US broadcaster CBS, quoting two regional sources, reported that the US decision to pause the bombing was made due to the arrival in Tehran of a delegation from Oman.
美国广播机构哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）援引两名地区消息人士的话报道称，美国决定暂停轰炸，是因为一个阿曼代表团抵达德黑兰。
The New York Times reported that Trump paused plans to escalate attacks due to concerns about draining the Pentagon’s diminishing stockpile of missile interceptors and other air defence munitions in the Middle East.
《纽约时报》报道称，特朗普暂停了升级袭击的计划，原因是担心耗尽五角大楼在中东日益减少的导弹拦截弹及其他防空弹药储备。
Iran’s army, meanwhile, said it had halted its strikes in the Gulf.
与此同时，伊朗军方表示已停止在海湾地区的打击行动。
“Our strategy has essentially been retaliatory. We have also halted our retaliatory operations,” Iranian army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia said, according to the AFP news agency.
据法新社报道，伊朗军方发言人穆罕默德·阿克拉米尼亚表示：“我们的战略本质上是报复性的。我们也已停止报复行动。”
However, like the US, Iran was also sure to maintain its bullish rhetoric, with Akraminia warning that the conflict would widen further if the US continues its attacks.
不过，与美国一样，伊朗也不忘保持强硬言辞。阿克拉米尼亚警告称，如果美国继续发动袭击，冲突将进一步扩大。

关于阿曼代表团，伊朗外交部发言人伊斯梅尔·巴加伊表示，有关霍尔木兹海峡海上交通管理的会谈“富有成效并取得了进展”——该海峡正是近期敌对行动爆发的焦点。
“Technical and political consultations” are ongoing, he added.
他补充说，“技术与政治磋商”仍在进行之中。
Meanwhile, incidents in the waterway, a key export route for oil and natural gas exports from the region, continued, maintaining the risk of escalation.

Control over the Strait of Hormuz is a point of contention between the US and Iran. Iran says it controls passage through the waterway under a memorandum of understanding that was signed by Washington and Tehran in June and established a 60-day period for the final terms of a deal to be negotiated.
霍尔木兹海峡的控制权是美伊之间的争议焦点。伊朗表示，根据华盛顿与德黑兰于6月签署的一份谅解备忘录，该国掌控这条水道的通行权；该备忘录设定了60天的期限，以便就协议的最终条款进行谈判。

长难句解析
The sudden period of calm after two weeks of nightly attacks on Iran by the US and Iranian retaliation on US allies in the Gulf came amid hopes of a return to diplomacy.
此前两周，美国每夜对伊朗发动袭击，伊朗则对海湾地区的美国盟友实施报复，如今局势骤然趋于平静，恰逢外界期待重返外交轨道。
本句主语为 The sudden period of calm，谓语动词是 came。after 引导的介词短语作时间状语，其中包含由 and 连接的两个并列名词短语：nightly attacks on Iran by the US 与 Iranian retaliation on US allies in the Gulf。句末 amid hopes of a return to diplomacy 为介词短语，交代事件发生的背景。翻译时宜先译长状语，再译主干，符合汉语先因后果的表达习惯。
Iran says it controls passage through the waterway under a memorandum of understanding that was signed by Washington and Tehran in June and established a 60-day period for the final terms of a deal to be negotiated.
伊朗表示，根据华盛顿与德黑兰于6月签署的一份谅解备忘录，该国掌控这条水道的通行权；该备忘录设定了60天的期限，以便就协议的最终条款进行谈判。
says 后接省略 that 的宾语从句 it controls passage through the waterway。under a memorandum of understanding 为介词短语作方式状语，其后 that 引导定语从句修饰 memorandum of understanding，从句内含两个并列谓语：was signed（被动语态）和 established。句末 for the final terms of a deal to be negotiated 是“for + 名词 + 不定式”的复合结构，作 period 的后置定语，表示该期限的用途。因定语从句较长，翻译时宜拆分为两个分句处理。
