A US official traveling with Rice says this is not just gonna be another meeting, em, that these men rarely need on this level and that it's been many years since they've talked about something as ambitious as a Palestinian state. What they are talking about is, emm, creating what they call a political horizon, that is, you know, where are we heading, what would the state look like, what are the perimeters of it. He says that this is not jumping ahead in the roadmap necessarily. The roadmap for peace, the guideline to a two-state solution is still the basis (on) upon which they are working, but this is a looking ahead to what the final result might look like.
參考答案:一位与赖斯同行的美国官员指出：“不会有另外一次会议，嗯，因为在这个阶段，那些人并非确实需要这么一个会议。而且，从他们雄心壮志地谈论‘巴勒斯坦建国’至今，已经有很多年了。他们所谈论的，嗯，是他们所谓的‘政治新境界’，你知道的，这也是我们一贯的追求，是这个国家应有的样子，是它所具有的周界。”他认为，这并不是说一定要越过路标 --“和平路标”，解决两国问题的指路标，仍然是它们所致力解决问题的基础所在。但是，这只是一次大结局相貌的前瞻而已。
