Iran announced on 22 April that it had successfully launched a satellite into orbit earlier that day, breaking a run of failures that has plagued a space programme that US officials say is a way of testing ballistic missile technology.
伊朗于4月22日宣布，已于当天早些时候成功将一颗卫星发射入轨道，打破了一系列困扰太空计划的失败，美国官员称这是一种测试弹道导弹技术的方式。
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced that the Noor-1, the country's first military satellite, was launched from a location in the Dasht-e Kavir desert and successfully put into a 425 km orbit.
伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）宣布，该国第一颗军用卫星Noor-1从Dasht-e Kavir沙漠的某个地点发射，并成功进入425公里的轨道。
"Today, we look at the Earth from space, and this means expansion of the strategic intelligence and information of the IRGC's powerful defence force," IRGC commander Major General Hossein Salami said.
伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）指挥官侯赛因·萨拉米少将说：“今天，我们从太空看地球，这意味着伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）强大防御力量的战略情报和信息将扩大。”
The United States did not immediately confirm the launch's success, but General John Hyten, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, left little doubt that Iran had put a satellite into orbit.
美国没有立即证实这次发射的成功，但参谋长联席会议副主席约翰·海顿将军对伊朗将一颗卫星送入轨道毫无疑问。
"There's a lot that has to happen before a satellite becomes operational or whether it even works or not and it takes a long time to characterise that because it goes around the world," he said during a press conference later that day. "By this time tomorrow I imagine, if I was to stand up in front of you, I could explain exactly what was going on, whether it was successful or not. I just don't have that information yet."
他在当天晚些时候的一次记者招待会上说：“在一颗卫星投入使用之前，或者在它是否工作之前，必须要发生很多事情，而描述这一点需要很长时间，因为它会绕着世界转。”到明天这个时候，我想，如果我站在你面前，我可以确切地解释发生了什么，是否成功。我只是还没有这个信息。”
"What I can tell you is that it went a very long way, and if you have a missile that goes a very long way, whether it works or not, puts a satellite into space or not, [it] means it has the ability, once again, to threaten their neighbours, our allies," he added.
他还说：“我能告诉你的是，它飞行了很长的一段路线，如果你有一枚飞行了很长一段路线的导弹，不管它是否工作，把一颗卫星送入太空，[这]意味着它再次有能力威胁他们的邻国，我们的盟友”。
He denied this launch was being treated differently from previous ones, where US officials have highlighted Iranian failures.
他否认这次发射受到的对待与以往不同，美国官员曾强调伊朗的失败。
