The Pentagon today called on the highly publicized withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan a sham.
今天，美国国防部呼吁苏联军队撤出阿富汗，苏联撤军一事已经人尽皆知。
Moscow announced earlier this month that it would complete the withdrawal of 6,000 men from Afghanistan by the end of October.
本月初，莫斯科方面宣布其将在10月底之前从阿富汗撤出6000人。
NPR's Allen Burlow has the story.
下面请听国家公共电台艾伦·巴洛发回的报道。
The head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Lieutenant General Leonard Perutz said the Pentagon has developed clear and convincing evidence that the Soviet troop withdrawals are a deception.
国防情报局局长、中将伦纳德·佩鲁茨表示，美国国防部已经有确凿证据表明，苏联所谓的撤军只是一场骗局。
Perutz said the Soviets deliberately inserted additional tank and rifle regiments into Afghanistan for no reason other than to withdraw them.
佩鲁茨表示，苏联故意安插了额外的坦克和步枪团进入阿富汗，美其名曰撤军。
What the Soviets have done is to remove some unneeded units and to substitute others,
而其实苏联所做的只是将不需要的兵团撤出来，用其他的加以代替。
so that the numbers of military useful troops in Afghanistan is basically unchanged.
这样一来，苏联在阿富汗的有效军队数量基本没变。
Perutz said half of the Soviet units withdrawn were for air defense.
佩鲁茨表示，半数苏联军队都肩负了防空的任务。
Since the Afghani Mujahidin rebels have no air force, Perutz said, the Soviet withdrawals have no military significance.
佩鲁茨表示，鉴于阿富汗的穆斯林叛军没有空军力量，所以苏联的撤军也不会产生什么军事影响。
Perutz said the withdrawals were designed to enhance General Secretary Gorbachev's image at home and abroad.
佩鲁茨表示，撤军之举是为了提升总书记戈尔巴乔夫在海内外的形象。
