US forces to gain access to more Philippine bases
美军将进驻更多菲律宾军事基地
US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter says its forces will gain access to more military bases in the Philippines, on top of the current five. Carter on Wednesday began a visit to the long-standing Asian ally. Earlier this year, Manila announced it would allow the US to use five of its installations, including an air base close to the South China Sea.
美国国防部部长阿什顿·卡特称，除了目前的五个军事基地，美军将获得更多菲律宾军事基地的进驻权。周三，卡特访问了长期以来与美国保持密切关系的亚洲盟国菲律宾。今年早些时候，菲律宾政府宣布将对美国开放5个军事基地的使用权，其中一个空军基地接近中国南海。

The agreement that went into force in January aims to strengthen the Philippines' defensive capabilities amid a tense maritime dispute with China. At the same time, it will help the Pentagon pivot more of its forces toward Asia.
这份协议在今年一月份生效。在与中国海上争端逐渐紧张的局势下，菲律宾企图通过这项协议强化防卫能力。同时帮助美国将更多军事力量转移至亚太地区。
Meanwhile, defense officials from the Philippines and Vietnam will meet this week to explore possible joint exercises and navy patrols. But officials have said a deal this week was unlikely.
其间，菲律宾和越南防卫官员将在本周会面，商讨联合军事演习及海上巡逻事宜。但是官方人士称双方就此事达成协议的可能性很小。
