The recent uprisings in Arab states have raised serious concerns in the US over the major reliance of its military operations on its bases across Persian Gulf's Arab nations.
最近在阿拉伯國家的起義已引起美國認真的關注，對其軍事行動有很大的依賴性在波斯灣阿拉伯國家的基地。
About 27,000 American troops are deployed at US military bases in numerous Arab countries in the region, including Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, AFP reported.
約 27,000名美國軍隊被部署在地區的許多阿拉伯國家的美軍基地，包括卡塔爾、阿拉伯聯合酋長國、科威特、巴林和沙特阿拉伯，法新社報導。
As the Bahraini government brutally cracks down on the country's pro-democracy protesters, at least 4,000 American troops are stationed there as part of the US Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters.
由於巴林政府殘酷地鎮壓該國的親民主示威者，至少有4,000名美國軍隊駐紮在那裡，作為美國海軍第五艦隊總部的一部分。
The persisting turmoil in the Persian Gulf state will most likely threaten US military operations in the Middle East region.
在波斯灣國家的持續動盪，將最有可能威脅到美國在中東地區的軍事行動。
However, Pentagon has publicly described the ongoing uprisings as 'popular movements' that would not at all affect its naval headquarters or other bases in the region.
然而，五角大樓已公開地形容正在進行的起義為'群眾運動'，這不會完全影響其在該地區的海軍總部或其它基地。
According to former American diplomat David Aaron, “No single base or agreement represents an Achilles heel, but in general, the network is critical for American military power.”
據前美國外交官大衛亞倫，“沒有單一的基地或協議代表一個致命的弱點，但總的來說，網絡對美國的軍事實力是至關重要的。“
US military operations in most Arab states are mainly focused on exercising control over oil shipping routes in the Persian Gulf.
在大多數阿拉伯國家美國的軍事行動主要集中在行使控制權，在波斯灣的石油運輸航線。
Taking into account the likely consequence of the Egyptian revolution and other mass uprisings in the other Arab world, there is a high possibility that the US will suffer a major decline in its vast military power and influence in the region.
The loss is certain to serve as a huge drawback for the US in the Persian Gulf area, as it would no longer be capable of monitoring Iran's military activities.
