Rawnaq Mohammed and her husband, in their twenties, were pushing the stroller of their two-month-old daughter Masarah. They approached the celebration spot but not very close because they don't want their little daughter to be annoyed by the loud voices.
二十岁的Rawnaq Mohammed 和她老公，推着坐在手推车里的两个月大的女儿Masarah. 他们靠近庆祝点又保持点距离，因为他们不想让他们的小女儿被吵闹的声音弄生气了。

Earlier, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki warned that militant groups will work hard to step up attacks to reverse the security gains, calling on Iraqis to unite to stop them.
早些时候，马利基总理警告说好战组织会奋力加快进攻反转的安全成果，呼吁伊拉克人联合起来抵抗他们。
"They (the militant groups) are preparing themselves to move in the dark to destabilize the situation, but, with God's will, you and I will be ready for them," Maliki said.
“他们正准备用黑暗动摇当前的形势，但，上帝的意愿是，你们和我一起准备好抵抗他们”。马利基说。
Violence in Iraq has dropped dramatically in recent months, but deadly attacks are still common in the Iraqi cities, casting doubts on the ability of Iraqi security forces to take over from U. S. troops the task of controlling security and defeating insurgency of both Shiite and Sunni militant groups in the war- torn country.
在伊拉克暴力事件已急剧下降，但致命袭击事件在各大城市仍很普遍。伊拉克安全保卫部队的能力遭受质疑，迫使他们要接管好美国军队控制安全的任务和击败什叶派和逊尼派间的撕裂国家战争的反叛武装组织。
As part of a security pact signed between Baghdad and Washington last year, U.S. troops will withdraw from Iraqi cities, towns and villages by June 30, 2009 to their bases, and will leave the country on Dec. 31, 2011.
作为去年巴格达和华盛顿签订安全协议的一部分，从2009年6月30日至2011年12月31日美国部队将从伊拉克各个城市，城镇和村庄撤离。 |
