[(Title)] Kremlin comments on media reports about possible US airstrikes on Russian troops in Syria.

VLADIVOSTOK, September 11. /TASS/. The Kremlin does not take media reports about US airstrikes on Russian troops in Syria seriously any more, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

俄罗斯总统发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫告诉记者，克里姆林宫将不再严肃对待媒体关于美国空袭叙利亚的新闻报道。

"We don't take media reports seriously because they have completely discredited themselves," he said, commenting on a Wall Street Journal publication. "We focus on official statements," Peskov added.

佩斯科夫补充道：“我们不会在严肃对待媒体报道，因为它们已经彻底败坏了自己的名誉。”此番言论是针对《华尔街日报》的相关报道。他说，“我们将关注官方言论。”

The Wall Street Journal wrote that "President Bashar al-Assad of Syria has approved the use of chlorine gas in an offensive against the country's last major rebel stronghold, US officials said, raising the prospects for another retaliatory US military strike." 

《华尔街日报》此前报道称，“叙利亚总统巴沙尔·阿萨德已经批准使用氯气来对抗该国最后一个主要反叛分子据点，美国官员说，这增加了美国再次进行报复性军事打击的可能性。”

According to the newspaper, "in a recent discussion about Syria, people familiar with the exchange said, President Trump threatened to conduct a massive attack against Mr. Assad if he carries out a massacre in Idlib."

据该报报道，“在最近关于叙利亚的一次讨论中，特朗普总统威胁说，如果阿萨德在伊德利卜进行屠杀，他将对阿萨德进行大规模攻击。"

The Wall Street Journal added that "Mr. Trump would again have to consider whether or not to hit targets like Russian air defenses in an effort to deliver a more punishing blow to Mr. Assad's military."

《华尔街日报》补充道：“特朗普将再次考虑是否击落俄罗斯防空系统等目标，以便对阿萨德的军队施加更加严厉的打击。”
