英语文摘：U.S. not trying to dictate on Egypt: spokesman

"But it's important that, you know, what Egypt does do is seen as credible in the eyes of the Egyptian people, and it's our view that what they've put forward so far does not meet that threshold, " Crowley told reporters.

He said he does not see Biden's call for immediate repealing of the emergency law as interference, arguing that the vice president 's discussions with Suleiman "are the kinds of, you know, very specific and irreversible steps that we believe the people of Egypt are looking for."

"What we're doing is commenting on unfolding events in Egypt, consistent with both our policies and our values," he added. "We are providing our best perspective on what the government needs to do, you know, to meet the aspirations of the Egyptian people."

"With all due respect to the foreign minister, he should not be amazed, if that's the word that he used, at our call for rescinding the emergency law," the spokesman argued. "We have been calling for that for years, if not decades."

Gheit told PBS that "When I read it this morning I was really amazed because right now, as we speak, we have 17,000 prisoners loose in the streets out of jails that have been destroyed. How can you ask me to sort of disband that emergency law while I'm in difficulty?"

"Give me time, allow me to have control to stabilize the nation, to stabilize the state and then we would look into the issue," the minister said.
