and dream of a democratic northern strip of Africa stretching from Morocco to Egypt.
并都梦想非洲民主的北部地带从摩洛哥延伸至埃及。
非洲北部的民主地带。。。

He may hang on for a while, since the loyalty of his armed forces has shown little sign of cracking.
他或许会坚持一段时间，因为武装力量并未显示一丝半毫不忠的迹象。
也许不忠和分裂还是有那么一点点区别 不忠还可以是集体叛变。。。

But much better that they be encouraged into the open, rather than cooped up in a conspiratorial underworld where their natural divisions are smothered and where the political tool of choice is violence.
但鼓励他们走向公开比将他们禁锢在一个阴谋社会要好的多。在阴谋社会里，自然区划被掩盖，可选的政治工具只是暴力。

But what is crystal clear is that the mood in the Arab world has changed irrevocably. Whether it takes a year or decades, it is plain that Arabs, like people everywhere, want a say in choosing who should run their lives.
不过显而易见的是，阿拉伯世界的倾向已经发生不可逆转的改变。显然，阿拉伯人民与世界其他地方的人民一样，不管需要花上一年还是十年，希望在选择哪些管理他们上拥有发言权。
试译：显然，不管需要花上一年还是数十年（注意是复数）的时间，阿拉伯人民与世界其他地方的人民一样，也希望有权选择自己的国家领导人。

a conspiratorial underworld
在下层社会里
你改过之后又把conspiratorial给丢了

But the immediate fate of the Arab spring turns on Libya and Syria, both in the throes of revolution.
不过，把目光投向利比亚和叙利亚，阿拉伯之春眼前的命运却在处在变革的剧痛之中。
不过阿拉伯之春当前的命运却和利比亚和叙利亚息息相关，这两者都处在变革的剧痛之中。
我觉得turn on这里的意思是be contingent on。
