Chinese translation:隔离墙的建造在几个地点已经停工。

Explanation:
Would 一些地区，几处，多处 (placed at the beginning of the sentence) mislead the reader to think of separation "walls" being built in several regions? (Please note the word wall is in the singular.) I hope this version could eliminate that ambiguity.

construction of the separation wall was suspended in several places. 在一些地区停建隔离墙。

Explanation:
中国日报网站消息：以色列总理沙龙11月30日拒绝了巴勒斯坦总理库赖提出的将停止修建约旦河西岸的安全隔离墙作为谈判条件的要求。

　　沙龙在30日以色列内阁会议的官方报告中称：“我据此通报你们，我们不会接受任何附加条件，其中包括停止隔离墙建设、拆除隔离墙以及其它建设活动。”

　　库赖之前表示，在他跟沙龙就实现巴以停火以及激活中东和平“路线图”进行谈判前，以色列必须停止建造安全隔离墙。沙龙还呼吁美国对以色列施压，让其停止筑墙。

　　以色列称，他们修建隔离墙是为了组织“人体炸弹”对以色列目标的袭击。巴勒斯坦方面称该墙是为了吞并以色列从1967年战争中攫取的土地。
