报告：特朗普政府接收的难民人数减少70%

The number of refugees admitted to the US has fallen 70 per cent during the current fiscal year, setting it on course to fall far short of the Trump administration’s targets, according to a new report.

一份新报告显示，本财政年度获准进入美国的难民人数减少70%，这一人数将远低于特朗普政府设定的目标。

An analysis by the International Rescue Committee, a humanitarian group focusing on refugees, found that 12,189 refugees arrived in the US in the first seven months of this fiscal year. That put the US on track to accept 21,000 refugees for the full year, well below the 45,000 target set by the Trump administration.

聚焦难民事务的人道主义组织“国际救援委员会”(International Rescue Committee)的一份分析报告发现，在本财年头7个月，有12189名难民抵达美国，因此美国全年预计将接收2.1万名难民，远低于特朗普政府设定的4.5万人的目标。

For most years since 2000, the US agreed to take in 70-80,000 refugees. But it has sometimes allowed in far fewer, with the number falling to 27,000 after the terrorist attacks of September 11 2001, the lowest total since the IRC began keeping records in 1980. In its last year, the Obama administration set a 110,000 goal for 2017.

在2000年以来的多数年份里，美国都同意接收7万至8万名难民。但有时它同意接收的人数要少得多，在2001年9月11日的恐怖袭击后，这个数字降至2.7万，是自国际救援委员会于1980年开始保持记录以来的最低数字。奥巴马政府在执政的最后一年为2017年设定了11万人的目标。

“It is shocking to halve the number of refugees you promise to take; it is doubly shocking to halve the promise,” said David Miliband, president of the IRC, who added that the shortfall from the targets stemmed from “systematic” bureaucratic delays caused by extra vetting demands.

“你把承诺接收的难民人数砍掉了一半，这令人震惊；更加令人震惊的是，你只接收了承诺人数的一半，”国际救援委员会主席戴维米利班德(David Miliband)说。他接着说，由额外审查要求造成的“系统性”官僚主义拖延，导致了接收人数不达标。
