VOA常速英语:U.S. Welcomes Bhutanese Refugees(翻译)
美国驻尼泊尔大使阿莱娜·特普利兹近期会晤并告别了萨里·玛雅·塔塔—她是将被安置在美国的第九万名不丹难民。塔塔和她的四个孩子于9月21日从尼泊尔启程,在美国东北部的新罕布什尔州开始了他们的新生活。特普利兹大使上周拜访了位于贾帕的贝尔当吉不丹难民营,在那里她讨论了已经接近完成的第三国家移民计划。
In a ceremony at the U.S. Embassy, Ms. Thatal shared her hopes for new opportunities for herself and her children in the United States after spending over 20 years in a refugee camp. Paul Norton, Chief of Mission for the International Organization for Migration, the IOM, and Kevin Allen, Country Representative for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, or UNHCR,joined Ambassador Teplitz in bidding farewell to Ms. Thatal. The total number of Bhutanese refugees who have been resettled to third countries has reached 105,000, with 90,000 in the United States.
在美国大使馆举行的一场仪式上,塔塔表达了自己的愿望—希望自己和孩子们能够在美国得到新的机会,而此前她已经在难民营里生活了20多年。国际移民组织(IOM)任务总负责人保罗·诺顿、以及联合国难民署(UNHCR)国家代表凯文·艾伦和特普利兹大使一起作别了塔塔。移民前往第三国家的不丹难民总数已经达到了10万5000人,其中有9万人前往了美国。
The United States, in coordination with the government of Nepal, UNHCR, IOM,and the governments of Australia, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom began resettling Bhutanese refugees from eastern Nepal in 2007.
美国和尼泊尔政府、联合国难民署、国际移民组织、以及澳大利亚、加拿大、丹麦、荷兰、新西兰、挪威以及英国等国家的政府进行了协调合作,从2007年开始对尼泊尔东部的不丹难民进行再安置。
“The Nepali people and government have been very gracious hosts to refugees for decades and the third-country resettlement of Bhutanese refugees is one of the most successful refugee management stories in recent memory,” said Ambassador Teplitz.
“几十年以来,尼泊尔人民和政府都对难民们非常亲切友善,而不丹难民第三国家移民行动是近些年来最为成功的难民管理事件之一,”特普利兹大使如是说道。
“However, the massive resettlement program is coming to an end.While the international community continues to ask the Government of Bhutan to repatriate those refugees who would like to return,finding a durable solution here in Nepal for those who will remain is critical.”
“然而,这场大规模移民行动即将结束。而国际社会继续向不丹政府提出要求,遣返那些想要回来的难民,对于那些仍将继续留在尼泊尔的人们来说,寻找一个长期解决之道至关重要。”
