VOA常速英语:人权观察表示：民粹主义的崛起威胁基本权利

The 687-page report, the 27th edition, reviewed human rights practices in more than 90 countries. This is a uniquely troubling time, says Human Rights Watch Executive Director Kenneth Roth,because the global rise of populist leaders poses an extraordinary threat to human rights.
这份687页的报告，第27次修订版本，讨论了超过90个国家的人权实践。人权观察执行理事肯尼斯.罗斯说，这是一次独特的困难时期，因为全球民粹主义领袖的崛起给人权带来了极大的威胁。

“Nativism, xenophobia, racism, Islamophobia and misogyny are all on the rise. If the voices of intolerance prevail, the world risks entering a dark era.”
“本土主义、排外主义、种族主义、恐伊斯兰症和厌女症都在增加。如果不宽容的声音占上风，这个世界恐怕要进入一段黑暗时期。”

He says violent terror attacks have generated fear and suspicion,and also an increasing sense that governments and the elite ignore public concerns.This has created an environment of discontent in which certain politicians are flourishing.
他说暴力恐怖袭击已经引发了恐惧和怀疑，而且越来越让人们觉得，政府和社会精英在忽略公众的关切。这营造了一种不满的氛围，某些政客从中受利。

“They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists.”
“他们带来毒品，他们带来犯罪，他们是强奸犯。”

“Donald Trump’s successful presidential campaign vividly illustrated this politics of intolerance.He stereotyped migrants, vilified refugees, attacked a judge for his ancestry, dismissed multiple allegations of sexual abuse and pledged to roll back women’s ability to control their own fertility.”
“唐纳德.特朗普成功当选总统形象地证明了政治的不宽容。他对移民报以成见，中伤难民，抨击一个法官的血统，驳回各种性侵的指控，并且承诺压制女性的能力以控制她们的生育能力。”

But Trump says he won because Americans were dissatisfied with the Obama administration.
但是特朗普却说他获得胜利是因为美国人民不满奥巴马政府的统治。

Roth believes that Trump’s tactics are catching on elsewhere.
罗斯认为特朗普的策略正在其他地方盛行起来。

“Leading the charge have been Marine Le Pen in France and Geert Wilders in the Netherlands.But there are echoes of this intolerance in the Brexit campaign,the rhetoric of Viktor Orban in Hungary and Jaroslaw Kaczynski in Poland.And far right parties from Germany to Greece.”
“领导这一趋势的就是法国的马琳.勒庞和荷兰的吉尔特.怀尔德。但是脱欧阵营中也有这种不宽容的附和声，即匈牙利的维克多.奥班和波兰的雅罗斯瓦夫.卡钦斯基的言辞。以及从德国到希腊的极右派政党。”

Larry Sabato from the University of Virginia Center for Politics via Skype,
弗吉尼亚大学政治中心的拉里.萨巴托通过Skype说：

“It ought to concern anyone who cares about small ’d’ democracy.Because often what happens in the United States or in other democracies like Great Britain ends up being replicated in other democracies such as France, Germany and beyond.”
“应当关注任何在意民主的人。因为，通常发生在美国，或其他民主国家如英国的事，最终都会被复制到其他民主国家，如法国、德国等等。”

Roth also criticizes what he referred to as the strongmen of Russia, Turkey, the Philippines, Egypt and China,whom he says are increasingly substituting their own authority for accountable government and the rule of law.
罗斯还批评了他认为的俄罗斯、土耳其、菲律宾、埃及和中国的铁腕人物，他说他们正在不断地用自己的权力取代责任政府和法治。

“President Erdogan’s increasingly dictatorial rule in Turkey.Egypt, under President Sissi produced a rule that is far more repressive than anything that happened even under President Mubarak.President Putin has restricted assembly and expression, penalized online decent and crippled civil society groups.China’s Xi Jinping has embarked on a similar path of repression.”
“埃尔多安总统在土耳其不断地推行独裁统治。埃及在塞西总统掌权时制定了一项法规，该法规比穆巴拉克总统在位时更加专制。普京总统限制集会和自由言论，处罚网络得体语言，并且削弱民间社会团体的能力。习近平主席开启了一条类似的压制道路。”

Roth also cautioned against leaders in Africa who have removed or extended term limits,and the recent withdrawal announcement from the international criminal court by a few of them.
罗斯还警告大家要提防非洲已经退位的或者延长统治期限的领导人们，以及他们中的一些在最近的国际刑事法院所做的退出公告。
