VOA常速英语:Eastern Mosul in Ruins as Islamic State Militants Retreat(翻译)

After more than a hundred days of fighting, much of eastern Mosul lies in ruinsas Iraqi forces took over the last Islamic State stronghold on the eastern side of the Tigris River.
经过一百多天的战斗，摩苏尔东部大部分地区已成一片废墟，伊拉克军队接管了底格里斯河以东“伊斯兰国”的最后一个据点。

Residents say they are relieved the fighting in their neighborhoods is over and the militant group is gone.But the violence and isolation of the past two and a half years has shrouded the city with heartbreak and fear.
居民们说他们感到很宽慰，这是因为，街区的战斗结束了，激进组织也离开了。然而，在过去长达两年半的时间里，整个城市笼罩在暴力和闭塞的阴云之下，人们生活在伤心与恐惧当中。

“Islam is innocent from what they are doing.What they do is one hundred percent opposite of what Islam says.You cannot even call them a terrorist group because they are more destructive and more evil than terrorist groups.”
“伊斯兰教义与武装分子的所作所为没有任何关系。他们的所作所为与伊斯兰教义完全相悖。你甚至不能称他们为恐怖组织，因为他们比恐怖组织更具破坏性、更邪恶。”

Everyone we talked to has lost loved ones to IS, and many people say they have relatives that are trapped in western Mosul,which is running out of food, water and electricity.Militants are also becoming increasingly violent in their treatment of civilians as Iraqi forces close in.
所有受访者都表示，因为“伊斯兰国”，他们都曾失去自己挚爱的人，很多人说他们有亲戚被困在摩苏尔西部，那里的人们面临着食物、水、电短缺的威胁。随着伊拉克军队逐渐围攻摩苏尔西部，武装分子对待平民愈加暴力。

Soldiers say they expect the fight for western Mosul to be as fierce as the east, or fiercer.But officials say they are also confident Iraqi and coalition forces will win.After finishing Mosul, also we will look for ISIS in all areas in order to announce that Iraq is out and free from ISIS.Officials say they expect to begin the next phase of operation---"We Are Coming Mosul" in the coming weeks.For the families of Mosul residents awaiting the onslaught of battle in the west, Iraqi forces cannot come soon enough.
士兵们表示，他们希望收复摩苏尔西部的战斗能和东部的战斗一样激烈，甚至更为激烈。军官们称，他们坚信，伊拉克军队和联军终将获胜。“待完全收复摩苏尔之后，我们将肃清所有在伊境内的‘伊斯兰国’残余势力，并宣布伊拉克彻底摆脱了‘伊斯兰国’的威胁。”军官们表示，他们期待在未来几周内，开展下一阶段的军事行动，该行动被称为“我们即将解放摩苏尔”。然而，摩苏尔市西部的居民急切盼望战斗早日打响，对于他们来说，伊拉克军队到达地越快越好。
