接下来,是一篇反映美国政府观点的社论。
U.S. Central Command and Central Special Operations Command are at the very center of the U.S. fight against terrorism. "Those serving at CENTCOM have bravely fought across the theater of war in the Middle East,and bravely battled a vicious enemy that has no respect for human life,” said President Donald Trump in a recent speech to the Central Command.He expressed the nation’s gratitude to all serving overseas, including all of U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan.
中央司令部和中央特种作战司令部是美国打击恐怖主义的中心。“中央司令部统率下的士兵们在正在中东战场上英勇地战斗,英勇地同践踏生命、穷凶极恶的敌人战斗,”美国总统唐纳德·特朗普最近在中央司令部的一次讲话中说道。他表示,国家感谢所有在海外服役的军人,包括驻阿富汗的所有美国军事人员。
United States Special Operations Command has dispatched its legendary warriors to the most secret,sensitive and daring missions in defense of the United States of America.“No enemy,” said President Trump, “stands a chance against our Special Forces.”
美国特种作战司令部派遣了勇猛的特种士兵去执行最机密,也最为敏感和危险的任务,以捍卫美利坚合众国。特朗普总统说:“没有任何敌人是我们特种部队的对手。”
The President noted that even though U.S. forces are well-trained and well-prepared, ISIS presents a very large challenge.
但总统也指出,即使美国部队训练有素,准备充分,ISIS仍是一个很大的挑战。
“We’re up against an enemy that celebrates death and totally worships destruction,” said President Trump."ISIS is on a campaign of genocide, committing atrocities across the world.Radical Islamic terrorists are determined to strike our homeland as they did on 9/11;as they did from Boston to Orlando, to San Bernardino.”Europe also has suffered catastrophic terrorist attacks in Paris, Nice, Brussels, and Berlin.
“我们正在对抗一个杀戮成性、唯恐天下不乱的敌人。”特朗普总统说道。“伊斯兰国正在进行种族灭绝运动,在世界各地屡屡犯下暴行。激进的伊斯兰恐怖分子意欲重演9/11的悲剧,袭击我们的家园;从波士顿到奥兰多,再到圣贝纳迪诺。”在欧洲的巴黎,尼斯,布鲁塞尔和柏林等地,恐怖分子也制造了灾难性的恐怖袭击。
The United States is delivering a message in a unified voice, said President Trump: "To these forces of death and destruction, America and its allies will defeat you. We will defeat them. We will defeat radical Islamic terrorism, and we will not allow it to take root in our country.”
美国一贯以统一的声音传递信息,特朗普总统说:美国及盟国将消灭这些热衷杀戮和毁灭的恶势力,我们将战胜你们。我们将战胜他们。激进的伊斯兰恐怖主义终会被击退,我们绝不会允许它在我们国家扎根。”
