VOA常速英语:Brownfield on International Narcotics Control Strategy Report(翻译)

The United States is in the midst of its most severe drug epidemic since the 1980s.Nonetheless, the country is positioning itself within the international system to fight it, thanks to close cooperation with its international partners,and with mechanisms created over the past decades to fight drug trafficking,said Assistant Secretary for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, William Brownfield.
美国正在面临自20世纪80年代以来最为严重的一次毒品泛滥。尽管如此，美国还是正在融入打击毒品的国际体系中，这得益于与国际伙伴之间的密切合作，以及过去几十年为打击毒品走私而建立的机制，负责国际麻醉品和执法事务的助理国务卿威廉·布朗菲尔德如是说。

He spoke at a press conference to introduce the congressionally-mandated 2017 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report,submitted annually by the State Department.The report describes the efforts of key countries to attack all aspects of the international drug trade. This year’s report, said Assistant Secretary Brownfield, “is a story of 40 years of building capabilities,intelligence, coordination, specialized units, new laws, and relationships around the world.”
在新闻发布会上，他介绍了2017年度《国际毒品管制战略报告》，该报告按国会要求发布，并每年由国务院进行提交。报告提到了主要国家为全面打击国际毒品交易所付出的努力。助理国务卿布朗菲尔德说，今年的报告 “讲述了一个历时40年的故事，主要关于如何培养能力，收集情报，互相协作，设立专门单位，实施新法律和处理世界各地关系。”

So for example, the United States and Mexico have developed cooperative mechanisms,joint operations and intelligence sharing that have improved the ability of both countries to address the issue of drug trafficking across the U.S.-Mexico border.
例如，美国和墨西哥建立了合作机制，相互协调，联合行动和情报共享，此举提高了两国处理美墨边境贩毒问题的能力。

“We are better positioned to deal with it today, as this annual report demonstrates, because we have mechanisms, cooperation,” said Assistant Secretary Brownfield.“We have regional groupings;we have equipment and technology;we have specialized units;we have legislation and statutes on the books in more than 100 different countries that allow us to address the issue internationally, multi-nationally, regionally, and bilaterally among governments.It is much better that we are confronting this situation, this historic opioid crisis today,with the architecture that we have in place now than it would have been 20 years ago,” he said.
“正如这份年度报告所阐述的，如今我们能够更好地处理这个问题，因为我们有了合作机制。”助理国务卿布朗菲尔德说道。“我们有区域合作组织; 我们有设备和技术;我们有专业单位;我们在100多个不同国家制定了书面的法律和法规，使我们能够在国际上、国家之间、各地区之间以及双边政府方面对这一问题进行有效处理。面对今天这种局面，像这种历史性的鸦片类药物危机，我们现在所拥有的体系比20年前要好得多。”

“I believe we have a good strategy.I believe this international drug report lays out a good global architecture for more than 100 nations of the world to cooperate and work together to address the drug issue.”
“我相信我们的策略行之有效。我相信这份国际毒品报告会为世界上100多个国家提供一个良好的全球体系，合作解决毒品问题。”
