VOA常速英语:Progress Against ISIS in Iraq and Syria(翻译)

Pentagon Spokesman Captain Jeff Davis recently gave an update on the increasingly successful battle against ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
五角大楼发言人杰夫·戴维斯上校近期公布了在叙利亚和伊拉克不断成功打击伊斯兰国的进展。

In northern Syria, he said, U.S. and coalition advisers continue their operations to defeat ISIS. The highly effective Syrian Democratic Forces, or SDF, are a multi-ethnic and multi-sectarian force that are fighting ISIS,often to liberate their own hometowns in northern Syria.The U.S. is providing training and equipment to the Syrian Arab Coalition, which is a predominantly Arab component of the SDF.
在叙利亚北部，他说，美国和联盟顾问继续打击伊斯兰国的行动。高效的叙利亚民主力量（SDF）是一个正在打击伊斯兰国的多种族和多宗派的力量，他们常常解放自己在叙利亚北部的家园。美国为叙利亚阿拉伯联盟提供培训和装备，它是叙利亚民主力量中主要由阿拉伯人组成的联盟。

Coalition-supported forces have retaken more than 45 percent of the territory ISIS had seized in Syria,and within this territory, liberated over 1.4 million people in Syria.The SDF, said Captain Davis, “have not been matched by any other partner, any other party or player on the ground in terms of their ability to defeat ISIS and reclaim territory and liberate it.”
联盟支持的武装力量已经重新夺回伊斯兰国在叙利亚占领的超过百分之四十五的领土，这块领土上，140多万人在叙利亚被解放。叙利亚民主武装力量，戴维斯上校说，还没有任何其他伙伴、党派和参与者能比得上，包括打击伊斯兰国、收回并解放领土方面的能力。

Tabqa, a city along the Euphrates River, was liberated recently by the SDF as was the Tabqa Dam, the largest hydroelectric plant in Syria.The recapture of these two sites is important in preparation for isolating Raqqa, the capital of ISIS’ self-proclaimed caliphate.
塔布卡，幼发拉底河沿岸的一个城市，最近被叙利亚民主武装力量解放，塔布卡大坝的控制权也被夺回，它是叙利亚最大的水电站。重新夺回这两个地点对于准备隔离拉卡而言是重要的，拉卡是伊斯兰国自称的哈里发帝国的首都。

In Iraq, the battle to regain control of West Mosul continues. With each passing day, ISIS control over western Mosul is getting smaller and smaller and is now limited to the old city of western Mosul and the area immediately surrounding it to the west and north.The progress there by Iraqi Security Forces has been substantial, said Captain Davis.
在伊拉克，重新夺回西摩苏尔控制权的战争还在继续。随着时间的流逝，伊斯兰国对摩苏尔西部地区的控制范围越来越小，现在只限于摩苏尔西部地区的老城和紧贴老城附近的西部和北部地区。伊拉克安全部队在那里取得重大进展，戴维斯上校说。

Iraqi Security Forces continue to make progress against stiff resistance in West Mosul. These Iraqi Security Forces are supported by international coalition combat advisors, as well as air and artillery strikes, intelligence and logistical support, and training to enhance the long-term effectiveness of the Iraqi Security Forces.The U.S. and Coalition forces have trained more than 100,000 members of the Iraqi Security Forces and over 10,000 Iraqi police to date.As a result, they are successfully dismantling the lethal network of traps, improvised explosive devices, and fortifications that have been left behind in Mosul.
伊拉克安全部队继续对西摩苏尔的顽强抵抗进行打击并取得进展。伊拉克安全部队受到了国际联盟作战顾问、空袭和火炮袭击的支持，还有情报和后勤支持，并接受培训来加强伊拉克安全部队的长期有效性。美国和联盟部队迄今为止已经培训了10万多名伊拉克安全部队成员和1万多名伊拉克警察。因此，他们成功地拆毁了致命的陷阱网、简易的爆炸装置和被留在摩苏尔的防御工事。

The U.S. and its coalition partners are dealing ISIS a lasting defeat.
美国和其联盟伙伴打击伊斯兰国，使其再也不能翻身。
