VOA常速英语:Cooperating to Combat Drug Trafficking(翻译)
接下来,是一篇反映美国政府观点的社论。
After a recent meeting in Washington between top U.S. and Mexican officials, both sides emphasized the need for a shared strategy to work together in the fight against transnational organized crime, particularly related to drug trafficking.
在最近于华盛顿举行的一场美墨高级官员会议之后,美墨两国都强调有必要采取一个共同的战略,来合作打击跨国有组织犯罪,特别是和毒品走私有关的犯罪问题。
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson stressed that the United States must own up to the fact that “we are the market. There is no other market for these activities…But for us, Mexico wouldn’t have the trans-criminal organized crime problem and the violence that they’re suffering.”
国务卿雷克斯·蒂勒森强调美国必须承认这样一个事实,“我们就是市场。这些活动没有其他的市场。如果不是我们,墨西哥就不会有这些有组织犯罪问题、以及他们现在正遭受的暴力。”
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said the most important thing the United States can do is reduce the drug demand. He praised the bravery of the Mexican military and police, many of whom have died in the fight against the drug cartels. He noted the cartels’ incredible brutality: “If you won’t take their bribe, they’ll kill your daughter and make their point that way.”
美国国土安全部部长约翰·克里表示称,美国能做到的最重要的事情就是减少毒品的需求。他对墨西哥军队和警察的勇敢表示了赞扬,他们许多人都在和毒品集团的斗争中牺牲了。他提到了这些毒品集团令人难以置信的野蛮:“如果你不接受他们的贿赂,他们就会杀了你的女儿,然后用这种方式来达成自己的目的。”
Secretary of State Tillerson said that in their meeting with Mexican Secretary of Foreign Relations Luis Vidgaray Caso and Mexican Secretary of Government Miguel Angel Osorio Chong, the delegations “identified fresh strategies to attack the business model of these multi-billion dollar criminal organizations,” including targeting “their means of production, their cross-border distribution networks, their cash flow and their weapons procurement.” The two sides also discussed improving information-sharing among law enforcement agencies on both sides of the border, and the best ways for both countries to recognize organizational connections in the criminal drug enterprises, as well the most effective means to bring the guilty to justice.
国务卿蒂勒森表示,在他们与墨西哥外交部长路易斯·卡索、以及墨西哥内政部长米格尔·安吉尔·奥索里奥的会议中,代表团“提出了新的策略来打击这些数十亿美元的犯罪组织经营模式”,包括针对“他们的生产资料、跨境分销网络、现金流和武器采购等”。他们还谈到了改善双方边境执法机构之间的信息共享、两国发现毒品犯罪团伙组织联系的最佳方式、以及将犯罪绳之以法最有效的方法。
Homeland Security Secretary Kelly spoke of the positive benefits of a physical barrier and the use of technology on the border between the two countries, as well. He added, however, that “it’s all about the people that patrol, talk to each other, police actions on both sides of the border. So there’s no one single solution to this. It’s a multifaceted problem and it needs multifaceted solutions.”
国土安全部部长克里谈到了在两国边境建立物理屏障和使用技术的积极好处。但是他也表示,“那也仅仅只是派遣人员巡逻、边境执法人员互相交流、派驻警察在边境两边执行任务。因此对于这个问题来说,没有一个单一的解决方案。这是一个多方面的问题,需要多方面的解决办法。”
As Mexican Government Secretary Osorio Chong said, the discussions between the U.S. and Mexican officials offered “a good path” to finding such solutions in the fight against drug trafficking.
正如墨西哥内政部长奥索里奥所说的那样,美墨两国官员之间的讨论提供了一条寻找打击毒品走私问题解决方案的“良好路径”。
