CNN News: 照片顯示被ISIS侵占的伊拉克城市摩蘇爾近況

It's been almost seven months since the battle begun to retake the Iraqi city of Mosul. The ISIS terrorist group overran Mosul back in 2014. It was Iraq's second largest city and it became ISIS's most important stronghold in the country.
奪回伊拉克城市摩蘇爾的戰(zhàn)役已持續(xù)了近七個月。ISIS恐怖組織在2014年侵占了摩蘇爾市。它曾是伊拉克的第二大城市，被侵占后成為ISIS在伊拉克最重要的據(jù)點。
But they're losing their grip on it. Iraqi and international forces, supported by U.S. troops, launched an effort to retake the city last October. It's been a long hard fight.
不過，ISIS正在逐漸失去對摩蘇爾的控制。去年10月，伊拉克軍隊以及美軍支持的國際部隊發(fā)起收復(fù)摩蘇爾之戰(zhàn)。這是一場長久又艱難的戰(zhàn)斗。
The coalition liberated the eastern part of the city in January and they have been trying to clear out the western parts since then. But though they have the advantage with about 100,000 coalition troops versus a much smaller force of terrorists, ISIS is so dug in. They've been using tunnels, explosive traps, human shields, that it's been difficult to get to them.
今年1月，聯(lián)盟軍解放了摩蘇爾市的東部地區(qū)，并一直努力清除摩蘇爾西部地區(qū)的ISIS力量。但是，雖然在人數(shù)上占據(jù)優(yōu)勢——聯(lián)盟軍以10萬名軍人對抗規(guī)模相對小很多的ISIS恐怖分子——但是ISIS已在該地區(qū)站穩(wěn)腳跟。他們利用地道、炸彈陷阱和人肉盾牌負隅頑抗，使得對付他們變得很困難。
Over the weekend, a U.S. soldier died while on patrol in Mosul. Army First Lieutenant Weston Lee was hit by an explosive device. He was the second American military death in the battle.
周末，一名美國士兵在摩蘇爾巡查期間死亡。美國陸軍中尉威斯頓·李（Weston Lee）被一個爆炸裝置擊中。他是在這場戰(zhàn)役中死亡的第二名美國軍人。
For a look at the effects this has had on the city, we're now able to take you inside, thanks to the work of photojournalist Gabriel Chaim.
多虧攝影記者加布里爾·查姆（Gabriel Chaim）提供的照片，我們現(xiàn)在才能帶大家去看看摩蘇爾市內(nèi)的情況，了解這場戰(zhàn)役對這座城市產(chǎn)生的影響。
