索馬里 被世界遺忘的災(zāi)難角落

Somalia is a nation that extends out between the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. It`s just a little smaller than Texas. And for years, Somalia has been considered a failed state because of tremendous problems brought on by war, natural disasters, famine and terrorism.

索馬里是位于亞丁灣和印度洋之間的一個國家。其面積僅比德克薩斯州小一些。多年來，由于戰(zhàn)爭、自然災(zāi)害、饑荒以及恐怖主義等帶來的巨大的問題，索馬里一直被認為是一個糟糕的國家。

Al Shabaab is the name of an Islamic militant group that`s been fighting the Somali government for more than 10 years. Al Shabaab no longer controls the capital, Mogadishu, but it`s been responsible for a number of deadly car bomb attacks in the city. That`s why it`s the main suspect in an assault that happened over the weekend.

索馬里圣戰(zhàn)組織“青年黨” 是一個伊斯蘭激進組織的名字，其對抗索馬里政府已經(jīng)十余年。索馬里青年黨已經(jīng)不再控制索馬里首都摩加迪休，但是，它要為該城市發(fā)生的數(shù)起致命的汽車爆炸襲擊案件負責(zé)。這也是在上周末發(fā)生的一場襲擊事件中，為何青年黨會是主要的嫌疑對象。

Two car bombs went off near a popular hotel in the heart of Mogadishu. The initial blast killed at least 300 people, making it Somalia`s deadliest attack in years. Hundreds of others were hospitalized and more than 30 of them were too badly injured to be treated in Somalia. They had to be airlifted to Turkey for medical care.

在摩加迪休中心地帶一個受歡迎的賓館附近，兩輛汽車發(fā)生爆炸。最初發(fā)生的爆炸導(dǎo)致至少300人死亡，這是數(shù)年來索馬里發(fā)生的最嚴重的一次襲擊事件。數(shù)百人被運往醫(yī)院接受治療，但是其中30多人傷情過重?zé)o法在索馬里接受治療。他們需要乘飛機到土耳其接受醫(yī)護治療。

Somalia`s president blamed al Shabaab for what he called a heinous act, though the terrorist group didn`t initially say it was responsible. It usually does.

索馬里總統(tǒng)斥責(zé)青年黨，稱“這種令人發(fā)指的行為”，盡管索馬里青年黨最初并沒有表示對此事件負責(zé)。但是，通常，它都為這些事件負責(zé)。

Some Somalis have turned out to publicly demonstrate against the group. The nation is observing three days of mourning for the victims.

一些索馬里人已經(jīng)公開表示反對該組織。這個國家為遇難者默哀三天。
