VOA慢速英語： 美阿共同建立網(wǎng)絡(luò)中心反抗IS

The United States and United Arab Emirates launched a joint effort Wednesday to counter the Islamic State militants on social media.

周三，美國和阿聯(lián)酋共同對付活躍在社交媒體上的伊斯蘭極端分子。

The Sawab Center, based in Abu Dhabi, uses social media to confront the militants’ efforts to recruit members. It also presents “moderate and tolerant voices from across the region.”

總部在阿布扎比的Sawab中心運用社交媒體應(yīng)付伊斯蘭極端組織招募士兵的活動。這也同時代表了區(qū)域內(nèi)“謙遜和容忍”的聲音。

The Arabic word “sawab,” means “right” or “correct” -- as in, “the right path.” The center has sent messages on Twitter and posted a YouTube video sayingthe Islamic State is changing the meaning of Islam to spread hate, fear, and intolerance.

阿拉伯語Sawab，意思是“正確的”，也就是“正確的道路”。該中心在推特上發(fā)帖子。并在YOUTUBE上發(fā)視頻，說明伊斯蘭極端組織扭曲伊斯蘭教義，傳播仇恨，恐懼和偏狹。

Richard Stengel is the U.S. Under-Secretary of State for Public Diplomacyand Public Affairs. In an interview with Alhurra, Mr. Stengel says the SawabCenter aims to use information to prevent people from joining the IslamicState.

美國國務(wù)卿下屬的公共外交人理查德在接受自由電視臺采訪時表示，Sawab中心旨在運用信息防止人們加入伊斯蘭極端組織。

"One of the ideas of the Sawab Center and what we do in terms of messaging ourselves from Washington is to try to stem the flow of foreign fighters. To, ifsomebody is debating whether to go, tell them that the mythology of whatDaesh [Islamic State] is creating is false, you know, the caliphate isn't a paradise -- there's no plumbing, there's no electricity, there's no Internetaccess."

Sawab中心其中的一個想法就是我們接受華盛頓方面的消息，來阻止人們加入外來武裝部隊。同樣，如果人們討論決定是否去留，我們將會告知他們伊斯蘭組織所謂的神話傳說是虛偽的，哈里發(fā)并不是人間天堂——那里沒有下水管道，沒有電，沒有網(wǎng)絡(luò)。

Mr. Stengel says the center hopes to “take offline” those who are using socialmedia to recruit new members for IS.

史丹格表示，該中心希望能夠使那些運用社交媒體為伊斯蘭組織征募新成員的人們下線。

The U.S.-led coalition has launched more than 5,000 airstrikes against theIslamic State in the past year. But the goals are to stop the flow of new foreignfighters and cutting off funding to the militant group.

以美國為首的同盟軍去年在反抗伊斯蘭極端組織中組織了5.000多次空襲?？找u目標是組織新成員的加入和切斷軍事組織的資金供給。

The under-secretary said the coalition of more than 60 nations is seeing somesuccess. But he also said that the fight against IS and terrorism in general is a “generational struggle,” - one that will not be won quickly. He adds that,

史丹格稱60多個國家的同盟軍的努力看到了成果。但他同時表示，反抗極端組織和恐怖主義是“幾代人的斗爭”，一代人是不可能完成的，他補充道，

"I think it's not realistic to say that any form of terrorism will go away, or thatany manifestation of Daesh or ISIL will go away, but as an acute threat, as an existential threat, as an expanding threat, that will be reversed and it already isbeing reversed.”

“我認為說恐怖主義遠離我們或者說任何極端組織消失是不現(xiàn)實的，但是他們作為一個嚴重威脅，一個關(guān)乎人類存在的威脅。他們遲早會被推翻，并且已經(jīng)在被改變”
