CNN News: 哥倫比亞政府與FARC或可能簽署和平協(xié)議

We`re getting started today with a potential peace treaty in the South American nation of Columbia. I say potential because voters had the final word yesterday and we didn`t have results yet when we produce this show.

今天的頭條新聞是關(guān)于哥倫比亞政府和哥倫比亞革命武裝力量將有可能簽署和平協(xié)議?？赡芎炇鹗且?yàn)樽蛱?，選民做了最后的表決。現(xiàn)在節(jié)目播出時(shí)，我們尚沒有得到最終的結(jié)果。

But here`s what this is all about. For 52 years, a rebel group called the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia, also known as FARC, has been fighting against the Columbian government. That government is a presidential republic. FARC is a Marxist group supporting a redistribution of wealth and opposing international influence in businesses in Columbia. It`s been largely funded by the illegal drug trade.

以下是關(guān)于協(xié)議雙方的介紹：52年以來，反動組織哥倫比亞革命武裝力量，也稱為FARC，一直在對抗哥倫比亞政府。哥倫比亞政府是總統(tǒng)共和制。FARC支持財(cái)富重新分配，反對對哥倫比亞企業(yè)施加國際影響力。其資金主要來源于非法的毒品交易。

The U.S. labels FARC a terrorist group. It`s used guerilla tactics, raids, bombings, sabotage, kidnappings, in its five decade war against the government. An estimated 220,000 people have died.

美國譴責(zé)FARC恐怖組織。50多年來，F(xiàn)ARC采用游擊、突襲、爆炸、破壞、綁架等行為對抗哥倫比亞政府。據(jù)估計(jì)，導(dǎo)致22萬人死亡。

But last week, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and FARC leader Rodrigo Londono signed a peace agreement which could end Latin America`s longest running war. As part of the deal, FARC would give up its weapons and convert from a guerilla group to a left wing political party. It also said it would pay reparations to victims of the war.

但上周,哥倫比亞總統(tǒng)胡安·曼努埃爾·桑托斯和FARC領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人Rodrigo Londono簽署了一份和平協(xié)議，這份協(xié)議將結(jié)束拉丁美洲歷時(shí)最長的戰(zhàn)爭。作為交易的一部分,FARC將放棄其武器,并從游擊隊(duì)轉(zhuǎn)換為一個(gè)左翼政黨。FARC還表示將為戰(zhàn)爭的受害者支付賠款。

The agreement has extensive international support from the U.S. and the U.N., to Central and South American nations. And polls showed it had a good chance of passing with Colombian voters. But critics feel it doesn`t go far enough to punish FARC fighters for their crimes.

該協(xié)議已經(jīng)得到了美國、聯(lián)合國以及美洲中部和南美洲國家等廣泛的國際支持。民意調(diào)查顯示，哥倫比亞選民將會通過該協(xié)議。但是批評人士認(rèn)為這項(xiàng)協(xié)議對FARC所犯的罪行，懲罰力度遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠。
