CNN News: 美國二戰(zhàn)以來比較大海外軍力部署

First story this Thursday, it`s about one of the largest U.S. military deployments in Europe since the Cold War. It`s not just several thousand U.S. troops who recently arrived in Germany. It`s tanks, armored trucks, artillery, twenty-four hundred pieces of military equipment. And it will be spread out across Eastern Europe.

今天的頭條新聞是關于自冷戰(zhàn)以來，美國在歐洲最大的一次軍事部署。不只是數千美國士兵最近抵達德國。這是坦克、裝甲卡車、火炮、數千個軍事設備。它將分散在東歐。

This is part of an American effort to show it`s committed to NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. That wasz formed in 1949 by European countries and the U.S., as a sort of guard against the Soviet Union.

這是美國表示自己致力于北約。北大西洋公約組織成立于1949年，由歐洲國家和美國組成，目的是防范蘇聯。

Today, NATO members are concerned about Russia. The country has supported the pro-Russian forces who are fighting Ukrainian government troops in eastern Ukraine, and Russia controversially took over Crimea, a region of Ukraine, in early 2014.

現在，北大西洋公約組織對俄羅斯表示擔憂。俄羅斯支持對抗烏克蘭政府的親俄羅斯武裝部隊，結果在2014年初，俄羅斯占領了烏克蘭的克里米亞半島，引發(fā)爭議。

At that time, the vast majority of people in Crimea voted to make their region part of Russia, instead of Ukraine. But Russia`s takeover was something that Ukraine and several other countries, including the U.S., did not accept, and it troubled leaders throughout NATO, including those in Latvia.

當時，大部分克里米亞半島人民投票希望克里米亞成為俄羅斯的一部分。但是，對于俄羅斯占領克里米亞的行為，烏克蘭以及包括美國在內的其他國家都不同意。同時這一行為也引發(fā)了北約組織領導人的擔憂，其中就包括拉脫維亞。

That`s where some U.S. troops are currently engaged in training exercises.

美軍現在在拉脫維亞從事軍事演習。
