CNN News: 美國(guó)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(guān)于自冷戰(zhàn)以來，美國(guó)在歐洲最大的一次軍事部署。不只是數(shù)千美國(guó)士兵最近抵達(dá)德國(guó)。這是坦克、裝甲卡車、火炮、數(shù)千個(gè)軍事設(shè)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(guó)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(guó)家和美國(guó)組成，目的是防范蘇聯(lián)。

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(xiàn)在，北大西洋公約組織對(duì)俄羅斯表示擔(dān)憂。俄羅斯支持對(duì)抗烏克蘭政府的親俄羅斯武裝部隊(duì)，結(jié)果在2014年初，俄羅斯占領(lǐng)了烏克蘭的克里米亞半島，引發(fā)爭(zhēng)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(dāng)時(shí)，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(duì)于俄羅斯占領(lǐng)克里米亞的行為，烏克蘭以及包括美國(guó)在內(nèi)的其他國(guó)家都不同意。同時(shí)這一行為也引發(fā)了北約組織領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的擔(dān)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(xiàn)在在拉脫維亞從事軍事演習(xí)。
