CNN News: 摩蘇爾戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng) 第二位美軍士兵死亡

First story this Tuesday -- it`s been almost seven months since the battle begun to retake the Iraqi city of Mosul. The ISIS terrorist group overran Mosul back in 2014. It was Iraq`s second largest city and it became ISIS`s most important stronghold in the country.

周二頭條新聞,自收復(fù)伊拉克城市摩蘇爾戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)以來(lái),戰(zhàn)斗已經(jīng)7個(gè)月了. ISIS恐怖組織自2014年占據(jù)了摩蘇爾. 摩蘇爾是伊拉克第二大城市,同時(shí)也成為IS在伊拉克的最重要的據(jù)點(diǎn)之一.

But they`re losing their grip on it. Iraqi and international forces, supported by U.S. troops, launched an effort to retake the city last October. It`s been a long hard fight.

但是,現(xiàn)在IS逐漸失去了對(duì)摩蘇爾的控制.伊拉克和由美國(guó)部隊(duì)支持的國(guó)際武裝部隊(duì),于去年10月份發(fā)動(dòng)了收復(fù)摩蘇爾的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng).這是一場(chǎng)長(zhǎng)期艱難的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng).

The coalition liberated the eastern part of the city in January and they have been trying to clear out the western parts since then. But though they have the advantage with about 100,000 coalition troops versus a much smaller force of terrorists, ISIS is so dug in. They`ve been using tunnels, explosive traps, human shields, that it`s been difficult to get to them.

今年1月份聯(lián)合解放了這座城市的東部,之后則試圖清除西部的IS恐怖組織. 盡管與IS小部分的控住分子相比較,10萬(wàn)人的聯(lián)合部隊(duì)占有很大的優(yōu)勢(shì),但是IS計(jì)謀太多.他們使用隧道、爆炸陷阱,人體盾牌,這讓聯(lián)合部隊(duì)很難找到這些恐怖分子.

Over the weekend, a U.S. soldier died while on patrol in Mosul. Army First Lieutenant Weston Lee was hit by an explosive device. He was the second American military death in the battle.

上周末,一名美國(guó)士兵在摩蘇爾巡邏時(shí)死亡. 第一位是陸軍中尉韋斯頓李,其遭受爆炸裝置擊中.這是在摩蘇爾戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中死亡的第二位美軍.
