CNN News: 衛(wèi)星圖像揭秘 ISIS首都拉卡市近況

With new satellite images, we're able to take you inside a repressed, dangerous city. It's our first story today on cnn 10 and we're glad you could watch.
在新衛(wèi)星圖片的幫助下，我們將能夠帶大家走進一座壓抑又危險的城市。這是今天cnn10分鐘新聞的第一條，謝謝大家收看。
Raqqa is located in northern Syria. Before that country's civil war broke out in 2011, more than 200,000 people live in Raqqa. We don't know how many are there now, largely because the city is controlled by ISIS, Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. The terrorist group took over in 2013 and declared Raqqa its capital.
拉卡市位于敘利亞北部。敘利亞內(nèi)戰(zhàn)于2011年爆發(fā)，內(nèi)戰(zhàn)爆發(fā)前拉卡市有20多萬人口。我們不清楚目前拉卡市有多少人口，因為該市現(xiàn)在被“伊斯蘭國”（ISIS）控制。ISIS即在伊拉克和敘利亞境內(nèi)活動的“伊斯蘭國”。這個恐怖組織于2013年占領(lǐng)了拉卡市，并宣布拉卡市為其“首都”。
Now, a battle is brewing to force ISIS out. The U.S. and its allies have been launching airstrikes against terrorist targets in Raqqa since 2014.
現(xiàn)在，驅(qū)逐ISIS的戰(zhàn)役正在進行中。美國及其盟友自2014年開始實施打擊ISIS的空襲行動。
And coalition forces, who are supported by the U.S., have almost entirely surrounded the city. ISIS is expected to fight desperately to keep holding its self-declared capital.
打擊ISIS的軍事聯(lián)盟由美國支持，他們幾乎完全包圍了拉卡市。據(jù)估計ISIS將拼死守住其自命的首都。
So, what's it like inside Raqqa?
那拉卡市內(nèi)部是什么樣的呢？
Satellite pictures provided to cnn give us an idea. They were taken on March 26th.
cnn獲得的衛(wèi)星圖片可以為我們提供一些信息。這些圖片拍攝于3月26日。
You can see apparent checkpoints outside what's believed to be ISIS headquarters and there are some damage there from what could have been an airstrike. Also visible nearby, a large shadow on the ground casts by an ISIS flag. Down the street, an old bridge in Raqqa has been cut off. It was likely disabled by a coalition airstrike.
我們可以清楚地看到ISIS大本營外面設(shè)置了檢查點，另外空襲行動也造成了一定的損壞。附近可見一面ISIS旗幟在地上投映出來的陰影。拉卡市的街道上，一座舊橋被毀斷。這座橋有可能是被聯(lián)盟軍的空襲行動所毀。
And in another part of town, tarps cover a street market. They help hide the movements of ISIS fighters from coalition drones. An analyst says there doesn't appear to be much destruction from the airstrikes and that there are signs that daily life goes on in Raqqa. But for how long?
在該市的另一區(qū)域，一個街頭市場被油布覆蓋。它們幫助ISIS武裝分子躲避聯(lián)盟軍的無人機偵察。一名分析人士表示，看起來空襲對該市沒有造成太多破壞，有跡象表明拉卡市的日常生活仍在繼續(xù)。但這會持續(xù)多久呢？
The battle is expected to begin in the coming weeks.
預(yù)計戰(zhàn)斗將在未來幾周內(nèi)打響。
