 Amber看世界 2021-05-21

Guatemala security forces are attempting to block thousands of Honduran migrants from heading north towards Mexico and the U.S. border.

危地马拉安全部队正试图阻止数千名洪都拉斯移民向北前往墨西哥和美国边境。

On Sunday, police and soldiers in riot gear confronted a caravan of migrants from Honduras on a highway near Chiquimula in southeastern Guatemala. 

周日,身穿防暴装备的警察和士兵在危地马拉东南部奇基穆拉附近的一条高速公路上与来自洪都拉斯的移民大篷车发生了对峙。

After a tense standoff, in which police fired tear gas and attempted to beat back the migrants with batons, the surging crowd broke through a phalanx of soldiers.

在一场紧张的对峙中,警察发射了催泪瓦斯,并试图用警棍击退移民,之后,涌动的人群冲破了士兵组成的方阵。

Guillermo Díaz, Guatemala's top immigration official, says that since Friday 7,000-8,000 Hondurans have crossed in to Guatemala in an "irregular" manner.

危地马拉最高移民官员吉列尔莫·迪亚兹说,自上周五以来,已有七千到八千洪都拉斯人以“不正常”的方式进入危地马拉。

"We are very concerned about this situation," Díaz says in a video on his department's Facebook page. 

“我们非常关注这种情况,”迪亚兹在他所在部门脸书页面上的一段视频中说。

"These people who've formed this caravan or are forming into a caravan...is a very difficult situation to manage." 

“这些人已经或正在组成一个商队……这是一个非常难以管理的局面。”

Guatemala has set up checkpoints on main roads leading to and from the Honduran border. 

危地马拉在通往洪都拉斯边境的主要道路上设立了检查站。

However, Díaz says many of the migrants have left the main roads and are now arriving in towns in the middle of the country. 

然而,迪亚兹说,许多移民已经离开了主要道路,现在正抵达这个国家中部的城镇。

Officials are very worried, he adds, because another group of roughly the same size is on its way.

他补充说,官员们非常担心,因为另一个规模大致相同的组织正在赶来。

"We hope this situation stops," he says. 

“我们希望这种情形能够尽快停止,”他说。

"And this flow of migrants ends."

“也希望这种移民潮可以停下来。”

Mexican authorities praised the Guatemalan government's forceful response to the migrants. 

墨西哥当局赞扬了危地马拉政府对移民的强硬回应。

Mexico has beefed up security on its own southern border with Guatemala in anticipation of the caravan. 

墨西哥已经在与危地马拉接壤的南部边境加强了安全防范,以应对大篷车的到来。

Mexico also sent six buses south to help transport Hondurans back to their home country. 

墨西哥还向南部派遣了六辆巴士,帮助把洪都拉斯人送回他们的祖国。

The Mexican Secretary for Foreign Affairs issued a statement calling on Honduran officials to do more to stop the "irregular flow" of citizens through the region.

墨西哥外交部长发表声明,呼吁洪都拉斯官员采取更多行动,阻止公民“不正常流动”通过该地区。

But migrants in the caravan say they have little choice but to march north.

但是大篷车里的移民说,他们别无选择,只能向北行进。

"We don't want to live in Honduras anymore," Ana Murillo told the French news agency Agence France-Presse. 

“我们不想再住在洪都拉斯了,”安娜·穆里洛告诉法国通讯社法新社说。

Standing with a group of migrants beside a busy road in southern Guatemala, she says Hondurans have been badly affected by hurricanes Eta and Iota, which slammed into the country in November. 

她和一群移民站在危地马拉南部一条繁忙的公路旁,她说,洪都拉斯人受到去年11月袭击该国的埃塔和伊奥塔飓风的严重影响。

Honduras also suffers from incredibly high rates of violent crime and the pandemic has crippled the economy.

洪都拉斯的暴力犯罪率高得令人难以置信,艾滋病的流行也使经济陷入瘫痪。

"There isn't any work. There are no opportunities," she says. 

“没有工作。没有机会,”她说。

A light blue cloth face mask hangs from her chin, several bags and children are at her feet. 

一个浅蓝色的面罩挂在她的下巴上,几个袋子和孩子在她的脚边。

"We are leaving because we don't want to suffer further."

“我们离开是因为我们不想再遭受更多的痛苦。”
