Mexico Cracks Down on Drug Cartels (2/2)



 大意
The US supports Mexico to fight against drug trafficking.


 听写
President Bush has asked the US Congress to provide Mexico with close to 1 and a half billion dollars in assistance to help fight the drug cartels. Mexican President Felipe Calderon? began a major offensive against the criminal organizations shortly after taking office in December 20067. The going has been tough for both the law enforcement groups and the general public, as rival gangs fight the police and each other. Drug violence claimeds more than 2,500 lives in Mexico last year. Most of the violence has been in the border region where both drug and human smuggling gangs operate, often with the protection of local police. In an effort to crack down on violence and police corruption, Mexico Military Units went into the border cities of Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa and Matamoros? Tuesday, disarming local police and carrying out investigations. The Mexican army carried out operations last week, on the western end of the border in the city of Tijuana?, where soldiers and federal police engaged in 3-hour gun battle last Thursday, that ended with the death of 1 gunman and the wounding of 4 police officers. Police detained 5 alleged cartel drug cartel gunmen on in the raid.


 生词
那些墨西哥人名和地名……


 翻译
布什呼吁美国国会为墨西哥提供将近15亿美元的资金协助打击毒品组织。墨西哥总统FC在06年12月上台后不久就开始了打击犯罪的行动。这一行动对执法机构和公众都很棘手，因为罪犯和警察，罪犯之间都有冲突。毒品引发的暴力去年造成了2500人死亡，其中多数发生在毒品、人口走私都十分猖獗的边境地区，通常有当地警察的保护。在一次打击暴力和警察腐败的行动中，墨西哥军事组星期二进入了边境城市，没收了当地警察的武装并展开调查。上周，墨西哥军队在西部边境城市T展开行动，士兵和联邦警察一起于星期四在当地进行了长达三个小时的枪战，杀死了一名持枪歹徒，4名警察受伤。行动中警察逮捕了5名涉嫌毒品组织的持枪人员。


 总结
今天终于明白很黄很暴力是怎么来的了，翻译到暴力想起来的，呵，中国人真有意思……
