2020考研英语时事阅读:在叙利亚的土耳其车队遭空袭

Turkey has sent significant numbers of tanks and troops deep into Syria in an apparent bid to reinforce the town of Khan Sheikhun, where 92 people died in a 2017 sarin gas attack, one of the war’s most infamous atrocities. Columns of Turkish forces, amounting to Ankara’s largest incursion into Syria of the eight-year conflict, crossed the southern border into Idlib province early on Monday, accompanied by Arab proxy forces.

Their advance was slowed by regime airstrikes that stopped them reaching the town in southern Idlib, where a battle continues to rage between anti-Assad groups and forces fighting on behalf of the Syrian leader. Ankara decried the airstrikes, and claimed its convoy was travelling towards outposts already established in the region under an agreement with Russia. Turkey claimed the airstrike hit its convoy, killing three civilians.

The intervention comes at a pivotal time in the fight for Idlib – the last corner of Syria without a regime presence – and was seen as a move to bolster a withering armed opposition and a beleaguered population of more than 3 million people.

【参考译文】

土耳其已向叙利亚深处派出了大量坦克和部队，显然是为了加强罕谢昆镇的防备，这个地方在2017年经历过沙林毒气袭击，92人丧生，这也是这场(叙利亚)战争中最臭名昭著的暴行之一。一排一排的土耳其部队，数量差不多是叙利亚八年战争冲突中最大一次入侵，周一早些时候越过南部边境进入伊德利卜省，陪着的有阿拉伯代理人军队。

政权空袭阻止、放缓了他们前往伊德利卜南部的城镇的脚步，而在这样一个地方，反阿萨德团体和代表叙利亚领导人的部队之间的战斗仍然持续激烈。安卡拉谴责空袭，并声称其车队当时正在前往前哨的路上，而这前哨是早前就已经与俄罗斯达成协议在该地区建成的。土耳其宣称空袭袭击其车队，造成3名平民死亡。

这场干预是在争夺伊德利卜的关键时刻，伊德利卜是叙利亚没有政权存在的最后一个角落，并被视为支持一个萎缩的武装反对派和一个300多万人口被围困的举动。
