The Trump administration has begun constructing a border wall along a stretch of the Rio Grande in the Big Bend region of West Texas, marking the first major construction in an area of the U.S.-Mexico border where the government's plans have encountered strong opposition.

特朗普政府已开始在得克萨斯州西部大弯地区一段边境线修建隔离墙这标志着在美墨边境一个政府计划遭遇强烈反对的地区首次进行重大建设

The commencement of this construction marks a significant milestone for a government programme worth 46 billion dollars in total.

这一建设的启动标志着政府一项总额达460亿美元的计划取得了重要里程碑

The programme is intended to fortify the border line through walls, barriers, roads and technological means, so as to fulfil President Donald Trump's key campaign pledge to complete the border wall.

该计划旨在通过墙体、屏障、道路及技术手段沿边境线进行布防以兑现唐纳德·特朗普总统完成边境墙关键竞选承诺

This move comes at a time when Customs and Border Protection has stated that its pace of building the border wall along the entire US-Mexico border has doubled.

此举正值海关与边境保护局表示在整条美墨边境线上修建边境墙的速度已翻倍之际。

In a statement to reporters, Customs and Border Protection said that "installation of border wall panels is underway" at a 47-mile section in Hudspeth County in western Texas, known as Big Bend Sector 1.

海关与边境保护局在给记者的声明中表示,“边境墙面板安装正在进行中”,地点位于得克萨斯州西部哈德斯佩思县一段47英里的区域被称为大弯1号

The Big Bend area stretches about 500 miles in total, extending from Hudspeth County south of El Paso all the way to Amistad Lake, and comprises five project areas.

大弯地区全长约500英里埃尔帕索以南的哈德斯佩思县一直延伸到阿米斯塔德湖共由五个项目区组成

The agency said that the first panels were erected on September 15.

该机构首批面板于9月15日竖立

On a map posted on the agency's website that shows the progress of construction along the entire southern border wall, a photograph shows a crane hoisting a 30-foot-high steel wall panel into place while construction workers look on.

在该机构网站发布的一张展示整个南部边境墙建设动态地图上,一张照片显示一台起重机将一块30英尺高的钢制墙板吊装到位,建筑工人旁观

This new development is separate from the border infrastructure project in the nearby Big Bend National Park, whose construction the government has temporarily halted in an attempt to communicate with its opponents.

这一新动向与附近大弯国家公园的边境基础设施项目是分开的,政府已暂时中止该项目的建设,试图与反对者进行沟通。

In the wider Big Bend region of Texas, Customs and Border Protection has encountered united opposition from landowners, environmental groups, business owners, and ranchers, who say this remote area is not a high-traffic zone for illegal immigration.

在得克萨斯州更广阔的大弯地区海关与边境保护局遭到了土地所有者环保组织企业主牧场主联合反对他们表示这个偏远地区并非非法移民高流量区域

On Friday, activists declared that even while panel installation work is underway, they will continue to resist border infrastructure projects in the remaining sections of the Big Bend region.

活动人士于周五宣称,即便面板安装工作正在进行之中,他们仍将持续抵制大弯地区其余地段的边境基础设施建设项目。

Clara Benson, one of the founders of the "No Border Wall in the Big Bend Coalition," said in an interview on Friday that the organization keeps receiving reports that trucks are hauling supplies to remote areas along the Rio Grande and that contractors are clearing sites to store materials.

“不要大弯墙联盟”创始人之一克拉拉·本森周五接受采访时称,该组织不断收到报告,称卡车正将物资运往里奥格兰德河沿岸偏远地区,承包商正在清理场地以存放物资。

However, when she met with lawmakers in Washington, D.C., alongside other members of the coalition, she made it clear that the organization and other related groups would continue to resist the wall plan in the region.

然而,她在华盛顿特区与联盟其他成员一同会见议员时明确表示,该组织及其他相关组织将持续在该地区抵制建墙计划。

"Regardless of how this ultimately turns out, we will remain unwavering in our fight for this land.

无论最终结局如何,我们都将矢志不渝地为这片土地而战

We will fight to the very end," Benson stated.

我们将战斗到底,”本森表示

"If you talk to people in West Texas, they will tell you that even if they get it built, we will strive to force them to tear it down.

倘若得克萨斯州西部的人交谈,他们会告诉你即便他们将其建成我们也要力争迫使他们将其拆除

Therefore, this struggle is far from over."

因此这场斗争远未终结。”

The news emerged as the government is accelerating a plan to fortify the entire border line: a 30-foot-high steel bollard wall, barriers designed to stop vehicles from crossing, newly built patrol roads, and various technological means to deter and detect crossings by migrants or smugglers.

这一消息传出之际,政府正加速推进一项计划,即沿整条边境线布防:以30英尺高的钢制柱墙、旨在阻止车辆越境的屏障、新建巡逻道路及各类技术手段,对移民或走私者的越境行为形成威慑与侦查。

U.S. Customs and Border Protection said it is building barriers along the 2,000-mile Mexican border at an average pace of 12 miles per week, and recently reached the milestone of 200 miles of new barriers since the second Trump administration took office.

海关与边境保护局表示,他们正沿2000英里的墨西哥边境以平均每周12英里的速度修建屏障,近期达到了自第二届特朗普政府上任以来新建200英里屏障的里程碑。

The average of 12 miles per week is twice the pace that Rodney Scott, the agency's head, mentioned earlier this year.

每周12英里的平均值,达到了该机构负责人罗德尼·斯科特今年早些时候所提及速度的两倍。

The agency is facing opposition from multiple quarters: environmental organizations, a town concerned that the border wall could trigger local flooding, Native Americans who claim the construction has disrupted sacred sites, and landowners who say the construction will encroach on their land.

该机构正面临来自多方的反对环保组织、一个担心边境墙可能引发本地洪灾小镇声称建设扰乱了圣地美洲原住民以及称建设将侵犯其土地土地所有者

In Texas, the outcry has largely centred on the agency's plans for Big Bend National Park.

在得克萨斯州反对声浪主要集中于该机构针对大弯国家公园所制定的规划

Situated along the Rio Grande in the south-west of the state, the park draws visitors from around the world.

这座公园坐落于该州西南部里奥格兰德河沿岸,吸引着来自世界各地游客

Beyond the park, however, the vast majority of land along the river, both upstream and downstream, is held by private owners, many of whom are resistant to the government's measures.

然而在公园之外河流上下游地带绝大部分土地归私人所有者持有其中不少人对政府的相关举措持抵制态度

Earlier this week, landowners, ranchers and business owners in the Big Bend area, along with a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the region's landscape and heritage, filed a joint lawsuit in an effort to block the government's plans.

本周早些时候大弯地区土地所有者牧场主企业主以及一个致力于保护该地区景观遗产的非营利组织,共同提起诉讼力图阻止政府的相关计划

Activists and landowners also appeared at county meetings, urging elected officials not to cooperate with the wall-building contractors hired by Customs and Border Protection, and many landowners have refused to allow government officials or contractors onto their land to conduct surveys.
