No sooner had the text alert sounded than the explosion followed.

短信警报方才响起,爆炸声便随之而来。

Robert Marian, 48, lives in Isaccea, a small border town on the Danube in Romania's eastern Tulcea County, which has a crossing point into Ukraine.

现年48岁的罗伯特·马里安居住在伊萨克恰——这是罗马尼亚东部图尔恰县多瑙河沿岸的一座边境小镇设有通往乌克兰的一处过境点

For Marian, Russian drone strikes are alarmingly closejust across the river, no more than a few hundred metres awayand have become a source of persistent fear he cannot shake.

对马里安而言俄罗斯无人机袭击近在咫尺仅一河之隔相距不过数百米已然成为挥之不去的恐惧之源

"There was an alarm warning us that something was approaching," he said.

有警报在提示我们某种东西即将逼近,”他说

"It happened about two weeks ago, maybe three weeks ago.

大约发生在两周前或许是三周前

At midnight, I was asleep... One of the sounds was relatively faint, while the other was deafening.

午夜时分我正睡着……其中一个声响相对微弱而另一个却震耳欲聋

Terrified, I rushed out the door."

我惊恐万分夺门而出。”

As Russia's war in Ukraine drags on, incidents of drones entering Romanian airspace have risen sharply.

随着俄罗斯在乌克兰的战争持续进行进入罗马尼亚领空的无人机事件大幅增加

Explosions across the Danube serve as a reminder of just how close the war has come to NATO territoryat a time when many fear that Russian President Vladimir Putin may be seeking to test the alliance's resolve.

多瑙河对岸的爆炸声提醒人们战争距离北约领土有多么近——而此时许多人担心俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京可能想试探这个联盟的决心

On September 1, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that a border crossing point between Ukraine and Romania "was subjected to deliberate destruction... as well as export infrastructure."

乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基9月1日表示,乌克兰与罗马尼亚一个边境过境点遭到蓄意破坏……以及出口基础设施”。

The Romanian customs authority announced that same day that operations at the Isaccea-Orlivka crossing point had been temporarily suspended.

罗马尼亚海关当天宣布伊萨克恰-奥尔利夫卡过境点活动暂时暂停

Another resident of Isaccea, Alina Mihail, said that she felt a wave of nausea when she heard the drone alert and the explosions coming from the other side of the border.

另一位伊萨克恰居民阿丽娜·米哈伊尔表示,当她听到无人机警报以及边境对面传来的爆炸声时,她感到一阵恶心。

"For countless nights now, I have been unable to sleep peacefully," she said.

无数个夜晚我已再也无法安然入眠,”她说道

"My husband and I live under the shadow of fear day in and day out."

我与丈夫终日生活在恐惧的阴影之下。”

According to data from Romania's Ministry of National Defence, the number of drone incursions so far this year has quadrupled compared with the whole of 202527 versus 9while the number of drones and drone debris found on the territory of this NATO member state has more than doubled, to 37 items versus 16.

罗马尼亚国防部的数据显示,今年迄今为止,无人机入侵次数与2025年全年相比增加了三倍——27次对9次——而在这个北约成员国领土上发现的无人机和无人机残骸数量也增加了一倍多,为37件对16件。

So far this year, 73 attacks have occurred in areas of Ukrainian territory near the border, and about 56 military aircraft have been scrambled to "monitor and control the situation."

今年迄今,乌克兰领土上靠近边境的地区已发生73起袭击事件约56架军用飞机紧急升空,以“监视管控局势”。

Last year, by contrast, only 28 attacks took place near the border, with 21 aircraft scrambled.

而去年边境附近仅发生28起袭击21架飞机升空

In the first year of the war, moreover, only a single attack near the border was recorded.

战争爆发第一年边境附近更是仅有一例袭击见诸记录

In May of this year, a drone struck an apartment building in Galați, a city in the east along the Danube, injuring a mother and her child.

今年5月一架无人机撞上了多瑙河沿岸东部城市加拉茨一栋公寓楼致使一对母子受伤。

Last week, a drone that entered Romania from neighbouring Moldova was tracked across several counties before re-entering Moldova and crashing into a sunflower field.

上周,一架自邻国摩尔多瓦进入罗马尼亚无人机被追踪穿越数个县随后再度进入摩尔多瓦并坠毁于一片向日葵地中

Moscow has denied ever deploying combat drones on Romanian territory.

莫斯科方面否认曾向罗马尼亚领土部署作战无人机。

The escalating threat of drones intruding into Romanian airspacewith officials attributing several such incidents to Russiahas prompted this NATO member state to shoot down four drones this year, the first time it has done so since the war broke out in its neighbouring country.

无人机侵入罗马尼亚领空威胁不断升级——官员们将其中多起事件归咎于俄罗斯——这促使这个北约成员国今年击落了四架无人机为邻国战争爆发以来的首次

NATO countries across Europe have accused Moscow of orchestrating a series of "hybrid warfare" operations against them, including drone incursions, sabotage, an attempted attack on a German airport, and the firing of flares at a Danish helicopter in the Baltic Sea.

欧洲各地的北约国家指责莫斯科在幕后策划了一系列针对本国的“混合战争”行动,包括无人机入侵、破坏活动、对德国一个机场的未遂袭击,以及在波罗的海对一架丹麦直升机发射照明弹。

On 2 September, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that, as Moscow continues its war, "Russia has become increasingly reckless."

北约秘书长马克·吕特于9月2日表示,随着莫斯科继续其战争,“俄罗斯已变得越来越肆无忌惮”。

"We have witnessed more drones and missiles intruding into our airspace, flying along the eastern flank, which has given rise to a more serious risk," he stated.

我们目睹了更多无人机与导弹侵入我国领空沿东翼一带飞行由此酿成了更为严峻的风险,”他表示

"The threat posed by Russia is beyond doubt."

俄罗斯所构成的威胁是毋庸置疑的。”

Last week, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk also warned that he had received information from CIA Director Jim Ratcliffe indicating that Europe should be prepared to deal with intensified Russian provocations, including along the EU's eastern flank.

上周,波兰总理唐纳德·图斯克也警告称,他收到了中央情报局局长吉姆·拉特克利夫的信息,表明欧洲应准备好应对俄罗斯加剧的挑衅,包括在欧盟东翼。

Romanian Defence Minister Radu Miruță stated that, in the national defence strategy and NATO assessments, Russia is regarded as the "principal and major threat" to the eastern flank and to Romania.

罗马尼亚国防部长拉杜·米鲁察表示,在国防战略和北约评估中,俄罗斯被视为对东翼和罗马尼亚的“主要重大威胁”。

"We are discussing the capabilities required to counter this shared threatwe face the same risks as Poland and the Baltic statesand we are coordinating to ensure that these capabilities are deployed in a way that allows for interoperability," he said.

“我们正在就应对这一共同威胁所需的能力进行讨论——我们与波兰和波罗的海国家面临相同的风险——我们正在协调,以确保这些能力以允许互联互通的方式部署,”他说。

After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, NATO strengthened its presence on Europe's eastern flank by deploying additional multinational battlegroups to Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Slovakia.

2022年俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰后,北约通过向罗马尼亚、匈牙利、保加利亚和斯洛伐克增派多国战斗群,加强了其在欧洲东翼的存在。

However, last year, after Washington adjusted its military posture, the United States scaled back its troop deployments in Eastern Europe, including Romania, and officials denied that this move signalled a weakening of its commitment to NATO.

然而去年,在华盛顿调整军事姿态之后,美国缩减了在东欧包括罗马尼亚的兵力部署,官员们否认此举表明对北约承诺的减弱。

Miruță said that there are more than 1,000 US troops in Romania, which he noted is more than after last year's troop rotation.

米鲁察说罗马尼亚超过1000名美军他说比去年美军轮换后还要多

"We have a solid relationship," he said.

我们有着牢固的关系,”他说

"The security situation on the eastern flank is highly fluid."

东翼的安全态势非常多变。”

Mircea said that discussions about NATO's Article 5which stipulates that an attack on any member state can be met with a collective response — "could go in various directions," but he stated that Romania currently has no intelligence indicating that a ground invasion is imminent or likely to occur.

米鲁察说,关于北约第五条的讨论——该条款规定,对任一成员国的攻击均可通过集体回应来应对——“可能朝各种方向发展”,但他表示,罗马尼亚目前没有情报表明地面入侵即将发生或有可能发生。

"From this perspective, we can rest assured," he said.

从这个角度来看我们可以放心,”他说

He added that the persistent threat facing Romania is unique because Russia frequently attacks Ukraine's Danube ports, which lie very close to the opposite bank of the river that serves as a natural border.

他补充说罗马尼亚面临的持续威胁之所以独特是因为俄罗斯频繁袭击乌克兰的多瑙河港口而这些港口作为天然边界的河流对岸相距甚近

"Once the border is crossed, the distance involved is only a few dozen metres, leaving virtually no reaction time," he said.

一旦越过边界所涉及的距离仅有数十米几乎没有反应时间,”他说

"By contrast, in the Nordic countries, the targets are dozens of kilometres away, which provides a sufficiently comfortable window for various forms of intervention."

相比之下在北欧国家目标在数十公里之外为各种形式的干预提供了足够从容的窗口。”

In some areas, the sound of live gunfire from across the border is clearly audible, and it has long been a source of deep unease for Romanian residents.

边境对面实弹射击的声响在某些地区清晰可闻,长期以来令罗马尼亚居民深感不安。

"We watched the drones fly in, and we watched them head towards those ports," Miruța added.

我们目睹无人机飞来,目睹它们朝那些港口飞去,”米鲁察补充说

"Most of them stay there and bombard the port infrastructure, but we have no way of knowing whether any drone might cross to the other side... If even one were to cross over, our community... would be at risk."

大多数停驻在那里对港口基础设施实施轰炸但我们无从知晓是否有无人机会越到另一边……倘若有一架越过来我们的社区……将面临风险。”

In response to a growing number of security threats, Romania and Poland have purchased the MEROPS system, which launches short-range counter-drones to shoot down incoming stray drones.

为应对日益增多的安全威胁罗马尼亚和波兰购买了MEROPS系统该系统发射短程反无人机来击落来袭的迷航无人机

Last month, the Ministry of Defence also announced that it had secured the first tranche of 2.5 billion euros in funding from the EU's "European Security Action" programme, which has a total allocation of 16.6 billion euros.

国防部上月还宣布已从欧盟“欧洲安全行动”计划中获得首笔25亿欧元资金,该计划分配总额为166亿欧元

In June, the Ministry of Defence also announced that it had signed a $2 billion contract with an Israeli company for the procurement of short-range and very short-range air defence systems, "aimed at defending against aerial threats, including drones and cruise missiles."

6月,国防部还宣布与一家以色列公司签署了一项价值20亿美元的合同,用于采购短程和超短程防空系统,“旨在防御空中威胁,包括无人机和巡航导弹”。

At the Ankara summit, Romanian President Nicușor Dan stated that defence spending this year will reach 3.7% of GDP.

罗马尼亚总统尼库绍尔·丹在安卡拉峰会上表示,今年国防开支将达到GDP的3.7%。

He added that Romania has joined NATO's "Drone Edge" project, which aims to invest more than 40 billion US dollars over the next five years in "counter-drone capabilities".

他补充说,罗马尼亚加入了北约的“无人机边缘”项目,该项目旨在未来五年内投资超过400亿美元用于“反无人机能力”。

After returning to Isaccea, Mihail recounted that she and her husband were in the house when a text-message alert warned of a possible airspace violation.

回到伊萨克恰后米哈伊尔叙述道当短信警报发出可能存在领空侵犯的警示时,她与丈夫正待在房子里

"We received no support, nor did anyone reach out to help us," she said.

“我们既未获得任何支持,也无人向我们伸出援手,”她说道。
