No sooner had the text alert sounded than the explosions followed in quick succession.

短信警报甫一响起,爆炸声便接踵而至。

Robert Marian, forty-eight years old, resides in Isacceaa small border town on the Danube in Tulcea County, eastern Romania, which has a crossing point into Ukraine.

四十八岁的罗伯特·马里安栖身于伊萨克恰——罗马尼亚东部图尔恰县多瑙河沿岸一座边境小镇设有通往乌克兰的过境点

For Marian, Russian drone strikes are alarmingly close at handmerely a river's width and a few hundred metres awayand have become an inescapable source of dread.

对马里安而言俄罗斯无人机的袭击近在咫尺仅一河之隔数百米之遥已然成为挥之不去的恐惧之源

"The alarm signals something imminent," he said.

警报昭示着某种迫近之物,”他说道

"It happened about two weeks ago, or perhaps three.

大约发生于两周前甚或是三周前

At midnight I was fast asleep... one sound was relatively faint, while the other was deafening.

午夜时分正酣睡……一个声响较为微弱而另一个则震耳欲聋

Terrified out of my wits, I bolted out the door."

惊恐万分夺门而出。”

As Russia's war against Ukraine grinds on protractedly, incidents of drones intruding into Romanian airspace have soared dramatically.

随着俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争旷日持久地推进闯入罗马尼亚领空无人机事件急剧攀升

The explosions echoing from across the Danube serve as a constant reminder of just how close the war has crept to NATO territoryand it is precisely at this juncture that many are consumed with worry that Russian President Vladimir Putin may be deliberately testing the alliance's resolve.

多瑙河彼岸传来的爆炸声无时无刻不在昭示着战争距北约领土何其之近——而恰在此时许多人忧心忡忡担心俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京或有意试探这一联盟的决心

On September 1, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asserted that a border crossing between Ukraine and Romania had been "deliberately subjected to destruction ... as well as export infrastructure."

乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基于9月1日宣称乌罗两国间一处边境过境点遭到蓄意破坏……以及出口基础设施”。

On the same day, Romanian customs announced that operations at the Isaccea-Orlivka crossing had been temporarily suspended.

同日罗马尼亚海关宣布伊萨克恰-奥尔利夫卡过境点活动已被暂时中止

Another resident of Isaccea, Alina Mihail, said that she felt sick 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·米哈伊尔说,当她听到无人机警报和边境对面传来的爆炸声时,她感到恶心。

"For countless nights now, I have been utterly bereft of sleep," she said.

无数个夜晚我已与安眠彻底绝缘,”她说道

"My husband and I cower day after day in the shadow of fear."

我与丈夫终日瑟缩于恐惧的阴影之下。”

Data disclosed by Romania's Ministry of National Defence indicate that, in the year to date, drone incursions have surged threefold compared with the whole of 2025climbing from 9 to 27while the number of drones and drone wreckage recovered on the territory of this NATO member state has more than doubled, rising from 16 to 37.

罗马尼亚国防部披露的数据表明,本年度迄今无人机入侵事件较2025年全年激增三倍——由9次攀升至27次——而在这个北约成员国领土上查获的无人机及无人机残骸数量亦翻了一番有余,从16件增至37件。

So far this year, 73 attacks have occurred on Ukrainian territory near the border, with some 56 military aircraft scrambling to "monitor and control the situation."

今年迄今乌克兰领土上已发生73起靠近边境的袭击事件约56架军用飞机紧急升空以“监视管控局势”。

By comparison, 28 attacks occurred near the border last year, with 21 aircraft taking to the air, while in the first year of the war there was only a single attack near the border.

与之相比去年边境附近共发生28起袭击21架飞机升空而在战争的第一年,边境附近仅发生了一起袭击。

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月一架无人机撞上多瑙河沿岸东部城市加拉茨一栋公寓楼致使一对母子负伤。

Last week, a drone that crossed into Romania from neighbouring Moldova, after being tracked as it traversed several counties, turned back towards Moldova and crashed in a sunflower field.

上周,一架自邻国摩尔多瓦越境进入罗马尼亚的无人机在被追踪穿越数个县后,重新折返摩尔多瓦,并坠毁一片向日葵地中

Moscow has categorically denied ever deploying combat drones on Romanian territory.

莫斯科方面断然否认曾向罗马尼亚领土部署作战无人机。

The threat of drones violating Romanian airspace has grown increasingly severeofficials attribute many of these incidents to Russiaprompting this NATO member state to shoot down four drones this year, the first such action since the war in the neighbouring country broke out.

无人机侵入罗马尼亚领空的威胁日趋严峻——官员们将其中诸多事件归咎于俄罗斯——这促使该北约成员国于今年击落了四架无人机,自邻国战争爆发以来尚属首次。

NATO member states across Europe have been pointing the finger at Moscow as the mastermind behind a series of "hybrid warfare" operations directed against them, encompassing drone incursions, acts of sabotage, an attempted attack on a German airport, and the firing of flares at a Danish helicopter in the Baltic Sea.

欧洲各国北约成员国纷纷将莫斯科指为其针对本国发动的一系列“混合战争”行动的幕后操纵者,涵盖无人机入侵、破坏行径、对德国某机场的未遂袭击,以及在波罗的海向一架丹麦直升机发射照明弹等事件。

On 2 September, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte observed that, as Moscow continues to press on with its war, "Russia has become ever more brazen."

北约秘书长马克·吕特于9月2日指出,伴随莫斯科持续推进其战争,“俄罗斯已然愈发肆无忌惮”。

"We have witnessed increasingly frequent incursions of drones and missiles into our airspace, pushing deep along our eastern flank and thereby giving rise to ever more serious risks," he said.

我们目睹了愈发频繁的无人机与导弹侵入我国领空,沿我国东翼纵深推进由此酿成更为严峻的风险,”他说道

"The threat posed by Russia is beyond doubt."

俄罗斯所构成的威胁毋庸置疑。”

Last week, Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk likewise issued a warning, saying he had received intelligence from CIA Director Jim Ratcliffe indicating that Europe ought to prepare for Russia's escalating provocations, including along the EU's eastern flank.

上周,波兰总理唐纳德·图斯克亦曾发出警示,称其收到了来自中央情报局局长吉姆·拉特克利夫的情报,其中表明欧洲理应做好应对俄罗斯日益加剧的挑衅行为的准备,涵盖欧盟东翼在内。

Romanian Defence Minister Radu Miruță pointed out that, within the framework of the national defence strategy and NATO assessments, Russia is identified as constituting a "major and significant threat" to the eastern flank and to Romania.

罗马尼亚国防部长拉杜·米鲁察指出,在国防战略及北约的评估框架内,俄罗斯被认定为对东翼及罗马尼亚构成“主要重大威胁”。

"We are holding discussions on the capabilities that are urgently needed to counter this shared threatwe and Poland and the Baltic states face an identical riskand at the same time we are coordinating them to ensure that these capabilities are deployed in a manner that makes interoperability achievable," he said.

“我们正围绕应对这一共同威胁所亟需的能力展开讨论——我们与波兰及波罗的海国家承受着如出一辙的风险——同时我们正在加以协调,以确保这些能力以可实现互联互通的方式加以部署,”他说道。

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

在俄罗斯于2022年全面入侵乌克兰之后,北约通过向罗马尼亚、匈牙利、保加利亚及斯洛伐克增派多国战斗群,强化了其于欧洲东翼之军事存在。

However, after Washington adjusted its military posture last year, the United States scaled back its troop deployments in Eastern Europeincluding Romania; officials deny that this signals any erosion of its commitment to NATO.

然而,去年华盛顿方面调整其军事姿态之后,美国缩减了在东欧——包括罗马尼亚——的兵力部署;官员们否认此举昭示着对北约承诺的削弱。

Miruță stated that over 1,000 U.S. troops are stationed on Romanian territory, and noted that this figure represents an increase compared with the period following last year's U.S. troop rotation.

米鲁察表示罗马尼亚境内部署着逾1000名美军并称这一数字较之去年美军轮换之后犹有增加

"The bond between us is rock-solid," he remarked.

我们之间的关系坚如磐石,”他说道

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

东翼安全态势极具多变性。”

Miruță stated that discussions surrounding NATO Article 5that is, the principle that an attack on any member state can be met with a collective response — "could go in any number of directions," but he noted at the same time that Romania currently possesses no intelligence indicating that a ground invasion is imminent or even likely.

米鲁察表示围绕北约第五条——亦即针对任一成员国的攻击均可通过集体回应予以应对——的讨论可能朝各种方向发展”,但他同时指出罗马尼亚目前尚无情报显示地面入侵即将发生或存在发生的可能性

"Viewed from this perspective, we may rest assured," he said.

由此视角观之,我们大可安心,”他说道

He went on to add that what makes the persistent threat confronting Romania so singular is Russia's frequent strikes on Ukraine's Danube portsports that lie within striking distance of the far bank of the river that serves as a natural boundary.

他继而补充道罗马尼亚所面临的持续威胁之所以独具特殊性,在于俄罗斯对乌克兰多瑙河港口的频繁袭击——而这些港口作为天然边界的河流彼岸近在咫尺

"Once the border is crossed, the distance involved amounts to no more than a few dozen metres, leaving virtually no reaction time to speak of," he remarked.

一旦逾越边界所涉距离不过数十米之遥几无反应时间可言,”他表示

"By contrast, in the Nordic countries the targets lie tens of kilometres away, thereby affording a sufficiently unhurried window for intervention of every kind."

反观北欧诸国目标远在数十公里之外从而为各类形式的干预留出了足够从容的窗口。”

The sound of live gunfire emanating from the other side of the border, distinctly audible and vividly present in certain areas, has long kept Romanian residents in a state of trepidation.

边境另一侧传来的实弹射击声,在某些地带清晰可闻、历历在目,长期以来令罗马尼亚居民惶惶不安。

"We watched the drones come sweeping in, watched them make straight for those ports," Miruța added.

我们目睹无人机飞掠而至,目睹它们径直扑向那些港口,”米鲁察补充道

"For the most part they linger, pounding the port infrastructure, yet we have no way of knowing whether any drone might cross over to the other side... and should even one make it across, our community... would inevitably find itself in grave peril."

它们大多盘桓不去对港口基础设施实施轰炸然而我们无从知晓是否有无人机会越至彼侧……倘若有一架逾越而来我们的社区……势必将陷入险境。”

In response to increasingly severe security threats, Romania and Poland have procured the MEROPS systema system that shoots down incoming stray drones by launching short-range counter-drone interceptors.

为因应日趋严峻的安全威胁罗马尼亚波兰采购了MEROPS系统——该系统通过发射短程反无人机拦截弹击落来袭的迷航无人机

The Ministry of Defence also announced last month that it had secured a first tranche of 2.5 billion euros from the EU's "European Security Action" programme, whose total allocation amounts to 16.6 billion euros.

国防部上月亦宣布已从欧盟“欧洲安全行动”计划中获取首笔25亿欧元资金,而该计划之分配总额166亿欧元

In June, the Ministry of Defence further announced that it had concluded a contract worth 2 billion US dollars with an Israeli company for the procurement of short-range and very short-range air-defence systems, "aimed at countering aerial threats, including drones and cruise missiles".

6月,国防部另宣布与一家以色列企业缔结了一项价值20亿美元的合约,采购短程及超短程防空系统,“旨在抵御空中威胁,涵盖无人机与巡航导弹”。

At the Ankara summit, Romanian President Nicușor Dan declared that defense spending for the current year would climb to 3.7% of GDP.

罗马尼亚总统尼库绍尔·丹于安卡拉峰会上宣称,本年度国防开支将攀升至GDP的3.7%。

He went on to add that Romania had been included in NATO's "Drone Edge" project, which is intended to spend more than 40 billion US dollars over the next five years to build up "counter-drone capabilities."

他继而补充道,罗马尼亚已获纳入北约“无人机边缘”项目,该项目拟于未来五年内斥资逾400亿美元,用以构筑“反无人机能力”。

Upon returning to Isaccea, Mihail recounted that she and her husband had been inside their home at the moment when a text-message alert warned of a potential airspace incursion.

回到伊萨克恰后,米哈伊尔叙述道,当短信警报就潜在领空侵犯发出警示之际,她与丈夫正置身于住所之内。

"We received no support whatsoever, nor did anyone extend a helping hand to us," she said.

“我们未曾获得任何支持,亦无人向我们施以援手,”她说道。
