The British government announced on Wednesday that a joint UK-France pilot scheme designed to curb the number of migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats has been scrapped.

英國政府於週三宣佈,一項旨在遏止乘小船橫渡英吉利海峽之移民人數的英法試點計劃業已廢除。

The Home Office clarified in a statement that the so-called "one in, one out" agreement "is no longer processing new cases."

內政部於一份聲明中闡明,所謂的「一進一出」協議「不再處理新案件」。

Under the plan, those who have endured a perilous crossing of the Channel and finally reached Britain may be detained and returned to France, in exchange for an equivalent number of asylum seekers who apply through safe and legal routes.

依據該計劃,凡歷經危險橫渡海峽之舉、終抵英國者,或將遭拘留並遣返法國,以換取同等數額循安全合法途徑提出申請之尋求庇護者。

Under the terms of the agreement, approximately 1,500 people have already been deported to France, while a slightly smaller number have been transferred to the United Kingdom.

依據該協議之條款,約莫1,500人業已遭遣返至法國,而人數略遜於此者則已被移轉至英國。

The agreement was originally intended to remain in force for three years, but it contains a clause granting both parties the right to terminate it early.

該協議原擬施行三年,惟其中載有一項條款,賦予雙方提前終止之權。

The Home Office stated in a statement: "We continue to work closely with France to relentlessly curb the flow of small boat crossings, and we have made substantial progress."

內政部於聲明中闡明:「吾等持續與法國通力合作,鍥而不捨地遏止小船越境之勢,並已取得實質進展。」

Although the scheme has been terminated, the Home Office has indicated that deportation flights will continue to be arranged in the coming weeks to remove detainees from the country.

儘管該計劃已然終止,內政部表示,未來數週仍將繼續安排驅逐航班,遣送遭拘留者出境。

The current context is markedly different from that of last year.

當前的背景與去年可謂大相逕庭。

Owing to a multitude of factors—among them the intensification of police patrols and heightened surveillance in northern France—the number of crossings this year has plummeted to its lowest level in five years.

緣於諸多因素——其中包括法國北部警察巡邏之強化與監視之加劇——今年穿越人數驟降至五年來之最低點。

To date, approximately 19,000 people have completed the crossing, a decline of roughly 40 percent compared with the same period last year.

迄今為止,約有19,000人完成了穿越,較去年同期下降約40%。

On Monday, a ten-year-old child and two women lost their lives, evidently trampled to death aboard a vessel carrying more than a hundred people—an incident that laid bare the lethal perils of traversing such routes.

週一,一名十歲孩童與兩名婦女罹難,顯然係在一艘載逾百人的船上遭踩踏致死,此事件揭示了穿越此類通道的致命風險。

After the acrimonious rupture between the United Kingdom and the European Union in 2020, international cooperation to curb small boats consequently ground to a halt; in recent years, however, Britain and France have concluded a number of agreements to address this problem.

2020年英國與歐盟歷經激烈分裂後,遏止小船的國際合作遂陷停滯;然近數年來,英法兩國已締結多項協議以應對這一問題。

In recent years, small boats crossing the English Channel have evolved into a fiercely contentious political issue in Britain.

近年來,小船穿越英吉利海峽已然演變為英國一項熾烈的政治議題。

Successive governments have appeared powerless to address it, and this accumulated resentment has served as a deep-seated catalyst for a series of demonstrations and riots, while also propelling the meteoric rise of the far-right Reform UK party.

歷屆政府對此似乎束手無策,這股積怨構成了一系列示威與騷亂的深層誘因,並助推了極右翼英國改革黨的異軍突起。
