The U.N. and other human rights groups have called on Jordan to admit more Syrian refugees, saying 12,000 stranded people are congregating along the Jordanian border.
聯合國和其它人權組織呼吁約旦允許更多敘利亞難民進入，稱有12,000名難民聚集在約旦邊境。
Already the country has admitted more than 630,000 Syrians, about a tenth of its own population, since the start of the civil war in Syria.
自敘利亞內戰以來，約旦已經允許了超過630,000名敘利亞人進入，約占自身人口的十分之一。
But the U.N. Refugee Agency says the country should take in more, especially since the number of refugees has tripled since the beginning of November.
但聯合國難民署表示，約旦應接納更多的難民，特別是自十一月以來難民人數翻了三倍。
At least 11,000 refugees have gathered in the demilitarized zone along the border, which is fully exposed to the sun and lacks access to water. The other 1,000 are camping out in another location nearby.
至少有11,000名難民聚集在邊境的非軍事區，完全暴露在陽光下并缺乏飲水。另有1000人在附近另一地點扎營。
UNHCR spokesperson Melissa Fleming said in a press briefing, "If refugees are not admitted to Jordan and substantial assistance not provided, the lives of refugees will be at risk in the coming winter months."
聯合國難民署發言人梅麗莎·弗萊明在一次新聞發布會上說，如果難民不允許進入約旦，不能提供實質性的幫助，在即將到來的冬季幾個月難民的生活將面臨艱險。
Meanwhile, Jordanian government spokesman Mohammad Momani said the number of refugees assembling is "greatly exaggerated," and the country's borders are open.
與此同時，約旦政府發言人穆罕默德表示，難民的數量被“夸大其詞”，國家的邊界是開放的。
Yet, he did say the country had a right to screen those attempting to cross the border because of increased security concerns.
然而，他表示約旦有權檢查試圖穿過邊境的人，因為增加了安全問題。
The UNHCR said it would be willing to help upgrade Jordan's security and contribute more support. The group has also acknowledged the country's security concerns and commended them on their help housing refugees thus far.
聯合國難民署稱愿意幫助約旦提升安全，并給予更多支持。難民署還承認約旦對安全的擔憂，并且表揚他們迄今為止在安置難民方面提供的幫助。
