The war in Syria has become a global battlefield
敘利亞已經(jīng)成為全球戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)
By Rebecca Collard from Beirut
文/(貝魯特）麗貝卡·克拉德
AS 2018 BEGAN, IT LOOKED LIKE THE war in Syria might be drawing toward an ending that few in the international community wanted.
2018年開(kāi)年之后，敘利亞戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)似乎在朝著幾乎整個(gè)國(guó)際社會(huì)都不想看到的結(jié)局發(fā)展。
Yes, ISIS was on the way to defeat as a conventional fighting force—
沒(méi)錯(cuò)，伊斯蘭國(guó)這股傳統(tǒng)勢(shì)力將被擊敗 -
but the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, backed by Russia and Iran, controlled more than half of the country.
但敘利亞總統(tǒng)巴沙爾·阿薩德政權(quán)，其背后有俄羅斯和伊朗撐腰，控制了該國(guó)一半以上的土地。
Barely seven weeks later, an end to the conflict is nowhere in sight.
僅僅七周后，沖突的結(jié)局似乎就已經(jīng)變得遙不可期了。
Instead, the war in Syria is growing like a tumor—worsening in some areas and infecting surrounding states.
敘利亞的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)反而在不斷惡化，就像腫瘤一樣——在某些地區(qū)尤為嚴(yán)重，甚至還感染了周邊國(guó)家。
What began as a civil uprising seven years ago
七年前的一場(chǎng)民間起義
now looks more like an international conflict where patron states are replacing their proxies.
如今已經(jīng)演變成了國(guó)際沖突，贊助國(guó)也正在取代代理人的位置。
Since Feb. 3, the aircraft of four different countries have been downed over Syria.
自2月3日以來(lái)，已經(jīng)有四個(gè)國(guó)家的飛機(jī)在敘利亞被擊落。
A Russian jet was hit by Syrian opposition fighters.
一架俄羅斯飛機(jī)被敘利亞反對(duì)派擊中。
Turkey says Kurdish fighters shot down one of its helicopters.
土耳其說(shuō)庫(kù)爾德戰(zhàn)機(jī)擊落了一架土耳其直升機(jī)。
An Israeli F-16 was downed by the Syrian regime after the jet carried out raids in Syria.一架以色列F-16在敘利亞進(jìn)行了一系列襲擊之后被敘利亞政權(quán)擊落。
And Israel says it shot down an Iranian drone entering Israeli space from Syria.
以色列則表示，他們擊落了一架從敘利亞飛入以色列的伊朗無(wú)人機(jī)。
On top of this, U.S. forces clashed with Russian mercenary forces who had attacked Kurdish forces backed by the U.S.
此外，美軍和襲擊其支持的庫(kù)爾德軍隊(duì)的俄羅斯雇傭兵也發(fā)生了沖突。
This dizzying array of overlapping and competing conflicts and alliances has become unmoored from the war that began in 2011.
這場(chǎng)令人眼花繚亂的交錯(cuò)沖突和聯(lián)盟已經(jīng)和2011年開(kāi)始的那場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)沒(méi)多大關(guān)系了。
“Most of the conflicts that you see now have nothing to do with Syria per se,”
“你現(xiàn)在看到的大部分沖突都與敘利亞本身無(wú)關(guān)，”
says Joost Hiltermann, director of the Middle East and North Africa program at the International Crisis Group.
國(guó)際危機(jī)組織中東和北非項(xiàng)目主任約斯特· 希爾特曼說(shuō)。
“They just happen to be fought there.”
“他們只不過(guò)是碰巧在那里打起來(lái)的。”
