MIAMI — America has a message for the millions of Haitians left homeless and destitute by last week’s earthquake: Do not try to come to the United States.
美国迈阿密有一则信息对在上周地震中数百万计无家可归的海地难民说：不要试图逃往美国。
Every day, a United States Air Force cargo plane specially equipped with radio transmitters flies for five hours over the devastated country, broadcasting news and a recorded message from Raymond Joseph, Haiti’s ambassador in Washington.
每天，都会有一架专门装有无线电发射器的美国空军货机在灾区上空盘旋5个小时，播放新闻并播放来自海地驻华盛顿大使Raymond Joseph的一则录音。
“Listen, don’t rush on boats to leave the country,” Mr. Joseph says in Creole, according to a transcript released by the Pentagon. “If you do that, we’ll all have even worse problems. Because, I’ll be honest with you: If you think you will reach the U.S. and all the doors will be wide open to you, that’s not at all the case. And they will intercept you right on the water and send you back home where you came from.”
“听我说，大家不要急着乘船离开我们的国家。”约瑟夫根据美国五角大楼发布的一个副本，用克里奥耳语说，“如果你们那样做，我们面临的处境会更糟。因为，我坦诚告诉你们：如果你们认为你们将会到达美国，并且认为美国所有的大门都会为你们敞开着，那倒一点不假。但是他们会立马在海上将你们拦截并遣返回去。”
Homeland Security and Defense Department officials say they are taking a hard line to avert a mass exodus from the island that could lead to deaths at sea or a refugee crisis in South Florida. Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince, is about 700 miles from Miami.
美国国土安全局和国防部官员称：他们正在采取强硬措施避免大批难民从岛上逃亡，那样会导致他们在海上死亡或流亡到南佛罗里达州。海地的首都太子港离迈阿密仅有700多英里。
So far, there has been no sign of Haitians trying to flee the island by boat, United States officials say. Nor has there been a mass exodus of Haitians into the neighboring Dominican Republic, except for about 3,000 injured people who are being treated at hospitals just over the Dominican border, officials there say.
美国官员称：到目前为止，还没有迹象表明岛上居民试图乘船逃离。多米尼加官员称：除了约3000名受伤的人员入住多米尼加共和国边境的医院接受治疗外，还没有大批的难民进入邻国多米尼加共和国。
But United States officials say they worry that in the coming weeks, worsening conditions in Haiti could spur an exodus. They have not only started a campaign to persuade Haitians to stay put, but they are also laying plans to scoop up any boats carrying illegal immigrants and send them to Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
但是美国官员说：他们担心在接下来的几周，随着海地的环境日益恶化可能会引发的难民出逃。他们不仅发起了一个活动去说服岛上居民不要离开，也制定计划拦截任何运载非法移民的船只并遣送他们到古巴的关塔那摩海湾。
Department of Homeland Security officials have also transferred 200 illegal immigrants from the Krome Service Processing Center here — a federal jail for people awaiting deportation — to make room for a possible influx of Haitian migrants.
.国土安全部官员也已从克罗梅救助中心转移了200名非法移民— 该服务中心是为那些等候被驱逐的人们开设的一个联邦监狱— 给可能大量涌入美国的海地移民腾出的地方。
The State Department has also been denying many seriously injured people in Port-au-Prince visas to be transferred to Miami for surgery and treatment, said Dr. William O’Neill, the dean of the Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami, which has erected a field hospital near the airport there.
“美国国务院也已拒绝了许多在太子港的重伤员被转移到迈阿密急救和治疗的签证。”迈阿密大学的米勒医学院的院长Dr. William O’Neill说。这个学院已经在那儿的机场附近搭建了一个野战医院。
“It’s beyond insane,” Dr. O’Neill said Saturday, having just returned to Miami from Haiti. “It’s bureaucracy at its worse.”
从海地返回到迈阿密，O’Neill医生星期六表示：“真是太可怕了，海地政府已无应对当前局面”
Customs officials have allowed a total of 23 Haitians into the United States on humanitarian grounds for medical treatment, said a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security.
国土安全部的一个发言人称，海关关员以人道主义立场为由已经允许23名海地难民到美国救治。
And late Monday, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said the United States would allow some orphaned children to enter the country temporarily on an individual basis.
并且在周一晚些时候，国土安全部部长Janet Napolitano说：美国将允许一些失去双亲的孤儿以个人名义暂时进入美国。
A State Department spokesman, Noel Clay, said the United States had not suspended its visa requirements for Haitians trying to flee the disaster, even though the Department of Homeland Security has halted the deportations of Haitians already in the United States illegally.
美国国务院发言人Noel Clay称：美国没有因为海地人试图逃离灾区而暂停他们的签证需求，即使国土安全部已停止驱逐海地人在美国的非法滞留。
“We urge Haitians in Haiti not to put their lives at additional risk by embarking on a dangerous sea voyage,” Mr. Clay said.,
Clay说“我们呼吁海地人民不要再冒险乘船离开海地。”
In the Dominican Republic, officials have adopted a similar stance. The secretary of foreign relations has ordered only Haitians with medical emergencies allowed into the country, and the Army has established checkpoints on roads leading from the border.
在多米尼加共和国，政府官员也持有相同的观点。外交部长下令只有急救伤员才被允许进入该国，而且部队在通往边境的道路上建立了临时检查站。
Sandra Severino, a spokeswoman for President Leonel Fernández, said there had not been a huge spike in illegal immigration on the border, and indeed many Haitians already in the Dominican Republic are returning to help their families.
多米尼加共和国总统Leonel Fernandez 的发言人Sandra Severino称在边境上没有遇到非常棘手的非法移民问题，而实际上在多米尼加共和国的许多海地人又返回海地去帮助他们的亲人。
Officials in the Bahamas, which has a large Haitian population, are also keeping a close watch on the seas, but have not noticed a surge in boats carrying refugees, said the deputy prime minister for foreign affairs, T. Brent Symonette. He added that the Bahamas would not repatriate immigrants arriving from Haiti immediately, given the severity of the humanitarian crisis."
外交部副部长T. Brent Symonette称，巴哈马群岛上的官员也密切注意着海上的一切活动，那儿也聚集着大量的海地人。但是并没有发现一艘载有难民的船只涌来。他补充到巴哈马不会马上遣返海地移民，并会提供给他们人道主义帮助。
Few experts on immigration expect droves of Haitians to take to the seas in flimsy boats right away, though they add that it is hard to predict what will happen in the coming weeks. Most earthquake victims are still struggling to find food and water; they are in no condition to plan and provision a sea voyage. In addition, the Coast Guard currently has five cutters patrolling Haitian waters.
移民局一些专家预计会有大量的难民马上乘着破船逃离，但他也补充到：很难预料在未来的几周内将会发生什么事情。但大部分地震灾民还在争扎着寻找食物和水，这些人没有条件去计划着准备远航。另外，海上警卫队配备五种武器在海地海域巡逻。
Lt. Commander Chris O’Neil said the Coast Guard had not spotted any boats leaving Haiti with refugees on Monday. “None, zero,” he said, “and no indication of anyone making preparations to do so.” He said anyone caught leaving the island and heading toward Florida would be returned to Haiti.
Chris O’Neil指挥官称：星期一，海上警卫队没有发现一艘载有难民的船只离开海地。“没有，一艘都没有”，他说，“根本没有迹象表明有人这样做。”他说即使有人想要离开该岛前往佛罗里达，也将会被遣返回海地。
