一艘難民船在希臘島嶼附近沉沒
At least 13 people including seven children drowned when a boat of refugees sank near the small Greek island of Farmakonisi, a reminder of the risks run by a continuing tide of refugees fleeing conflict for Europe.
一艘難民船在希臘法爾馬科尼西島(Farmakonisi)附近沉沒，至少13人淹死，其中包括7名兒童，這提醒人們，爲逃避戰亂而源源不斷奔赴歐洲的難民冒着巨大風險。
Coastguard boats and a helicopter have so far found 13 men and two women off Turkey’s coast, said Greek officials. One person remains missing.
希臘官員表示，海岸警衛隊的船隻和直升機迄今已在土耳其海岸外發現了13名男性和兩名女性。還有一人失蹤。
Yesterday’s incident comes a day after the International Organisation for eported more than 1m migrants have reached Europe this year, a symbolic threshold that will cement the status of the refugee crisis as a defining political issue for the continent in 2015.
在昨日事故的前一天，國際移民組織(IOM)發佈報告稱，今年已有逾100萬難民抵達歐洲，這一象徵性門檻將會確認難民危機已成爲歐洲大陸2015年的決定性政治議題。
The vast majority of this year’s arrivals — over 800,000 — have made the journey from Turkey to Greek islands on rafts and speedboats. Many then travel on to mainland Greece, before following the Balkans route to northern Europe and Germany.
今年抵達歐洲的絕大多數難民（超過80萬人）是乘坐橡皮艇和快艇從土耳其抵達希臘島嶼的。許多人接着去了希臘本土，然後沿着巴爾幹半島前往歐洲北部和德國。
About half of the arrivals were Syrians, followed by Iraqis and Afghans.
大約一半的難民是敘利亞人，其後是伊拉克人和阿富汗人。
