CNN News:2015年对抗伊斯兰恐怖组织任务依然艰巨

JIM SCIUTTO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: What will the war on ISIS look like in 2015? In a word, tough.

2015年对抗伊斯兰恐怖组织的战争将会是什么样呢?用一个词来形容，就是艰难。

For one, ISIS will not be defeated in 2015, despite the U.S.-led air campaign and some more aggressive operations by Iraqi security forces on the ground, ISIS is proven very capable of holding ground. They`ve been changing tactics to make themselves less vulnerable from the air, and they`ve also been resorting to traditional terror attacks against Iraqi forces, Kurdish forces and against civilians as well.

首先，伊斯兰恐怖分子在2015年不可能被打败，尽管有美国领导着空军联盟和伊拉克安全部队多个积极地面行动部队，伊斯兰恐怖组织地面工作已经能够灵活应控制地面行动。他们已经改变策略增强其空中作战能力，并且已经开始对伊拉克部队，库尔德部队和居民采用传统恐怖袭击作战计划。

Also, look for U.S. forces in 2015 to be more in harm`s way, as their numbers approach some 3,000 U.S. troops on the ground, many of them will no longer be confined to the relatively safe areas of Kurdistan in the north and the capital Baghdad in Central Iraq. They already have 300 American advisors at al-Assad base in the highly contested Anbar Province, and over the course of the year you`ll have many more forward deployed and training centers around the country.

同时，2015年美军地面部队仅有3000人，他们将不会再局限在伊拉克首都巴格达北部库尔德地区，他们的作战工作也会面临困难。有300名美国军事顾问在安巴尔省阿萨德基地展开激烈争吵，在过去的一年你会在伊拉克有更多部署和训练中心。

Key question in 2015, is will U.S. commanders ask the American forces be more forward deployed, perhaps as air controllers for airstrikes against ISIS? It`s an option that U.S. commanders have said they will not take off the table.

2015年的关键问题是美军指挥官是否将要求美军更多介入部署，例如像空袭这种行动。这是美国指挥官们的一个选择，就像其说的，他们不会置之不理。

Also, look in 2015 for Iraqi forces to take more aggressive action, particularly in attempt to retake Mosul, key northern city in Iraq, a key stronghold for ISIS. Iraqi commanders somewhat impatient about when they should go forward with such an operation, U.S. commanders less impatient, they are not sure that Iraqi forces are capable yet of such an ambitious operation.

同时，2015年伊拉克军队采取了更加积极的行动，特别是企图夺回摩苏尔这一被伊斯兰恐怖组织控制的伊拉克北部城市重要据点。伊拉克指挥官们对这种行动有些不耐烦，而美国指挥官则担忧伊拉克部队没有足够能力进行这样一个意义非凡的军事行动。

The war against ISIS inside Syria looks even less hopeful. For one, the U.S. and the coalition still have not completed vetting moderate rebels to take on ISIS on the ground there.

叙利亚境内对抗伊斯兰恐怖组织行动看起来更加希望渺茫。一，美国和联军还没有完全对该地区叛军进行信任审核。

Two, ISIS is proven very good at changing their tactics in Syria as well to make themselves less vulnerable to the U.S.-led air campaign.

二，叙利亚境内伊斯兰恐怖组织非常擅长改变策略应对美军的空中袭击。

Also, ISIS opening up new fronts in the war in Syria including close to Lebanon.

同时伊斯兰恐怖组织在叙利亚境内开辟了新的战线，包括黎巴嫩附近地区。

From the beginning, U.S. commanders and the president have said that the war on ISIS will be measured in years, not months. That will become very clear this year. It will become very clear that the war will extend far beyond 2015.

从一开始，美国指挥官们和总统就表示称对抗伊斯兰恐怖组织行动将会持续很多年，而不是几个月。今年这一说法将会更加清晰，不仅今年不可能结束战争，而且要2015年以后才能结束。
