美国有线新闻 CNN 匈牙利大选移民成主要议题

The issue of immigration also factors into our next story from the Central European nation ofHungary. It held a general election Sunday that's expected to give the nation's incumbent¹ leader, Prime Minister Viktor Orban another term. He and his political party had campaigned on anti-immigration platform. They've had enough support in the government to make major changes to Hungary's laws, increasing governmental control over the media, the bank, the high court and outside organizations.

下面来关注匈牙利，移民问题在这个中欧国家也是重要问题。周日，匈牙利举行大选，预计匈牙利现任领导人欧尔班·维克托总理将获得连任。他及其所在政党在竞选时宣扬反移民政策。他们已经得到了政府内部的足够支持，可以对匈牙利的法律进行重大改动，增加政府对媒体、银行、高级法院和外部组织的控制。

Hungary is part of the European Union, a political and economic partnership² of 28 European countries, but E.U. leaders are concerned that Hungary's democracy is being weakened by its increasingly powerful government.

匈牙利是欧盟成员国，欧盟是由28个欧洲国家组成的政治经济联盟，不过欧盟领导人担心匈牙利日益强大的政府会削弱其民主制。

PHIL BLACK, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Hungarian politics may not be on your radar³, but this E.U. country is starting to drift away from the West, and back into Russia's sphere of influence.

CNN国际记者菲尔?布莱克：大家可能并没有关注匈牙利的政治局势，但是这个欧盟成员国已经开始背离西方体制，重返俄罗斯的势力范围。

This is Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Back in 1989, he was calling for Soviet⁴ troops to leave the country.

匈牙利总理是欧尔班?维克托。1989年时，他曾呼吁苏联军队离开匈牙利。

Fast forward, almost 30 years, and here he is, one of Russian President Vladimir Putin's closest allies.

时间快进到近30年后的今天，他成为了俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔?普京最亲密的盟友之一。

So, how did Orban go from pro-Western activist⁵ to Russian ally?

那欧尔班是如何从亲西方派活动人士转变为俄罗斯盟友的?

Orban, like Putin, has consolidated⁶ control of the country's media. And Orban, like Putin, has cracked down on nongovernmental organizations. Russia's influence can be seen in other ways, too.

和普京一样，欧尔班也控制着国家媒体。另外，和普京一样，欧尔班也镇压了非政府组织。俄罗斯的影响力还体现在其他方面。

Back in 2014, Moscow made a $10.8 billion to Hungary. Ostensibly, it was to fund the expansion of Hungary's only nuclear Soviet era power plant.

2014年时，莫斯科向匈牙利投资108亿美元。表面上，这笔资金用于扩建匈牙利唯一一座苏联时期的核电站。

But critics said it would only increase Hungary's dependence⁷ on Russia. The deal was finally given the go-ahead by the E.U. this year. Orban's government stands by its record and denies any Russian influence.

但是批评人士认为，这只会增加匈牙利对俄罗斯的依赖程度。这项交易最终在今年获得了欧盟的批准。欧尔班领导的政府坚持其决定并否认俄罗斯的影响力。

ZOLTAN KOVACS, GOVERNMENT SPOKESPERSON: There's not one element of our policies and not one element of our decisions that can suggest to you that we are closer to Russia and Mr. Putin in any way that any Western European country.

匈牙利政府发言人佐尔丹?卡瓦奇斯：我们的政策和决定没有任何一个要素会说明，相比于西方欧洲国家，我们与俄罗斯和普京先生更亲近。
