Greece is set to further seal its land frontiers with rival neighbor Turkey, tripling the size of a soaring fence built to block illegal migrants from sneaking1 in.

希腊将进一步封锁与邻国土耳其的陆地边界,将高耸的围栏面积扩大两倍,以阻止非法移民偷偷进入希腊。

The plan comes as Greece faces a sudden surge in refugees, both along its land and sea frontiers, as relations with its age-old foe2 deteriorate3.

该计划出台之际,希腊正面临着与宿敌关系恶化、陆上和海上边境难民突然激增的局面。

VOA's Anthee Carassava reports from Athens.

美国之音的安西·卡拉索娃从雅典发回报道。

Greece began extending the security fence at its rugged4 border with Turkey last year, a decade after Athens initially5 built a 13-kilometer fence in the region to stem the tide of illegal migration6.

希腊去年开始在与土耳其崎岖的边界上延长安全围栏,十年前,雅典曾在该地区修建了一处13公里长的围栏,以遏制非法移民的浪潮。

But a sudden surge in refugee flows has authorities concerned now.

但现在难民的突然激增引起了当局的担忧。

Migration Minister Notis Mitarachi explains.

移民部长诺蒂斯·米塔拉奇解释说。

"There is a clear attempt by Turkey," he says, "to instrumentalize migrants in creating a crisis with Greece."

他说:“土耳其显然企图在利用移民制造与希腊的危机。”

And the numbers, he says, speak for themselves.

他说,这些数字本身就说明了问题。

While inflows have dropped dramatically from the 1 million mainly Syrians who spilled into the country during the 2015 refugee crisis, an estimated 1,000 migrants make illegal crossings a day.

2015年难民危机期间,难民人数达到100万,其中主要是叙利亚人。尽管难民人数与2015年相比大幅下降,但估计每天有1000名移民非法越境。

That's about 20 percent higher than last year.

这比去年高出约20%。

Greece must deal with heightened migratory7 flows along its sea borders too, mainly in the massive Aegean waterway that divides Greece and Turkey.

希腊还必须应对海上边界的移民潮加剧的问题,主要是在分隔希腊和土耳其的爱琴海水道。

Although they are NATO members, Greece and Turkey have been competing over air and sea rights in the Aegean for decades.

尽管希腊和土耳其都是北约成员国,但几十年来,两国一直在争夺爱琴海的领空和领海权。

In recent weeks though, Turkey threatened to challenge Greece's sovereignty, claiming that more than 100 Aegean islands are its own, not Greece's.

然而,最近几周,土耳其威胁要挑战希腊的主权,声称爱琴海100多个岛屿是它自己的,而不是希腊的。

Government sources tell VOA Greece will raise what it calls Turkey's provocative8 stance at a meeting of NATO leaders this week in Spain.

政府消息人士告诉美国之音,希腊将于本周在西班牙举行的北约领导人会议上提出土耳其的挑衅立场。
