VOA常速英语2019--海关和边境保护局为边境巡逻人员提供培训

Thousands of custom and border protection agents trained here every year in the state-of-the-art high-tech¹ facilities where they learn martial² arts and self-defense. This facility in Harpers Ferry, Virginia is one of the agency’s largest. Vice³ President Mike Pence visited the advanced training center for the first time with Homeland Security Secretary Kirsten Wilson.

数千名海关和边境保护人员每年都会在这里接受培训，用的是最先进的高科技设备，目的是学习武术和自卫。这个位于弗吉尼亚州哈珀斯渡口的设施是该机构最大的设施之一。副总统迈克·彭斯首次参观了这个高级培训中心，跟他一起的是国土安全部部长柯尔斯滕·威尔逊。

Being here today in this event, we’re being able to learn how we train our trainers, make it possible for CBP personnel to do the often very dangerous work at our southern border. So I’m grateful what it happens here every day. Put your hands up, down on the ground!

今天参加这次活动，我们就能了解到培训大家的方法，这样，CBP的工作人员才能在南部边境执行危险系数高的工作。所以我很感激这里每天发生的一切。请大家举起手，趴在地上！

Border patrol agents in training and other law enforcement agents can practice their skills in different full-size scenarios⁴. On this virtual simulator, students learn how to react to different scenarios that actually occurred at the southern border. Supervisors⁵ rate the students’ performance and run the practice again. CBP students also learn how to restrain a suspect. Inside a gym, trainers teach them to defend themselves.

培训中的边境巡逻人员以及其他执法人员可以在不同的全尺寸场景中演练技能。通过虚拟模拟器，学生们可以学习如何对不同的情境作出响应，这些情境都是南部边境实际发生的情境。监管人员会对学生的表现进行评分，并再次进行演练。CBP的学生们还能学习如何制服嫌疑犯。在体育馆内，训练员会教大家如何自我防卫。

The center has a mock custom vehicle port of entry where teachers drive up in cars as they are preparing to cross the border. Students in training interact with drivers and check the vehicles. This is a few parts of it. We train other federal agencies here. We train state locals. At first, it’s a testament⁶ to men with CBP because I’ll confirm with an additional voluntary training. So they continued to improve themselves, outside our two world prototypes, Vice President Pence watch over an emergency drill. Opened in 2005, the West Virginia Custom and Border Protection Facility is one of six nationwide. And an average of seven to eight thousand agents and students received training every year.

该培训中心有一个模拟的自定义车辆入境口岸。这在这里，老师们可以驱车准备穿越边境。一起培训的学生会与司机互动，并检查车辆情况。这是培训的部分内容。我们会在这里培训其他的联邦机构工作人员，也会培训当地的人。起初，对于CBP的人来说是一种考验，因为我要确认大家是否愿意做额外的志愿培训。所以他们一直在提升自己。在我们的两个原型模拟机外面，副总统彭斯正在观看一次紧急演习。开办于2005年的西维吉尼亚海关和边境保护局是全国的6家之一。每年平均有7000-8000名工作人员和学生接收这样的培训。
