环球慢速英语 现代奴隶(5)

Voice 1: Aid groups around the world are working to stop the illegal slave trade. These include 'Anti-slavery International', 'World Vision,' and 'Tearfund.' They encourage people to work together to help stop the slave trade. But what can normal people really do to stop the slave trade?

声音1：全世界的救援组织都致力于阻止这种非法的奴隶交易。这些救援组织包括“反奴役国际”、“世界宣明会”、“泪水基金”等。他们鼓励人们团结起来，为阻止奴隶交易提供帮助。那普通人能做些什么来阻止奴隶交易呢？

Voice 2: Well, it is important to remember one thing. Knowledge is power. And knowing about the human slave trade can prevent you and other people becoming victims. Do you know people who want to travel to Europe or America? Do you know men who claim that they can help? You can warn people about the dangers. There is no way to get legal travel documents except from an embassy¹ or consulate². There are no honest people who make illegal travel documents! If someone offers these things, you cannot trust them.

声音2：重要的是要记住一件事。知识就是力量。了解人口奴隶交易可以防止自己和他人成为受害者。你认识想去欧洲或美国的人吗？你认识声称能提供帮助的人吗？你可以提醒人们这样做很危险。除了大使馆或领事馆以外，没有其他地方能提供合法旅行文件。制造非法旅行文件的人都是不诚实的人！如果有人提供这些东西，你不能相信他们。
