The photo is haunting, a vivid reminder of the danger many face when they try to cross into the United States. It shows the human toll of a crisis at the border that"s often debated with abstract statistics and detached policy arguments.

這張照片令人難以忘懷，它生動地提醒我們，當許多人試圖越境進入美國時，他們所面臨的危險。它顯示了邊境危機造成的人員傷亡，人們經常用抽象的統計數據和獨立的政策論據來辯論這場危機。

The image of the Salvadoran father and his daughter lying face down in the water of the Rio Grande, part of the US border with Mexico, is a heartbreaking testimony to the suffering behind the numbers.

這位薩爾瓦多父親和他的女兒臉朝下躺在美國與墨西哥邊境的格蘭德河裡，這一令人心碎地畫面證明了數字背後的痛苦。

For months, advocates have been warning that deaths at the border would increase, as migrants are forced to cross in more dangerous areas by US policies that make it harder for those seeking asylum to turn themselves in at ports of entry.

幾個月來，移民維權人士一直警告稱，邊境死亡人數將會增加，因為美國的政策加大了尋求庇護者入境的難度，迫使移民不得不穿越更危險的地區。

Oscar Alberto Martinez and his daughter, identified by officials from El Salvador as Angie Valeria M., drowned in the currents of the Rio Grande on Sunday as they tried to slip into the United States.

經薩爾瓦多官員證實，上周日試圖潛入美國卻在格蘭德河不幸溺水身亡的兩人分別是奧斯卡?阿爾貝托?馬丁內斯和他的女兒安吉?瓦萊里婭?M?巴萊里亞。

Their bodies were found Monday near Matamoros, across the river from Brownsville, Texas. The child was 2 years old, The Associated Press reported.

周一，在得克薩斯州布朗斯維爾河對面的馬塔莫羅斯附近發現了他們的屍體。據美聯社報道稱，這名孩童目前只有兩歲。

The photograph was taken by journalist Julia Le Duc, who lives in Mexico.

這張照片是由住在墨西哥的記者朱莉婭?勒杜克拍攝的。

In the image, the young girl is tucked inside her father"s shirt, her right arm slung around his neck as they lie near the shore. Their bodies have come to rest near a river bank where five discarded beer cans and an empty soda bottle sit in the tall reeds. Another beer can floats next to the girl"s body.

在這張照片中，父女倆卧倒在岸邊，小女孩被塞在父親的襯衫里，她的右臂摟著父親的脖子。他們的屍體緊靠著河岸邊，高高的蘆葦叢里有五個廢棄的啤酒罐和一個空汽水瓶。女孩的身體旁邊漂浮著另一個啤酒罐。

The photo evoked memories of a 3-year-old Syrian boy, Aylan Kurdi, whose body washed up on a beach in Turkey. The iconic 2015 image of the drowned toddler lying in the sand continues to stir discussion over policies toward migrants.

這張照片讓人想起了3歲的敘利亞男孩艾蘭?庫爾迪，他的屍體被衝到了土耳其的海灘上。2015年，一名溺水的幼兒躺在沙灘上的標誌性照片繼續引發了人們對移民政策的討論。

The deaths of the father and child prompted Salvadoran Minister of Foreign Affairs Alexandra Hill to beg her countrymen to stay as it tries to solve the economic issues that cause many to look to migrate north.

這位父親和他孩子的死亡促使薩爾瓦多外交部長亞歷山德拉?希爾懇求她的同胞們留下來，因為政府正試圖解決導致許多人尋求向北移民的經濟問題。

"Our country is in mourning, again. I beg you, to all the families, parents, don"t risk it. Life is worth a lot more," she added.

她補充道：「我們的國家再次陷入悲痛之中。我懇求你們：我們國家所有的家庭、父母們，不要冒這個險。生命的價值比這高得多。」

Hill said the government is working with Mexican authorities to repatriate the remains.

希爾透露，該國政府正在與墨西哥當局合作，以將這些遺體運回國內。
