File photo from 2021 of a beach in northern France used by migrants to attempt the Channel crossing to England Six people traffickers have been found guilty in France of causing the deaths of 31 migrants in the worst ever small-boat accident in the Channel.
2021 年法国北部海滩的档案照片，移民曾利用该海滩试图穿越英吉利海峡前往英格兰 法国六名人口贩子因在英吉利海峡有史以来最严重的小船事故中造成 31 名移民死亡而被判有罪。
At the end of a four-week trial in Paris, the six were convicted of "involuntary homicide" and given prison terms of between six and 10 years.
在巴黎为期四个星期的审判结束后，六人被判犯有“过失杀人罪”，并被判处六至十年监禁。
Seven others were given lesser sentences of up to four years, and one person was found not guilty.
另外七人被判处最高四年的较轻刑期，其中一人被判无罪。
The boat went down early in the morning on 24 November 2021 after sending distress calls to French and British coastguards.
该船在向法国和英国海岸警卫队发出求救信号后于 2021 年 11 月 24 日清晨沉没。
The dead, including a child of seven, were mainly Iraqi Kurds but also included Afghans, Egyptians and Iranian Kurds. Only two men survived. The charge sheet said the migrants had been put to sea from the French coast in a boat "that was of poor quality, uncertified, unsuitable for navigation at sea, overloaded, and without correct life jackets".
死者包括一名七岁儿童，主要是伊拉克库尔德人，但也包括阿富汗人、埃及人和伊朗库尔德人。 只有两名男子幸存。 指控单称，这些移民是乘坐一艘“质量差、未经认证、不适合海上航行、超载且没有合适的救生衣”的船从法国海岸出海的。
The trial established that the guilty men were members of two separate networks – one of which was Iraqi Kurd, the other Afghan – that co-operated to organise the cross-channel journey and bring migrants to the meeting point.
审判确定，这些有罪的人是两个不同网络的成员——其中一个是伊拉克库尔德人，另一个是阿富汗人——这两个网络合作组织跨海峡旅行并将移民带到集合点。
Unusually the court was attended at the start by several family members, who came to France from Iraqi Kurdistan and gave moving testimony about how the victims came to be on board the boat.
不同寻常的是，几名家庭成员一开始就出席了法庭，他们从伊拉克库尔德斯坦来到法国，并就受害者如何登上这艘船提供了感人的证词。
Some of the victims (from left): Mohammed Hussein Mohammedie, Mhabad Ahmad Ali, Bilind Shakir Baker, Shakar Ali Pirot, Bryar Hamad Abdulrahman, and Hasti Rizghar Hussein Speaking after the verdict, their lawyer Matthieu Chirez said the decision "comes as a relief for all the civil plaintiffs because it confirms the penal responsibility of the traffickers".
部分受害者（左起）：穆罕默德·侯赛因·穆罕默德、马巴德·艾哈迈德·阿里、比林德·沙基尔·贝克、沙卡尔·阿里·皮罗特、布赖尔·哈马德·阿卜杜拉赫曼和哈斯蒂·里兹加尔·侯赛因 他们的律师马蒂厄·奇雷斯 (Matthieu Chirez) 在判决后发表讲话时表示，这一判决“对所有民事原告来说都是一种解脱，因为它确认了贩运者的刑事责任”。
He said the trial had "humanised the families of victims".
他说，这次审判“让受害者家属变得人性化”。
One family member, Zana Marmand Muhammed, told the court how his younger brother Twana had "wanted to go to England to find a job and because the geopolitical situation with us is dangerous. No-one in the family wanted him to leave, but we could not dissuade him."
一名家庭成员扎纳·马曼德·穆罕默德 (Zana Marmand Muhammed) 告诉法庭，他的弟弟特瓦纳 (Twana) “想去英国找工作，因为我们的地缘政治局势很危险。 家里没有人希望他离开，但我们无法劝阻他。”
Nabi Mustafa Mina, the father of Zanyar who was 19 when he died, told of how he tried to dissuade his son from leaving. "I said I would help him to get married, I would give him my house, I would divide my salary in two.
赞亚尔 (Zanyar) 去世时年仅 19 岁，他的父亲纳比·穆斯塔法·米纳 (Nabi Mustafa Mina) 讲述了他如何试图劝阻儿子离开。 “我说我会帮他结婚，我会把我的房子给他，我会把我的工资一分为二。
But no, he said he wanted a better life, that he would get by somehow.
但不，他说他想要更好的生活，他能以某种方式度过难关。
I ran out of arguments," he said. The family-members explained how they had paid a deposit at a bank in Iraqi Kurdistan and then followed their loved ones' progress through Turkey, Italy and then France. In one of the last messages from Twana, he posted a picture of himself at the Eiffel Tower.
我已经没有争论了，”他说。 家人解释了他们如何在伊拉克库尔德斯坦的一家银行支付了存款，然后通过土耳其、意大利和法国跟踪亲人的进展。 在特瓦纳的最后一条消息中，他发布了一张自己在埃菲尔铁塔的照片。
The court also heard a statement from one of the two survivors, Issa Omar, read out by his lawyer. Omar said that he "would have liked to appear before the judge but I do not have the strength.
法庭还听取了两名幸存者之一伊萨·奥马尔 (Issa Omar) 的律师宣读的一份声明。 奥马尔说，他“很想出庭接受法官的审讯，但我没有力气。
Since the wreck I have the impression that part of me disappeared beneath the waves." His lawyer Matthieu Chirez said that Omar had "clung to floating bodies, to a life-jacket. He survived by keeping his eyes open so as not to go to sleep, and swimming to keep his heart beating".
自从沉船事件发生以来，我有一种感觉，我的一部分消失在海浪之下。” 他的律师马蒂厄·奇雷斯(Matthieu Chirez)表示，奥马尔“紧紧抓住漂浮的尸体和救生衣。 他通过睁开眼睛以免入睡并游泳以保持心脏跳动而幸存下来”。
Lawyer Matthieu Chirez (C) said the verdict had come as a relief to victims' families Police investigating the disaster used phone tracking to identify members of the two networks. The lesser figures were accused of sheltering migrants, transporting them across France to the so-called "jungle" camp outside Calais, and helping on the night of the departure.
律师马蒂厄·奇雷兹（Matthieu Chirez）（中）表示，这一判决让受害者家属松了一口气 调查这场灾难的警方使用电话追踪来识别这两个网络的成员。 这些较小的人物被指控庇护移民，将他们运送到法国各地的加莱郊外所谓的“丛林”营地，并在出发当晚提供帮助。
The alleged leader of the Iraqi Kurd network – named as Bashdar – was not a defendant in the trial.
伊拉克库尔德网络的所谓领导人——名为巴什达尔——并不是审判中的被告。
He is in custody in Iraq.
他被关押在伊拉克。
His close aide – Harem Ahmed Abawaker – was given eight years in prison.
他的亲密助手哈勒姆·艾哈迈德·阿巴瓦克 (Harem Ahmed Abawaker) 被判处八年监禁。
The biggest sentence, of 10 years, went to Obaidullah Maroofkhel, who ran the Afghan network. He was tried in his absence along with one other defendant. Most of the 14 were Afghans or Iraqi Kurds.
阿富汗网络运营者奥拜杜拉·马鲁夫凯尔 (Obaidullah Maroofkhel) 被判十年有期徒刑。 他在缺席的情况下与另一名被告一起受审。 这 14 人中的大多数是阿富汗人或伊拉克库尔德人。
All but one of the defendants appeared in the trial as free men, so following the verdict the court issued six arrest warrants. A separate police investigation is under way into seven members of the French armed forces for allegedly failing to come to the help of the migrants on the night of the disaster.
除一名被告外，所有被告均以自由人身份出庭，因此判决后，法院发出了六张逮捕令。 警方正在对七名法国武装部队成员进行单独调查，原因是他们涉嫌在灾难当晚未能帮助移民。
The seven were at the regional sea rescue centre or on board a navy ship, and are alleged to have ignored distress calls from the boat. A decision on whether to recommend them for trial will be taken in the coming months.
这七人当时在地区海上救援中心或一艘海军舰艇上，据称他们无视船上的求救信号。 未来几个月将决定是否推荐它们进行试用。
The trial ended as France and the UK announced it was ending the so-called one-in one-out scheme under which the British government sent back irregular cross-Channel migrants to France, and in return accepted individuals with a likely prospect of being granted asylum.
随着法国和英国宣布终止所谓的“一进一出”计划，审判结束。根据该计划，英国政府将非正规跨海峡移民遣返回法国，并作为回报接受可能获得庇护的个人。
France had already signalled that the year-long programme, which has seen a little more than 1,000 migrants switch country, was not producing expected results in breaking the traffickers' business model. UK-France 'one in, one out' migrant scheme scrapped At least 30 deaths in small boat crossing avoidable, inquiry finds Fourteen go on trial over deadliest Channel small boats disaster
法国已经表示，这项为期一年的计划已导致超过 1,000 名移民转换国家，但在打破人口贩运者的商业模式方面并未产生预期效果。 英法“一进一出”移民计划被取消 调查发现至少 30 人在小船过境中死亡是可以避免的 十四人因最致命的海峡小船灾难而受审
