① Today the Trump administration faces a deadline to reunite 2,551 children aged 5-17 with their parents, who have been detained separately after crossing the border from Mexico.

今天，川普政府将面临一个截止日期，让2551名5-17岁的儿童与他们的父母团聚，这些父母从墨西哥跨境入美后被单独羁押。

② A younger batch was mostly reunited two weeks ago.

两周前，一批年纪小的儿童大多数已经跟父母团聚。

③ The dates were set by a federal judge after the government's draconian family-separation policy, intended to deter border crossings, caused a global backlash—and a bureaucratic and legal mess.

这些日期是由一名联邦法官裁定，在此之前政府意图制止非法越境的严苛加紧分离政策引发了全球反对的浪潮，也带来了政府和法律层面的混乱。

④ Not all the youngsters will greet their parents today.

今天并非所有的孩子都会和父母团聚。

⑤ Just 40% have been reunited so far; more will be soon.

截至目前只有40%的孩子与家人团聚，很快会有更多的家人团聚。

⑥ But over a third have been labelled "ineligible" for reunification by the deadline, including those whose parents have criminal records.

但是截止日期之前，有三分之一的儿童被贴上不符合与家人团聚的标签，包括那些有犯罪记录的父母。

⑦ It also includes children of those already deported, if it can be shown they left their offspring in America intentionally.

如果能证明这些孩子是被证明父母故意离开他们的，这些包括那些已经被驱逐离境的孩子。

⑧ Finding them is hard, and proving their intent harder; many may have been victims of poor language skills at the border.

很难找到这些家长，要证明他们的意图更难，很多是在边境语言匮乏的受害者。

⑨ Much work remains to repair this preventable fiasco.

还有很多工作要去做，来修复本来可以预防的惨败。
