在乌克兰赫尔松，短暂停火带来难得喘息 尤里·科瓦连科 赫尔松，乌克兰，10月28日电 - 多年来近乎每日的俄罗斯无人机和炮击，已将乌克兰南部城市赫尔松变成一片满目疮痍的城市景观，死亡从未远离。
In Ukraine's Kherson, brief ceasefire brings rare respite By Yurii Kovalenko KHERSON, Ukraine, Oct 28 - Years of near-daily Russian drone and artillery attacks have turned the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson into a battered urban landscape where death is never far away.
然而周三，留守的居民在阳光普照的街道上小心翼翼地走出家门，因为美国斡旋、在附近前线城镇奥列什基周边达成的停火，暂时平息了来自空中的威胁。
On Wednesday, however, the residents who remain ventured cautiously into sun-drenched streets after a US-brokered ceasefire around the nearby frontline town of Oleshky put a temporary pause to the aerial threat.
“说实话，我无法用语言形容，”报刊亭老板奥列克桑德拉·科森科周三在接受路透社采访时说。“如果能一直这样下去，那将真的是太美好了。” 乌克兰周三表示，由美国第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普斡旋的为期六天的停火正在生效，为这场持续第五年的消耗战提供了难得的喘息时刻。
"Honestly, I can't put it into words," kiosk owner Oleksandra Kosenko told Reuters during a visit on Wednesday. "If it stays this way, it would be really wonderful." Ukraine said on Wednesday that the six-day ceasefire, brokered by US first lady Melania Trump, was holding, providing a rare moment of relief in the fifth year of grinding war.
此次停火旨在为奥列什基铺平人道主义救援道路，当地居民面临严重的食品和药品短缺。
The pause in fighting is aimed at paving the way for humanitarian relief for Oleshky, where residents face acute shortages of food and medicine.
关键喘息 对于坐落在第聂伯河对岸、与奥列什基相望的州府赫尔松而言，这项于周二早些时候生效的停火带来了一个短暂的喘息窗口。
CRITICAL RESPITE For Kherson, a regional capital across the Dnipro River from Oleshky, the ceasefire - which took effect early on Tuesday - brings a brief window of respite.
官员称，自乌克兰军队于2022年11月从俄罗斯占领下收复该市以来，驻扎在对岸的莫斯科部队定期对其进行炮击，并用致命无人机猎杀居民。俄罗斯和乌克兰均否认蓄意以平民为目标。随着袭击持续，居民逃离、商家关门，日常生活变得愈发危险。
Since Ukrainian troops recaptured the city from Russian occupation in November 2022, Moscow's forces stationed on the opposite bank have shelled it regularly and hunted residents with deadly drones, officials say. Both Russia and Ukraine deny deliberately targeting civilians. As the attacks continued, residents fled and businesses closed, making daily life increasingly dangerous.
该城市仍在运转，公交车载客穿梭，商店和咖啡馆照常营业。但战争的创痕显而易见。一些建筑化为废墟，人行道大多空无一人，防无人机网覆盖在主干道上。
The city still functions, with buses ferrying people around and shops and cafes serving customers. But the scars of the war are plain to see. Some buildings are in ruins, the pavements are largely empty and anti-drone nets are draped over the main roads.
周三，居民遛狗时不再仰望天空。老人们在长椅上啜饮咖啡，不再伴随远处爆炸的轰鸣声。
On Wednesday, residents walked their dogs without glancing toward the sky. Elderly men sipped coffee on a bench without the din of distant explosions.
“一直处于炮火之下的赫尔松，简直是起死回生了，”乌克兰人权专员德米特罗·卢比涅茨在Telegram通讯应用上写道。
"Kherson, which was constantly under fire, literally came to life," said Dmytro Lubinets, Ukraine's human rights ombudsman, on the Telegram messaging app.
“人们平静地外出、散步、享受秋阳。对某些人来说是寻常的日常生活，对赫尔松州居民而言，今天却是最大的愿望。”报摊老板科森科说，她的顾客数量几乎翻了一番，总共约50人。她如释重负，上班路上不再需要冲着找掩体躲避。
"People are calmly going out, walking, enjoying the autumn sun. What for some is ordinary everyday life, for residents of the Kherson region today is the greatest desire." Kosenko, the kiosk owner, said she had seen a near-doubling in the number of clients: around 50 in total. She was relieved to no longer be dashing for cover on the way to work.
紧张氛围 周二，乌克兰高层官员将停火描述为一次重大缓和，可能为未来的协议建立信心。
ATMOSPHERE OF TENSION On Tuesday, top Ukrainian officials described the ceasefire as a major de-escalation that could build confidence for future agreements.
然而，在如释重负之下，科森科等人仍表达了战事随时可能再度爆发的担忧。路透社接触的许多居民拒绝发声，显得很紧张。即使在敌对行动暂停期间，俄军投放的反步兵地雷仍构成危险。
Yet beneath the relief, Kosenko and others expressed wariness that fighting could erupt again at any moment. Many residents approached by Reuters declined to speak, appearing tense. Anti-personnel mines dropped by the Russians still pose a danger even when hostilities are paused.
在长达1200公里（750英里）的前线其他地段，战斗依然激烈，俄罗斯依然意图夺取仍不在其控制下的东部顿涅茨克地区部分领土。
Battles are also raging elsewhere along the 1,200-km (750 mile) front line, where Russia remains intent on capturing the parts of the eastern Donetsk region still outside its control.
莫斯科也在继续对乌克兰城市实施轰炸行动，已造成包括赫尔松在内的关键基础设施受损。
Moscow is also continuing its bombing campaign of Ukrainian cities, which has damaged critical infrastructure including in Kherson.
像奥尔哈·丘皮科娃这样经历过俄罗斯占领其城市的当地人表示，他们已学会为最坏的情况做准备。“俄罗斯人已证明他们不可信任，”这位52岁的市政工人说。
Locals like Olha Chyupikova, who lived through Russia's occupation of her city, said they had learned to prepare for the worst. "The Russians have proven that they can't be trusted," said the 52-year-old municipal worker.
“所以我认为每个人都在潜意识里感觉，随时可能发生某种挑衅。”
"So I think everyone subconsciously feels like there could be some sort of provocation at any moment."
