Nick covers Italy, the Vatican, Greece and the Balkans. He has reported for the paper since 2000, having previously covered Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific 3:36pm GMT A record 1,488 migrants from Africa arrived in the Canary Islands in a single day, prompting fears of a Ceuta-style crisis.
许多寻求庇护者登陆面积微小的埃尔耶罗岛，给该岛有限的设施带来巨大压力。
Many of the asylum seekers landed on the tiny island of El Hierro, putting immense strain on its limited facilities.
自上个月以来，抵达加那利群岛的移民数量激增，其中许多人来自塞内加尔、冈比亚和几内亚。
There has been a surge in the number of migrants reaching the Canaries since last month, with many of them arriving from Senegal, Gambia and Guinea.
埃尔耶罗岛最近宣布进入紧急状态，并向马德里呼吁紧急援助。11月初以来，已有3300多名移民乘坐约30艘船只抵达这座火山岛。
El Hierro recently declared a state of emergency and appealed for urgent help from Madrid. Since the start of November, more than 3,300 migrants have arrived on the volcanic island, on board around 30 boats.
加那利群岛政府主席费尔南多·克拉维霍表示：“加那利群岛不能继续实际上独自面对一种需要西班牙政府和欧洲介入的局面。”
“The Canary Islands cannot continue to face, practically on their own, a situation that requires the involvement of the Spanish government and Europe,” said Fernando Clavijo, the head of government in the Canaries.
西班牙海上救援服务部门称，周末有近2200名移民抵达该群岛，他们从西非海岸进行了危险的渡海。其中许多人在埃尔耶罗岛下船，该岛人口仅1.1万。
The group of 240 migrants from Senegal, Gambia and Guinea departed from Gambia six days earlier and were rescued in waters off El Hierro Spain’s maritime rescue service said almost 2,200 migrants had reached the archipelago at the weekend, having made the dangerous crossing from the coast of west Africa. Many of them disembarked at El Hierro, which has a population of just 11,000 people.
12艘船抵达埃尔耶罗岛，另有1艘抵达大加那利岛，1艘抵达特内里费岛。
Twelve boats arrived at El Hierro, plus one at Gran Canaria, and another at Tenerife.
作为加那利群岛最西端、面积第二小的岛屿，埃尔耶罗岛以其壮观的火山地貌、徒步路线、潜水胜地和历史城镇闻名。
The westernmost and second-smallest of the Canaries, El Hierro is known for its spectacular volcanic landscape, hiking trails, diving, and historic towns.
西班牙政府部长安赫尔·比克托·托雷斯原定于周日访问该岛，讨论移民抵达激增的问题。
Angel Victor Torres, a Spanish government minister, was due to visit the island on Sunday to discuss the surge in migrant arrivals.
仅周六一天就有近1500名移民登陆，创下自2020年以来单日最高纪录。今年以来，已有1.3万名移民抵达加那利群岛，该群岛是英国游客冬季避寒的热门目的地。秋季抵达人数往往会增加，因为天气转好、海面风平浪静。
On Saturday alone, nearly 1,500 migrants landed, the highest number in a single day since 2020. So far this year, 13,000 migrants have arrived in the Canary Islands, which are a popular winter-sun destination for British tourists. Arrivals tend to pick up in the autumn because the weather is better and the seas are calmer.
移民从西班牙海上救援服务的船只上登岸，地点在埃尔耶罗岛，自11月初以来已有3300多名移民抵达该岛。欧盟边境管控机构Frontex的克里斯·博罗夫斯基对《每日电讯报》表示：“这与地中海截然不同，地中海大多在夏季渡海。
Migrants disembark from a vessel belonging to the Spanish maritime rescue service at El Hierro, where more than 3,300 migrants have arrived since the start of November Chris Borowski, from Frontex, the EU’s border-control agency, told The Telegraph: “It’s the opposite to the Mediterranean, where most boats cross in the summer.
“大西洋夏季因大风天气往往相当恶劣。10月开始风平浪静，那也是人们从非洲启程的时候。
“The weather in the Atlantic tends to be pretty rough in the summer because of strong winds. Things calm down from October, and that’s when people start setting off from Africa.
“与去年同期相比，我们看到抵达加那利群岛的移民数量异常高。10月的数字是去年同期的四倍。很难说清原因。”加那利群岛的移民危机爆发于西班牙大选前两周，民调显示左翼政府将败给右翼，预示中右翼的人民党与强硬右翼的沃克斯党可能组建联合政府。
“We are seeing an unusually high number of migrants reaching the Canary Islands compared to last year. In October, we saw four times as many as the same period last year. It’s hard to say why.”The migrant crisis in the Canaries comes just two weeks before Spain’s general election, with polls suggesting that the Left-wing government will be beaten by the Right, heralding a possible coalition between the centre-Right People’s Party and the hard-Right Vox party.
分析人士称，佩德罗·桑切斯领导的社会党政府决定给已在西班牙生活的约100万非法移民提供大赦，这可能正在成为一个拉动因素。
The decision by the socialist government of Pedro Sánchez to offer amnesty to around a million illegal migrants already living in Spain may be acting as a pull factor, analysts say.
也可能是因为其他移民路线受到打压——例如从土耳其前往希腊爱琴海群岛的航线，以及从北非前往意大利的航线——迫使偷渡客尝试其他选择。
It may also be that the suppression of other migration routes, such as the crossing from Turkey to Greece’s Aegean islands and the passage from north Africa to Italy, is pushing smugglers to try other options.
博罗夫斯基先生说：“偷渡客寻找最便捷的路径。这就像水床——按下一处，另一处就会隆起。利比亚航线受到打压时，偷渡客就会寻找不同的路径。”
“Smugglers look for the most convenient paths. It’s like a waterbed – if you push down on one part, another part rises up. When there is pressure on the Libya route, smugglers look for different paths,” said Mr Borowski.
一群移民在离开救援船后排队等候。从非洲出发的航程可能需要两到三周时间。这股涌向加那利群岛的潮流，是在估计有 7.2 万至 8 万名来自摩洛哥和撒哈拉以南非洲的移民涌入休达之后四个月出现的。休达是西班牙在北非海岸上拥有两个百年历史的飞地之一。
A group of migrants stand in line after leaving the rescue vessel. It can take two or three weeks to make the journey from Africa The surge towards the Canary Islands comes four months after an estimated 72,000 to 80,000 migrants from Morocco and sub-Saharan Africa poured into Ceuta, one of two centuries-old Spanish exclaves on the coast of north Africa.
桑切斯政府因处理危机不当而受到批评，数千名移民仍滞留在休达。然而，桑切斯坚称他的移民政策正在奏效。
The Sánchez government has been criticised for mismanaging the crisis, with thousands of migrants remaining in Ceuta. However, Mr Sanchez has insisted his immigration policy is working.
他在 10 月表示：“现实情况、数据表明，西班牙在打击非正规移民、管理正规移民流动以及与过境国和来源国合作方面，正在推行一项非常负责任的政策。”
Speaking in October, he said: “The reality, the data show that Spain is pursuing a very responsible policy in the fight against irregular migration, in managing regular migration flows and in cooperation with transit and origin countries.”
从西非海岸前往加那利群岛的航线是世界上最危险的移民路线之一。这些岛屿距离非洲最近点约 65 英里（约 105 公里），但为躲避海上巡逻，许多移民船只选择走更长的路线。
The crossing from the west African coast to the Canaries is one of the world’s most dangerous migration routes. The islands are roughly 65 miles from the closest point in Africa, but to avoid maritime patrols, many migrant boats embark on longer routes.
博罗夫斯基说：“这是一条致命的航线。抵达加那利群岛可能需要一周、两周甚至三周，具体取决于天气和船只是否迷路。一些船只沉没，很多时候我们不知道有多少人丧生。”
“It’s a deadly route. It can take one, two or even three weeks to reach the Canary Islands, depending on the weather and whether the boats get lost. Some boats sink, and a lot of the time we don’t know how many people died,” said Mr Borowski.
国际移民组织（IOM）表示，今年以来已记录大西洋航线上有 450 多人死亡，但该数字很可能大幅低估了实际情况。
The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) said more than 450 deaths on the Atlantic route had been recorded so far this year, but that the figure was likely to be a significant underestimate.
国际移民组织说：“许多船只在远离海岸的地方消失，没有幸存者，没有打捞到尸体，也没有任何关于发生了什么的痕迹。”
“Many vessels vanish far from the coast, leaving no survivors, no recovered bodies and no trace of what transpired,” the IOM said.
一些获救者在埃尔耶罗岛接受应急服务的援助。尽管加那利群岛正努力应对涌入的移民，但欧洲总体上今年以来的移民抵达人数有所下降。
Some of those who were rescued receive assistance from emergency services on El Hierro Although the Canary Islands are struggling with the influx, Europe in general has seen a drop in the number of migrant arrivals so far this year.
据欧盟边境和海岸警卫局（Frontex）称，今年前10个月，非正常越境人数较去年同期下降了29%。非正常移民抵达欧盟的总人数为11万。
In the first 10 months of this year, the number of irregular border crossings was down by 29 per cent compared with the same period last year, according to Frontex. The total number of irregular migrants who reached the EU was 110,000.
Frontex报告称：“几乎所有主要移民路线的下降反映了与合作伙伴国家持续合作以及关键出发国采取的预防措施，这些措施持续减少了驶向欧洲的船只数量。”该机构指出，“经西非路线抵达加那利群岛的人数急剧上升”。
“The decline on nearly all of the major migratory routes reflects sustained co-operation with partner countries and preventive measures in key departure states, which continue to reduce the number of boats setting out towards Europe,” Frontex reported. The agency noted that there had been “a sharp rise in arrivals on the western African route to the Canary Islands”.
Frontex执行主任汉斯·莱滕斯表示：“在通往欧洲的大多数路线上，试图踏上旅程的人变少了，这种情况一直持续到秋季。但经西非路线前往加那利群岛的情况显示，局势扭转可以有多快：10月，该路线的监测到达人数是一年前的四倍。
Hans Leijtens, Frontex’s executive director, said: “On most routes into Europe, fewer people are attempting the journey, and that has held into the autumn. But the western African route to the Canary Islands shows how quickly things can turn: in October, detections there were four times higher than a year earlier.
“走私网络不会因为数字下降而消失。它们会转移，并等待机会。我们的工作是在他们找到机会时做好准备。”
“Smuggling networks do not disappear when the numbers fall. They move, and they wait for an opening. Our job is to be ready when they find one.”
