Why is Aleppo so important in Syria?

为什么阿勒颇对于叙利亚如此重要?

Aleppo is the commercial hub of Syria, symbolically unparalleled. This is which rebel forces piled in summer 2012, taking large part of it, holding back to a better equipped Syrian military, showing that they could get popular support in urban areas. It`s also where so much of the gross slaughter of this war occurred, where Syrian jets or helicopters just dropping the most crude devices known as barrel bombs would repeatedly kill children, doctors, target hospitals. And if it finds itself again in Syrian government hands, that is an enormous propaganda coup for the Syrian regime itself, after its Russia and Iranian support, it now has control on pretty much of all the major population centers of Syria itself.

阿勒颇是叙利亚的商业中心，其所具有的象征地位是无可比拟的。2012年夏天，叙利亚叛军聚集于阿勒颇，并占据了阿勒颇大部分地区。叛军拥有较好的叙利 亚军事装备，这表明他们在城市地区非常的受欢迎。这同时也是叙利亚内战中屠杀发生的地方，叙利亚飞机或者直升机会投掷最粗糙的设备即桶装炸弹，这会导致儿童、医生一再遇难，同时目标医院遇袭。如果阿勒颇再次回到叙利亚政府的控制之中，这就是对叙利亚政权本身的一个大力的宣传。叙利亚政府在得到俄罗斯和伊朗的支持后，现在已经控制了叙利亚居民聚集地的多数地区。

Secondly, the Syrian moderate forces themselves, they`re moving to that city in summer of 2012 showed they could be militarily effective. But if they get kicked out, they don`t really have anywhere else at this point to go. If these moderate forces move in to Idlib, they could well be being seen by the Americans particularly as too close to al Qaeda, a described terrorist group.

其次，叙利亚中间部队在2012年进入阿勒颇表示，他们会在军事上起到一定的作用。但是如果，现在他们被赶出了阿勒颇，那么现在他们真的无处可去。如果这些部队移到伊德利卜，就会被美国部队视为过于恐怖组织——基地组织、

If east Aleppo falls, we simply don`t know how many civilians could get caught in this crossfire killed, injured (INAUDIBLE). Most importantly, if it does fall as well, it marks a turning point in this civil war, one from which it can be pretty hard for those forces, for everyone used to call a Syrian revolution to recover from.

如果阿勒颇东部被政府收复，我们不知道，会有多少在这场战争中被抓的平民被杀、受伤。最重要的是，如果阿勒颇被收复，这就标志着叙利亚内战的转折，那么对于那些称叙利亚革命的军队来说，可能是另一番“局面“了吧。
