London (CNN) UK police have launched a murder investigation after 39 people were found dead in a truck container at an industrial park in Essex, 30 kilometers east of London. One of the victims was in their teens.
倫敦（CNN）在倫敦以東30公裡的埃塞克斯一個工業園區的卡車貨櫃內發現39人死亡後，英國警方展開了謀殺調查。其中一名受害者只有十幾歲。
Authorities believe the truck, which originated in Bulgaria, entered the UK through the Welsh port of Holyhead over the weekend. A regular ferry service connects Holyhead with the Irish capital, Dublin.
當局認為，這輛從保加利亞出發的卡車上周末通過威爾斯的霍利黑德港進入英國。連接霍利黑德和愛爾蘭首都都柏林的是個定期擺渡的渡輪。

Jackie Doyle-Price, who is the Conservative MP for Thurrock, where the bodies were found, wrote on Twitter: "Sickening news of 39 people found dead in a container in Grays.
瑟洛克是發現屍體的地方，該地保守黨議員傑基·多伊爾·普萊斯在推特上寫道：「多麼令人噁心的消息，有39人被發現死在格雷斯的貨櫃裡。

「販賣人口是一種卑鄙和危險的行為。這對埃塞克斯警方來說將是個很大的調查內容，希望他們能把這些殺人犯繩之以法。」

Shocked & saddened by this utterly tragic incident in Grays. Essex Police has arrested an individual and we must give them the space to conduct their investigations.— Priti Patel MP (@patel4witham) October 23, 2019對格雷斯的這場悲劇感到震驚和悲傷。埃塞克斯警方已逮捕了一個人，我們必須給他們進行調查的空間。-普裡蒂－帕特爾 Priti Patel MP（@Patel4WithAM）2019年10月23日Interior Minister Brandon Lewis also called the news "tragic" in a tweet.

內政部長布蘭登·劉易斯也在推特上稱這一消息「悲慘」。為受害者、他們的家人和朋友祈禱。警方正在努力確保將肇事者繩之以法。
The circuitous route the lorry took to get into the UK has also raised eyebrows. "If the lorry came from Bulgaria, getting into Britain via Holyhead is an unorthodox route," Seamus Leheny, Northern Ireland policy manager for the Freight Transport Association (FTA), told PA news agency.
卡車進入英國的迂迴路線也引起了人們的不滿。「如果這輛卡車來自保加利亞，那麼經由霍利黑德進入英國並不是一條非常規路線，」貨運協會（FTA）北愛爾蘭政策經理謝默斯·萊赫尼告訴美聯社。
"People have been saying that security and checks have been increased in places like Dover and Calais, so it might be seen as an easier way to get in by going from Cherbourg or Roscoff, over to Rosslare, then up the road to Dublin.
「人們一直在說，多佛和加萊等地的安全和檢查已經加強，所以從瑟堡或羅斯科夫到羅斯拉裡再到都柏林，可能就會被視為一種更容易進入的方式。
"It's a long way around and it'll add an extra day to the journey," Leheny added.
「這是一條漫長的路，會多出一天的旅程，」萊尼補充說。
The police have yet to reveal the identities of the victims, but in recent years there have been a number of fatal incidents in the UK and Europe involving large numbers of migrants who were found suffocated to death in trucks or containers.
警方尚未透露遇難者身份，但近年來，在英國和歐洲已發生了多起涉及大量移民的致命事件，這些移民被發現在卡車或貨櫃中窒息死亡。
Four human traffickers were given life sentences this summer over the deaths of 71 migrants whose bodies were found in an abandoned truck in Austria in 2015, Reuters reported.
據路透社報導，2015年奧地利一輛廢棄卡車上發現71名移民屍體，4名人口販子今年夏天被判無期徒刑。
