情態副詞

The island of Cuba is currently facing the worst existential crisis that it has ever faced in its history.

古巴這個島嶼，現在正經歷著牠歷史上最嚴重的存亡危機。

You've maybe missed what's going on here with all of the other chaotic things going on in the news right now, but over the past five years, Cuba has witnessed the most rapid population collapse that any society has experienced so far in the 21st century.

你可能因為現在新聞上其他混亂的事情而錯過了這裡發生的事，但在過去五年裡，古巴經歷了21世紀以來任何社會最快速的人口崩潰。

基礎被動語態

At the start of the decade in 2020, Cuba was reported to have had a population of around 11.2 million people.

在2020年這個十年開始時，據報導古巴的人口約有1120萬人。

Since then, it's been estimated by independent observers that as many as 2.75 million Cubans have left the island, meaning that nearly one in every four Cubans have probably left the country in only five years, an utterly catastrophic emptying out of the island's people.

從那時起，獨立觀察員估計多達275萬古巴人離開了這個島嶼，這意味著在短短五年內，幾乎每四個古巴人就有一個可能離開了國家，這是一個災難性的島嶼人口流失。

The Cuban government itself officially claims a much lower number of people who have left since 2020.

古巴政府自己官方聲稱，自2020年以來離開的人數要少得多。

But even their own likely downplay data claims that 4, 14% of the island's population have left the country over these past five years.

但即使是他們自己可能低報的數據也聲稱，在過去五年裡，島上人口的4.14%已經離開了國家。

Even if that official data was true, it would already be the second fastest rate of population decline experienced by any country in the world this decade, only behind the rate experienced in Ukraine, a country that has been actively at war for years and being massively invaded by its neighbor.

即使官方數據是真的，這也將是這個十年來，世界上任何國家經歷的第二快人口下降率，僅次於烏克蘭，烏克蘭是一個已經打了多年戰爭並被鄰國大規模入侵的國家。

If the official data is already that bad, the truth is probably much worse.

如果官方數據已經這麼糟了，那真實情況可能更糟。

And closer to the independent analyses that are being done.

The Cuban government now officially claims that the population on the island has shrunk from 11.2 million people in 2020 to around 9.7 million people as of the start of 2026, while the independent analysis conducted by Juan Carlos Alzebu Campos, a leading Cuban demographer, estimates that it's actually probably declined closer to around 8.255 million people.

古巴政府現在官方聲稱，島上人口從2020年的1120萬人，到2026年初約剩下970萬人，而古巴頂尖人口統計學家Juan Carlos Alzebu Campos的獨立分析估計，實際上可能已經下降到接近約825.5萬人。

Instead, one of the biggest things that all of these people have been fleeing from has been a similarly rapidly collapsing economy.

而這些人逃離的最大原因之一，就是同樣快速崩潰的經濟。

Since 2018, the Cuban economy has declined by at least 15%.

自2018年以來，古巴經濟至少下滑了15%。

And that's according to official Cuban government data.

這是根據古巴政府的官方數據。

Since the COVID 19 pandemic began, inflation in the country has absolutely skyrocketed.

自從COVID 19疫情開始以來，該國的通貨膨脹簡直是飛漲。

In 2019, the Cuban peso traded at a value of 21 to the US dollar.

2019年，古巴披索兌美元的匯率是21比1。

But by November of 2025, it was trading at 450 to 1 to the US dollar at the informal rate, instead, implying an annualized inflation rate of around 68% every year for six straight years, which has been verging on hyperinflation and wrecking Cuban savings.

但到了2025年11月，非官方匯率已經來到450比1，這意味著連續六年，年化通貨膨脹率約為68%，這已經接近惡性通貨膨脹，並摧毀了古巴人的儲蓄。

The Cuban Observatory for Human Rights, an NGO based abroad in Spain, has recently estimated that an astonishing 89% of the Cuban population now lives in extreme poverty.

總部位於西班牙的非政府組織「古巴人權觀察站」最近估計，驚人地有89%的古巴人口現在生活在極端貧困之中。

While seven out of 10 Cubans are having to skip at least one meal per day, only 3% are capable of finding the medicine that they require at pharmacies.

十分之七的古巴人每天至少要 skip 一餐，而只有3%的人能在藥局找到他們需要的藥。

12% of the working age population is presently unemployed, While a whopping 78% of Cubans they surveyed reported that they either wanted to leave the country themselves or knew someone else who did.

工作年齡人口中有12%目前失業，而在他們調查的古巴人中，高達78%的人表示他們自己想離開這個國家，或者認識其他人也這麼想。

Wages and the cost of living in Cuba have gotten to a point where life on the island is almost impossible for the vast majority of people.

古巴的薪資和生活成本已經到了絕大多數人幾乎不可能在島上生存的地步。

The official average monthly wage in Cuba, based on the government's own data, is just 6506 pesos a month, which is about the same as just a little over US$14 a month at the informal rate.

根據政府自己的數據，古巴的官方平均月薪僅為每月6506披索，以非官方匯率計算，大約只相當於14美元多一點。

And yet, a carton of 30 eggs on the island currently costs 2,800 pesos, equivalent to 43% of the average monthly wage.

然而，島上的一盒30顆雞蛋目前要價2800披索，相當於平均月薪的43%。

Even a kilo of rice and a kilo of beans, the typical staple diet in Cuba, currently costs the average worker in the country about three full days worth of their labor.

即使是古巴典型的日常主食，一公斤米和一公斤豆子，現在也要花費該國普通工人約三天勞動的價值。

Gasoline shortages across the island have become chronic and too expensive for most to afford as well.

島上的汽油短缺已經成為常態，而且大多數人負擔不起。

Drivers frequently have to wait weeks now just in order to acquire a rationed allocation of 40 liters or 10.5 gallons of gas that now costs about $46 USD, which is usually several times their own typical monthly wage.

現在，司機們經常需要等待數週才能獲得配給的40公升（約10.5加侖）汽油，這大約要花費46美元，通常是他們自己典型月薪的數倍。

The highways across the country have emptied out.

全國的高速公路已經變得空蕩蕩。

People in the rural countryside beyond the big cities have gone back to using horse drawn carriages and carts because of the lack of fuel.

大城市以外的鄉村地區的人們，由於缺乏燃料，已經回歸使用馬車和牛車。

While public transportation even within the big cities has effectively grinded to a halt.

即使在大城市內部，公共交通也幾乎停擺了。

There is also an increasingly chronic electricity and energy shortage that has been suffocating the island as well.

此外，電力和能源短缺的問題也越來越嚴重，持續扼殺著這個島國。

Mass blackouts have become routine occurrences since 2020, with no fewer than five five nationwide blackouts taking place just across 2025.

自2020年以來，大規模停電已成為例行事件，僅在2025年，全國就發生了至少五次全國性停電。

During the blistering heat of the summer, electricity across most of the island will flicker off for at least four hours a day now, while some of the lesser populated provinces outside of the major cities can sometimes go up to 20 hours a day without power affecting everything from air conditioning to fans to refrigerators, Cuba is currently producing about 25% less power than it did just six years years ago, back in 2019, based on research published by Ricardo Torres, a Cuban economist affiliated with the American University.

在炎熱的夏天裡，島上大部分地區的電力現在每天都會停擺至少四小時，而主要城市以外一些人口較少的省份，有時一天甚至長達20小時沒有電力，影響從冷氣、風扇到冰箱的運作。根據美國大學附屬的古巴經濟學家Ricardo Torres的研究，古巴目前的電力產量比六年前，也就是2019年，還要少約25%。

Which is why the blackouts sweeping across the island have been increasing in frequency.

這也是為什麼席捲全島的停電越來越頻繁。

The big reason why is because the vast majority of Cuba's electricity is generated by oil with outdated and worn out Soviet era diesel generators.

主要原因在於，古巴絕大多數的電力是靠老舊且磨損嚴重的蘇聯時代機油發電機組燃燒石油產生的。

While the island's imports of oil have been dwindling and dwindling.

然而，島上進口的石油卻是越來越少。

Roughly 83% of Cuba's electricity is generated through burning oil at these diesel plants, while 60% of Cuba's oil demand has to be imported from abroad.

古巴約有83%的電力是透過這些機油發電廠燃燒石油產生，而古巴石油需求的60%必須從國外進口。

Historically, until very recently, Venezuela was providing Cuba with the lion's share of its imported oil supply that it needed to keep the lights on.

歷史上，直到最近，委內瑞拉一直提供古巴所需進口石油的最大宗，以維持電力供應。

In 2021, Venezuela was providing Cuba with more than 100,000 barrels of oil per day, enough to satisfy about 80% of their domestic needs and more than they actually needed.

2021年，委內瑞拉每天提供古巴超過10萬桶石油，足以滿足國內約80%的需求，甚至比他們實際需要的還多。

But as Venezuela's own economic crisis began getting worse, their exports of oil to Cuba declined by nearly three fourths, to only 16,000 barrels of oil per day by 2025.

但隨著委內瑞拉自身的經濟危機惡化，他們出口到古巴的石油量銳減了近四分之三，到2025年每天僅剩1.6萬桶。

And now, after the US military captured Venezuela's president through a raid in early January, the Trump administration is threatening to sever even this last drip of oil that's coming into the country, too, threatening even more oil shortages and blackouts on the island in the near future.

而現在，在美軍於一月初突襲逮捕委內瑞拉總統後，川普政府正威脅要切斷這個國家僅存的這一絲石油供應，預示著島上未來將面臨更嚴重的石油短缺和停電。

Since capturing Venezuela's president, the Trump administration has been clear in their threats that the communist regime in Cuba could well be next.

自從逮捕委內瑞拉總統以來，川普政府一直明確威脅，古巴的共產政權可能緊隨其後。

Within hours of the raid that captured Maduro, Trump and his secretary of state, Marco Rubio, himself the son of Cuban exiles, had this to say.

馬杜羅被捕的突襲行動發生後幾小時內，川普和他的國務卿、古巴流亡者之子馬可魯比歐就發表了以下談話。

Cuba is, you know, not doing very well right now.

你知道，古巴現在過得不太好。

That system has not been a very good one for Cuba.

那個制度對古巴來說並不是一個很好的制度。

The people there have suffered for many, many years.

那裡的人們已經受苦了很多很多年了。

And I think Cuba is going to be something we'll end up talking about because Cuba is a failing nation right now, very badly failing nation.

我認為古巴將會是我們最終會談論到的事情，因為古巴現在是一個正在衰敗的國家，一個非常嚴重的衰敗國家。

It's very similar in the sense that we want to help the people in Cuba, but we want to also help the people that were forced out of Cuba and living in this country.

這非常相似，因為我們想幫助古巴人民，但我們也想幫助那些被迫離開古巴並居住在這個國家的人民。

Do you want to say something about that, Marco?

Well, I mean, I just gave you a statement a few minutes ago about, you know, when the president speaks, you should take him seriously.

嗯，我的意思是，我幾分鐘前才說過，你知道，總統說的話，你應該認真看待。

Suffice it to say, you know, Cuba is a disaster.

總之，你知道，古巴就是個災難。

It's run by incompetent, senile men, and in some cases, not senile, but incompetent nonetheless.

它由無能、老糊塗的男人掌權，有些甚至不是老糊塗，但同樣無能。

And by the way, you know, they were, you know, all of the guards that helped protect Maduro.

順帶一提，你知道，他們，你知道，所有幫助保護馬杜羅的守衛。

This is well known, their whole spy agency, all that were full of Cubans.

這眾所周知，他們的整個間諜機構，全都是古巴人。

我的意思是，他們基本上，這太令人驚訝了。

This poor island took over Venezuela in some cases.

這個可憐的島嶼在某些情況下接管了委內瑞拉。

One of the biggest problems that Venezuelans have is they have to declare independence from Cuba, they tried to basically colonize it from a security standpoint.

委內瑞拉人面臨的最大問題之一是，他們必須宣佈擺脫古巴的獨立，他們試圖從安全角度基本上殖民它。

So, yeah, look, if I lived in Havana and I was in the government, I'd be concerned at least a little bit.

所以，嗯，你看，如果我住在哈瓦那，而且我在政府裡，我至少會有點擔心。

So, yeah, Cuba really isn't in a good spot right now.

所以，嗯，古巴現在真的處境不佳。

And with an aggressive US Government breathing down their neck after the successful Maduro operation in Venezuela, a lot of analysts have started predicting that the Communist regime on the island, in power continually for the past 67 years, is now the closest it has ever been to finally collapsing, accomplishing one of the United States longest held geopolitical goals for decades.

而且隨著美國政府在委內瑞拉成功進行馬杜羅行動後，在他們脖子上緊逼，許多分析家開始預測，這個在島上持續掌權 67 年的共產主義政權，現在比以往任何時候都更接近最終崩潰，實現美國數十年來最長遠的地緣政治目標之一。

But people have also been predicting the Communist Party's imminent collapse in Cuba for a long, long time now, at least going back to the end of the Cold War when the Soviet Union collapsed in the early 1990s.

但人們也一直在預測古巴共產黨即將崩潰，這已經說了很久很久了，至少可以追溯到冷戰結束時，也就是 1990 年代初期蘇聯解體的時候。

And yet it's always somehow managed to endure and hang on despite all these outside people's expectations.

然而，儘管有所有這些外部人士的期望，它總是以某種方式設法維持和堅持了下來。

The Communist Party's control of Cuba has made it a thorn in the side of America for generations now.

共產黨對古巴的控制幾代人以來一直是美國的眼中釘。

The successive president after president since the Eisenhower administration has never been able to solve the island is essentially one of the final remaining relics of the Cold War that's still left behind in the world today, including its tense relationship with the United States.

自艾森豪總統政府以來，歷任總統都未能解決這個島嶼的問題，它基本上是世界上僅存的冷戰遺物之一，包括它與美國緊張的關係。

Cuba is arguably the only true surviving Marxist Leninist state state left over from the Cold War that never collapsed or significantly pivoted its ideology in the same kind of way that other surviving states that claim to be Communists today did, like North Korea, which went down the radical path of its own unique Juche nationalist ideology, or China, Vietnam, Laos, which have all adopted significant economic and free market reforms that have introduced vibrant private businesses that Cuba has still never done and resisted.

古巴可以說是冷戰時期唯一真正倖存的馬克思列寧主義國家，它沒有崩潰，也沒有像其他聲稱是共產主義的國家那樣大幅轉變意識形態，比如北韓，它走上了自己獨特的「主體」民族主義意識形態的激進道路，或者中國、越南、寮國，它們都採用了重大的經濟和自由市場改革，引入了充滿活力的私營企業，而古巴至今仍未做到並加以抵制。

And all of this is despite the fact that the world's last pure Marxist Leninist state exists just 90 miles away from the most capitalistic country on Earth, the United States, who has been embargoing all trade with Cuba and sanctioning it for decades now.

而且，這一切都發生在世界上最後一個純粹的馬克思列寧主義國家，距離地球上最資本主義的國家美國僅 90 英里，而美國數十年來一直對古巴實施貿易禁運和制裁。

In order for you to understand how Cuba got to what is potentially the brink of collapse today, why the relationship between Cuba and the United States has remained so tense even this long after the end of the Cold War, and how the orthodox Communist regime in Cuba has somehow managed to survive against all of the odds into the present day and defied everybody's previous predictions of collapse, and why this time might actually finally be different and helps to begin with just a little bit of backstory.

為了讓你瞭解古巴是如何走到今天這個潛在的崩潰邊緣的，為什麼古巴和美國之間的關係在冷戰結束這麼久之後仍然如此緊張，以及古巴的純正共產主義政權是如何設法在各種不利條件下生存至今並打破了所有人先前對其崩潰的預測，以及為什麼這次可能真的會不同，這需要從一點點的背景故事開始。

Immediately before the Communist revolution took place in Cuba, the country was ruled by this authoritarian dictator known as Fulgencio Batista.

在共產主義革命發生前夕，古巴由一位名叫富爾亨西奧·巴蒂斯塔的獨裁者統治。

Who who was genuinely widely unpopular and also backed by the United States because he did America's bidding, often to the detriment of his own people.

他非常不受歡迎，而且得到美國的支持，因為他唯美國馬首是瞻，常常損害自己的人民。

Batista was a colonel in the Cuban armed forces who served as the President of Cuba once between 1940 and 1944, and then ran again for a second term in 1952.

巴蒂斯塔是古巴軍隊的一名上校，曾在1940年至1944年間擔任古巴總統，然後在1952年再次競選連任。

When he faced almost certain defeat in that second election, he launched a military coup and seized power through force instead, after which he almost immediately suspended the Cuban Constitution and revoked most of the country's civil liberties, including the right for anyone at strike.

當他面臨在第二次選舉中幾乎肯定會落敗時，他發動了軍事政變，轉而武力奪權，之後他幾乎立即中止了古巴憲法，並撤銷了該國大部分公民自由，包括罷工權。

Then, in order to shore up his shaky and illegitimate position, Batista aligned himself closely to the US Government as a foreign benefactor, along with Cuba's own wealthy land owning elites who owned the island's largest sugar plantations, which was Cuba's number one trading commodity for centuries.

接著，為了鞏固他搖搖欲墜且不正當的地位，巴蒂斯塔與美國政府緊密結盟，將其視為外來恩主，同時也與古巴國內擁有該島最大糖料種植園的富裕地主精英們結盟，而糖料種植園幾個世紀以來一直是古巴最重要的貿易商品。

Batista was also very closely connected to the American Mafia and in exchange for bribes, he basically gave tax exempt status to mafia owned casinos, racetracks, brothels and nightclubs across the country, which was an open secret across Cuban society throughout the later 1950s, eventually due to him basically opening up the entire country to the Americans and other foreigners in exchange for blatant personal bribes.

巴蒂斯塔也與美國黑手黨關係密切，他為了賄賂，基本上給予黑手黨擁有的賭場、賽馬場、妓院和夜總會免稅地位，這在1950年代後期是古巴社會公開的祕密，最終因為他為了明顯的個人賄賂而基本上向美國人和外國人敞開了整個國家。

It reached a point under his rule where about 6, 70% of all the arable land in the country was owned by foreigners, including most of the island's most valuable asset, its sugar plantations.

在他的統治下，全國約有百分之六、七十的可耕地被外國人擁有，包括該島最寶貴的資產，也就是糖料種植園。

And perhaps the most infamous example of Batista's personal corruption and openness to bribes.

而這或許是巴蒂斯塔個人腐敗和樂於接受賄賂最臭名昭著的例子。

While he was dictator, an American telephone conglomerate literally presented him with a golden telephone during a ceremony to thank him for raising the prices of telephone usage within Cuba to ridiculous levels.

在他擔任獨裁者期間，一家美國電話集團在一次儀式上送給他一部金電話，感謝他將古巴國內電話使用價格提高到荒謬的程度。

Batista was openly willing to be personally bribed and enriched in exchange for making his fellow Cubans have to pay more for basic services provided by American companies.

巴蒂斯塔毫不掩飾地願意為了個人利益和財富而讓他的古巴同胞們為美國公司提供的基本服務支付更多費用。

Enduring him with absolutely zero loyalty from his own people and consistently making him appear to be nothing but a corporate American backed stooge to most.

他的民眾對他毫無忠誠可言，而且在他人民眼中，他只是一個被美國企業操控的傀儡。

As his unpopularity grew within Cuba, Batista consistently and increasingly resorted to the military censorship and repression to keep the Cuban people's anger under control, even even establishing his own secret police force that conducted massive violence, torture and even public executions.

隨著巴蒂斯塔在古巴越來越不受歡迎，他不斷訴諸軍事審查和鎮壓來控制古巴人民的怒火，甚至還成立了自己的祕密警察部隊，進行大規模的暴力、酷刑甚至公開處決。

Throughout Batista's dictatorial rule, it's believed that up to 20,000 Cubans were killed while countless others were jailed or tortured.

在巴蒂斯塔獨裁統治期間，據信多達兩萬名古巴人喪生，無數人被監禁或遭受酷刑。

And throughout all of this, the US government appeared indifferent to the suffering of the Cuban people so long as they got what they wanted out of Cuba economically.

而在這一切發生時，美國政府對古巴人民的苦難似乎漠不關心，只要他們能從古巴獲得經濟利益就好。

Throughout Batista's rule in Cuba, there was a saying that the US Ambassador was the second most powerful man on the island.

在巴蒂斯塔統治古巴期間，有句俗話說，美國大使是島上權力第二大的人。

He effectively controlled the flow of arms to Batista's regime, which he needed in order to repress his own people and defend his position of power.

他有效地控制了運往巴蒂斯塔政權的武器流，這些武器是他用來鎮壓自己人民和鞏固權力的。

In exchange for increasing the US arms deliveries, the ambassador would demand more generous conditions for US businesses on the island.

作為交換，他要求美國企業在島上享有更優惠的條件，以換取增加美國的武器運送。

Batista, along with his backers in Washington, were so repressive and unpopular in Cuba that large segments of the population began turning to the radical revolution being led by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara and their guerillas and a solution to their plight.

巴蒂斯塔和他華盛頓的支持者在古巴如此專橫和不受歡迎，以至於大部分民眾開始轉向由菲德爾·卡斯楚、切·格瓦拉及其遊擊隊領導的激進革命，尋求解決他們困境的辦法。

Instead, on the final day of the year in 1958, Castro's revolution was finally successful and Batista fled the country on New year's day of 1959 for the Dominican Republic, which at the time was ruled by fellow US backed right wing dictator Rafael Trujillo.

相反地，在1958年的最後一天，卡斯楚的革命終於成功了，巴蒂斯塔於1959年元旦逃往多明尼加共和國，當時該國由同樣是美國支持的右翼獨裁者拉斐爾·特魯希略統治。

Along with them, Batista also pillaged most of the Cuban treasury's assets to the tune of as much as $700 million worth of cash and fine art, which immediately kneecapped Castro's inc revolutionary government that overthrew him.

巴蒂斯塔還 साथ में 捲走了古巴國庫的大部分資產，高達七億美元的現金和藝術品，這立刻削弱了推翻他的卡斯楚革命政府。

Nonetheless, Castro was dramatically popular with most of the Cuban people at the time, both for having overthrown the oppressive and hated Batista regime and for his own personal charisma and sense of presence.

不過，當時卡斯楚深受大多數古巴人民的愛戴，一方面是因為他推翻了壓迫且令人憎恨的巴蒂斯塔政權，另一方面也是因為他個人獨特的魅力和氣質。

Many of Cuba's old elites who were close to the Batista regime immediately began fleeing the country, especially to South Florida.

許多與巴蒂斯塔政權關係密切的古巴舊權貴，立刻開始逃離這個國家，尤其是逃往南佛羅裡達。

While Castro himself initially insisted that his revolution was not actually communist in nature, attempting instead to present at least a nominal restoration of democracy in Cuba, Nonetheless, the US government was still intensely worried about what Castro's rise to power in Cuba meant for their lucrative and exploitative business interests on the island.

雖然卡斯楚本人起初堅持他的革命本質上並非共產主義，而是試圖至少名義上恢復古巴的民主，但美國政府仍然非常擔心卡斯楚在古巴掌權對他們在島上有利可圖且剝削性的商業利益意味著什麼。

So the Eisenhower administration began preparing the top secret Bay of Pigs invasion operation to use CIA trained Cuban exile anti Castro paramilitaries to invade the island and topple Castro, ideally from Washington's perspective, enabling them to claim at least some degree of plausible deniability.

是以，艾森豪政府開始準備絕密的豬灣入侵行動，利用中央情報局訓練的、反對卡斯楚的古巴流亡準軍事部隊入侵該島並推翻卡斯楚，理想情況下，華盛頓可以聲稱至少在某種程度上擁有「合理否認」的空間。

A few months after the Bay of Pigs plan began being set into motion, American owned oil refineries on Cuba refused to accept Castro's demand that they begin processing oil from the Soviet Union, which led to Castro nationalizing and expropriating their assets over the summer of 1960, which led to the US halting their imports of Cuba's sugar, which led to Castro retaliating by nationalizing even more US owned assets in the country.

在豬灣計畫開始實施幾個月後，古巴的美國石油煉油廠拒絕接受卡斯楚要求他們開始處理蘇聯石油的要求，這導致卡斯楚在1960年夏天將其資產國有化和徵收，進而導致美國停止進口古巴的糖，這又導致卡斯楚採取報復行動，將國內更多美國資產國有化。

Country in a spiraling tit for tat trade war after JFK assumed the presidency in early 1961, he inherited the Eisenhower administration's planning for The Bay of Pigs operation, which he decided to ultimately authorize in April of that year.

在1961年初甘迺迪總統上任後，國家陷入了螺旋式的以牙還牙貿易戰，他繼承了艾森豪政府為豬灣行動所做的計畫，並最終在當年4月準許了該計畫。

A few months later, and which would quickly prove to be a catastrophic overplaying of Washington's own hand.

幾個月後，這 proved to be a catastrophic overplaying of Washington's own hand.

The day before the roughly 1000 man strong force of Cuban exile paramilitaries hit the beach in Cuba, the US Air Force began bombing strategic Cuban airfields in order to weaken their defenses.

在約一千名古巴流亡準軍事部隊登陸古巴的前一天，美國空軍開始轟炸戰略性的古巴機場，以削弱他們的防禦力量。

And Castro finally publicly declared himself a Marxist Leninist for the first time.

而卡斯楚也終於首次公開宣稱自己是馬克思列寧主義者。

In response, the next day the Cuban exile paramilitary stormed the beaches at the Bay of Pigs.

作為回應，第二天，古巴流亡準軍事部隊衝向豬灣的海灘。
