We start today in Tikrit. It`s a city in northern central Iraq. It`s the birthplace of former Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, who was killed in the Iraq War. It was one scene of fighting in the Iraq War and now it`s a battlefield once again, this time between Iraqi forces and the ISIS terrorist group.

今天的新闻从提克里特说起。这是伊拉克中北部的一座城市，是伊拉克前独裁统治着萨达姆侯赛因的出生地，并在伊拉克战争中被杀。这个场景在伊拉克战争中出线过，今天又重新出线在伊拉克战场。而这次战争双方为伊拉克部队和ISIS恐怖组织。

ISIS took over the city last June.

在去年六月份ISIS占领了给城市。

The Iraqi Army and militiamen are fighting to take it back. They`ve failed to capture it several times before. This new assault is important for several reasons. For one, these troops were trained by U.S. and other coalition forces. This battle could indicate whether that training made a difference.

伊拉克军队和民兵组织正在为夺回对该城市的控制权进行激烈战争。之前也曾进行几次争夺战，但最后都以失败告终。而这次新的进攻有非常重要的几点原因。首先，这些部队都经美国和其他联盟军进行过训练。此次战斗可能是对训练成果的考核。

It`s expected to last a while. If it succeeds, it could show that recapturing Mosul, a much larger city controlled by ISIS, is possible. If it fails, it could spell disaster for the Iraqi capital of Baghdad and the fight against ISIS in Iraq.

预计战斗将会持续一段时间。如果进攻成功，作战部队将重新控制摩苏尔城镇，这是被ISIS恐怖组织控制的比较大的城市。如果进攻失败，这对于伊拉克首都巴格达和对在伊拉克进行对抗ISIS组织的作战部队来讲都是灾难性结果。
