First up, Iraqi forces say they`re fighting back. They`re trying to retake control of two provinces in western and central Iraq from the Islamic State terrorist group. ISIS expanded its territory last week, capturing the city of Ramadi. It`s 70 miles away from the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

首先，伊拉克安全部队称他们打算收复失地。他们计划夺回伊拉克西部和中部被伊斯兰恐怖组织占领的两个省份。ISIS在上周的时候扩张了占领领土范围，并攻占了拉马迪城市。而这座城市距离伊拉克首都巴格达仅有70英里距离。

U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said that the Iraqi army in Ramadi vastly outnumbered the ISIS fighters but that it didn`t want to fight. An Iraqi soldier put the blame on military leadership and said the army didn`t have enough supplies or support.

美国国防部长艾什顿卡特说伊拉克方面在拉马迪的军队数量比ISIS激进分子数量多的多，但是伊拉克军队并不像打仗。一位伊拉克视屏指责称军队指挥官没能领导好军队，并称军队已经没有了足够的装备的支持。

But all this has renewed international pressure on the U.S. government, to do more to fight ISIS, following the terrorist group`s two key victories last week.

但是所有这些都给美国政府带来了很强的国际压力，随着恐怖组织在上周时候取得两次重大胜利，国际社会更加要求美国政府采取措施对抗ISIS。
