Russian President Vladimir Putin doubled down Wednesday on his faltering invasion of Ukraine with the declaration of martial law in four annexed regions in preparations within Russia for draconian new restrictions, as well as crackdowns.
俄罗斯总统普京周三在冲突处于劣势的情况下更进一步，宣布在四个被吞并的地区实施戒严，为俄罗斯国内实施严格的新限制和镇压做准备。
Putin's drastic efforts help to tighten his grip on the Ukrainians and Russians and it follows a series of embarrassing setbacks stinging battlefield losses, sabotage and troubles with his troop mobilization.
普京此番重大努力旨在加强其对乌克兰人和俄罗斯人的控制，此前，他在战场上遭受了一系列挫折困境，遭受了惨重的战场损失和蓄意破坏，部队动员方面也面临困境。
The martial law order belies the Kremlin's attempts to portray life in the annexed regions as returning to normal, and the reality is that a military administration has now replaced civilian leaders in the southern city of Kherson and a mass evacuation from the city is underway as a Ukrainian counteroffensive grinds on.
戒严令是俄罗斯政府的掩饰，想让被吞并地区的人民生活表面上恢复正常，而现实是，俄罗斯军事当局已经取代了赫尔松南部城市的人民领袖，随着乌克兰继续进行反攻，大批人员正在撤离赫尔松。
The battle for Kherson, a city of more than 250,000 people with key industries and a major port, is a pivotal moment for Ukraine.
对乌克兰来说，对赫尔松的争夺是战斗的关键。赫尔松是一座人口超过25万的城市，拥有关键工业和一个主要港口。
