福克斯新闻 美国联邦调查局局长表示极端恐怖组织"ISIS"在美国招募新成员的难度加大（在线收听）

FBI Director James Comey told reporters that ISIS is finding it more difficult to recruit new members from the U.S.

美国联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米告诉记者,极端恐怖组织“ISIS”在美国招募新成员会越来越困难。

Comey said that between six and ten Americans a month in 2014 and the first half of 2015 traveled to the Middle East or tried to go there to join ISIS.

科米表示在2014年一个月及2015年上半年曾有6至10名美国人曾前往中东或试图加入这个极端恐怖组织。

However, that number has dwindled down to one per month since last summer.

然而,这一数字自去年夏天已经减少到每个月1人。

Comey didn't say why there was a downturn, but the FBI has worked aggressively in the last year to identify and intercept Americans who wanted to reach Syria.

科米没有说为什么这个数字会下降,但联邦调查局自去年以来就开始积极调查甄别并拦截想前往达叙利亚的美国人。

The FBI acknowledged that the terrorist groups ability to inspire new members remains a persistent concern.

FBI承认他们仍会继续调查这个极端恐怖组织招募新成员的能力。
