The White House on Thursday announced more economic sanctions against Russia, saying they've taken steps to degrade any key networks used by Russia's elites, including President Vladimir Putin, "to hide and move money and anonymously make use of luxury assets around the globe."

周四，白宫宣布对俄罗斯实施更多经济制裁，称他们已采取措施，削弱包括总统弗拉基米尔·普京在内的俄罗斯精英使用的任何关键网络，这些网络“用于隐藏和转移资金，以及匿名使用全球各地的奢侈品资产”。

The White House said the targets include a yacht brokerage, aircraft, and Russian officials and others close to Putin.

白宫方面表示，袭击目标包括一家游艇经纪公司、飞机、俄罗斯官员和其他与普京关系密切的人。

Targeted yachts include the Russia-flagged Graceful and the Cayman Islands-flagged Olympia, as well as two other yachts, both owned by Russian companies.

目标游艇包括悬挂俄罗斯国旗的优雅号和悬挂开曼群岛国旗的奥林匹亚号，以及另外两艘游艇，这两艘游艇均为俄罗斯公司所有。

The White House said the new sanctions were made "to crack down on evasion" and tighten sanctions already in place "to enhance enforcement increase pressure on Putin and his enablers."

白宫表示，新的制裁是为了“打击逃税”，并加强已经实施的制裁，“以加强执法力度，增加对普京及其支持者的压力”。
