Pistol on belt and walkie-talkie in hand, President Abelardo de la Espriella strides(大步走) along with security forces on night-time raids. Alleged criminals, paraded(游街示众) in handcuffs, are struck dumb(哑口无言). Colombia’s new sheriff taunts them, then packs them off to jail(把他们送进监狱) with one of his signature lines: Bienvenido a la Patria Milagro(欢迎来到奇迹之国)—“Welcome to the Miracle Nation.”
阿韦拉多·德拉埃斯普列利亚总统腰别手枪、手持对讲机，与安全部队一起夜间突袭。涉嫌犯罪的嫌疑人戴着手铐被游街示众，吓得哑口无言。这位哥伦比亚的新警长嘲弄他们，然后用他的标志性台词之一把他们送进监狱：“Bienvenido a la Patria Milagro”——“欢迎来到奇迹之国。”
The videos posted to the president’s social-media channels provide a gratifying(令人满足的) show for Colombians tired of crime. Mr de la Espriella, a flamboyant right-wing populist who calls himself El Tigre, promised an iron fist and rip-roaring growth.(德拉埃斯普列利亚先生是一位浮夸的右翼民粹主义者，自称“老虎”，他承诺要铁腕治国并实现迅猛增长。) Approaching 100 days in power, the Tiger has got started on both.
总统社交媒体频道上发布的视频，为厌倦犯罪的哥伦比亚人提供了一场令人满意的表演。德拉埃斯普列利亚先生是一位浮夸的右翼民粹主义者，自称“老虎”，他承诺要铁腕治国并实现迅猛增长。执政近百日，“老虎”已在两方面都开始行动。
But it will take more than TikTok videos to break the influence that armed groups which run drug-trafficking and illegal mining operations hold over swathes of the country—and certainly more to tackle Colombia’s fiscal crisis.(但要想打破武装团体对该国大片地区的影响力，仅靠TikTok视频远远不够——这些团体从事贩毒和非法采矿活动；要解决哥伦比亚的财政危机，更是远远不够。) Meanwhile Mr de la Espriella’s illiberal(反自由的) instincts have set him on a collision course(冲突路线) with Congress and the courts. And the left-wing coalition that lost to him by less than one percentage point in the presidential run-off(决选) is encouraging his critics onto the streets.
但要想打破武装团体对该国大片地区的影响力，仅靠TikTok视频远远不够——这些团体从事贩毒和非法采矿活动；要解决哥伦比亚的财政危机，更是远远不够。与此同时，德拉埃斯普列利亚先生的反自由本能使他与国会和法院走上碰撞之路。而在总统决选中以不到一个百分点之差输给他的左翼联盟，正鼓动他的批评者走上街头。
Stick ’em up, punk
