幾個月來， 多達8000名古巴移民一直滯留在哥斯達黎加。他們從自己的家園前往厄瓜多爾，途經(jīng)哥倫比亞、巴拿馬，進入哥斯達黎加。但尼加拉瓜卻拒絕移民入境。
The migrants left Cuba for the United States. They said they feared that they would miss the opportunity to seek asylum in the U.S. Recently improved relations between the U.S. and Cuba could end a policy that gives Cubans asylum rights if they arrive by land.
移民們離開古巴，前往美國。他們表示他們擔心將錯過在美國尋求庇護的機會。美國與古巴之間的關(guān)系最近得到改善，可能會結(jié)束如果從陸路到達將給予古巴移民庇護的政策。
U.S. and Central American leaders reached an agreement in December. The deal permits the migrants to be flown from Costa Rica to El Salvador,before being taken to the U.S.-Mexico border by bus. Visit the website www.chinavoa.com to get more information!
十二月，美國和中美洲領(lǐng)導人達成協(xié)議。該協(xié)議允許古巴移民在乘坐公共汽車到達美國墨西哥邊境前，從哥斯達黎加乘飛機飛往薩爾瓦多。
The migrants arrived in Miami Sunday, after 180 of them first crossed the U.S.-Mexico border last week at Laredo, Texas.
上周在德克薩斯拉雷多, 首批180名古巴移民穿越美國墨西哥邊境后，周日，移民們抵達邁阿密。
The plan will be reviewed by the Central American governments before it is expanded to allow the other Cubans to leave for the U.S.
在將其擴大到允許其他古巴移民離開前往美國之前，該項計劃將由中美洲各政府進行審查。
Officials estimate it will take 28 airplane flights to get all of the Cuban migrants to El Salvador.
官員們估計將所有古巴移民運送至薩爾瓦多將需要28架航班。
