My homeland has become a place where too many people are victims, succumbing to a virus, or gunned down by a drug-trafficker; assaulted by a robber, shot by an ill-trained policeman, or kidnapped by a member of a criminal gang. The flu epidemic, which probably began in the southern state of Veracruz, is yet another sign that all is not well in Mexico.
今天的墨西哥，病毒肆虐、毒贩猖獗、盗贼横行，再加上警察训练无素，有太多人为此丢了性命，太多人被犯罪团伙所挟持绑架。这场可能源自南部韦拉克鲁斯州的猪流感疫情则给墨西哥目前一团糟的局面雪上加霜。
