她愛用紅色唇膏💄，搭配鑽石💎和緊身牛仔褲👖，身上穿戴的一切都是如此浮誇，每一處都在凸顯「黑幫女友」（buchona）的流行形象。但如今，「販毒女王」艾瑪·科羅內爾·埃斯普洛（Emma Coronel Aispuro）被逮捕了，單獨關在美國弗吉尼亞州監獄的一個小牢房裏，。

科羅內爾原本在紐約過著紙醉金迷的生活，享受著與墨西哥大毒梟「矮子」，華金·古茲曼·洛埃拉（Joaquin Guzman Loera，也稱華金·古斯曼）結婚帶來的種種好處。

今年早些時候，這位31歲的前選美皇后在弗吉尼亞州的杜勒斯國際機場被捕。她被控協助毒梟丈夫經營惡名昭著的錫納羅亞販毒集團（Sinaloa Cartel）。而64歲的古茲曼現正在科羅拉多州的聯邦特別監獄服刑，他被判處無期徒刑。

關於科羅內爾的審判日期尚未確定。如果罪名成立，她可能會被判終身監禁。

撇開有罪還或是無罪的問題，研究販毒世界的專家說，科羅內爾實際上為自己塑造了一個不尋常的角色：她是公眾人物，也是企業家和看門人，決定丈夫在經營販毒集團時，誰可以接觸到丈夫。

美國加州大學聖地亞哥分校法蘭曼德斯教授說，傳統的毒販之妻「充滿性魅力」但「沒有能力」。可是，科羅內爾與眾不同，她表明女性在販毒集團裏可以當「坐館」（即話事人）。

然而，販毒集團的「坐館」是非常危險的工作。據美國緝毒局的前特工描述，幹這一行，你要麼被抓，要麼被殺。

🖐🏽 五分鐘來關心國際時事 — 墨西哥治安 🇲🇽

📰 Mexico Reports Slight Decline in 2019 Homicides
Nation’s murder rate remained at highest level in decades despite fall in number of killings

MEXICO CITY—Mexico registered 209 fewer homicides in 2019 than a year earlier, the first decline in five years, though the murder rate remained at its highest level in decades, the National Statistics Institute said Wednesday.

📌 這篇文章討論墨西哥 (Mexico) 的殺人罪 (homicide) 數字的微小下降(slight decline)。nation是國家的意思，在這裡是指墨西哥，這是常用修辭方法之一。作者也用同義詞提高文章的可讀性： homicide vs murder vs killing。

The country registered 36,476 homicides last year, down from 36,685 in 2018, according to preliminary data based on death certificates. The homicide rate was unchanged from 2018 at 29 per 100,000 inhabitants, the highest level on records stretching back 30 years.

📌 這段交代有關數據，register (登記)、down from (從...下降)、according to preliminary data (根據初步資料) 和 unchanged (不變的)是常見用語。

“The important thing is that the government doesn’t rest on its laurels by saying we’ve slowed the rise in homicides,” said Cassius Wilkinson, a security analyst at political-risk consultancy Empra. “A plateau at historic highs still isn’t good for Mexico’s public security.”

📌 這段引述一位保安分析員 (security analyst) 的意見。rest on one’s laurels (不求進步) 是道地用語。plateau的原意是高原，在這裡引申指有關數字維持於高位不降。

Monthly police reports for 2020 show that homicides were up 1.5% in the first eight months of this year from a year earlier, although the numbers have been overshadowed by more than 74,000 deaths of people infected with the coronavirus.

The drop in the preliminary number of homicides for 2019 will likely become a small increase when final data are released at the end of October, said security analyst Alejandro Hope. “The good news is that it’s not growing, the bad news is that it’s not falling,” he added.

📌 這兩段繼續分析有關數字的走勢。overshadowed by (因為...失色的) 是生動的用語。preliminary 跟 final 是異義詞，the good news is that…the bad news is that… 是平行結構，也是很好的修辭方式。

Lowering the level of violence, much of it by organized-crime groups, is among the main concerns of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador whose strategy has been to reduce direct confrontation between security forces and heavily armed criminal gangs.

Since taking office at the end of 2018, Mr. López Obrador has disbanded the Federal Police and replaced it with a National Guard drawn mostly from the ranks of army and naval police. The National Guard has close to 100,000 members, and is expected to increase to 140,000.

📌 這兩段介紹墨西哥總統其中一項主要關注 (main concern) 就是降低暴力的水平 (lower the level of violence)。他的策略 (strategy) 是減少保安部隊 (security forces) 和犯罪集團 (criminal gang) 之間的直接對抗 (direct confrontation)。

Homicide rates last year fell in 15 of the country’s 32 states, including Baja California Sur and Quintana Roo—home to tourism hubs Los Cabos and Cancún—and Mexico City.

Among the most violent states was Guanajuato in central Mexico, which has been the site of fighting between the Jalisco New Generation Cartel and a gang of fuel thieves called the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel. Authorities arrested José Antonio Yépez, the alleged head of the fuel theft gang, in early August.

While violence increased in Guanajuato, the homicide rate fell last year in neighboring Jalisco state. The number of murders could be masked by an increase in forced disappearances in the state as the Jalisco cartel consolidates its control of the area, said Mr. Wilkinson.

“A lot of the states that lead the rankings are leading for different reasons,” he added, noting increased killings in northern states such as Sonora and Chihuahua. “I wouldn’t be surprised if the 2020 numbers are much higher.”

📌 這四段詳細分析墨西哥不同州的殺人罪率 (homicide rate)去年的情況。the rankings的意思就是排名。在旅游樞紐 (tourism hub)的州殺人罪率下降，個別州份因爲幫派的打鬥變得最暴力的。

墨西哥毒梟的私人軍隊

"CJNG" Cartel in México, they have an army, the civilians only sticks and stones.

#墨西哥 #毒梟 猖獗，光天化日下擄人勒贖是常有的事，而且常常拿了錢就撕票。2014年一名母親（Miriam Rodríguez）在女兒遭到毒梟集團綁架殺害，但她沒有被擊倒，而是獨立調查跟監，把綁匪一個個送進監獄，替女兒復仇。墨西哥的毒梟為什麼那麼囂張？政府又為什麼束手無策？
