The portrait of desperation was captured on Monday by a journalist, in the hours after Oscar Alberto Martínez from El Salvador died with his 23-month-old daughter, as they tried to cross from Mexico to the United States. The image represents a poignant distillation of the perilous journey migrants face on their passage north to the United States, and the tragic consequences that often go unseen in the loud and caustic debate over border policy. Trump administration has attempted to criminalize those entering the United States illegally and drastically slowed down the ability of migrants to apply for asylum in the United States. For all the hard-line policies, hundreds of thousands of migrants continue to embark on the dangerous journey to the United States from Central America and elsewhere. But for every migrant who chooses to take the journey, whether on foot, packed into cargo trucks or on the top of trains, the fear of what lies behind outweighs that which lies ahead. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.capture [?k?pt??(r)]vt. ________________________ 2.pathos [?pe?θ?s] n. ________________________ 3.tuck [t?k]vt. ________________________ 4.drape [dre?p]vt.________________________ 5.represent [?repr??zent]vt. ________________________ 6.poignant [?p??nj?nt]adj. ________________________ 7.distillation [?d?st??le??n]n. ________________________ 8.perilous [?per?l?s]adj. ________________________ 9.criminalize [?kr?m?n?la?z]vt. ________________________ 10.drastically [?dr?st?kli] adv. ________________________ 11.asylum [??sa?l?m]n. ________________________ 12.hard-l
