Aug 17th 2013| TEHRAN |From the print edition
THE Islamic Republic has always had its addicts.
伊朗伊斯兰共和国一直都有瘾君子。
Its long border with Afghanistan, the world’s biggest opium producer, and the Islamic stigma against drinking alcohol mean that opium and its derivatives are cheap, strong and readily available.
与阿富汗接壤的边境是世界上最大的鸦片制造地。伊斯兰禁止喝酒这一特征意味着鸦片和鸦片相关的衍生物既便宜，瘾大，而且容易买到。
An official youth unemployment rate of 28% and inflation running at 42% a year, both aggravated by American and European economic sanctions, have helped to turn ever more Iranians to hard drugs.
受美国和欧洲的经济制裁的影响，官方数据显示伊朗每年青年失业率为28%，通货膨胀飙升42%，这将把比以往更多的伊朗人推向沉迷毒品的深渊。
According to Iran’s own figures, 2m Iranians in a population of 75m are addicted, the world’s highest incidence.
根据伊朗自己的数据来看，7500万伊朗人中有200万人沉迷毒品，是世界上吸毒人口比率最高的。
Most experts put the real figure even higher.
大多数专家认为真正的数据甚至比这还高。
Crack(as Iranians call it), a cheap, highly addictive derivative of heroin unique to Iran, is rife in the poorer quarters of Iran’s big cities.

It is favoured by many poor and disheartened young men and by many middle-class women trying to stay thin.

Last year a member of parliament called for action against beauty and hairdressing salons where meth is peddled to women, who are often unaware what they are buying.
去年国会的一名议员呼吁采取行动反对美容美发沙龙把冰毒卖给压根不知道自己买的是什么的女性。
A report claimed that courses for teaching people to produce crystal meth at home could be bought for as little as 2-3m rials (then $70-100).
报告声称教人们在家生产冰毒的教程要至少200到300万里亚尔才能买到（相当于70至100美元）。
Davarze Ghar, a district south of Tehran’s sprawling main bazaar, is one of the capital’s most blighted.
Davarze Ghar是德黑兰庞大但散乱延伸着的中心集市南边的一个区域，是首都德黑兰中最破败的一个地方。
At its heart is a reservoir, encircled by a shabby park, where groups of men and women huddle together, smoking meth out of glass pipes or openly injecting crack-heroin.
其中心是个水库，由破旧的公园环绕，在那里，成群的男男女女挤着、蜷缩着聚在一起，用玻璃烟斗吸冰毒或者公开注射可卡因海洛因。
Health officials and social workers in the area complain that funds for outreach and rehabilitation programmes have—thanks to sanctions—been frozen.
这个区域的卫生官员和社会工作者抱怨说由于制裁，用于扩大服务范围的基金和康复项目都已经被冻结了。
Yet Iran has some of the world’s most go-ahead policies for addressing the problem, with methadone clinics, charities for tackling drug addiction and programmes for needle exchanges.
然而伊朗有一些世界超前的政策来解决问题，和美沙酮戒毒诊疗所、福利机构一起应对毒品成瘾和针具互换混用问题。
At the same time, dealers are dealt with harshly.
同时，商人们会被严肃处理。
Hundreds of smugglers have been hanged and thousands of police officers killed in costly counter-narcotics operations in the past three decades.
在过去的三十年里，数以百计的走私者已被绞死，成千上万的警察付出了惨重的代价，在禁毒行动中被杀。
If Iran’s new president, Hassan Rohani, can fulfil his promise to reduce youth unemployment and cure Iran of its economic malaise, he may prevent a generation of Iranians from becoming the most addled in the world.
如果伊朗的新总统哈桑·鲁哈尼能够实现他的承诺，来降低青年人失业率，挽救伊朗萎靡的经济，他就有可能阻止伊朗人成为世界上最腐坏的一代。

The current USD rate to IRR (Iranian Rial) for USD100 is IRR 1,228,500 and not '2-3 million rials'.
