Speaking now with ambassador L.Paul Bremmer III, he is the former chairman on the national commission on terrorism.
[00:-0.50]现在跟L·保罗·布里墨大使谈一谈，他们是国家恐怖主义委员会前主席。
[00:-1.00]He is also the man that headed the government's investigation¹ into the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbeigh.
[00:-1.50]他当年曾领导政府调查美103客机炸弹爆炸事件。
[00:-2.00]Mr.Ambassador I think the question that's on the minds of all Americans this day:How could something like this happen here?
[00:-2.50]大使先生，我想今天在所有美国人心中的问题就是：这样的事怎么会发生在这儿？
[00:-3.00]L.Paul Bremmer:Well, that's a very good question and there's going to be a lot answers needed.
[00:-3.50]L·保罗·布里墨：唔，这是个非常好的问题，这里面有很多不同需求答案。
[00:-4.00]One of the most immediate³ questions that I have is:How is it possible to hijack⁴ four planes in a period when we really have done away with hijacking⁵.
[00:-4.50]我最为逼切的一个问题是：当我们已经彻底消灭了劫机事件的发生时，怎么可能在同一时段内劫持四架飞机？
[00:-5.00]So there is a major question about airport security that immediately raises itself.
[00:-5.50]因此这里就有个机场自身要立即面临的关于机场安全主要问题。
[00:-6.00]On the broader question:We have all known all along that we are vulnerable to mass terrorists and some of us have been warning about this for some years now.
[00:-6.50]更为明显的问题是：我们所有人都知道对于大批的恐怖主义分子我们始终是防不胜防的，并且我们其中一些人士已被告知要对此警惕好几年了。
[00:-7.00]And you have to start sort of philosophically⁶ accepting that there is no such thing as 100% security.
[00:-7.50]你们不得不开始冷静地接受这并没有百分之一百的事情
[00:-8.00]You can't defend against everything everywhere. This is an appalling⁷ tragedy.
[00:-8.50]你不能保卫每处地方的一切。这是个可怕的悲剧。
[00:-9.00]Interviewer:This is an highly orchestrated attack it would seem. The timing⁸ very well planned and as you say the planning involved with hijacking four planes simultaneously⁹...
[00:-9.50]采访者：这是一次精心策划的袭击。时间计划的很好，就如你所说的计划同时段劫持四架飞机……
[00:10.00]Bremmer:Yeah, this is a very highly planned, well-executed terrorist attack.
[00:10.50]布里墨：是的，这是一次非常有计划的，得逞了的恐怖主义袭击。
[00:11.00]Int.:The short list:who's capable of pulling this off?
[00:11.50]采访者：在疑犯名单上，谁能够实施这次事件呢？
[00:12.00]Br.:There's basically, in my view, are potentially four possible candidates.
[00:12.50]布里墨：我自己看来，基本上，可以有这四个嫌疑人。
[00:13.00]Obviously Osama Bin² Ladan is one, another would be a disgruntled group from the Middle East,
[00:13.50]奥萨玛·本·拉登显然其中是一个，另一个是来自中东的恐怖组织，
[00:14.00]a Palestinian Islamic Jihad, or Hisbala, and then there are two states which could possibly conduct such an attack.
[00:14.50]一个巴勒斯坦伊斯兰教的圣战组织，或者是Hisblav,接着是两个可能实施这起袭击事件的国家：
[00:15.00]They would be Iran and Iraq.
[00:15.50]他们是伊朗和伊拉克。
[00:16.00]Int.:When you go about trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together to find out who is in fact ultimately responsible of those four groups that you mentioned,
[00:16.50]采访者：你打算什么时候着手把这些零星碎片拼凑到一起尽力找出你所提到四个组织的最终幕后主使人，
[00:17.00]how do you go about doing that?
[00:17.50]你会怎样开始着手去做？
[00:18.00]Bre.:Well I think the investigation will start with the hijackings because that's where the terrorists will have shown themselves.
[00:18.50]布里墨：这个我认为要从劫机事件开展调查，因为劫机过程中是恐怖分子完全暴露的时候。
[00:19.00]The F.B.I. will have to get onto the questions about first how did they get through security and who were they,
[00:19.50]联邦调查局则必须先从这些问题着手，他们是怎样通过安检的？他们是谁？
[00:20.00]did they have to buy tickets, or did they attack these planes on the ground?
[00:20.50]他们是否一定买了机票？他们是否在地面上袭击了这些飞机？
[00:21.00]I mean there is a whole series of questions that have to be asked.

[00:21.50]我意思是这有一整系列的问题要问。
[00:22.00]And once we identify the people then we will start to track back to who they were working for.
[00:22.50]一旦我们确认出那些人，接着我们就会顺藤追查出他们到底为谁干活。
[00:23.00]Int.:As far as Americans and their personal safety should we assume at this time that this round of terrorism is over with or should we be on alert for the next 12,24,48 hours for something else?
[00:23.50]采访者：时至今时，就美国人和他们的人身安全来说，我们是否该认为这轮恐怖主义袭击事件已经结束，还是我们要为接下来的12小时、24小时会发生什么别的事而警惕？
[00:24.00]Bre.:Well I think it is important to avoid panic. I don't think that's useful.
[00:24.50]布里墨：我认为避免恐慌是重要的。我不觉得恐慌有用。
[00:25.00]And I'm happy to say that I'm in Washington D.C. and I don't think there is panic here.
[00:25.50]我可以很高兴地说我住在华盛顿，我不觉得那儿存在恐慌，
[00:26.00]But it is important to stay alert,
[00:26.50]但保持警惕是重要的。
[00:27.00]on the other hand it pretty hard to be alert against an airplane that's going to fly into a building you're working in so there's a limit to what you can do.
[00:27.50]另一方面要警惕一架准备飞进你办公大楼的飞机却是相当困难的，因此在这种情况下你能做的是有限的。
[00:28.00]Int.:If the United States and President Bush and the U.S.Government are able to with a reasonable amount of certainty determine who is responsible or who they believe is responsible for this attack, how do you deal with that?
[00:28.50]采访者：如果美国和布什总统和美国政府能够以充分合理的确世证据确定此次袭击事件的肇事者或嫌疑人，你会怎样处理？
[00:29.00]Bre.:With the most vigorous possible military response you can come up with these are acts of war.
[00:29.50]布里墨：用最强的军力准备战争。
[00:30.00]Pure and Simple. You have to make it absolutely clear that we will not tolerate this kind of attacks on Americans.
[00:30.50]这种方式单纯且简单，你对此得绝对清楚，我们不会容忍这种对美国的袭击事件。
[00:31.00]Int.:Speaking with Ambassador L.Paul Bremmer III. He is the former chairman of the National Commission on Terrorism.
[00:31.50]采访者：跟我们访谈的是L·保罗·布莱墨三世。他是国家恐怖主义委员会前任主席。
[00:32.00]He is also the man that headed the government's investigation into the bombing of Pan Am flight 103.
[00:32.50]同时他曾是当年领导政府调查泛美103客机炸弹爆炸案的领导人。
[00:33.00]Thanks very much Ambassador.
[00:33.50]非常感谢你。
