中英双语新闻 FBI前局长出庭指控特朗普说谎

 

BBC News with Jamely.

The former director of the FBI, James Comey, has been giving an extraordinary account of his dealings with President Trump¹ in the weeks of months leading up to his 

sacking. Speaking under oath before the Senate Intelligence Committee, he said the administration had lied by claiming the FBI was in disarray² and under poor 

leadership. Mr. Comey said he believed he had been fired to change the way the investigation³ into Russian interference in the presidential election was being 

conducted. And he said he had leaked an account of the conversations, because he hoped a special investigative council would be appointed.

Mr. Trump's personal lawyer, Marc Kasowitz, has rejected Mr. Comey's allegations. Mr. Kasowitz told reporters that President Trump never told the FBI director that he 

expected loyalty⁴ from him, and he never stopped him from investigating anyone. Mr. Kasowitz suggested that Mr. Comey should be prosecuted⁵ for leaking privileged 

information.

In other news, the United States has shot down a drone in Syria, suspected of belonging to pro-Syrian government forces that was firing on fighters from the American-

led coalition⁶. The U.S. military spokesman said it was the first time that the Syrian government had attacked coalition forces.

Egypt has called on the United Nations Security Council to investigate accusations⁷ that Qatar paid up to one billion dollars in ransom⁸ to a terrorist group in Iraq. 

It's the latest effort by several Arab states to put pressure on Qatar over its alleged⁹ connections with terrorism.

The Anglican Church in Scotland, the Scottish Episcopal Church, has narrowly voted to allow same-sex couples to marry. This makes it the first Anglican Church in 

Britain to do so.

British researchers say it might be possible to develop an alternative to antibiotics¹⁰ for treating diseases in pigs, a process that could also overcome growing human 

drug resistance. The team at Leicester University has identified a range of viruses, called phages, which have shown great promise in the lab at killing¹¹ common pig 

infections.

FBI前局长科米(James Comey)讲述了其在被解雇前的一段时间里与特朗普之间的交涉。在面向参议院情报委员会提供宣誓证词时，科米表示，特朗普政府称FBI领导不力、已成一盘散沙的说法

是一派胡言。科米还表示，他认为自己被解雇是因为他想改变关于俄罗斯干涉总统大选调查的方式。他还表示自己泄露了与特朗普谈话的部分内容，因为他希望能就此事设立一个特别的调查委员会。

特朗普私人律师马克 卡索维茨(Marc Kasowitz)否认了科米的指控。卡索维茨向记者表示，特朗普从未跟科米表露过希望其效忠于自己的想法，特朗普也从未阻止过科米调查任何人。卡索维茨表示，科米应该因泄露不该泄露的信息而受到起诉。

苏格兰圣公会(Scottish Episcopal Church)以微弱的优势得出了投票结果——允许同性恋结婚。这是英国第一家允许同性恋结婚的国教。

英国研究人员称，可能研发出一种代替抗生素的物质，来治疗猪身上的疾病。这一治疗过程可能克服人体对药物越来越强的抗性。莱斯特大学鉴别出了一系列病毒，名为噬菌体(phages)。实验表明，噬菌体可以除去常见的猪类感染病。
