美国有线新闻 CNN 一项有始无终的调查(在线收听) |
Which of these U.S. agencies was described in 1908 as a "regular force of special agents"? 在1908年,以下哪个美国机构被描述为“特种部队的常规力量”? FBI, CIA, Marine Corps, or Secret Service? 联邦调查局,中情局,海军陆战队,还是特勤局? The answer here is the Federal Bureau of Investigation, aka the FBI. 答案是联邦调查局。 It’s been one year since the former director of the FBI, a man named Robert Mueller, was appointed to lead a special investigation concerning the U.S. government. What Mueller and his team are looking into is alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and whether members of Donald Trump’s political campaign inappropriately coordinated with Russia. 美国联邦调查局前局长罗伯特·米勒被任命领导一项有关美国政府的特别调查。米勒和他的团队正在调查的是俄罗斯对2016年美国总统大选的干预,以及唐纳德?特朗普的政治竞选团队是否与俄罗斯进行勾结。 President Trump’s legal team says that after a year, Mueller’s special counsel has not given evidence of collusion with Russia or obstruction of justice and that it’s time for the investigation to end. The president himself has called it a witch hunt and says he’s done nothing wrong. 特朗普总统的法律团队表示,在一年之后,米勒的特别顾问没有给出与俄罗斯勾结或妨碍司法公正的证据,也没有给出调查结束的时间。总统本人称这是一场政治迫害,并表示他没有做错任何事。 But 22 other people and companies had been charged in the investigation. Many of those charges related to Russia’s alleged interference in the election, and several people connected to the Trump campaign in some way have pleaded guilty to lying to investigators. 但另有22人和公司被指控参与调查。这些指控中有许多与俄罗斯涉嫌干预选举有关,还有几名与特朗普竞选有关的人士承认对调查人员撒谎。 Still, no one outside the special counsel team seems to know what’s next. Complex investigations like this can take years to complete. So, even though this one has been going on for a year, experts can only guess where it will end or how and when it will end. 不过,特别律师团队之外的人似乎都不知道接下来会发生什么。像这样的复杂调查可能需要数年时间才能完成。所以,尽管这一项已经持续了一年,专家们只能猜测它将在哪里结束,怎样结束,何时结束。 |
