美国有线新闻 CNN 巴塞罗那恐怖袭击 当地火车站全部关闭

We`re starting today`s show with an explanation of a terrorist¹ attack that took place yesterday in northeastern Spain. The mayor of the Spanish city of Barcelona scheduled a minute of silence to take place Friday morning. All public events were cancelled and train stations were closed there yesterday after a terrorist attack killed at least 13 people and injured more than 100 others.

今天的首要新闻为您讲述昨天发生在西班牙东北部的恐怖袭击事件。西班牙巴塞罗那市长定于周五上午举行一分钟默哀仪式。昨天，在恐怖袭击造成至少13人死亡，100多人受伤后，该地区所有的公共活动均被取消，火车站也全部关闭。

It started when a van was driven into Las Ramblas yesterday afternoon. This is a very popular tourist spot in Barcelona, filled with pedestrians² there to see the sights, shop and stop to eat.

昨天下午，一辆面包车开到兰布拉大道开启了恐怖袭击事件。这是巴塞罗那一个非常受欢迎的旅游景点，这里到处都是旅游观光、购物和歇脚吃饭的人。

A witness who saw the van speeding through the crowd said there was no doubt it was intentional³ and police say they`ve arrested two suspects.

一名看到货车在人群中超速行驶的目击者称，此举毫无疑问是故意的。警方表示，他们已逮捕了两名嫌疑犯。

A media branch of the ISIS terrorist group, ISIS standing⁴ for Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, said the attackers were affiliated⁵ with the group. But ISIS itself hadn`t formally claimed responsibility as of last night.

伊拉克和叙利亚境内的伊斯兰国恐怖组织ISIS的一个媒体分支宣称袭击者隶属于该组织。但截至昨晚ISIS本身并没有正式宣称对此事负责。

This incident is similar to several recent terrorist attacks in Europe. Vehicles have been used to target civilians⁶ in Berlin, Germany, London, U.K., and Nice, France. Leaders from Europe and around the world are offering their support to Spain.

此次事件与最近发生在欧洲的几起恐怖袭击事件类似。在德国柏林、英国伦敦和法国尼斯等地，袭击者利用车辆对平民进行袭击。欧洲和世界各地的领导人纷纷向西班牙提供支援。
