　　Russia’s leaders are promising¹ to crack down on terrorists, after a deadly bomb attack appeared to target foreigners Monday in a Moscow airport.
星期一俄罗斯的一个机场发生以外国人为目标的致命爆炸袭击之后，俄罗斯领导人承诺要镇压恐怖主义分子。
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin vowed² that "retribution is inevitable³" for the suicide bombing that killed 35 people at Russia's busiest airport.
俄罗斯总理普京誓言说，对这起自杀式爆炸袭击的反击是必然的，这次袭击在俄罗斯最繁忙的机场造成35人丧生。
Prime Minister Putin’s trademark⁴ has long been a tough stance on terrorism. But this time, President Dmitry Medvedev joined the chorus, ordering internal security chiefs to "expose and bring the bandits who committed this crime to justice."
普京总理一直对恐怖主义采取强硬立场。但是这次，俄罗斯总统梅德韦杰夫也像普京一样强硬，命令国内安全部长们“公开这次犯罪行为的相关人员，并把他们绳之以法。”
Mr. Medvedev, often criticized as mild-mannered, also demanded that "the nests of these bandits, however deep they have dug in, must be liquidated⁵."
经常以温和态度发表批评言论的梅德韦杰夫还要求“清剿这些袭击者的藏匿点，无论他们藏在哪里”。
Although no group has claimed credit for the bombing, the attack bore the hallmarks of radical⁶ Islamic groups from the Russian’s southernmost region, the Northern Caucasus.
虽然没有人声称对这次爆炸负责，但是从这次袭击的特点来看，像是俄罗斯最南端的北高加索地区激进的伊斯兰组织所为。
The Kremlin’s tough talk came as Russians realized the international dimensions of a bombing that took a total of 200 dead and wounded in the international arrivals section of their most modern airport. For the first time in memory, terrorists had targeted foreigners.
在克里姆林宫发表强硬言论之际，俄罗斯人认识到，这次在他们的最现代化机场的国际旅客到达区发起的国际层面的爆炸袭击总共造成200人死伤。这是有始以来，恐怖主义分子首次以外国人作为袭击目标。
Filled with shrapnel, the bomb killed four Europeans and three Central Asians. Several Europeans were also among the 168 wounded.

帕维尔.巴夫是挪威奥斯陆国际和平研究所研究高加索地区的反叛分子行动的专家。
"It has also guaranteed international resonance," said Baev. "International arrivals: every Muscovite with a bit of an international profile has been to that area. A lot of expats who are coming back and forth⁷. Yes, each of them can reflect on that moment."
巴夫说：“这必然会引起国际上的共鸣。国际旅客到达区是每一个有过出国经历的莫斯科人都去过的地方。还有很多的外国人在那里往返。是的，他们每个人都可以想象出那个瞬间。”
The attack occurred just before President Medvedev was to fly to Davos, Switzerland to give the keynote speech at the World Economic Forum⁸. The bombing also takes place as Russia prepares to open its doors to a series of international sporting events, most notably⁹ the 2014 Winter Olympics.
这次袭击发生之际，梅德韦杰夫总统正准备动身前往瑞士达沃斯，在世界经济论坛发表一个主题演讲。与此同时，俄罗斯也在准备为一系列国际体育赛事敞开大门，其中最引人注目的是2014年的冬季奥运会。
Speaking to the security chief about the sports events, Russia’s president warned, "Those who would like to attend are not the only ones preparing for them. The criminals, the bandits, the terrorist rabble¹⁰ - they are preparing for them too."
在对安全官员谈到这些体育活动时，俄罗斯总统警告说，不仅仅只是那些要参加这些体育赛事的人在做准备，那些罪犯、强盗、恐怖分子等暴徒也正在作准备。
Andrey Soldatov studies radical movements among Russia’s 20 million Muslims. He said radicals¹¹ may be seeking a new way to pressure the Kremlin.

Baev said during the last decade the Kremlin’s counter-terror strategy has eliminated large groups of rebels. Now the insurgents¹⁴ operate in small cells that specialize in suicide bombings.
巴夫说，在过去的十年中，克里姆林宫的反恐战略消除了大批反叛分子。现在，激进分子采取小规模运作，专门发起自杀式爆炸袭击。
"Suddenly the strategy which was employed so successfully in itself becomes a source of the problem," added Baev. "Because the two main elements of that strategy were: channeling more federal funds and being more decisive in repressing. And repression¹⁵ creates new grievances¹⁶ and channeling of federal funds creates a lot of corruption¹⁷ and these two sort of grievances now come together and drive the new escalation¹⁸."
巴夫说：“突然之间，这个实施得很成功的战略成为问题的根源。因为这个战略主要包括两方面，一个是输送更多的的联邦资金，一个是在镇压方面更为果断。而镇压行动带来了新的怨恨情绪，而输送联邦资金造成了许多腐败，这两方面现在集合起来造成局势的新的升级。”
With funerals beginning Wednesday, Moscow authorities have declared it a day of mourning.
为爆炸死难者举行的葬礼将在星期三开始，莫斯科当局已经宣布星期三为哀悼日。
