Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok was brought home late Tuesday, his office said, after a day of intense international pressure following his removal in a military coup¹.

苏丹总理阿卜杜拉·哈姆多克办公室称，总理已于周二晚间回到家中。他在军事政变中被赶下台，此前一天受到来自国际社会的巨大压力。

His office adds Hamdok is, quote, "under close surveillance" while other ministers and civilian² leaders remain under arrest after the army dissolved Sudan's institutions on Monday.

他的办公室补充说，哈姆多克目前处于“严密监视”下，而其他部长和文职领导人在周一军队解散苏丹过渡政府后仍被扣押。

Earlier in the day, the U.S. said it would suspend aid over the coup and the EU had threatened to do the same.

当天早些时候，美国表示由于政变将切断对苏丹的援助，欧盟也威胁要这么做。

Meanwhile, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres demanded Hamdok, quote, "be released immediately" ahead of an emergency Security Council meeting.

与此同时，联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯要求在安理会紧急会议之前“立即释放”哈姆多克。

The coup comes just over two years into a delicate power-sharing arrangement between the military and civilians³ after the army's ousting⁴ during enormous street protests in April, 2019 of longtime autocrat⁵ Omar al-Bashir.

2019年4月，长期独裁的奥马尔·巴希尔遭到大规模街头抗议，军队被赶下台。两年多后，军方和文官之间达成了一种微妙的权力共享协定。

Angry citizens stood their ground on barricaded⁶ streets where tires burned chanting, quote, "No to military rule," the day after four people were shot dead by security forces, according to a doctors group.

据一个医生组织称，在安全部队开枪打死了四个人的第二天，愤怒的公民们站在被路障封锁的街道上，轮胎燃烧着，高喊着“对军事统治说不”。

A medical panel of U.S. government advisers⁷ endorsed⁸ the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine⁹ for 5 to 11-year-olds Tuesday, paving the way for younger children to get their shots within weeks.

周二，一个由美国政府顾问组成的医疗小组批准了辉瑞公司为5至11岁儿童提供的新冠疫苗，为年龄较小的儿童在几周内接种疫苗铺平了道路。

The independent experts concluded the known benefits outweigh¹⁰ the known risks.

独立专家得出的结论是，已知的好处大于已知的风险。

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration which convened¹¹ the meeting is expected to give its formal green light soon, making 28 million young Americans eligible¹² for the shot by mid-November.

美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)召集了这次会议，预计很快就会正式批准，到11月中旬，将有2800万美国儿童有资格注射疫苗。
