CNN News: 俄羅斯是否干涉美國大選

We start today with a look at an international story concerning the U.S. and Russia. Late last week, an American federal grand jury formally charged 13 Russian citizens and three Russian companies with allegedly interfering with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The Russians are accused of conspiracy to defraud the United States. Other charges for some of the dependents included conspiracy to commit bank fraud and identity theft.

今天我們從一個關(guān)于美國和俄羅斯的國際新聞開始。上周晚些時候，美國聯(lián)邦大陪審團正式指控13名俄羅斯公民和三家俄羅斯公司涉嫌干擾2016年美國總統(tǒng)大選。俄羅斯人被控陰謀欺騙美國。其他一些相關(guān)人員被指控包括共謀銀行詐騙和身份盜竊。

Here`s how this alleged happen. The U.S. Justice Department says as early as 2014, a Russian organization named the Internet Research Agency started trying to interfere with the U.S. political system and 2016 elections. The Russians are accused of posing as Americans, creating false American identities, operating social media pages to attract American audiences and posting critical information about American presidential candidates. The U.S. government says employees for the Internet Research Agency were told to, quote, use any opportunity to criticize Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and the rest except for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

這就是事件的緣由。美國司法部說，早在2014年，一個名為互聯(lián)網(wǎng)研究機構(gòu)的俄羅斯組織就開始試圖干涉美國的政治體制和2016年的選舉。俄羅斯人被指控假扮美國人，制造虛假的美國身份，操作社交媒體頁面以吸引美國觀眾，并發(fā)布有關(guān)美國總統(tǒng)候選人的關(guān)鍵信息。美國政府表示，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)研究機構(gòu)的雇員被告知，他們將利用任何機會批評民主黨總統(tǒng)候選人希拉里。

The U.S. government says that no Americans knowingly participated in the illegal activity. And President Donald Trump says the Russian campaign started before he announced his presidential candidacy and that the results of the election were not impacted. Other American politicians, including some Republicans and Democrats in Congress said it`s clear Russia interfered with the election and that future U.S. elections would have to be better protected.

美國政府表示，沒有美國人故意參與非法活動。唐納德·特朗普總統(tǒng)表示，俄羅斯的競選活動在他宣布競選總統(tǒng)之前就開始了，選舉結(jié)果沒有受到影響。包括一些共和黨和民主黨在內(nèi)的其他美國政客說，很明顯，俄羅斯干預(yù)了選舉，未來的美國選舉必須得到更好的保護。

Russia`s foreign ministry described the charges as, quote, absurd. It`s also said that not a single fact has come out of the U.S. investigation into alleged Russian interference. But that investigation continues.

俄羅斯外交部稱這些指控是荒謬的。也有人說，美國對所謂俄羅斯干涉的調(diào)查沒有一個事實。但是,調(diào)查仍在繼續(xù)。
