Last Thursday there was an accident. An apparent explosion that killed at least five nuclear scientists at a military test site. But the nation’s government didn’t speak out about it until yesterday when a Russian government spokesman said that accidents happen and that Russia was still quote "far ahead in developing advanced weapons."

上周四俄羅斯發(fā)生了一起事故。一個軍事試驗場發(fā)生爆炸,造成至少5名核科學家死亡。但直到昨天,俄羅斯政府發(fā)言人才公開表示,事故時有發(fā)生,俄羅斯“在研發(fā)先進武器方面仍遙遙領(lǐng)先”。

There’s an international mystery surrounding this incident. For one thing, it happened in a city of northern Russia that’s only accessible by permit and it’s closed off to international visitors.

這一事件在國際上仍是個謎。首先,事故發(fā)生在俄羅斯北部的一個城市,只有獲得許可才能進入,而且此城市不對國際游客開放。

For another, officials in the area said there was a temporary rise in radiation levels after the explosion took place, though the Russian government says radiation levels were normal. Overall, that government has been pretty secretive about this incident in general.

另一方面,該地區(qū)的官員說,爆炸發(fā)生后輻射水平暫時上升,不過俄羅斯政府說輻射水平正常??偟膩碚f,政府對這一事件一直相當保密。

It says a blast did take place last week but that it involved liquid fuel and all this has analysts around the world speculating, though they don’t know for sure, that the explosion involved a nuclear powered cruise missile. Here’s why that’s significant. Last year Russian President Vladimir Putin said his country had developed new2 weapons. Ones that would make U.S. missile defenses ineffective.

報告說,上周確實發(fā)生了爆炸,但爆炸涉及液體燃料,全世界的分析人士都在猜測,雖然他們不能確定,但爆炸可能涉及一枚核動力巡航導彈。這就是為什么很重要。去年,俄羅斯總統(tǒng)弗拉基米爾·普京(Vladimir Putin)表示,俄羅斯已經(jīng)研制出了新型武器。這將使美國的導彈防御系統(tǒng)失效。

He said a new Russian missile would have an unlimited range and suggested it could avoid defense missiles for as long as needed. An accident at a secret military test range could come as an embarrassment to the Russian government and it has a lot of control over the nation’s media so it’s possible that information about this explosion is intentionally being kept quiet, which has some analysts suggesting this is a cover up.

普京表示,一種新的俄羅斯導彈將具有無限的射程,并表示,它可以在需要的時候盡可能長時間地避開防御導彈。事故發(fā)生在一個秘密的軍事測試范圍可能讓俄羅斯政府尷尬。同時有很多控制國家的媒體對此次爆炸可能是故意保持沉默,一些分析師認為這是一個掩蓋。

Back in 1986 what was then the government of the Soviet Union initially tried to cover up an explosion at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. To be clear, whatever happened last Thursday did not appear to have given off a large plume of nuclear radiation like the Chernobyl disaster did but more than 30 years later Chernobyl’s effects are still rippling across Russia.

早在1986年,當時的蘇聯(lián)政府最初試圖掩蓋切爾諾貝利核電站的爆炸。需要明確的是,無論上周四發(fā)生了什么,都沒有像切爾諾貝利災(zāi)難那樣釋放出大量的核輻射,但30多年后,切爾諾貝利的影響仍在俄羅斯各地蔓延。
