An unexpected announcement yesterday afternoon from Washington, D.C. U.S. President Donald Trump fired James Comey, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

昨天下午,白宮發(fā)布一份意外的公告,美國(guó)總統(tǒng)特朗普解雇了FBI局長(zhǎng),詹姆斯`科米.

It`s very unusual for a president to fire the head of the FBI, though it has happened before.

盡管類似的事件已有發(fā)生,但是總統(tǒng)解雇FBI局長(zhǎng)仍非常罕見(jiàn).

In a letter to the FBI chief, President Trump wrote: While I greatly appreciate you informing me on three separate occasions that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you were not able to lead the bureau.

在給聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局局長(zhǎng)寫(xiě)的信中,特朗普寫(xiě)到:我非常感謝在三次獨(dú)立調(diào)查中,你告知我,我不應(yīng)該接受調(diào)查.但是我仍然遵從司法局的決斷,你無(wú)法領(lǐng)導(dǎo)FBI.

One thing that is under investigation, formerly lead by Director Comey, was whether members of the Trump campaign coordinated with alleged Russian efforts to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. President Trump has called that story phony, but critics say it was inappropriate for the president to fire Comey while that investigation is going on.

還有一件事情正在調(diào)查中,此事之前有局長(zhǎng)科米負(fù)責(zé),那就是特朗普競(jìng)選團(tuán)隊(duì)是否涉嫌和俄羅斯勾結(jié)干涉2016年美國(guó)大選.特朗普表示,這件事情是無(wú)中生有,但是批評(píng)人事表示, 此事正在調(diào)查時(shí),開(kāi)除科米,此舉不妥.

Another reason why Comey was a controversial figure in the government, Democrats and Republicans have criticized how he handled controversies related to Hillary Clinton`s email use from when she was secretary of state. Critics say those controversies influenced last year`s election when she was the Democratic presidential nominee.

而另外一個(gè)原因就是科米在特朗普政府中是一個(gè)備受爭(zhēng)議的人物.民主黨和共和黨批判其對(duì)希拉里擔(dān)任國(guó)務(wù)卿時(shí)使用私人郵箱發(fā)送政府郵件的處理方式.批判人士表示,這些爭(zhēng)議影響了希拉里作為民主黨候選人競(jìng)選美國(guó)總統(tǒng).

This story was developing last night. We`ll be following up on it as more news comes out.

事件仍在進(jìn)展中.后續(xù)我們將會(huì)持續(xù)關(guān)注和報(bào)道.
