And today we are going to start about news about WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

今天我们要开始了解有关维基解密创始人朱利安·阿桑奇的新闻。

The Australian citizen rocketed into public notoriety as a political refugee fighting to escape extradition back to America.

这位澳大利亚公民作为政治难民而声名狼藉,为逃避被引渡回美国而奋斗。

Assange faces charges of espionage after publishingified U.S. military materials starting in 2010.

阿桑奇自 2010 年开始发布美国机密军事材料后面临间谍罪指控。

The WikiLeaks founder previously described his findings to CNN as, quote, "compelling evidence of war crimes", unquote, committed by a U.S.-led coalition in Iraqi government forces.

这位维基解密创始人此前曾向美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)描述他的调查结果,引号,这是“令人信服的战争罪证据” ,后引号,是由美国领导的联军在伊拉克政府军犯下的。

But U.S. officials say Assange put lives at risk by publishing those secret military documents.

但美国官员表示,阿桑奇公布这些秘密军事文件将生命置于危险之中。

Free speech advocates, though, argue extraditing Assange could cause a chilling effect in the press.

不过,言论自由倡导者认为,引渡阿桑奇可能会对媒体造成寒蝉效应。

The controversial figure has remained in London's Belmarsh prison for five years and was confined as a political refugee in the Ecuadorian embassy in the British capital for seven years before that.

这位备受争议的人物已在伦敦贝尔马什监狱关押了五年,在此之前,他曾作为政治难民被关押在英国首都厄瓜多尔大使馆七年。

U.K. courts say they could agree to turn Assange over to the U.S. if certain protections and assurances are put into place.

So as you listen and discuss amongst each other, remember to be respectful and focus on the facts.

因此,当你们互相倾听和讨论时,请记住要尊重并关注事实。

NADA BASHIR, CNN REPORTER: Now the high court in London on Tuesday ruled that the WikiLeaks founder cannot be immediately extradited to the United States.

CNN 记者纳达·巴希尔:伦敦高等法院周二裁定,不能立即将这位维基解密创始人引渡到美国。

Instead, American authorities must first offer assurances about his treatment including over his First Amendment rights and protection from the death penalty.

相反,美国当局必须首先对他的待遇提供保证,包括他的第一修正案权利和免于死刑的保护。

Now, they've been given three weeks to do so.

现在,他们有三周的时间来做这件事。

If the U.S. fails to give these assurances, Assange would be allowed to appeal his extradition at a further hearing in May.

如果美国未能做出这些保证,阿桑奇将被允许在五月举行的进一步听证会上对引渡提出上诉。

If however, the U.S. does provide the requested assurances, there will be a further hearing to decide if those assurances are satisfactory and to make a final decision on leave to appeal.

然而,如果美国确实提供了所要求的保证,将举行进一步的听证会, 以决定这些保证是否令人满意, 并就是否允许上诉做出最终决定。

Now, in the event that the appeal is denied, Assange's legal team has also vowed to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights which could also halt his removal to the U.S. This is a battle which Assange has fought for the last five years from London's Belmarsh prison.

现在,如果上诉被驳回,阿桑奇的法律团队也发誓要向欧洲人权法院提出上诉, 这也可能会阻止阿桑奇被驱逐到美国。这是阿桑奇在伦敦的过去五年里一直在进行的一场斗争。 贝尔马什监狱。

And of course, for seven years before that, while being holed up as a political refugee at the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

当然, 在那之前的七年里,他作为政治难民躲在厄瓜多尔驻伦敦大使馆。

He is of course, being pursued by the U.S. authorities for what they say is the endangerment of lives by publishing confidential military records supplied by former army intelligence analyst, Chelsea Manning in 2010 and 2011.

当然,他正受到美国当局的追捕,他们称他因公布前陆军情报分析员切尔西·曼宁 (Chelsea Manning) 在 2010 年和 2011 年提供的机密军事记录而危及生命。

Speaking outside the high court, Assange's wife, Stella described her husband as a political prisoner and also called on the Biden administration to drop the case entirely.

阿桑奇的妻子斯特拉在高等法院外发表讲话,称她的丈夫是一名政治犯,并呼吁拜登政府完全放弃此案。
