An American businessman, lawyer and campaign worker named Paul Manafort has been formally charged with a number of crimes. It`s significant because

Manafort also temporarily worked as campaign chairman for U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump.

美国商人、律师以及活动人士Paul Manafort因一系列罪责被证实指控。事件影响重大，因为他曾在特朗普总统竞选期间担任竞选经理。

Here`s what this is all about. Yesterday, a special counsel for the U.S. Justice Department announced that Manafort and a business partner of his named Rick Gates have been charged with conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder or hide money, making false statements and failing to report that they had foreign bank accounts.

以下是具体新闻。昨日，美国司法部特别顾问宣布，Manafort和其商业伙伴瑞克·盖茨被指控阴谋叛变美国，涉嫌洗黑钱、隐藏资金，制作虚假声明，未上报存有海外银行账户。

Starting in 2006, Manafort had worked on a number of projects in Eastern Europe, which included helping former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. He was ousted in 2014.

自2006年，Manafort 在东欧的一些项目中工作，其中包括帮助乌克兰总统亚努柯维契。2014年，亚努柯维契被赶下台。

But a report came out last year that Manafort had secretly been paid millions of dollars by Yanukovych`s political party, which was friendly to Russia. Manafort denied receiving secret payments. But when the report came out, he and Gates were working on the Trump election campaign.

但是去年，出版了一个报告，亚努柯维契政党曾悄悄支付给Manafort数百万美金，而Yanukovych和俄罗斯一向私交慎密。Manafort否认接受了神迷款项。但是这份报告出炉时，他和盖茨正在忙于特朗普的总统竞选活动。

Manafort was its top official for a couple of months and he resigned days after the accusation was made.

在特朗普竞选期间，Manafort担任竞选经理。被指控数天后，Manafort辞职。

Gates also eventually left the campaign. Both of them pleaded not guilty to the charges announced yesterday. Those charges are not related to the Trump campaign and the White House says all this has nothing to do with the president.

盖茨最终也离开竞选团队。昨日，两人对指控都拒不承认。这些指控与特朗普的竞选活动无关，白宫表示，这一切与总统特朗普毫无关系。
