Orlando Gunman’s Father: ‘I Do Not Know What Caused This’

奥兰多枪手之父:“我不知道引发此事的原因”

奥兰多

The father of the man identified as the gunman in the Florida mass killings says he is "extremely" upset over the incident.

佛罗里达大规模枪击案认定枪手的父亲称“他对此事‘及其’沮丧”。

The gunman killed 49 people early Sunday at a nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Over 50 others were wounded.

上周日早些时候,该名抢手在佛罗里达州的奥兰多市的一家夜总会枪杀了49人。其余50多人受伤。

Seddique Mateen says he has no idea why his son, Omar Mateen, carried out such an attack “during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan."

萨迪奇·马丁说,他不知道为什么他的儿子,奥马尔·马丁,会在穆斯林斋月节期间做出这样的袭击之举。

"I do not know what caused this,” the father said. “I did not know he had hatred in his heart.”

“我不知道引起此事的原因,”这位父亲说,“我不知道他内心已经有了仇恨”。

Seddique Mateen lives in Florida. He calls himself the revolutionary president of Afghanistan. He has been communicating with the Afghan people through video messages on his Facebook account.

萨迪奇·马丁住在佛罗里达。他称自己为阿富汗的革命的总统。

Mateen has appointed a “cabinet” for his revolutionary government. He also has been releasing “orders” and “policy” statements on his Facebook page.

马丁为他的革命政府指定了一个内阁。他还在他的脸书页面上发布了“指令”和“政策”报告。

Mateen placed a message on Facebook hours before his son attacked the gay nightclub. In it, he spoke to those he called, “the revolutionary people of Afghanistan.” He said they have the ability to arrest the Afghan president, the Afghan national security adviser and Zalmay Khalilzad, the former U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan.

在其子袭击该同性恋夜总会之前的几个小时,马丁在脸书上发了一条消息。在该消息中他对他称之为“阿富汗的革命群众”的那些人说了一些话。她说他们有能力逮捕阿富汗总统、阿富汗国家安全顾问以及美国大使,即被派去阿富汗的美国代表。

In his video messages, Seddique Mateen is critical of the government of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani. He said that his revolutionary government will help Afghans get rid of the war and corruption and will guarantee a "prosperous” Afghanistan.

在他的视频消息中,萨迪奇·马丁批判了阿富汗总统阿什拉夫领导下的政府。他说他的革命政府会帮助阿富汗拜托战争和冲突,会保证阿富汗的繁荣。

In a video message Saturday, Mateen criticized individuals inside the Afghan government who he said are plotting against the Afghan people. He accused the national security adviser, Mohammad Hanif Atmar, of helping the Islamic State group. In addition, he accused former President Hamid Karzai of leading the plans and activities of the “Iran and Pakistan-backed” Taliban.

在周六的一则视频消息中,马丁批评了阿富汗政府中阴谋反对阿富汗人民的个别人。他指责国家安全顾问阿特马尔帮助伊斯兰国家组织。另外,他还指责前总统哈米德·卡尔扎伊引导并执行了“伊朗和巴基斯坦支持下的塔利班”计划。

Mateen traveled to Mexico in early June and sent messages to Afghans from a cruise ship. Before leaving, he said he was on an “official” trip.

马丁在6月份早些时候取了墨西哥,从一个游轮店给阿富汗发了消息。离开前,他说这是一次“官方”之行。

A VOA reporter spoke with an individual who did not want to be identified. The person said Seddique Mateen launched an organization called “Durand Line Jirga” for political and financial purposes.

一位VOA记者与一位不愿意公开身份的人进行了交谈。此人说萨迪奇·马丁出于政治和金融目的发起了一个名为“Durand Line Jirga”的组织。

Mateen organized a gathering of Afghans a few years ago in Northern Virginia. A number of people objected because he “pursued his own political agenda,” one person not wishing to be identified told VOA. “He wanted to establish contacts with U.S. officials and congressmen,” the person said.

一位不愿意公开身份的人告诉VOA,几年前马丁在弗吉尼亚州北部组织了一次阿富汗人的聚会。一些人拒绝参加,因为他“追求自己的政治议题”。此人称“他想与美国官员和议员建立联系”。

Mateen spoke to NBC News about his son’s actions. “This has nothing to do with religion,” he said. “We are saying we are apologizing for the whole incident. We are not aware of any action he is taking.”

马丁对国家广播公司新闻网关于其子的行为发表了言论。“这与宗教无关。”他说,“我们表示对整个事件感到抱歉。我们对他所做的任何行为一无所知。”

He added that his son was “enraged” when he saw two men kissing a few months ago in Miami.

他又说他的儿子因数月前在迈阿密看到两个男人接吻而“被激怒”了。

Afghan President Ghani and Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah have strongly condemned the Orlando nightclub attack. “Targeting civilians is not justifiable under any circumstances whatsoever,” Ghani said.

阿富汗总统加尼及行政长官 阿卜杜拉·阿卜杜拉强烈谴责了奥兰多夜总会袭击。加尼称“无论如何在任何情况下射击民众都是没有道理的。”

Abdullah said, “Terrorism and terrorists, as foes of human being(s), are not representing any faith, religion, ethnicity (or) race.”

阿卜杜拉称“恐怖主义和恐怖分子,作为人类的敌人,不代表任何信仰、宗教、种族(或)人种。”
