CNN News: 特朗普解雇FBI局长

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,白宫发布一份意外的公告,美国总统特朗普解雇了FBI局长,詹姆斯`科米.

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

尽管类似的事件已有发生,但是总统解雇FBI局长仍非常罕见.

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.

在给联邦调查局局长写的信中,特朗普写到:我非常感谢在三次独立调查中,你告知我,我不应该接受调查.但是我仍然遵从司法局的决断,你无法领导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.

还有一件事情正在调查中,此事之前有局长科米负责,那就是特朗普竞选团队是否涉嫌和俄罗斯勾结干涉2016年美国大选.特朗普表示,这件事情是无中生有,但是批评人事表示, 此事正在调查时,开除科米,此举不妥.

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.

而另外一个原因就是科米在特朗普政府中是一个备受争议的人物.民主党和共和党批判其对希拉里担任国务卿时使用私人邮箱发送政府邮件的处理方式.批判人士表示,这些争议影响了希拉里作为民主党候选人竞选美国总统.

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

事件仍在进展中.后续我们将会持续关注和报道.
