CNN News: 一項有始無終的調(diào)查

Which of these U.S. agencies was described in 1908 as a "regular force of special agents"?

在1908年，以下哪個美國機(jī)構(gòu)被描述為“特種部隊的常規(guī)力量”?

FBI, CIA, Marine Corps, or Secret Service?

聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局，中情局，海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊，還是特勤局?

The answer here is the Federal Bureau of Investigation, aka the FBI.

答案是聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局。

It’s been one year since the former director of the FBI, a man named Robert Mueller, was appointed to lead a special investigation concerning the U.S. government. What Mueller and his team are looking into is alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and whether members of Donald Trump’s political campaign inappropriately coordinated with Russia.

美國聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局前局長羅伯特·米勒被任命領(lǐng)導(dǎo)一項有關(guān)美國政府的特別調(diào)查。米勒和他的團(tuán)隊正在調(diào)查的是俄羅斯對2016年美國總統(tǒng)大選的干預(yù)，以及唐納德•特朗普的政治競選團(tuán)隊是否與俄羅斯進(jìn)行勾結(jié)。

President Trump’s legal team says that after a year, Mueller’s special counsel has not given evidence of collusion with Russia or obstruction of justice and that it’s time for the investigation to end. The president himself has called it a witch hunt and says he’s done nothing wrong.

特朗普總統(tǒng)的法律團(tuán)隊表示，在一年之后，米勒的特別顧問沒有給出與俄羅斯勾結(jié)或妨礙司法公正的證據(jù)，也沒有給出調(diào)查結(jié)束的時間。總統(tǒng)本人稱這是一場政治迫害，并表示他沒有做錯任何事。

But 22 other people and companies had been charged in the investigation. Many of those charges related to Russia’s alleged interference in the election, and several people connected to the Trump campaign in some way have pleaded guilty to lying to investigators.

但另有22人和公司被指控參與調(diào)查。這些指控中有許多與俄羅斯涉嫌干預(yù)選舉有關(guān)，還有幾名與特朗普競選有關(guān)的人士承認(rèn)對調(diào)查人員撒謊。

Still, no one outside the special counsel team seems to know what’s next. Complex investigations like this can take years to complete. So, even though this one has been going on for a year, experts can only guess where it will end or how and when it will end.

不過，特別律師團(tuán)隊之外的人似乎都不知道接下來會發(fā)生什么。像這樣的復(fù)雜調(diào)查可能需要數(shù)年時間才能完成。所以，盡管這一項已經(jīng)持續(xù)了一年，專家們只能猜測它將在哪里結(jié)束，怎樣結(jié)束，何時結(jié)束。
