US, Britain Ban Laptops on Flights from Some Nations

英美兩國禁止部分國家乘客攜帶筆記本等電子設備登機

The United States and Great Britain, citing unspecified threats, have banned larger electronic devices on direct flights from several nations in the Middle East and North Africa.

a美國和英國以不明威脅為由，在來自中東和北非幾個國家的直達航班上禁止攜帶大型電子設備。

The new rules prevent passengers from carrying on personal electronic devices larger than a mobile phone. This includes laptops, tablets, electronic games, cameras and DVD players. The barred items must be placed in checked baggage.

這項新規(guī)定禁止乘客攜帶體積大于移動電話的個人電子設備，包括筆記本電腦、平板電腦、相機和DVD播放機。禁止物品必須放在托運行李內。

The ban applies to direct flights to the United States from 10 airports in mainly Muslim nations. The new rules will affect about 50 flights a day to America of foreign air carriers.

這項禁令適用于人口主要為穆斯林國家的十家機場直達美國的航班。新禁令將影響到外國航空公司每天大約50趟飛往美國的航班。

The list includes international airports in Jordan, Kuwait, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

被禁名單中包括約旦、科威特、埃及、土耳其、沙特、摩洛哥、卡塔爾和阿聯酋的國際機場。

An announcement by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the ban resulted from unspecified "evaluated intelligence." The intelligence showed that terrorist groups are continuing to target major world airlines, according to a department statement.

美國國土安全部的一項公告稱，這項禁令是由非特定的“經過評估的情報”造成的。根據該部門的聲明，該情報顯示恐怖集團繼續(xù)以主要的世界航空公司為目標。

Terrorists "are aggressively pursuing innovative methods to undertake their attacks," it added. One possible method for attackers is to "smuggle explosive devices in various consumer items," the statement said.

聲明補充說，“恐怖分子還積極追求創(chuàng)新的辦法來進行攻擊。”聲明稱，“攻擊者可能會在各種消費品中偷帶爆炸裝置。”

Britain also announced limits on carry-on electronic devices on direct flights from six countries.

英國也宣布限制來自六個國家直達航班的乘客攜帶隨身電子設備。

A spokesman for Prime Minister Theresa May said the rules would be in effect at airports in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia. Passengers carrying electronics bigger than a mobile phone will have to place the devices in checked baggage.

英國首相特雷莎·梅的發(fā)言人表示，這項規(guī)則將會在土耳其、黎巴嫩、約旦、埃及、突尼斯和沙特的機場生效。乘客攜帶的體積大于移動電話的電子設備必須放置在托運行李中。

"We think these steps are necessary and proportionate to allow passengers to travel safely," the British spokesman said.

英國發(fā)言人表示：“我們認為這些步驟是必要和適當的，為的是保障乘客安全。”

There was no change in policy covering electronic devices carried on flights departing from or operating within the United States.

針對離開美國和美國境內運營航班的電子設備相關政策沒有變化。

The DHS increased some security measures for international passengers coming to the U.S. in 2014. The stronger screening methods included a requirement for passengers to power up their phones and other electronic devices.

國土安全部2014年提高了針對來美國際乘客的一些安全措施，更嚴格的檢查方法包括要求乘客打開手機等電子設備的電源。

DHS Secretary John Kelly has said U.S. officials are considering additional measures intended to prevent dangerous people from entering America.

國土安全部秘書長約翰·凱麗表示，美國官員正考慮采取更多措施意圖防止危險人士進入美國。

One proposal is for border agents to ask visitors arriving from certain countries to unlock phones and provide social media account information and passwords.

其中一項提議是讓邊檢人員要求來自特定國家的游客解鎖手機，并提供社交媒體賬戶信息和密碼。
