BBC英语听力2012年05月合辑(文本+翻译):BBC0509A United Nations-backed court has found the former President of Liberia, Charles Taylor, guilty of aiding and abetting crimes against humanity, murder, rape and terrorism. The court in The Hague said Mr Taylor was criminally responsible for supporting the Revolutionary United Front rebels in neighbouring Sierra Leone during the civil war in the 1990s. Hell be sentenced next month. Mr Taylors lawyer described the trial as politically motivated. From The Hague, Peter Biles.联合国法庭认定利比里亚前总统查尔斯泰勒涉嫌帮助并教唆反人类、谋杀和恐怖主义罪行。海牙法庭称,20世纪内战期间,泰勒曾非法支持邻国塞拉利昂的革命联合阵线叛军。他将于下月被判刑,泰勒的律师称审判有政治动机。Peter Biles在海牙报道。The prosecution had wanted to show that Mr Taylor was the key figure in arming and supporting the rebels in Sierra Leone in the late 1990s. The trial chamber said Charles Taylors influence fell short of command responsibility, but on all 11 charges he was found criminally responsible for aiding and abetting the rebel forces and planning crimes. The judges also said there had been a continuous supply of diamonds from Sierra Leone provided to Mr Taylor in exchange for weapons.原告曾想证明泰勒是支持20世纪晚期塞拉利昂叛军并提供武器的主要人物,审判分庭称泰勒的影响力不足以使之承担责任,但根据针对他的11项有罪指控,泰勒涉嫌帮助并教唆叛军并计划罪行。法官称塞拉利昂一直不断向泰勒提供钻石,作为对提供武器的回报。Reacting to the verdicts, the chief prosecutor Brenda Hollis called it a historic day for the people of Sierra Leone. Alpha Sesay is a human rights lawyer there.主检察官Brenda Hollis对判决作出评价,称这对塞拉利昂人民来说是历史性的一天。Alpha Sesay是出庭的一名人权律师。In the eyes of very many people in Sierra Leone, Mr Taylor has always been guilty. Theres excitement. I mean theres confusion, of course, about the findings of the trial chamber: what does it mean for him to be found guilty of aiding and abetting and not command responsibility was? In the eyes of some other people, a guilty verdict is a guilty verdict, and so a lot of people are really excited in Sierra Leone.“在许多塞拉利昂人民眼中,泰勒一直都是有罪的,这很令人激动,我是说审判分庭的发现令人困惑:这样的人已被证明有勾结和教唆罪,那么不承担责任又是什么意思?在其他人眼中,有罪判决就是有罪判决,所以塞拉利昂很多人实在太激动了。”The United States said the judgment delivered a strong message to all perpetrators of atrocities that they would be held accountable.美国称判决向所有施暴者传达了一个很强烈的信号,那就是罪人必然罪有应得。Coordinated bomb attacks on newspaper offices in two Nigerian cities have killed at least seven people.
