Investigators are waiting to question the surviving suspect in the Boston marathon bombings, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, amid intensifying debate in the US about how the 19-year-old should be tried once the police lay charges.
调查人员正等着讯问波士顿马拉松比赛爆炸案的幸存嫌犯焦哈尔•察尔纳耶夫(Dzhokhar Tsarnaev)。目前美国国内对于警方提出控罪后如何审判这名19岁的犯罪嫌疑人展开日趋激烈的辩论。
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is also coming under pressure after its admission that it had interviewed his now deceased elder brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, in 2011, after Russia raised concern that he might have terror links.
同时美国联邦调查局(FBI)也受到压力，因为该局承认，2011年曾约谈这名嫌犯的哥哥、已在交火中被警方击毙的塔梅尔兰•察尔纳耶夫(Tamerlan Tsarnaev)，原因是俄罗斯方面通报称，他可能与恐怖组织有联系。
Mr Tsarnaev remained in a serious condition yesterday at Boston’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
昨天，正在波士顿“贝斯以色列迪康尼斯医疗中心”(Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center)接受救治的察尔纳耶夫伤势依然严重。
While Massachusetts does not have the death penalty, he could face execution if found guilty of federal terrorism charges for the April 15 bombings that killed three people and maimed many others. “I hope that the US attorney takes him on the federal side and throws the book at him,” Thomas Menino, Boston mayor, told ABC’s This Week program.
虽然马萨诸塞州没有死刑，但如果他因在4月15日制造爆炸案、杀害3人并致多人伤残，由此犯下恐怖主义行为的联邦罪行，他可能面临处决。波士顿市长托马斯•梅尼诺(Thomas Menino)向美国广播公司(ABC)《本周》(This Week)节目表示：“我希望美国检察官在联邦法院起诉他，并对其严正审判。”
The Obama administration has already said that it will use the “public safety” provision to allow Mr Tsarnaev to be questioned initially without a lawyer present and without his rights being read to him. A suspect’s so-called Miranda rights can be suspended when there is an imminent threat to public safety, for example to find out where a bomb has been placed.
奥巴马政府已表示，将依据“公共安全”规定，在律师不在场和不向察尔纳耶夫宣读其权利的情况下，对其进行初步讯问。当存在对公共安全的紧迫威胁时(比如要找出哪里藏有炸弹时)，嫌疑人的所谓米兰达权利(Miranda rights)可被暂时搁置。
Anthony Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, said the public safety exception “should be read narrowly”.
美国公民自由联盟(American Civil Liberties Union)执行理事安东尼•罗梅罗(Anthony Romero)表示，出于公共安全而例外处理的规定“应得到狭义地解读”。
“It applies only when there is a continued threat to public safety and is not open-ended. Every criminal defendant has a right to be brought before a judge and to have access to counsel,” he said.
他表示：“只有在公共安全面临持续威胁时，这项规定才适用，而且它不是无止境的。每一位刑事被告都有权由法官审判，并有权得到律师的帮助。”
Two senior Republican senators, Lindsey Graham and John McCain, have already called for Mr Tsarnaev to be treated even more harshly and to be tried as an enemy combatant by a military tribunal.
两位资深共和党参议员林塞•格雷厄姆(Lindsey Graham)和约翰•麦凯恩(John McCain)呼吁以更严厉的方式对待察尔纳耶夫，由军事法庭将其作为敌方战斗人员进行审判。
The FBI said it had found no “terrorism activity, domestic or foreign” after it interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev and family members in 2011.
FBI表示，2011年约谈塔梅尔兰•察尔纳耶夫及其家人后，未发现“国内或国外的恐怖主义活动”迹象。
