CNN News: 備忘錄的分歧

Exactly three weeks ago, we reported on a memo released by Republicans on the Intelligence Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives. The memo was related to how in 2016, U.S. government investigators got court approval to spy on a former advisor to Donald Trump`s presidential campaign. Republicans said the memo showed that U.S. investigators abused their power to do that. Democrats said the memo was misleading and that the whole truth wasn`t being told.

就在三周前，我們報道了共和黨人士在美國眾議院情報委員會發(fā)布的一份備忘錄。這份備忘錄與2016年的情況有關(guān)，美國政府調(diào)查人員獲得法庭批準(zhǔn)，對唐納德•特朗普的前總統(tǒng)競選顧問進(jìn)行暗中監(jiān)聽。共和黨人士表示，備忘錄顯示，美國調(diào)查人員濫用權(quán)力。民主黨，表示這份備忘錄具有誤導(dǎo)性，同時事情的全部真相沒有被告知。

So, Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee produced their own memo. At first, President Donald Trump refused to declassify or allow it to be published, saying it needed to be heavily redacted first. After some changes were made, the Democratic memo was released over the weekend.

因此，眾議院情報委員會的民主黨人制作了他們自己的備忘錄。起初，特朗普拒絕解密或允許其發(fā)表，稱需要首先對其進(jìn)行大量修訂。在做出一些改變之后，民主黨的備忘錄在周末發(fā)布。

So, how is it different?

區(qū)別在哪里呢?

The Republican memo said investigators used unproven information to get the court`s approval to spy. The Democratic memo says the unproven info was part of what investigators presented to the court, but that they gave other credible information as well. The Republican memo says government investigators did not tell the court that the info they presented came from a source who is biased against Donald Trump and that it was partly paid for by Hillary Clinton`s political campaign.

共和黨的備忘錄稱，調(diào)查人員使用未經(jīng)證實(shí)的信息來獲得法庭的批準(zhǔn)。民主黨的備忘錄表示，未經(jīng)證實(shí)的信息是調(diào)查人員向法院提交的內(nèi)容的一部分，但他們也提供了其他可信的信息。共和黨的備忘錄稱，政府調(diào)查人員沒有告訴法庭，他們提交的信息來自對唐納德•特朗普有偏見的消息來源，而且這部分資金是由希拉里•克林頓的政治競選活動支付的。

The Democratic memo says investigators did tell the court that the source was biased, and that he was collecting information for someone who wanted to discredit Trump`s campaign. Republicans generally stand by their party`s memo. Democrats generally stand by their party`s memo. So, how people are responding depends largely on where they side politically.

民主黨的備忘錄表示，調(diào)查人員確實(shí)告訴法庭，這個消息來源有偏見，民主黨人士正在搜集想詆毀特朗普競選的人的信息。大體而言,共和黨人士支持自己的備忘錄。而民主黨人通常支持民主黨的備忘錄。所以，人們的反應(yīng)方式很大程度上取決于他們所在政治的立場。
