1. Witch hunt 政治迫害


Former President Trump on Tuesday blasted the FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida as a political “Witch Hunt” that represented an assault on patriotic Americans.

The latest action prompted Trump to make accusations of a “witch hunt” in all levels of government, including the bureau itself. However, FBI director Christopher Wray was appointed by Trump, while he was president.


最新的行动促使特朗普指控包括当局本身在内的各级政府的行为是“政治迫害”。然而,联邦调查局局长克里斯托弗雷是由特朗普在任时任命的。

2. Retention 保留、保存、存放


Under the Presidential Records Act, which relates to the retention of government documents by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), official documents and other material or information a president or a vice president may have obtained while in office must go to NARA for preservation.


根据与国家档案和记录管理局(NARA)保留政府文件有关的《总统档案法》,总统或副总统在任职期间可能获得的官方文件和其他材料或信息必须交给NARA保存。

The inclusion of the obstruction statute could be an indication that the justice department is investigating Trump not just over the potentially unlawful retention of records, but also whether he attempted to impede a separate, or wider, criminal inquiry.


搜查令包含阻碍性法规可能表明,司法部门对特朗普的调查不仅仅是针对可能的非法保留记录,还包括他是否试图阻碍单独的、或更广泛的刑事调查。

3. Raid 突袭、突击检查


Former President Donald Trump said Monday that the FBI had “raided” his home at Mar-a-Lago in Florida and even cracked his safe, with a source familiar with the matter telling NBC News that the search was tied to classified information Trump allegedly took with him from the White House to his Palm Beach resort in January 2021.


前总统特朗普周一表示,联邦调查局“突击检查”了他在佛罗里达州海湖庄园的家,甚至打开了他的保险箱,一位熟悉此事的消息人士告诉 NBC 新闻,这次搜查与特朗普据称在2021年1月从白宫带到棕榈滩度假村的机密信息有关。


(英文摘自2022.08.09 NBC news 网站)


Republicans around Trump initially thought the raid could help him politically, but they are now bracing for revelations that could be damaging, a person familiar with the matter said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.


一位不愿透露姓名的知情人士表示,特朗普身边的共和党人士最初认为这次突击检查可以在政治上帮助他,但他们现在已经准备接受可能具有破坏性的揭露。

4. rummage around 翻箱倒柜


Never before has the Justice Department requested, and received, a search warrant to rummage around the home of a former American leader and, if Mr. Trump’s claim is true, to break into a president’s personal safe.


司法部以前从未要求并收到过搜查令,要求搜查一位前美国领导人的家,若特朗普先生的说法属实,他们还打开了总统的私人保险箱。

5. political retribution 政治报复


On Friday, Trump said on his Truth Social platform that the “nuclear weapons issue is a ‘hoax’.” He has said he was cooperating with authorities and called the “raid” inappropriate political retribution. Trump also suggested the FBI may have planted evidence against him, without backing up that assertion. 


周五,特朗普在他的“真实社群”的社交平台上说,“核武器问题是一个‘骗局’”。他表示自己正在与当局合作,并称本次“突袭”是不恰当的“政治报复”。特朗普还暗示联邦调查局可能栽赃陷害他,但没有证据支持这一论断。


(英文摘自2022.08.13 Reuters 网站)


The U.S. Justice Department asked a judge on Thursday to make public the warrant that authorized the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, after Trump, a Republican, portrayed it as political retribution.


在共和党人特朗普将此次搜查描述为“政治报复”之后,美国司法部周四要求一名法官公开授权联邦调查局搜查海湖庄园的搜查令。

Federal investigators maintained a stony silence about exactly what kind of classified documents they were looking for in their dramatic search of former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago golf club and residence on Monday.
