英国美军基地疑似恐怖袭击阴谋引发安全担忧 报警目击者与特朗普总统的相互矛盾说法，引发了外界对安全部门是否提前知情的质疑。
Possible Terror Plot at U.S. Air Base in U.K. Raises Security Concerns Conflicting accounts from a bystander who called the police and from President Trump have led to questions about whether security services knew about the possible plot in advance.
周日当局挫败了一起似乎针对驻有大量美军的英国军事基地的预谋恐袭后，首相安迪·伯纳姆敦促民众不要猜测幕后主使。
Shortly after authorities on Sunday foiled what appears to have been a planned terror attack targeting a British military base with a large American presence, Prime Minister Andy Burnham urged people not to speculate about who was behind it.
他说：“调查仍在进行中。”他要求英国居民让警方“查明全部真相”。就在英格兰南部庞大的费尔福德皇家空军基地（R.A.F. Fairford）周边到底发生了什么，目前仍不得而知。但这已引发对该基地安全性的严重质疑，以及嫌疑人为何能如此接近基地。
“The investigation remains ongoing,” he said. He asked British residents to let the police “establish the full facts.” Just what happened near the perimeter of the sprawling air base, R.A.F. Fairford, in southern England, remains murky at best. But it has already raised serious questions about the security of the site, and how the suspects were able to get so close to it.
调查人员于周日凌晨以涉嫌恐怖主义罪名逮捕了五名男子，一台排爆机器人周日大部分时间都在谨慎检查三辆白色货车，同时附近85户家庭被疏散。
Investigators arrested five men on suspicion of terrorism in the early hours of Sunday morning, and a bomb disposal robot spent most of Sunday cautiously examining three white vans while 85 families living nearby were evacuated from their homes.
一名当地农民告诉BBC，她在周日清晨看到一大群戴帽子和口罩的男子在基地附近的田地里后报了警。BBC未透露这名农民身份，她说震惊于这种发现和报告嫌疑人的任务竟落在了普通市民身上。
A local farmer told the BBC that she called the police after seeing a large group of hooded and masked men in the fields near the base early on Sunday morning. The farmer, whom the BBC did not identify, said she was shocked that it was left to her as a member of the public to see and report the men.
英国国防大臣韦斯·斯特里廷周一早间在BBC广播采访中赞扬了这名农民，但暗示她仅掌握有限的事发全貌。
Wes Streeting, the British defense secretary, praised the farmer in an interview with BBC radio on Monday morning, while suggesting that she had only a limited picture of what had unfolded.
