接待美军轰炸机的英国宁静角落因路障和疏散而惊醒：在当局称正在调查针对该基地的可能恐怖袭击阴谋后，位于拉法尔费尔福德基地附近的两个村庄和一个小镇被推上了风口浪尖。
Quiet Corner of U.K. That Hosts U.S. Bombers Wakes to Roadblocks and Evacuations Two villages and a town near R.A.F. Fairford were thrust into the spotlight after the authorities said they were investigating a possible terrorist plot targeting the base.
周一，英国各地报纸的头版都刊登了同一张颗粒感照片，照片显示在英格兰韦尔福德村，五名面部被模糊处理的男子被警方扣留，警方正在调查一起可能的恐怖袭击阴谋。
The front pages of newspapers across Britain were plastered on Monday with the same grainy photograph, one showing five men, their faces blurred, being detained by police in the village of Whelford, England, who were investigating a possible terrorist plot.
到周一，武装警官正在监控通往这座庞大军事基地的乡村道路上的路障，该基地自春季以来一直用于美国与伊朗战争相关的行动。
By Monday, armed officers were monitoring roadblocks on the country roads leading to the sprawling military base that has been used since spring for U.S. operations related to the war in Iran.
警方逮捕这些男子一天多后，韦尔福德村仍被封锁，此前数十人已从家中撤离。这些男子于周一下午获保释，但警方表示调查仍在继续。
More than a day after the police arrested the men, Whelford remained cordoned off after dozens of people had been evacuated from their homes. The men were released on bail on Monday afternoon, but the police said the investigation was continuing.
该村是紧邻拉法尔费尔福德基地的三个居民点之一，该基地位于英格兰南部一个安静的角落。
The village is one of three localities that butt up against R.A.F. Fairford, a British base in a quiet corner of southern England.
它们被推上了国际舞台，围绕这些男子在做什么以及受谁指使的问题议论纷纷。韦尔福德村、肯普斯福德村和费尔福德镇呈三角形环绕着基地。
They have been thrust onto the international stage and swirl with questions about what the men were doing and at whose instruction. The villages of Whelford and Kempsford and the town of Fairford sit in a triangle around the base.
自今年与伊朗战争爆发以来，费尔福德居民近距离目睹美军轰炸机以更高频率进出基地，低空掠过城镇。
Fairford’s residents have had a front-row seat to the U.S. bombers that have been flying in and out with renewed frequency since the start of the war with Iran this year, swooping low over the town.
住在肯普斯福德村、距离基地仅几步之遥的茅草屋主海伦·奇斯-普罗伯特说，周日清晨她被亲友的大量来电吵醒，询问她是否安好。
Helen Cheese-Probert, whose thatched-roof home is a short walk from the base in Kempsford, said she had awaken on Sunday morning by numerous calls from friends and family asking if she was all right.
