美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周四表示，如果伊朗与试图坠毁一架飞往以色列航班的副驾驶有关联，伊斯兰共和国将因这起企图夺走机上180多人生命的行动而受到“非常严厉”的打击。
U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday that if Iran is linked to the co-pilot who tried to crash an Israel-bound flight, the Islamic Republic would be hit "very hard" over the attempt on the lives of more than 180 people aboard the jet.
特朗普发出这一警告之际，调查人员正在努力查明副驾驶为何刺伤航班机长，导致这架FlyDubai客机急剧下坠，随后机上其他人制止了袭击，并将客机降落在沙特阿拉伯。
Trump issued the warning as investigators worked to determine why the co-pilot stabbed the flight's captain, causing the FlyDubai plane to plummet before others on board stopped the attack and landed the airliner in Saudi Arabia.
总统在白宫被记者问及是否已听取关于袭击背后的副驾驶与德黑兰之间任何关联的简报。
The president was asked by reporters at the White House whether he had been briefed about any links between the co-pilot behind the attack and Tehran.
“我们正在调查此事，”特朗普说。“根据我所听到的，我会说答案是肯定的，但我们正在调查此事。”特朗普没有详细说明他为何怀疑伊朗可能参与其中。
"We're working on it right now," Trump said. "I would say the answer, based on what I'm hearing, is yes, but we're working on it right now." Trump did not elaborate about why he suspects Iran might be involved.
当被问及如果伊朗是袭击幕后黑手，美国是否会对其进行报复时，特朗普说：“哦，他们会受到打击，非常严厉，别担心。”
Asked if the U.S. would retaliate against Tehran if it was behind the attack, Trump said, "Oh they'll be hit, very hard, don't worry."
“你只管去问他们，”他说。“他们知道发生了什么。他们会受到非常严厉的打击。”他发表上述言论之际，结束战争的外交努力似乎已经停滞。
"You just ask them," he said. "They know what happened. They'll be hit very hard." His remarks came as diplomatic efforts to end the war appear to have stalled.
伊朗官员周三表示，他们已收到美国对德黑兰提出的结束这场持续七个月战争的最新提议的正式回应，而特朗普几天前刚刚公开拒绝了这一提议。这些官员没有说明回应内容是什么，也没有说明这是否是一项拒绝。
Iranian officials indicated Wednesday that they had received an official U.S. response to Tehran's latest proposal to end the seven-month war, which Trump had publicly rejected just days earlier. The officials did not say what the response contained and whether it was a rejection.
特朗普在周四发表的《时代》杂志采访中表示，他不会接受伊朗提出的“他一年前不会批准”的提议，并且不排除在11月3日美国大选后恢复轰炸的可能性。
Trump said in a Time magazine interview published Thursday that he would not accept proposals from Iran that "he wouldn't have approved a year ago," and left open the possibility of resuming bombing after the Nov. 3 U.S. election.
与此同时，一名美国官员周四表示，美军已派遣约9000名士兵乘坐一组舰艇前往中东地区。该官员向美联社透露，出于讨论敏感军事行动的考虑，要求匿名。据该官员称，这意味着三艘航空母舰最快可能在10月底抵达该地区。
Meanwhile, the U.S. military has dispatched roughly 9,000 troops aboard a group of ships to the Middle East, a U.S. official said Thursday. That could mean three aircraft carriers will be in the region as soon as late October, according to the official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military operations.
尽管特朗普公开拒绝了相关提议，但据未获授权公开评论、要求匿名的官员透露，调解方仍在继续与伊朗和美国接触，试图促成一项结束冲突并重新开放霍尔木兹海峡的协议。
Despite Trump's public rebuff, mediators have continued working with Iran and the U.S. to try to broker a deal to end the fighting and open the Strait of Hormuz, according to officials who were not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
