早上好。美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯表示，下个月将通过直播的方式执行尼达尔·哈桑的枪决，这一做法与以往惯例大相径庭。赫格塞斯称：“我们会确保民众能够观看这一过程，让一切公开透明，因为人们需要明白此类行为会带来极其严重的后果。”

Plus Sofia Coppola looks back on her glittering directorial career Good morning. The defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has said the execution of Nidal Hasan by firing squad will be livestreamed next month, in a radical departure from the previous norm. Hegseth said “we’ll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it’s public, because people need to understand there’s serious consequences for these types of things”.
2009年11月5日，哈桑在德克萨斯州胡德堡军事基地的医疗中心开枪，导致13人死亡、数十人受伤。2013年，军事陪审团判处他死刑，此后他便被关押在堪萨斯州的莱文沃思堡监狱。据悉，美国最后一次执行军事枪决是在1945年11月。
Hasan opened fire at a medical processing center at Fort Hood, Texas, on 5 November 2009, killing 13 people and wounding dozens more. A military jury sentenced him to death in 2013 and he has been held at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas ever since. The last known case of a military firing squad in the US was in November 1945.
为何赫格塞斯会因伊朗战争问题遭到批评？民主党参议员克里斯·墨菲指出，赫格塞斯“一心想要向美国民众隐瞒这场战争的代价与后果”。墨菲还称，五角大楼阻止他访问卡塔尔的军事基地，且伊朗对美国驻利雅得大使馆的袭击严重程度远超公众所知的状况。
Why is Hegseth being criticised over the Iran war? The Democratic senator Chris Murphy said Hegseth was “determined to hide the cost and the consequences of this war from the American public”. Murphy claimed the Pentagon blocked him from visiting a military base in Qatar and that an Iranian strike on the US embassy in Riyadh was far worse than the public were led to believe.
唐纳德·特朗普对美国对伊朗的战争有何表态？这位美国总统承诺，在11月美国中期选举之前不会对伊朗发动攻击，这意味着这场他历经近八个月仍未能平息的战争将暂时陷入停滞。路透社与Ipsos在9月下旬联合开展的民调显示，仅有约三分之一的美国人支持对伊朗实施打击。

A Reuters/Ipsos survey from late September found that only about a third of Americans approved of the strikes on Iran.
