目前尚无确凿证据表明,这些针对航空公司的炸弹威胁与俄罗斯、伊朗或任何代理组织有关。
There is no hard evidence so far linking airline bomb threats to Russia, Iran or any proxy groups.
弗兰克·加德纳 报道:警告密集而迅速地传来,一个接一个地针对不同的航空公司或机场。
By Frank Gardner The warnings came in thick and fast, targeting one airline or airport after another.
几乎所有情况下——伦敦希思罗机场是明显的例外——这些威胁都被认为足够可信,以至于有关航班被改道,甚至在意大利,还紧急起飞战斗机进行护航。
In nearly all cases - London's Heathrow airport being a notable exception - they were taken to be credible enough to divert the aircraft in question, or even in Italy's case, to scramble fighter jets to escort it.
这些威胁最终都被证明是虚假的,但这当然并不意味着下一次就不会是真的。
They all turned out to be false, which does not, of course, mean that the next ones will not be real.
这些针对航空公司的恶作剧同时发生、彼此协调,再加上欧洲各地出现的其他恶意行为,难怪有人将怀疑的矛头指向俄罗斯。
It is hardly surprising that the simultaneous, co-ordinated nature of these airline hoaxes, coupled with other malicious actions across Europe, are causing some people to point the finger of suspicion at Russia.
继今年早些时候发生一系列网络攻击以及敏感地点上空出现神秘无人机之后,过去几天里又发生了超市冷柜和血库被远程入侵的事件,波兰与俄罗斯边境发生了一起可疑事件,以及8月德国莱比锡哈勒机场遭无人机袭击——德国内政部长公开指责莫斯科应对此负责。那么,俄罗斯是幕后黑手吗?
Following a series of cyber-attacks and mysterious drone sightings over sensitive sites earlier this year, in the past few days we have seen the remote hacking of supermarket freezers, as well as a blood bank, a suspicious incident on Poland's border with Russia, and in August a drone attack Germany's Leipzig Halle airport which its interior minister publicly blamed on Moscow. So is Russia behind this?
许多人认为,仅凭间接证据就可以断定,这肯定又是“混合战争”、“灰色地带”或“次阈值”战争的又一例证——这类行动会破坏一国的基础设施或社会,但往往匿名进行、可以否认,且不足以触发北约第五条、从而动员西方作出回应。
There are many who argue, based purely on circumstantial evidence, that this must surely be yet another example of "hybrid", "grey zone" or "sub-threshold" warfare - actions that damage a nation's infrastructure or society but which tend to be anonymous, deniable and which fall short of triggering Nato's Article 5 and thereby mobilising a response by the West.
莫斯科对北约支持乌克兰确实极为愤怒,因为这种支持挫败了克里姆林宫吞并该国、有效终结其独立的计划。
Moscow is certainly furious with Nato for supporting Ukraine and, in doing so, frustrating the Kremlin's plans to swallow up that country and effectively terminate its independence.
俄罗斯博主也提出,如果乌克兰的无人机目前正使俄罗斯的机场变得不安全,而西方制裁又阻止俄罗斯航空公司进入欧洲领空,那么西方国家为什么不应该感受到同样的痛苦呢?
Russian bloggers have also suggested that, if Ukraine's drones are currently making Russia's airports unsafe, and Western sanctions are blocking Russian airlines from European airspace, then why shouldn't Western nations feel the same pain?

但截至周四晚间,尚无确凿证据将这些航空公司的恶作剧与俄罗斯、伊朗或它们控制的任何代理组织联系起来。
But as of Thursday evening no hard evidence had emerged linking the airline hoaxes to Russia, Iran or any proxy groups controlled by them.
周四上午,罗马机场当局收到了一封电子邮件威胁,发件人自称是“男性国家斗士”。
There is the email threat sent on Thursday morning to airport authorities in Rome, purporting to be from "Fighters of the Male State".
这个名字很可能指的是俄罗斯组织“男性军团”(Muzhskoi Legion),这是一个极右翼团体,其观点极为极端,以至于莫斯科一家法院于2021年将其取缔。
That name likely refers to the Russian group Muzhskoi Legion or "Male Legion", an ultra-right group with such extreme views it was banned by a Moscow court in 2021.
然而,该组织在Telegram上仍保留着数万名在线追随者,并在次年俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰时为其欢呼。
Yet, it retained tens of thousands of online followers on Telegram as it cheered on the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in the following year.
但是,发给罗马的这封电子邮件,即便是真实的——谁又能说这不是另一个组织冒用该名义呢?——也不太可能提供警方和机场当局所需的线索,以确定是谁在制造这些恶作剧以及原因。
But the email sent to Rome, even if genuine - and who is to say it is not another group hiding behind that name? - is unlikely to provide the leads that police and airport authorities need to pin down who is generating these hoaxes and why.
对于试图弄清这些恶作剧幕后黑手、以及如何在它们再次发生时最好地减轻其影响的国家警察部队、机场当局和交通部门来说,任务不是去追随他们认为最有可能的罪魁祸首,而是去追踪冷静、确凿的线索——如果他们能找到的话。
For national police forces, airport authorities and transport ministries trying to work out who is behind these hoaxes and how best to mitigate their effect when they happen again, the task is not to go with who they think might be the most likely culprits but instead to follow the cold, hard leads - if they can find them.
