gosh, with all those sanctions on Iran and North Korea,

天啊，伊朗和北韓 都有這麼多項東西被制裁了

how do they keep developing their nuclear programs?!

You know international law is a funny thing.

你知道嗎，國際法是件很有趣的事

There is no world government, officially,

那在沒辦法強制執行 任何事情的情況下

Take for instance American trade sanctions

The European Union and a number of democratic countries

if you restrict trading with these rogue regimes,

如果你限制和這些流氓政權交易

it'll hopefully stop them from developing nuclear weapons,

那麼便有可能 阻止他們發展核武

and generally being horrible to their own citizens.

通常也能阻止他們 糟蹋自己的國民

“no school lunch for bullies” policy.

swapping sandwiches with Iran and North Korea.

In fact, China is the biggest trading partner

This makes the rest of the world's sanctions

這個嘛，中國公司中興通訊 (ZTE) 嘗到了苦頭

No, they actually sell cheap smartphones,

不，他們其實是在賣 便宜的智慧型手機

Apparently, ZTE is the number 4 smartphone vendor

聽說ZTE是美國 第四大智慧型手機

But smartphones are only a small part of their business.

但智慧型手機只是 該公司業務的一小部分

ZTE is also one of the world's biggest makers

But while these kids were doing sick tricks on skateboards,

但是當這些孩子們 在滑板上耍花招時

ZTE was doing some extremely illegal tricks

An unprecedented US fine for sanctions busting.

美國針對違反制裁判了 史無前例的鉅額罰款

agreeing to pay more than a billion dollars in penalties

and plead guilty to illegally shipping U.S.-made technology

並且承認非法向 伊朗和北韓運送

so you might think it wouldn't be bound by the US's sanctions.

所以你可能以為 它不受美國制裁的約束

So when ZTE is shipping US-manufactured components

And since ZTE has a subsidiary company in the US,

that gives the US government a legal hook

這正好給美國政府一個合法的門徑

透過這項行動 [美國商務部長　威爾伯·羅斯]

export control laws and any other trade regimes

出口管制法律和其他貿易體系者

They will suffer the harshest of consequences.

對啦，你們這些可惡的滑板少年！

The US began investigating ZTE five years ago,

自從2012年路透社的這篇報導之後 [中國公司幫助伊朗監控公民]

“a powerful surveillance system capable of monitoring landline,

Plus it made 283 shipments to North Korea.

此外，還向北韓提供了283批貨物

This top secret document written by ZTE's legal department

ZTE法律部門所撰寫的 這份機密文件

根本就是在說：「嘿，高層主管

you know all those illegal things we're doing,

你知道我們正在做的 這些非法勾當

like exporting US products to rogue nations?

例如出口美國產品到流氓國家嗎？

Obviously they weren't very good suggestions.

This unprecedented penalty reflects ZTE's premeditated,

這次史無前例的處罰 反映了ZTE預謀要

obstructed and misled investigators for years,

only acknowledging the truth starting in March 2016

直到2016年3月份 他們被我們逮個正著後
