Some of the victims of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are demanding the release of all the files relating to the case.

已故性犯罪者 Jeffrey Epstein 的部分受害者要求公開所有與本案相關的檔案。

情態副詞

Many say they feel let down by the partial release of thousands of heavily redacted files.

許多人表示，對於數千份經過大量塗改的檔案只部分公開，讓他們感到失望。

department of justice, which released the trove, said the omissions were required to protect victims and for continuing investigations.

司法部，也就是釋出這批檔案的單位，表示這些遺漏是為了保護受害者以及為了持續進行的調查。

Well, a number of famous faces have appeared in the latest tranche of images, including Michael Jackson, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Bill Clinton.

嗯，最新一批的圖片中出現了一些名人，包括 Michael Jackson、Andrew Mountbatten Windsor 和 Bill Clinton。

Being named or pictured in the files is not an indication of any wrongdoing.

在檔案中被點名或出現在照片中，並不代表有任何不當行為。

Once among the most confidential documents kept under lock and key by the US Government, some, but

這些檔案曾是美國政府嚴密保管的機密文件之一，但並非全部的 Epstein 檔案已經公開，只有一部分。

far from all of the Epstein files have landed.

Among them this picture appearing to show the former President Bill Clinton next to Ghislaine Maxwell, who's serving a 20 year sentence for sex trafficking.

這張照片似乎顯示前總統 Bill Clinton 和 Ghislaine Maxwell 在一起，Ghislaine Maxwell 因性販運被判處 20 年徒刑。

And here, Mr. Clinton appears to be relaxing in a hot tub.

而在這裡，柯林頓先生似乎在溫泉浴缸裡放鬆。

Another appears to show Mr. Clinton posing with Mick Jagger.

另一張似乎顯示柯林頓先生與 Mick Jagger 的合照。

Clinton said the former president did nothing wrong and he cut Epstein off before his crimes came to light.

柯林頓先生說，前總統沒有做任何錯事，而且在 Epstein 的罪行曝光前就已經與他斷絕來往。

This image appears to show the former Prince Andrew lying across five unidentified people.

這張圖片似乎顯示前王子 Andrew 躺在五個身份不明的人身上。

Michael Jackson and the former British ambassador to Washington, Peter Mandelson, also appear to be included.

Michael Jackson 和前英國駐華盛頓大使 Peter Mandelson 也似乎包含在內。

Lord Mandelson has previously said he regrets his former relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Mandelson 勳爵先前曾表示，他後悔與 Jeffrey Epstein 的舊關係。

President Trump hasn't yet featured prominently, despite previous releases by Democrat opponents appearing to show him by Jeffrey Epstein's side.

儘管民主黨對手先前發布的圖片似乎顯示川普總統與 Jeffrey Epstein 在一起，但他至今尚未顯著出現。

The President has always denied doing anything wrong, and

總統一直否認做過任何錯事，而且

there is no indication of wrongdoing by anyone named or pictured in the Epstein files.

Epstein 檔案中沒有任何被點名或出現在圖片裡的人有不當行為的跡象。

This was the moment lawmakers voted for the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

這就是議員們投票通過 Epstein 檔案透明法案的時刻。

It gave the US Department of Justice until midnight last night to publish most of the files they held on Epstein.

該法案要求美國司法部在昨晚午夜前公佈他們持有的 Epstein 大部分檔案。

The law did allow the government to withhold or redact files relating to ongoing investigations and those showing abuse or identifying victims.

這項法律確實允許政府隱藏或刪改與持續進行的調查有關的檔案，以及顯示虐待或識別受害者的檔案。

But at the 11th hour, the DOJ said the number of documents meant the disclosure would be incomplete.

但在最後一刻，司法部表示，文件數量意味著公佈將是不完整的。

That has led survivors to call for more transparency.

這促使倖存者呼籲提高透明度。

I think all of us are full of anxiety at this point.

And you know that now that the files are released, we feel that it is a lot of files that don't have much information in them.

而且你知道，現在這些檔案都公開了，我們覺得裡面很多檔案的資訊量並不大。

So we're trying to figure out, you know, what is going on here, what kind of redactions were made.

所以我們正在試著弄清楚，到底發生了什麼事，做了哪些塗改。

The Department of Justice says it hasn't redacted the names of politicians or individuals who are not Victims.

司法部表示，他們沒有塗改政客或非受害者的名字。

They say they've identified 1200 survivors or relatives and their lawyers are looking at unpublished materials to decide what more can be released in the coming days and weeks.

他們說，他們已經確認了 1200 名倖存者或親屬，他們的律師正在審閱未公開的資料，以決定未來幾天和幾週內還能公佈多少內容。

For now, though, more accusations by politicians and survivors of a high level cover up and new calls for transparency.

不過目前，政客和倖存者們又提出了更多關於高層掩蓋的指控，並再次呼籲提高透明度。

BBC 新聞記者 Sean Dilly 在華盛頓報導。

And I spoke to criminal barrister Andrew Taylor.

我採訪了刑事辯護律師 Andrew Taylor。

Well, I think this is very much the hors d'.

嗯，我認為這非常像是開胃菜。

不是主菜。因為我們都很清楚，有很多很多檔案被塗改了，也有很多檔案沒有被公開。

It's not the main course because as we well know, there have been many, many redactions and many files that have not been released.

The justification for that at the moment seems to be that any file that, that might identify a victim or survivor or might perhaps interrupt the investigation into criminal behaviour is being withheld and that is justification for that.

目前的理由似乎是，任何可能指認受害者或倖存者，或可能幹擾犯罪行為調查的檔案，都將被扣留，這就是理由。

I think the difficulty is going to be that many of these people, 1200 or so survivors, are going to say, well, we are not satisfied at the moment with the amount of reductions.

我認為困難之處在於，這 1200 名左右的倖存者，他們都會說，嗯，我們目前對這些塗改的數量並不滿意。

And some of these images tell us nothing.

而有些畫面根本什麼都沒告訴我們。

Some of the scripts of things that we see tell us nothing at all.

有些我們看到的劇本內容，根本什麼都沒說。

I think this begs a big question and it begs a question of prosecutors both in America, in this country and indeed in other jurisdictions.

我認為這引出了一個大哉問，也引出了美國、本國以及其他司法管轄區的檢察官一個大哉問。

There must now, I think in America be a political will, presumably from the Democrats to have a team of special counsel or people go through these documents to say, well, okay, if there's an ongoing investigation, you should not interfere with that investigation or put it at risk by making these redactions and withholding certain files.

我認為美國現在必須要有政治意願，大概是來自民主黨，要組成一個特別檢察官團隊或指派專人來審閱這些文件，來判斷說，好吧，如果正在進行調查，就不應該幹擾調查，或透過塗改和扣留某些檔案來冒險。

But many might say, well, that is okay if there's an ongoing investigation, but

但很多人可能會說，如果正在進行調查，那樣做是可以的，但

if there's not, why redact and why keep from the public Just, just, just, just, just to jump in there a moment because we have heard from the Democrats already, some saying actually that they think that the Department of Justice here may have failed in its obligations.

如果沒有，為什麼要塗改，為什麼要向大眾隱瞞 只是，只是，只是，只是，只是，讓我插一下話，因為我們已經聽到民主黨有人說，他們認為美國司法部可能沒有盡到他們的義務。

That was, it was put under by the act that was passed by Congress and signed by Donald Trump into transparency.

這是國會通過並由 Donald Trump 簽署的法案，賦予了透明度。

The fact they just haven't released enough by that deadline.

事實是，他們在那期限前根本沒有釋出足夠的資訊。

Well, it is and I think it begs the question who is policing the police in that regard?

嗯，確實是這樣，而且我覺得這就引出了問題，誰來監督這些警察呢？

Because of course the Democrats are saying, is there a political cover up?

因為民主黨當然會說，這是不是政治掩蓋？

Is there somebody or some body of opinion or who are saying, well, this could be very embarrassing.

是不是有人或某種意見認為，嗯，這可能會非常令人尷尬。

We must stress, of course, that being mentioned or being pictured in these images does not imply any wrongdoing.

我們當然必須強調，出現在這些影像中或被提及，並不代表有任何不當行為。

But going beyond that, many people are going to say why is it that prosecutors have taken so long?

但更進一步說，很多人會問，為什麼檢察官花了這麼長時間？

Why have so few people been prosecuted either in America or other jurisdictions?

為什麼在美國或其他司法管轄區，被起訴的人這麼少？

And many, many people will say this Transparency act is far from transparent.

而且很多人都會說，這項透明法案離真正透明還差得遠。

The spirit of the act has not been put into effect.

這項法案的精神並沒有被落實。

And that's going to be, I think, a problem for the American government for weeks, months and even years to come.

我認為，這將會是美國政府未來幾週、幾個月甚至幾年來的一個問題。

I would be surprised if they were not prosecutions that followed from the release of what will eventually be material under the Transparency Act.

如果釋出的文件最終會根據《透明法案》公開，而沒有隨之而來的起訴，我會感到很驚訝。

But the point of here of the survivors, of course, will be looking potentially for a future cases to come out of this.

但受害者們的重點，當然是會期待未來能有更多案件是以出現。

Is that really likely now, given what has been redacted, given what hasn't come out?

考慮到被塗改的部分，以及還沒公開的內容，這真的有可能嗎？

And what kind of time frame are we talking if the information that many survivors would have wanted simply isn't out there?

如果許多受害者想要的資訊根本沒有公開，那我們談論的時間範圍又是多久呢？

Well, it's an old expression, but justice delayed is very often justice denied.

嗯，這是一句老話，但遲來的正義往往等於沒有正義。

And many of these survivors, we all know that some of them are sadly dead.

而我們都知道，很不幸的是，這些受害者中有一些人已經過世了。

Some of them might say, well, I have very poor memory of some of the things that happened.

有些人可能會說，嗯，我對發生過的一些事情記憶非常模糊。

It might therefore interrupt or it might interfere with the trial of some of these perpetrators.

這可能會是以打斷或幹擾其中一些加害者的審判。

But I think the fact that there are so many redactions and the fact that the justification for withholding so much material is, well, there's an ongoing criminal investigation.

但我認為，有這麼多塗改內容，以及隱藏這麼多資料的理由是，嗯，有持續進行的刑事調查。

That investigation points very strongly, in my opinion, to there being an investigation that will lead to prosecutions.

我認為，這項調查非常強烈地指向了將會導致起訴的調查。
