基礎被動語態

Peter Mandelson was the UK Ambassador to Washington until last September when more details about his friendship with Epstein emerged and he was sacked by the Prime Minister.

Peter Mandelson 直到去年九月都是英國駐華盛頓大使，當時關於他與 Epstein 的友誼細節浮現，他是以被首相解職。

He hasn't commented commented recently on the Epstein files, but

他近期沒有對 Epstein 檔案發表評論，但

it's understood he believes he hasn't acted criminally nor for financial gain.

據瞭解，他認為自己並未有犯罪行為，也不是為了經濟利益。

Well, we'll have more on his dramatic fall from grace with Chris Mason shortly.

好的，稍後我們將由 Chris Mason 為大家帶來更多關於他戲劇性失勢的報導。

但首先，讓我們來看看今天的事件。

Here's our UK correspondent, Daniel Sanford, accompanied by two police officers wearing body worn cameras who had just arrested him.

這是我們的英國記者 Daniel Sanford，他由兩名佩戴隨身攝影機的警官陪同，他們剛剛逮捕了他。

Lord Mandelson being led to an unmarked car and being taken away to a police station for questioning.

Mandelson 勳爵被帶上一輛沒有標記的汽車，並被帶往警局接受訊問。

Minutes later, the Metropolitan Police confirmed that they had arrested a 72 year old man on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

幾分鐘後，倫敦都會警察局證實，他們已逮捕一名 72 歲男子，懷疑其涉嫌公職失當。

This is the defining moment of Keir Starmer's premiership.

這是 Keir Starmer 首相任期內的決定性時刻。

Watching the man who he appointed to the highest position in our diplomatic service getting arrested by police, I think is an image that's going to stay with all of us for many, many years.

看著他任命的、擔任我國外交部門最高職位的人被警方逮捕，我認為這將是我們所有人多年來都會記住的畫面。

To investigation of Lord Mandelson began two and a half weeks ago with searches of his London home in Camden and his second home in Wiltshire.

對 Lord Mandelson 的調查始於兩週半前，當時搜查了他位於 Camden 的倫敦住家以及他在 Wiltshire 的第二處住所。

It was triggered by emails in the Epstein files allegedly showing Lord Mandelson communicating with Jeffrey Epstein himself in one.

導火線是 Epstein 檔案中的電子郵件，據稱顯示 Lord Mandelson 與 Jeffrey Epstein 本人有聯繫。

Epstein allegedly asks about rumours about a proposed EU bailout during the financial crisis and Mandelson allegedly replies should be announced tonight.

Epstein 據稱詢問關於金融危機期間歐盟擬議紓困方案的傳聞，而 Mandelson 據稱回覆說今晚應該會公佈。

He also seems to forward an interesting note that had gone to the Prime Minister.

他似乎還轉發了一份發送給首相的有趣筆記。

He had returned to the Cabinet as Business Secretary under Gordon Brown after two resignations under Tony Blair.

在 Tony Blair 領導下的兩次辭職後，他以商業大臣的身份在 Gordon Brown 領導下重返內閣。

But when Gordon Brown lost the election and lost out in the subsequent coalition talks, Mandelson appears to write finally got him to go Today, more potentially market sensitive information.

但當 Gordon Brown 在選舉中落敗，並在隨後的聯合政府談判中失利後，Mandelson 似乎寫道「終於讓他走了」。今天，有更多可能涉及市場敏感資訊的內容。

Lord Mandelson had known Epstein since the early 2000s.

Lord Mandelson 自 2000 年代初期就認識 Epstein。

In one message in a birthday book he called him his best pal.

在一本生日書的一則訊息中，他稱他為「我最好的朋友」。

They remained in contact after Epstein was jailed for prostituting a 14 year old girl.

Epstein 因誘騙一名 14 歲少女而被判入獄後，他們仍保持聯繫。

When Epstein was freed, Lord Mandelson seems to write, how's freedom feeling?

Epstein 獲釋時，Mandelson 勳爵似乎寫道：「自由的感覺如何？」

Epstein apparently replies, to which Mandelson allegedly comments, naughty boy.

Epstein 顯然回覆了，Mandelson 據稱評論說：「壞小子。」

Despite knowing some details of Lord Mandelson's friendship with Epstein, the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, appointed him as Ambassador to Washington before removing him from that Post nine months later, in September, he had been seen as somebody who could get close to President Donald Trump and who knew about trade deals from his time as EU Trade Commissioner.

儘管首相 Keir Starmer 爵士知道 Mandelson 勳爵與 Epstein 的友誼的一些細節，但他仍任命他為駐華盛頓大使，九個月後，也就是九月，將他撤職，當時他被視為能夠接近美國總統 Donald Trump 的人，並且瞭解他擔任歐盟貿易專員時期的貿易協議。

Lord Mandelson has not commented publicly in recent weeks on the Epstein files, but

近幾週 Mandelson 勳爵並未公開評論 Epstein 檔案，但

the BBC understands his position has consistently been that he's not acted in any way criminally and that he was not motivated by financial gain.

據 BBC 瞭解，他的立場一貫是，他的行為沒有任何犯罪之處，而且他並非出於經濟利益的動機。

BBC 新聞記者 Daniel Sanford 報導。

Well, we can go straight now to Lucy Manning, who's outside New Scotland Yard for us.

好的，我們現在可以直撥連線給 Lucy Manning，她在蘇格蘭場外為我們報導。

Well, tonight, Lord Mandelson is still in Met police custody.

好的，今晚 Mandelson 勳爵人還在倫敦警察廳的拘留所。

He was arrested around 430 this afternoon, so they've now been questioning him for more than five hours.

他是在今天下午四點半左右被逮捕的，所以他們已經問他超過五個小時了。

What's not clear is whether they will hold him overnight tonight or release him.

目前還不清楚的是，他們今晚會把他拘留過夜，還是會讓他離開。

What is clear, however, is that this is a far cry from the grandeur of the British Embassy in Washington being in a Met police custody suite.

不過，可以確定的是，這跟之前在英國駐華盛頓大使館的氣派相比，現在人待在倫敦警察廳的拘留室，真是天壤之別。

Like other people who've been arrested, it's likely they took a custody photo, DNA and fingerprints as well.

就像其他被逮捕的人一樣，他們很可能也拍了拘留照、採集了 DNA 和指紋。

What we have got now are two police forces, Thames Valley and the Met, acting pretty decisively here, arresting Andrew Mountbatten, Windsor and now Lord Mandelson, both on allegations that they passed on documents allegedly to Jeffrey Epstein.

現在我們有兩個警力單位，泰晤士河谷警局和倫敦警察廳，在這裡採取了相當果斷的行動，逮捕了 Andrew Mountbatten，Windsor，還有現在的 Mandelson 勳爵，兩個人都被指控將文件傳遞給了 Jeffrey Epstein。

But there has been some criticism from one of the lawyers of Epstein victims that British police and prosecutors in the past haven't moved quickly enough on this, particularly in light of the allegations, the sexual allegations made against the former Prince Andrew, which he denied.

不過，有 Epstein 受害者律師批評，英國警方和檢察官過去在處理這件事上，並沒有夠快地採取行動，特別是考量到針對前安德魯王子提出的性指控，但他否認了這些指控。

And while we do have the Met and other forces now looking into Epstein linked flights, when BBC colleagues went to those same forces in October with these details, of more than 90 Epstein linked flights, no action was taken.

雖然現在倫敦警察廳和其他警力單位正在調查與 Epstein 有關的班機，但 BBC 同事在十月向這些單位提供了九十多個與 Epstein 有關的班機細節時，卻沒有採取任何行動。

It is worth remembering that both these men, they are just arrests at the moment.

值得注意的是，這兩個人目前都只是被逮捕。

Nobody has been charged and it's likely to be the start of what is said to be still quite a long investigation.

目前還沒有人被起訴，這很可能只是漫長調查的開始。

Lucy Manning there and Chris Mason is here with me.

現場是 Lucy Manning，Chris Mason 也在這裡。

Chris, it is an extraordinary sight this, isn't it?

Chris，這真是令人難以置信的景象，不是嗎？

This man who has been so powerful for so long, being led out by police officers under arrest.

這位曾經權傾一時的人物，現在卻被警察逮捕帶走。

One of the biggest figures in the contemporary history of the Labour Party.

他是英國工黨當代史上最重要的代表人物之一。

Three times a Cabinet minister, a European Commissioner then appointed, one of the marquee roles in the gift of a British Prime Minister, His Majesty's Ambassador to the United States.

他曾三度擔任內閣部長、歐盟執委，後來被英國首相任命為駐美國大使，這是首相職位中最重要的職位之一。

There he was, new in post around about a year ago.

The glamour, the splendor, the access to power.

光鮮亮麗、奢華享受、權力近在咫尺。

He was clearly reveling being back at the, at the top table.

他顯然很享受重回權力核心的感覺。

And you contrast that, as Lucy was reflecting with the reality of his evening over the last few hours in a police station under arrest.

而你對比一下，就像露西剛才說的，他過去幾個小時在警局被逮捕的真實情況。

The Conservatives have very bluntly and publicly seized tonight on this, as we saw in Daniel's report, making allegations around the Prime Minister's judgment in that appointment.

保守黨今晚非常直白且公開地利用了這件事，就像我們在丹尼爾的報導中看到的，他們對首相的這項任命判斷力提出了指控。

Now, no word from Downing street tonight.

I don't think we should be surprised by that given the, given that arrest has taken place.

考量到他已經被逮捕，我認為我們不應該感到驚訝。

But the sentiment rates that I pick up in, in government is a sort of sense of hang on.

但我從政府內部感受到的情緒是，大家都在想「等一下」。

What he has been arrested over relates to things that weren't even known at the time of his sacking, let alone at the time of his appointment.

他被逮捕的原因，與在他被解職時甚至都還不知道的事情有關，更不用說在他被任命時了。

And the Prime Minister has acknowledged that that appointment was a mistake.

而首相也承認，那項任命是個錯誤。

A couple of other things quickly to bring you up to speed on.

The Government has said today that as early as next week it could publish some of the documents relating to the appointment of Lord Mandelson as ambassador.

政府今天表示，最快下週就可能公佈部分關於任命Peter Mandelson為大使的相關文件。

That follows a vote in the Commons of a couple of weeks ago.

這是繼幾週前下議院的投票之後。

And tomorrow the Liberal democr of a debate in the Commons using the same mechanisms that the Conservatives used a few weeks ago.

明天自由民主黨將在下議院展開辯論，使用與保守黨幾週前相同的機制。

It's called the Humble Address to try and secure the release of documents relating to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's appointment as a trade envoy under the last Labour government back in 2001.

這稱為「卑微的請求」，目的是要爭取公佈與Andrew Mountbatten Windsor 在2001年最後一任工黨政府時期擔任貿易特使的任命相關的文件。

And in that motion, the Lib Dems say it should include any correspondence involving Lord Mandelson at the time regarding the suitability of the former Prince for that job.

在那項動議中，自由民主黨表示，應包含當時Peter Mandelson與前王子是否適合擔任該職位的相關信件。
