I`m Carl Azuz for CNN 10.

我是卡爾·阿祖茲，歡迎收看CNN學(xué)生新聞。

An American businessman, lawyer and campaign worker named Paul Manafort has been formally charged with a number of crimes. It`s significant because

Manafort also temporarily worked as campaign chairman for U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump.

美國商人、律師以及活動人士Paul Manafort因一系列罪責(zé)被證實指控。事件影響重大，因為他曾在特朗普總統(tǒng)競選期間擔(dān)任競選經(jīng)理。

Here`s what this is all about. Yesterday, a special counsel for the U.S. Justice Department announced that Manafort and a business partner of his named Rick Gates have been charged with conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder or hide money, making false statements and failing to report that they had foreign bank accounts.

以下是具體新聞。昨日，美國司法部特別顧問宣布，Manafort和其商業(yè)伙伴瑞克·蓋茨被指控陰謀叛變美國，涉嫌洗黑錢、隱藏資金，制作虛假聲明，未上報存有海外銀行賬戶。

Starting in 2006, Manafort had worked on a number of projects in Eastern Europe, which included helping former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. He was ousted in 2014.

自2006年，Manafort 在東歐的一些項目中工作，其中包括幫助烏克蘭總統(tǒng)亞努柯維契。2014年，亞努柯維契被趕下臺。

But a report came out last year that Manafort had secretly been paid millions of dollars by Yanukovych`s political party, which was friendly to Russia. Manafort denied receiving secret payments. But when the report came out, he and Gates were working on the Trump election campaign.

但是去年，出版了一個報告，亞努柯維契政黨曾悄悄支付給Manafort數(shù)百萬美金，而Yanukovych和俄羅斯一向私交慎密。Manafort否認(rèn)接受了神迷款項。但是這份報告出爐時，他和蓋茨正在忙于特朗普的總統(tǒng)競選活動。

Manafort was its top official for a couple of months and he resigned days after the accusation was made.

在特朗普競選期間，Manafort擔(dān)任競選經(jīng)理。被指控數(shù)天后，Manafort辭職。

Gates also eventually left the campaign. Both of them pleaded not guilty to the charges announced yesterday. Those charges are not related to the Trump campaign and the White House says all this has nothing to do with the president.

蓋茨最終也離開競選團隊。昨日，兩人對指控都拒不承認(rèn)。這些指控與特朗普的競選活動無關(guān)，白宮表示，這一切與總統(tǒng)特朗普毫無關(guān)系。
