NEW YORK–Dozens of Jeffrey Epstein's accusers—many allegedly abused when they were teenagers—testified in a Manhattan courtroom on Aug.27 after federal prosecutors asked the judge to formally dismiss their case against the now-deceased financier.
纽约——8月27日，联邦检察官要求法官正式驳回对现已去世的金融家杰弗里•爱泼斯坦(Jeffrey Epstein)的指控后，数十名指控爱泼斯坦的人在曼哈顿的一家法庭上作证。
The accusers,speaking one after another often through tears and trembling voices,testified about their reactions to Epstein's suicide and spoke about how they first met the man.Many described how their lives were turned into a spiral of disarray and suffering after they were sexually abused by Epstein,who prosecutors say exploited and abused dozens of minor girls at his different residences.
指控者们通过泪水和颤抖的声音一个接一个地说话，作证他们对爱泼斯坦自杀的反应，并谈论他们是如何第一次见到这个男人的。许多人描述了自己的生活是如何在遭受爱泼斯坦性虐待后陷入混乱和痛苦的漩涡。检察官称，爱泼斯坦在自己的不同住所里剥削和虐待了数十名未成年女孩。
Sixteen women testified in person to the court;some gave their names,others preferred to remain anonymous.Lawyers also read statements from seven other women who couldn't,or didn't want to speak publicly.
十六名妇女亲自到法庭作证;一些人透露了自己的姓名，另一些人则不愿透露姓名。律师们还阅读了其他七位不能或不想公开发言的女性的声明。
The hearing,which lasted for more than two hours,was a dramatic scene that occurred just weeks after Epstein killed himself in his cell.Epstein's lawyers have said previously they are"not satisfied"with the autopsy results and have vowed to conduct their own investigation into his death.
听证会持续了两个多小时，这是爱泼斯坦在牢房里自杀几周后发生的戏剧性一幕。爱泼斯坦的律师此前曾表示，他们对尸检结果"不满意"，并誓言将对爱泼斯坦的死亡展开自己的调查。
U.S.District Judge Richard Berman described the hearing as"remarkable"in his final remarks to the court,following the testimonies.
美国地方法院法官理查德·伯尔曼在作证后向法庭发表的最后讲话中称这次听证会"非同寻常"。
Berman said he believed everyone had"benefited greatly"from listening to the accusers.The judge said he decided to give the victims a chance to testify,because of their"relevant experiences."
伯曼说，他相信每个人都从听取指控者的意见中"受益匪浅"。法官说，他决定给受害者一个作证的机会，因为他们有"相关的经历"
Attorney General William Barr previously said that both the FBI and the Department of Justice's inspector general were opening investigations into Epstein's death.
司法部长威廉·巴尔此前曾表示，联邦调查局和司法部的监察长都在对爱泼斯坦之死展开调查。
Harrowing Stories
悲惨的故事
