AS IT IS 2015-11-17 Islamic State Video Threatens Washington IS发视频 威胁袭击华盛顿

News reports say the militant¹ group Islamic State has released a video in which it threatens it will attack Washington, D.C.

最新消息，“伊斯兰国”极端恐怖组织发布视频称将袭击美国华盛顿。

The authenticity² of the video could not be confirmed. It shows fighters holding weapons threatening to attack the U.S.

视频的真实性还有待进一步调查。视频中一批全副武装、手持枪械的恐怖分子宣称要袭击美国。

In the video, a man wearing military clothes says,"I swear to God, a similar day that Paris went through, the U.S. will go through. We will strike the U.S. and its stronghold, Washington."

该视频中，一位身着迷彩服、头戴头巾的恐怖分子声称：对上帝发誓，巴黎遭血洗的这一天，美国迟早会经历。我们会对美国发动袭击还有它的大本营华盛顿。

The Washington Post reported that the video looks similar to confirmed Islamic State videos. But the newspaper said it lacks "the theatrics and high-quality editing that other videos have had."

据《华盛顿邮报》报道，该视频类似于之前“伊斯兰国”所发布的视频。但是，该视频并不像之前的视频那样经过特殊处理。

On Friday, Islamic State fighters attacked six areas of Paris. The suicide bombings and shootings killed at least 129 people.

周五，“伊斯兰国”极端恐怖份子在巴黎市区及郊区等六处地点发动袭击。自杀式炸弹袭击以及枪杀已造成至少129人遇难。

Meanwhile, an activist³ organization called Anonymous⁴ has said it will carry out cyber attacks against Islamic State. Anonymous is a group that hacks⁵ into websites and posts embarrassing information. It has hacked⁶, or broken into, the accounts of individuals, governments and organizations of which it does not approve.

此间，一个名为“匿名者”的国际黑客组织对“伊斯兰国”发动网络攻击。“匿名者”是一个专门攻击网站窃取个人隐私的黑客组织。该组织曾非法入侵或破坏个人账户，政府以及团体组织等相关网站。

In that video a masked man with a French accent says, "Expect many cyberattacks. War has been declared. Get ready. We do not forgive and we do not forget."

在“伊斯兰国”发布的视频中，一位法国口音的面具男子声称，期待黑客们的攻击，战争已经打响。你们做好准备。我们不会原谅也将永远铭记这一刻。

Last January, Islamic State attackers raided a magazine's offices in Paris, killing⁷ 17 people. Anonymous has waged an online campaign to shut down Twitter profiles of Islamic State supporters.

今年的1月份，“伊斯兰国”袭击了巴黎的一间杂志社，造成17人死亡。于是，“匿名者”黑客组织入侵并黑掉了“伊斯兰国”支持者们的推特（Twitter）账号。
