Hillary Clinton dismissed a Republican broadside on her and President Obama over the Benghazi attacks today saying: ’Move on.’

之前，共和黨人曾抨擊希拉里和奧巴馬在班加西美國大使之死上撒謊，而今天希拉里否認了這一指控，并回答道：“繼續前進。”

The Republican members of the House Benghazi committee issued their 800 page report with excoriating words for her and the president, accusing her of ’shameful’ conduct over her secret email account, and the White House of lying about what caused the attacks.

眾議院班加西委員會的共和黨人們發布了一份800頁的報告， 言辭激烈地抨擊了希拉里和總統奧巴馬，譴責了希拉里秘密郵件賬戶的“可恥”行為，還批駁白宮對班加西襲擊事件的真實原因撒謊。

Her ’homebrew’ server was only revealed because of the investigation into the deaths of four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens.

只有在對四名美國人(其中包括美國大使克里斯托弗·史蒂文森)的死亡進行調查的時候，人們才知道了希拉里“自制”服務器的存在。

The blistering 800-page report excoriates the Obama administration, finding that it lied about what caused the attacks which claimed the lives.

這份言辭激烈的報告也抨擊了奧巴馬政府，指出政府對該襲擊致死事件的真實原因撒了謊。

It says what went wrong may never be fully known because of a ’shameful’ decision by Hillary Clinton not to turn over the contents of her secret ’homebrew’ server, whose existence only came to light because of the investigation.

這份報告聲稱該事件成因永遠不會被完全披露，其原因是因為希拉里“可恥”地決定不移交她秘密“自制”服務器的內容，甚至如果不是因為這場調查的話，誰也不會知道這個秘密服務器的存在。

But her response was curt. ’I think it is pretty clear it is time to move on,’ she said.

但是希拉里的回應很短，她說：“我認為很顯然我們應該繼續前進。”

Republicans on the House Benghazi Committee claimed Tuesday that the Obama White House and Hillary Clinton lied repeatedly to the American people about the nature of and reasons for the 2012 terror attacks in Benghazi, Libya, even as they privately acknowledged what caused them.

眾議院班加西委員會的共和黨人在本周二發表了聲明，指出奧巴馬政府和希拉里向美國民眾多次撒謊，他們隱瞞了2012年發生在利比亞班加西的恐怖襲擊事件的真實情況以及事件原因，盡管他們曾私下里承認。

The report offers no explanation for why it took 18 hours for military assets to reach the Libyan city - many hours after the president ordered every possible measure to be taken, and the then defense secretary testified that he ordered deployment.

這份報告質疑說，到底是什么原因使得軍方花了18個小時才抵達了敘利亞班加西--而那距離奧巴馬下令采取一切可能的方法，以及隨后國防部長部署軍隊之后，已經過了多個小時的時間。

Republicans’ central argument is that the Obama White House chose to deceive Americans rather than risk the public relations nightmare of admitting terrorists had struck Americans overseas, less than two months before Obama’s re-election day.

共和黨人這份報告的核心觀點是，奧巴馬政府寧愿選擇欺騙美國民眾，也不愿意因承認恐怖分子在海外襲擊美國人，而冒公共關系惡化的風險，更不用說還有不到兩個月奧巴馬就將卸任的今天。

’They misled the American people and said, "We can’t tell the truth. We can’t talk about how bad the security situation was.

“他們誤導了美國人民，還厚顏無恥地說‘我們不能說出真相。我們不能談論安全形勢是多么的糟糕’。”

We can’t talk about the fact that, that this was a terrorist attack. we have to mislead the American people because we are just eight weeks before an election",’ Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, one of the committee’s Republican members, claimed Monday morning on CNN.

“‘我們不能說出事情的真相，我們不能告訴他們這其實是一場恐怖襲擊。我們必須誤導美國人民，因為還有8周就要進行大選了’，”眾議院班加西委員會共和黨人之一、俄亥俄州代表吉姆·約旦在周一早上對CNN如此說道。

The panel’s chairman, Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, and other Republicans also accuse the Obama administration of stonewalling important documents and witnesses.

該委員會主席、南卡羅來州眾議院議員特里·高迪和和其他共和黨人也譴責了奧巴馬政府，批評其不愿公布該事件的重要文件和證言。

Democrats say the panel’s main goal is to undermine Clinton’s presidential hopes.

但是民主黨人則表示說，這個小組的主要目的是要搞臭希拉里，讓她當不了總統。

The former secretary of state said Tuesday in Denver, where she held a campaign event, that she would ’leave it to others to characterize this report but I think it is pretty clear it is time to move on.’

希拉里本周二在丹佛舉行競選活動時發表了講話，她說她將“讓別人來評述這份報告，但是我認為很顯然我們應該繼續前進。”

I have said from the very beginning nothing is more important than the security of our diplomats and our development officials to go into dangerous places around the world pursuing American values, interests and our security,’ she said.

希拉里說道：“我從一開始就說，沒有什么事情比我們外交官和發展官員的安全更重要，他們深入全球各地危險的地方，去踐行美國的價值觀、追求美國的利益、并且保障美國人民的安全。”

While this unfortunately took on a partisan tinge, I want us to stay focused on what I’ve always wanted us to stay focused on and that is the important work of diplomacy and development,’ she added.

希拉里補充道：“不幸的是，這件事染上了黨派色彩，希望我們能夠專注在我一直希望我們專注的事情上，而那正是外交和發展的重要工作。”

’We cannot withdraw or retreat from the world. America needs a presence for a lot of reasons,’ Clinton continued.

希拉里繼續說道：“我們不能離開這個世界。由于種種原因，美國需要繼續參與全世界的事務。”

’And the best way to honor the commitment and sacrifice of those we lost is to redouble our efforts to provide the resources and support that our diplomats and our development experts deserve.’

“有一個最好的方法來紀念我們沒有履行的承諾、以及那些我們沒有守護的犧牲者，那就是加倍努力提供資源，支持我們的外交官和發展專家。”
