1.The Sept. 11 hijackers probably used gas or spray such as mace against passengers and crew on the first plane to hit the World Trade Center, an FBI  agent told a German court Tuesday.

　　注：Spray:喷雾剂  mace:催泪瓦斯

　　美国联邦调查局一名特工12月10日在德国一家法院(出庭作证)时说，撞击世贸大楼的第一架飞机上的劫机犯可能使用了梅斯催泪毒气等气体或者喷雾剂，对付飞机乘客和机组人员

　　2. FBI special agent Matthew Walsh, giving evidence at the trial of Mounir El Motassadeq, the first suspected conspirator to stand trial, said a stewardess on board had said in a telephone conversation that she wasshavingstrouble breathing.

　　据报道，目前，德国汉堡一家法院正在审讯9-11恐怖袭击事件主要嫌疑人穆特萨迪格，美国联邦调查局特工马修-沃尔什在10日的审讯中提供了这一证词。现年33岁的沃尔什指出，在飞机撞向大楼前，一名空中小姐打电话说，感觉呼吸非常困难，

　　3. Walsh told the court in Hamburg the American Airlines stewardess said a number of people had been stabbed.

　　注：stab:刺这里表示被毒气袭击。

　　在德国汉堡的一家法院，沃尔什指正说，空中小姐电话里说，其他乘客也遇到了同样的困难

　　4. "She also stated it was very hard to breathe, so we assume that mace or another gas was used," he said. "Mace is an irritant spray commonly used to ward off assailants.

　　注：Ward off:抵挡  assailant:进攻者

　　"她还表示呼吸非常困难，所以我们猜测(劫机者)一定使用了催泪瓦斯或者其他气体"，他说："瓦斯是一种通常用来抵挡进攻者的刺激性气体。

　　In cautious testimony, he told the court the stewardess called in details of the hijack shortly before the crash, the first of four that killed a total of about 3,000 people.

　　他的陈述非常谨慎，告诉法庭空中小姐在第一架飞机撞上大楼之前曾打电话告知劫机的详情，四架飞机的撞击大楼总共导致了3000多人丧生。

　　"On the telephone she said she saw these people stabbing a passenger as well as other flight crew," he said. "The passenger in 10B had stabbed the passenger in front of him. She thought the passenger was already dead.

　　注：10B飞机上的座位编号，10表示第10排，B表示列，如10A、7C、6D等。

　　他说"在电话里，那个空中小姐说看见那伙劫机犯猛刺其中一位乘客和其他机上乘务人员，坐在10B位置上的人刺向坐在他前面的乘客，她以为那个乘客已经死了。"

　　"I believe he had his throat cut,"

　　"我相信劫机犯把他的嗓子给割断了。"
