New Spies Went for a Joyride in Moscow. Russia Isn’t Happy.
俄羅斯情報學院畢業生開豪車兜風引發譴責
MOSCOW — Officers and recent graduates of Russia’s top security academy will be reprimanded or fired after a video circulated online showing them joyriding around Moscow in a parade of gleaming black luxury vehicles, the Federal Security Service said on Thursday. The agency, known as the F.S.B., said in an exceedingly rare statement that the incident had compromised its credibility in the eyes of the Russian public.
莫斯科——俄羅斯聯邦安全局（Federal Security Service，簡稱FSB）表示，該國安全領域最高學府的一羣情報官和剛剛畢業的學生將受到嚴厲的訓斥，或被開除。此前，一段在網上傳播的視頻顯示，他們組成耀眼的黑色豪華車隊，在莫斯科各處開車兜風。FSB發佈了一封極爲罕見的聲明，表示這起事件損害了該機構在俄羅斯公衆心目中的信譽。
The joyride took place in June. About 50 young men celebrated their graduation from the agency’s academy by honking and waving from a fleet of 30 rented Mercedes G-Class S.U.V.s, roaring through the streets of the capital.
這起駕車兜風事件發生在今年6月。大約50名年輕男子爲慶祝自己從FSB下屬的學院畢業，駕駛30輛租來的奔馳G級SUV，喧鬧地穿過首都的街道，在車上不停地按喇叭和揮手。
The vehicles, which are popular with Russian gangsters and the bodyguards who protect top government officials, cost at least $105,000 apiece in Russia. With the country in a sustained economic downturn, the sight of them careering through Moscow was hardly an image that the agency, where President Vladimir V. Putin once worked, would want to project.
這類車很受俄羅斯黑幫和保護高層政府官員的警衛隊歡迎，在俄羅斯每臺售價至少10.5萬美元。隨着俄羅斯經濟持續下滑，這些人開着豪車歡呼着穿行於莫斯科的畫面顯然不是俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾·V·普京(Vladimir V. Putin)供職過的FSB想要對外呈現的。
Making matters worse, the joyriders ordered a slickly produced professional video of their parade, complete with techno rap music booming on the soundtrack. In two scenes in the video, the joy riders pose together with their faces clearly visible to the camera.
讓情況更糟糕的是，這些兜風者讓人拍下這一過程，製作成了畫質精良的專業視頻，還配有震天響的電子說唱音樂。在視頻的兩個片段中，兜風者一起擺好姿勢，通過攝像機可以清楚地看到他們的面孔。
According to a comment posted online with the video, the men involved had studied in the academy’s military intelligence department.
與這段視頻一起發佈在網上的一條評論稱，涉事人員曾在該校軍事情報系就讀。
“Their shameless and ostentatious behavior, connected with the short-term rental of luxury cars,” the agency’s statement said, “provoked reasonable indignation from the public and sharp condemnation by the professional community as incompatible with the professional code of ethics.”
“他們不知羞恥的炫耀行爲，加上短租來的豪華車，”FSB在聲明中表示，“引發了公衆合乎情理的憤怒情緒，專業社羣也因爲其違背職業道德而予以譴責。”
When a participant in the joyride posted the video online, it went viral and provoked a public uproar.
一名駕車兜風的參與者將視頻發佈到網上後，它便迅速傳播開來，引得公衆一片譁然。
“This looks like an advertisement for public service,” wrote Andrei Kostin, a commentator. “This is where school graduates should apply, instead of becoming teachers, doctors, engineers.”
“這看起來像公職人員的廣告片，”名爲安德烈·科斯京(Andrei Kostin)的評論者寫道。“這纔是高中畢業生應該選擇申請的去向，而不是當老師、醫生和工程師。”
Aleksander Mikhailov, a retired major general in the security service, said in a televised interview that he was furious when he saw the video, and suggested that posting it online could be construed as treasonous.
該情報機構的退休少將亞歷山大·米哈伊洛夫(Aleksander Mikhailov)在接受電視臺採訪時表示，在看到這段視頻時，他感到非常憤怒。他還認爲，將這段視頻發到網上可以看作是叛國行爲。
“For four years, they were taught the main principles: covertness, modesty, thoughtfulness, watchfulness,” Mr. Mikhailov told Ren-TV. “Whom did we get? Narcissistic merchants.”
“四年來，他們被教導的主要行爲原則是：隱蔽、謙遜、深思熟慮和小心謹慎，”米哈伊洛夫對Ren-TV電視臺表示。“結果我們得到的是什麼？狂妄自大的商人。”
One man who said he took part in the ride criticized Mr. Mikhailov’s sharp comments, saying in a radio interview that they only exacerbated the damage. The man, who identified himself only as Vsevolod, told the Govorit Moskva radio station that the graduates were given the use of the vehicles by more senior officers of the security service.
一名自稱參與了兜風的男子對米哈伊洛夫的尖銳言論表示指責。他在接受電臺採訪時表示，這些言論只會加重此事帶來的後果。這名自稱弗謝沃洛德(Vsevolod)的男子告訴莫斯科之聲(Govorit Moskva)電臺，這些畢業生是從該安全機構更高級別的情報官那裏獲准使用這些車輛的。
The F.S.B. is the successor to the Soviet K.G.B., which was once led by Mr. Putin. It remains one of the most powerful agencies in Russia.
FSB的前身是蘇聯情報機構克格勃(KGB)，克格勃一度由普京領導。它依然是俄羅斯最有影響力的機構之一。
Mr. Putin’s spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov, declined to comment on the matter last week, saying that it was up to the academy and the Moscow traffic police to make their own assessments of the incident.
普京的發言人德米特里·S·佩斯科夫(Dmitri S. Peskov)上週拒絕對此事置評，稱此事應該由FSB學院和莫斯科交警各自進行評估。
