British diplomats will be attending a high-profile trial in China. It’s a highly unusual move by the Communist regime, since foreign diplomats are rarely granted access to politically sensitive trials.
英国外交官将出席一起在中国备受瞩目的审判。这就共产政权而言，是高度不寻常的举动，因为外国外交官甚少被允许进入政治敏感的审判。
British businessman Neil Heywood was found dead in his hotel room in the Chinese city of Chongqing last November. And Gu Kailai, the wife of a former top Communist Party leader Bo Xilai, has been charged with his murder. Bo was ousted after his former police chief Wang Lijun, fled to a US consulate.
去年11月，英国商人海伍德，在中国重庆市，被发现死于旅馆房间。前共党高阶领导人薄西来的太太谷西来，被控谋杀了他。在前警长王立军逃到美国领馆后，薄西来被拉下台。
Gu Kailai and Zhang Xiaojun, who worked for the Bo family, have been charged with poisoning Heywood.
谷开来与为薄家工作的张晓军，被控毒杀海伍德。
The trial is largely expected to be a show trial. State-run Xinhua News Agency has already announced that evidence against Gu is “irrefutable”.
这场审判被很大程度预期，其实是一场秀。国营媒体新华社已宣布对谷开来的证据，是“不可否认的”。
It’s a case that’s become a major embarrassment for Beijing. Bo is believed to be under house arrest, and there’s no word on the whereabouts of Wang Lijun.
这个案子对北京已是一大困宭。薄西来据信处于软禁之中，至于王立军的下落，则只字未提。
