極端組織宣佈斬首第二位美國記者

The ISIS terror group has published a video titled “A second message to America,” showing the beheading of American journalist Steven Sotloff.
恐怖組織ISIS公佈了名爲“給美國的第二條消息”的視頻，視頻中美國記者史蒂芬•索特洛夫被斬首。

The video also threatens the life of British captive, David Haines.
他們還在視頻中威脅要處死英國人質大衛•海恩斯。

Sotloff speaks to the camera before he is killed, saying he is “paying the price” for U.S. intervention.
索特洛夫被殺前對着鏡頭說，他爲美國的干涉“付出代價”。

The masked ISIS figure in the video speaks to U.S. President Barack Obama, telling him, “Just as your missiles continue to strike our people, our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people.”
視頻中蒙面ISIS成員對美國總統奧巴馬說，“正是因爲你們的導彈還在襲擊我們的人民，所以我們的匕首將繼續刺向你們的脖子。”

Last week, Sotloff’s mother Shirley Sotloff released a video pleading with ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi not to kill her son.
上週，索特洛夫的母親雪莉•索特洛夫發佈了一段視頻懇求ISIS首領巴格達迪不要殺死她的兒子。

“Steven is a journalist who traveled to the Middle East to cover the suffering of Muslims at the hands of tyrants. Steven is a loyal and generous son, brother and grandson,” she said. “He is an honorable man and has always tried to help the weak.”
她說，“史蒂芬去中東是爲了報道被暴政欺壓的伊斯蘭信徒。他是個忠誠慷慨的好兒子、好兄弟、好孫子。他品德高尚，總是幫助弱小。”

Sotloff appeared last month in an ISIS video showing the decapitation of another American journalist, James Foley. The militant in the video warned that Sotloff’s fate depended on what President Barack Obama did next in Iraq.
上月ISIS公佈的另一美國記者詹姆斯•福萊的斬首視頻中，索特洛夫也有出現。視頻中的武裝分子警告道，索特洛夫的命運取決於接下來奧巴馬將如何對待伊拉克。

Steven Sotloff disappeared while reporting from Syria in August 2013, but his family kept the news secret, fearing harm to him if they went public.
2013年8月，史蒂芬•索特洛夫在敘利亞採訪時失蹤，但他的家人因擔心會給他帶來麻煩，故而並未公開此事。

Out of public view, the family and a number of government agencies have been trying to gain Sotloff’s release for the past year.
過去一年裏，他們和政府機構展開祕密救援行動，試圖讓索特洛夫獲釋。
