VOA慢速英语:US Takes Action Against Cyber Theft Threat

The United States has announced a plan to fight the quickly growing threat from cyber spies and Internet attackers known as hackers. America’s Attorney General Eric Holder recently said that ever - improving technology is making it easier for people and countries to strike at the United States.
美国已经宣布一项计划，来应对快速增长被称为黑客的网络间谍和网络入侵者的威胁。美国司法部长Eric Holder日前表示，不断提高的科技使得美国比以往任何时候都更容易遭受个人和他国的入侵。

Mister Holder said the Justice Department is fighting back aggressively. He said it is working with various states and government agencies to find and bring to justice those involved in cyber theft and cyber espionage. And, the attorney general called for increased co-operation with private companies.  He described the importance of keeping trade secrets a secret.
Holder先生称，司法部正积极回击。他说，司法部正与各州和政府机构联手，将网络盗窃和网络间谍嫌犯绳之以法。而且，司法部长呼吁与私人企业加强合作，他强调了维护商业机密的重要性。

Attorney General Eric Holder: “A single trade secret can be worth millions – or even billions – of dollars. Trade secret theft can require companies to lay off employees, close factories, to lose sales and profits, to experience a decline in competitive position and advantage, or even to go out of business.”
司法部长Eric Holder:：“一个单一的商业秘密可能价值数百万甚至数十亿美元，而商业秘密盗窃者能迫使公司裁员、关闭工厂、失去销售份额和利润，使得公司失去竞争地位和优势甚至破产。”

The new policy also calls for fines and trade actions against individuals and countries that target American trade secrets.
新政策还要求对窃取美国商业机密的个人和国家进行罚款或贸易行动。

The plan was announced the day after the American information security company Mandiant published the findings of its investigation of cyber-attacks.  It reports that more than 140 companies have been attacked since 2006. The targets include some of the biggest companies in the United States, companies like Apple Computer, Facebook, Lockheed Martin, CocaCola and many others.
这项计划宣布之前，美国信息安全公司Mandiant刚发布就网络入侵的调查结果。报告称2006年以来已有超过140家公司遭受入侵，目标包括美国的一些大型公司，例如苹果电脑、Facebook、洛克希德马丁、可口可乐等许多公司。
