CTEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- The Iranian government has blocked access to the social networking site Facebook amid political jockeying for the June 12 presidential elections, according to the semi-official Iranian Labour News Agency.
伊朗，德黑兰（CNN），根据来自半官方的伊朗劳动新闻（ILNA）说，为了6月12日的总统大选，伊朗政府屏蔽了社交网站FACEBOOK。
Reformist candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi -- a former prime minister considered a threat to current hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad -- created a Facebook page for his campaign that has more than 5,000 supporters on the site.
革新派的候选者Mir Hossein Mousavi 是前任首相，被认为是走强硬路线的现任总统Mahmoud Ahmadinejad的有力竞争者，在FACEBOOK上为自己的竞选活动上设立了网页，在该网站上他有超过5000名支持者。
Those attempting to visit Facebook received a message in Farsi saying, "Access to this site is not possible," according to CNN personnel in Tehran.
据CNN在德黑兰的工作人员说，那些试图进入FACEBOOK的支持者们在登陆时则收到波斯语的提示“此网站不能进入”。
TEHILNA reported the Masadiq Committee, made up of representatives from Iran's intelligence ministry, judiciary and others had ordered the action.
ILNA报告说那些由伊朗国家智库/司法部门等官员组成的Masadiq委员会决定了采取屏蔽措施。
After a few hours, the blockage was lifted, but was then reinstated, ILNA said. No reason was given for the block.
几小时之后，屏蔽被解除了，但很快又被再次封杀。ILNA报道说并没有官方解释被屏蔽的原因。
"We are disappointed to learn of reports that users in Iran may not have access to Facebook, especially at a time when voters are turning to the Internet as a source of information about election candidates and their positions," a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement.
FACEBOOK的新闻发言人发表声明说“当选民们打算从互联网上了解侯选者的信息与职位时，但就在这样的一个特别时期网民们却不能进入FACEBOOK，我们对此感到失望。”
"We believe that people around the world should be able to use Facebook to communicate and share information with their friends, family and co-workers. It is always a shame when a country's cultural and political concerns lead to limits being placed on the opportunity for sharing and expression that the Internet provides."
该发言人还说“我们相信在世界上任何地方的人都应该能自由使用FACEBOOK去与他们的朋友，家人，同事们交流及分享信息，而一个国家出于文化或政治原因而去限制使用者利用互联网去分享或表达的权利一直是一种可耻的做法”。
Ahmadinejad's challengers are increasingly turning to new technology to spread their message, according to a May 13 article in the Financial Times newspaper.
据5月13日的财经时报报道说，Ahmadinejad的竞争者们日益倾向于采用时新的信息技术去传播他们的竞选主张。
Iran's population -- estimated at more than 66 million by July 2009, according to the CIA World Factbook -- has a median age of 27. The Financial Times, which put the country's population at 70 million, said 47 million Iranians have cell phones and 21 million have Internet access.
由美国中情局出版的的世界年度概况中显示到2009年7月为止伊朗大约有六千六百万人，其中有大约二千七百万为中年人。而财经时报则估计总人口有七千万，其中四千七百万人拥有手机，而二千一百万有上网设施。
"We are using new technologies because they have the capacity to be multiplied by people themselves who can forward Bluetooth, e-mails and text messages and invite more supporters on Facebook," Behzad Mortazavi, head of Mousavi's campaign committee, told the Financial Times.
对立党派Mousavi's委员会的竞选负责人Behzad Mortazavi对财经时报说“我们采用新的信息技术的原因是选民们在FACEBOOK上能够采取蓝牙/电邮/短信的形式自行复制并发展更多的支持者。
At a Mousavi rally at a stadium Saturday, the Facebook blockage was a topic of conversation among reporters. Many said they had accessed Facebook on Friday night and believe the site was blocked Saturday morning.
在星期六的Mousavi派的一次集会中，FACEBOOK被屏蔽成了与会者的一个讨论话题，他们当中的许多人说在星期五晚上还能使用FACEBOOK，相信是从星期六早上被屏蔽的。 |
