【译文】
U.S. authorities are investigating allegations that an Indian government spy unit hacked into emails of an official U.S. commission that monitors economic and security relations between the United States and China, including cyber-security issues.
美国当局正在调查一个印度政府间谍机构入侵一个美国官方委员会（该委员会监控中美经济与安全关系，包括网络安全）电子邮件的事件。
The request for an investigation came after hackers posted on the Internet what purports to be an Indian military intelligence document on cyber-spying, which discusses plans to target the commission - apparently using technical know-how provided by Western mobile phone manufacturers.
黑客们在网上贴出一个据称是关于网络间谍活动的印度军方情报文件，它讨论了针对这一委员会的计划——明显应用了西方移动电话生产商提供的技术知识，这之后有了对调查的要求。
Appended to the document are transcripts of what are said to be email exchanges among commission members.
附加在文件上的是据说是委员会成员之间的来往邮件清单。
"We are aware of these reports and have contacted relevant authorities to investigate the matter. We are unable to make further comments at this time," Jonathan Weston, a spokesman for the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, said on Monday.
“我们知道这些报告，而且已经联系了相关权威来调查这个问题。我们现在还不能做出进一步的评论。“中美经济与安全审议委员会的发言人Jonathan Weston在周一说。
The document's authenticity could not be independently verified. But the U.S.-China commission is not denying the authenticity of the emails.
这一文件的真实性无法被独立证实。但中美委员会并未否认这些电子邮件的真实性。
Officials in India could not be reached for comment on the document's content or authenticity. One India-based website quoted an unnamed army representative as denying that India used mobile companies to spy on the commission and calling the documents forged.
我们无法联系到印度官员来对这个文件的内容和真实性做出评论。一家在印度的网站引用了一个匿名的军队代表的话，他否认印度用了移动电话公司来对委员会做出间谍活动，并说这个文件是伪造的。
The purported memo says that India cut a technological agreement - the details are not clear - with mobile phone manufacturers "in exchange for the Indian market presence." It cites three: Research in Motion, maker of the BlackBerry; Nokia; and Apple.
这一所谓的备忘录说印度和移动电话生产商有一个“换取在印度市场的存在“的技术协议——细节尚不明确。它提到了三个：制造黑莓手机的动态研究公司、诺基亚和苹果。
Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller said her company had not provided the Indian government with backdoor access to its products. A spokesman for Nokia declined comment; RIM officials could not be reached for comment.
苹果发言人Trudy Muller说她的公司并未向印度政府提供自己产品的后门入口。诺基亚的发言人拒绝评论。动态研究公司的官员无法被联系到。
The U.S. Congress created the commission in 2000 to investigate and report on the national security implications of the economic relationship between the United States and China. The bipartisan, 12-member panel holds periodic hearings each year on China-related topics such as cyber security, weapons proliferation, energy, international trade compliance, and information policy.
美国国会在2000年创立了这一委员会来调查和报告国家安全对中美之间经济关系的影响。由两党组成的、有12名成员的小组每年都举行周期性的听证会，主题关于中国，比如网络安全、武器扩散、能源、国际贸易服从以及信息政策。
The email breach, if confirmed, would be the latest in a series of cyber intrusions that have struck U.S. institutions ranging from the Pentagon and defense contractors to Google Inc.
如果被证实，这一电子邮件破坏会成为一系列打击了从五角大楼到谷歌防御承包商的美国机构的网络入侵中最新的一个。
A U.S. government official, who asked not to be identified, said the matter is under investigation. The FBI has jurisdiction to investigate cyber-hacking inside the United States. An FBI spokesman declined to comment.
一位请求不要透露身份的美国政府官员说这个事件正在调查中。FBI有权调查美国境内的网络入侵。一位FBI发言人拒绝评论。
Many of the previous hacks have been blamed on China. In this case, it is unclear whether India might have been eavesdropping on the U.S.-China commission for itself or sought to pass any information collected to authorities in China.
从前的入侵中有很多都被归咎于中国。在这一案件里，印度是在为自己窃听中美委员会还是为了替中国当局收集信息，这还不清楚。
INDIA INTERESTED
印度感兴趣
India and China have more often been competitors rather than collaborators on economic and foreign policy matters in recent years, and India would be intensely interested in the official U.S. view of Beijing.
最近几年，在经济和外交政策方面印度和中国更多的是作为竞争对手而非合作者，印度会对美国官方对北京的看法强烈地感兴趣。
Stewart Baker, a former cyber-security policy expert at the National Security Agency and U.S. Department of Homeland Security, said the commission "would be a high-priority target for China, since USCC has been one of the most vocal US agencies in warning against Chinese hacking."
国家安全局及美国国土安全部的前任网络安全政策专家Stewart Baker说，委员会“会是中国的首要目标，因为中美经济与安全审议委员会（USCC）是最强烈地警告防范中国黑客美国机构之一。”
"What's interesting is that they seem to have become a target for India for the same reason," Baker said. "If it's genuine, it should cause red faces all around. At USCC for apparently getting hacked by Indian intelligence, and even more so at Indian intelligence for getting hacked by what may be a bunch of amateurs."
“有趣的是，看起来他们也许因为同一个原因而成为印度的目标，”Baker说，“如果这是真的，这可能会在很多地方造成尴尬场面。在USCC，很明显是因为他们被印度情报机关入侵了，而在印度情报机关会更甚，因为他们被一批很可能是业余的人入侵了。”
The purported emails between U.S.-China commission staff members, dating from September and October 2011, include discussions of how senior analysts from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence were scheduling a classified briefing for commission officials on a forthcoming National Intelligence Estimate looking at global manufacturing trends.
这些所谓的中美委员会委员的来往邮件，时间上从2011年九月到十月，包括对于国家情报总监办公室中的资深分析师如何计划给委员会官员的分类简报的讨论，分类简报是关于即将来临的着眼于全球生产趋势的《国家情报评估》的。
The messages also contain discussions between commission staff members about legislation pending in Congress related to alleged currency manipulation by China.
这些信息还包括委员之间有关在国会悬而不决的关于有人声称的中国操纵货币的讨论。
In one email, a staff member, reacting to criticism that a China currency bill pending on Capitol Hill would be "ineffective," argues: "Don't make the perfect the enemy of the good; we should confront bullies even if there is a risk we will get punched back."
一名委员在一封电子邮件中回应了“在国会山悬而未决的中国货币法案会是‘无效的’”这一批评，他争论道：“不要让‘完美’成为‘不错’的敌人，我们应该直面欺凌弱小者，尽管我们有可能被暴打。”
The emails are attached to what purports to be a memo dated October 6 and signed by a Colonel Ishwal Singh of India's Directorate General of Military Intelligence, Foreign Division.
这些电子邮件被附加在所谓的日期为10月6日的备忘录上，有某个印度军事情报指挥部海外分部的Ishwal Singh上校的签字。
In the memo, Singh describes how "the President" had given "sanction" to an operation "to gain access to USCC transmittals." What "President" the memo is referring to is not further explained.
在这一备忘录里，Singh形容了“总统”如何“准许”一项“进入USCC传送”的行动。备忘录指的是哪个“总统”（president）还尚未被解释。
According to the memo, because "MI" - presumably Military Intelligence - had trouble accessing U.S.-China commission cyber networks, the "decision was made earlier this year to sign an agreement with mobile manufacturers (MM) in exchange for the Indian market presence."
根据这一备忘录，因为“MI”——推测是军事情报（Military Intelligence）——已经进入了中美委员会的网络，“这个决定在今年早期被做出，为了和移动电话生产商签署一项交换印度市场中存在的协议”。
One U.S. law enforcement official said the commission would be a logical target for intense surveillance by Chinese authorities, since its principal mission was to produce policy studies and recommendations about the U.S.-China relationship.
一个美国司法部门的官员说委员会是对中国当局来说是一个合乎逻辑的严密监视目标，因为它的主要任务是做出政策研究和对中美关系的建议。
In October 2009 the commission produced a detailed study on the "Capability of the People's Republic of China to Conduct Cyber Warfare and Computer Network Exploitation." A spokesman for the commission said it was working on a second study of cyber security issues related to China.
2009年十月，委员会做出了一份关于“中华人民共和国进行网络战争和计算机网络开发的能力”的详细研究。委员会的一名发言人说委员会正在进行有关中国的网络安全问题的第二份研究。 |
