2024考研英语同源外刊3月:智利机场抢劫未遂

An airport shootout in Chile's capital killed a security officer and an alleged robber Wednesday in what authorities said was an attempted heist of more than $32 million in cash aboard a plane from Miami. Around 10 heavily armed robbers were able to skirt security measures to reach the runway at the Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, where a Latam airlines aircraft had $32.5 million in cash that was being transferred to an armored truck, Interior Subsecretary Manuel Monsalve said.

周三，智利首都机场发生枪战，一名安保人员和一名劫匪被击毙，当局称这是一起从迈阿密起飞的飞机上超过3200万美元现金的抢劫未遂事件。内政部副部长曼努埃尔·蒙萨尔维(Manuel Monsalve)说，大约10名全副武装的劫匪得以绕过安全措施，到达阿图罗·梅里诺·贝尼特斯国际机场(Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport)的跑道，在那里，拉美航空公司(Latam Airlines)的一架飞机载有3250万美元的现金，这些现金正被转移到一辆装甲卡车上。

There was a shootout between the would-be robbers and security officials that killed an employee of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, or DGAC, as well as an alleged assailant. The other robbers fled. Two burned vehicles were later found nearby. “The brave action by the DGAC officials frustrated the robbery,” Monsalve said, noting that the would-be robbers were “highly organized” and “very armed.”

劫匪和安全官员之间发生枪战，导致民航总局(DGAC)的一名雇员和一名被指控的袭击者死亡。其他劫匪逃走了。随后在附近发现了两辆被烧毁的车辆。“DGAC官员的勇敢行动挫败了这起抢劫案，”蒙萨尔维说，并指出这些劫匪“组织严密”，“全副武装”。

Video posted on social media appeared to show bullet holes in a Delta plane that was parked next to the Latam aircraft that was targeted. Another video appears to show a moment in the shootout during which a lot of gunshots can be heard. The attempted heist targeted the $32.5 million that were set to be transferred to an armored truck to then be distributed to several banks in the South American country.

社交媒体上发布的视频显示，一架达美航空公司(Delta)的飞机上有弹孔，这架飞机停在被袭击的拉美航空公司(Latam)的飞机旁边。另一段视频似乎显示了枪战中的一个时刻，在此期间可以听到很多枪声。这次未遂抢劫的目标是3250万美元，这些钱将被转移到一辆装甲卡车上，然后分发给这个南美国家的几家银行。
