U.S. issues global travel warning
美发布全球旅行警告 称恐怖袭击迫在眉睫
The U.S. State Department issues a travel warning -- to the world. It warns Americans that al Qaeda may be planning attacks in August, "particularly in the Middle East and North Africa," according to a statement. It prompted the U.S. to close 21 U.S. embassies and consulates this Sunday, including Afghanistan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, U.S. security sources say there is no single target and that the advisory applies more broadly to Western interests. But travelers at the Capital's largest airport, Washington Dulles International, didn't let the threat get in the way of their destination Friday.
美国国务院向全世界发布了旅行警告。该声明警告美国人，基地组织可能计划在八月份发动袭击，“尤其是在中东和北非地区”。周日，国务院敦促美国关闭驻21个国家和地区的大使馆和领事馆，包括阿富汗，埃及和沙特阿拉伯。美国安全部门称，目标并不是单一的，该公告适用于所有西方国家。但是周五，首都最大的机场华盛顿杜勒斯国际机场没有让这种威胁阻碍他们的飞行。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) HERSHEY, PENNSYLVANIA RESIDENT NATHAN BRANDEBURG SAYING: "I'm not too afraid to travel, especially with security the way it is. I mean we're traveling with a lot of gear as well and we have to go through all the security so I know what it's like. It doesn't really bother me too much."
宾西法尼亚州赫许市居民NATHAN BRANDEBURG：“我并不害怕旅行，尤其是有许多安全保障的情况下。我的意思是我们旅行会携带许装备，而且我们必须经过许多安检程序。这个警告并没有给我造成太大困扰。”
(SOUNDBITE) (English) MARTINSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA RESIDENT JAMES MELBY SAYING: "It's concerning but at the same time because of where I'm going I'm not too concerned about it. I will go. I will still fly and do our cruise so... yeah but if I was going to the Middle East, yeah I would cancel my flight. I would not go anywhere, North Africa, Middle East, I wouldn't do it."
西佛吉尼亚马丁斯堡居民JAMES MELBY：“是非常令人担忧，但是同时，由于我的旅行目的地不同，我并不是特别担忧。我会去。我仍然会乘坐飞机，进行全球旅行。但是如果是去中东，我会取消航班。我不会去北非和中东的任何地方，坚决不会。”
The worldwide warning isn't out of the ordinary. The State Department regularly issues what it calls "Worldwide Caution" warnings to U.S. citizens, alerting them of the general potential danger of attacks around the world. One U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Friday's travel alert was based on more specific information. The last "Worldwide Caution" was issued on February 19.
美国发布的全球预警并不罕见。国务院经常向其公民发布“全球预警”，向他们警告世界各地可能出现的潜在袭击危险。一位匿名接受采访的美国官员表示，周五的旅行禁令是基于更加具体的信息。国务院上次发布“全球警告”是在2月19日。
