《明鏡》雜誌的記者兼編輯克勞斯·雷洛蒂烏斯承認，在該雜誌的調查之後，他編造了至少14篇報道的部分內容。該出版物稱，該雜誌「標誌著明鏡周刊70年歷史上的一個低谷」。(YouTube)

The German news magazine Der Spiegel announced Saturday it will file a criminal complaint against former reporter Claas Relotius, who admitted to making up interviews and facts in at least 14 articles he wrote for the respected publication.

德國新聞雜誌《明鏡》周六宣布，將對前記者克勞斯·雷洛蒂烏斯提起刑事訴訟。他承認，在為這份受人尊敬的刊物中，他至少有14篇文章中存在捏造內容的行為。

In an unsigned article, the magazine reported that Relotius, 33, had solicited donations from readers to benefit two Syrian orphans he"d profiled in July 2016. The article added that Relotius allegedly sent the solicitous emails from a private account and requested that the donations be transferred to his personal bank account.

在一篇未署名的文章中，該雜誌報道稱，33歲的雷洛修斯曾向讀者募捐，以幫助他在2016年7月描述的兩名敘利亞孤兒。這篇文章還補充說雷洛修斯據稱從一個私人賬戶發送了令人關心的電子郵件，並要求將捐款轉移到他的個人銀行賬戶。

Der Spiegel said it was not immediately clear how many people donated in response to Relotius" plea, how much money was raised or what Relotius did with the funds.

《明鏡周刊》表示，目前尚不清楚有多少人對的請求做出了捐贈，籌集了多少資金，以及雷洛修斯是如何使用這些資金的。

The article in question focused on two siblings, a 12-year-old boy named Ahmed and a 13-year-old girl named Alin. Relotius wrote that the siblings" parents had died in Syria"s ongoing civil war and the children were struggling to support themselves through menial labor in Turkey. According to Der Speigel, a Turkish photographer who briefly accompanied Relotius on the assignment has claimed that the journalist falsified parts of the boy"s biography, falsely claiming that the boy"s mother was dead.

這篇文章關注的是兩個兄弟姐妹，一個12歲的男孩叫艾哈邁德，一個13歲的女孩叫阿林。雷洛修斯寫道，這對兄弟姐妹的父母死於敘利亞持續不斷的內戰，而孩子們則在土耳其通過卑賤的勞動來維持自己的生計。據土耳其攝影師迪爾·斯佩吉爾說，他曾短暫陪同雷洛修斯執行任務，聲稱這名記者偽造了男孩傳記的部分內容，錯誤地聲稱男孩的母親已經死亡。

Furthermore, Der Spiegel said, the character of Alin -- who in Relotius" telling worked 14-hour days in a sweatshop -- may not exist at all. The magazine noted that Ahmed did not have a sister to whom Relotious" description applied and the photographer never met the girl.

此外，《明鏡周刊》說，阿林這個人物可能根本不存在-她在雷洛休斯的敘述中每天在血汗工廠工作14個小時。該雜誌指出，艾哈邁德沒有描述中的這樣一位妹妹，而攝影師從來沒有見過這個女孩。

Der Speigel has since attached an editor"s note to the story, as it has with all of Relotius" reporting, saying that there are "strong suspicions that reporting by Claas Relotius included fabrications and manipulation.

德爾·斯皮格爾在報道中附上了一位編輯的筆記，就像它對雷洛休斯的所有報道一樣，他說「人們強烈懷疑克勞斯·雷洛蒂烏斯的報道包括捏造和隨意篡改事實。」

"DER SPIEGEL is conducting an investigation into all evidence and information and is leaving all the articles in their current state in its archive until the allegations have been clarified to a large extent, in part also to allow for transparency in this research," the note read, concluding with a request for further information. Relotius wrote close to 60 articles for the publication before he was fired last week.

《明鏡周刊》正在對所有證據和信息進行調查，並將所有文章保留在檔案中，直到在很大程度上澄清了這些指控，部分原因也是為了提高調查的透明度，「該說明最後寫道，並要求提供更多信息。」在上周被解僱之前，雷洛休斯為該出版物撰寫了近60篇文章。

On Friday, U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell called for an independent investigation of Relotius, who wrote several of his fabricated articles about America. Grenell also accused the magazine of anti-American bias, a charge the magazine dismissed.

周五，美國駐德國大使理查德·格勒內爾呼籲對雷洛休斯進行獨立調查，他撰寫了幾篇關於美國的虛假文章。格勒內爾還指責該雜誌存在反美偏見，該雜誌駁回了這一指控。

"We apologize to all American citizens who were insulted or denigrated by these articles. We are very sorry. This never should have happened," deputy editor-in-chief Dirk Kurbjuweit wrote to Grenell on Sunday. However, the editor added: "When we criticize the American president, this does not amount to anti-American bias -- it is criticism of the policies of the man currently in office in the White House. Anti-Americanism is deeply alien to me and I am absolutely aware of what Germany has the U.S to thank for: a whole lot. DER SPIEGEL harbors no institutional bias against the United States."

「我們向所有被這些文章侮辱或詆毀的美國公民道歉。我們非常抱歉。這是不應該發生的，」副主編德克·庫爾布朱維特周日寫信給格勒內爾。然而，這位編輯補充道：「當我們批評美國總統時，這並不等於反美偏見-這是對目前在白宮任職的人的政策的批評。反美主義對我來說是非常陌生的，我絕對知道德國在很多事情上需要感謝美國。《明鏡》對美國沒有任何體制上的偏見。「

"One reporter was able to publish anti-American propaganda for years without an editor or fact-checker?!" Grenell tweeted Sunday. "It』s absurd for them to pretend this is only about one reporter."

「一位記者多年來在沒有編輯或事實審查員的情況下發表了反美宣傳？」格勒內爾周日在推特上發了言。「他們假裝這件事情只和這一個記者相關，這是很荒謬的。」
