斯諾登表態:願意回國坐牢!

Edward Snowden says he has offered to return to the United States and go to jail for leaking details of National Security Agency programs to intercept electronic communications data on a vast scale.

愛德華·斯諾登稱願意回美國坐牢，此前美國國家安全局開展大規模電子通訊監控活動，他泄露了這些項目的細節內容。

Snowden told the BBC that he'd "volunteered to go to prison with the government many times," but had not received a formal plea-deal offer.

斯諾登告訴BBC稱：“他已經主動向美國政府提出回國坐牢，但還沒有收到正式的認罪協議。”

He said that "so far they've said they won't torture me, which is a start, I think. But we haven't gotten much further than that."

他說：“目前爲止，他們承諾不會對我施加酷刑，我認爲這只是個開端，但我們還沒有達到那種地步。”

In an interview broadcast Monday on the BBC's "Panorama" program, Snowden said he and his lawyers were waiting for US officials "to call us back."

週一，出現在BBC一檔名爲《全景》的訪談節目中時，斯諾登表示他和他的律師正等候美國政府的“召回”。

Earlier this year, former US Attorney General Eric Holder said a plea deal with Snowden was a possibility.

今年早些時候，美國前司法部部長埃裏克·霍爾德表示，斯諾登有可能會面臨一份認罪協議。

Snowden's revelations about the NSA, Britain's GCHQ and other intelligence agencies set off an international debate about spies' powers to monitor personal communications, and about the balance between security and privacy.

斯諾登對美國安全局、英國通訊總部和其他一些情報機構的泄密，在全球引發了間諜監控私人通信的權力，以及平衡安全和隱私之間關係的熱議。

Critics say his disclosures harmed the ability of the United States and its allies to fight terrorism. FBI deputy director Mark Giuliano told the BBC that Snowden was a traitor.

評論者指出，斯諾登的泄密損害了美國及其盟友打擊恐怖主義的力量。美國聯邦調查局副局長馬克·朱利亞諾對BBC稱斯諾登是叛徒。

"The question is, if I was a traitor, who did I betray?" Snowden said. "I gave all of my information to American journalists and free society generally."

“問題是，如果我是叛徒，那我背叛了誰？”斯諾登說：“我毫無保留地將所有信息公佈給美國的記者和自由的社會。”

"I have paid a price but I feel comfortable with the decisions I've made," he added. "If I'm gone tomorrow, I'm happy with what I had. I feel blessed."

“做出這樣的決定，我爲此付出了代價，但我感到很滿意。”他還說：“如果明天我死了，我會對自己做出的事情感到開心，也很慶幸。”

2015年9月24日，斯諾登通過視頻連線參與在紐約曼哈頓舉行的一場討論並發表講話，討論有關個人隱私權的國際條約、不恰當監視對個人隱私權利侵犯、以及對泄密者的保護等。

The event, hosted by global advocacy group Avaaz, was held to coincide with the United Nations General Assembly.

該活動由全球倡導組織阿瓦茲舉辦，而此時恰逢聯合國大會召開之際。
