普京稱斯諾登仍在莫斯科 不會移交給美國

Russian president brings end to mystery over whistleblower's whereabouts after days of confusion。
俄羅斯總統結束了多日來對於告密者行蹤的各種猜想。

The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has revealed that the surveillance whistleblower Edward Snowden is indeed in a Moscow airport, ending a global guessing game over the US fugitive's whereabouts.
俄羅斯總統普京日前稱，被嚴密監控的告密者愛德華·斯諾登實際上正身處莫斯科機場，以此結束了全球對於美國逃亡者行蹤的猜謎遊戲。

The admission reversed days of Russian obfuscation and came just hours after Putin's foreign minister said Russia had nothing to do with Snowden's travel plans.
這與連日來俄羅斯的模糊表態大相徑庭，在俄羅斯外交大使稱俄羅斯與斯諾登的行程計劃沒有關係的幾個小時後，普京就做出了此番對於斯諾登行蹤的承認。

Putin said Snowden remained in Sheremetyevo airport's transit area and vowed that Moscow would not extradite the whistleblower to the US. He also insisted that Russia's security services had no contact with Snowden.
普京稱斯諾登仍處在謝列梅捷沃國際機場的過境區，並稱莫斯科方面是不會將告密者引渡給美國的。他還堅稱俄羅斯的安全部門與斯諾登並無聯繫。

"Mr Snowden really did fly into Moscow," he said on an official visit to Finland on Tuesday. "For us it was completely unexpected," he claimed.
普京在週二對芬蘭的正式訪問中稱：“斯諾登確實飛到了莫斯科，這對於我們來說完全是始料未及的。”

The White House responded on Tuesday by saying Russia had a "clear legal basis" to expel Snowden, which National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said was the status of his travel documents – the US has revoked his passport – and the pending espionage charges against him.
白宮週二迴應稱。俄羅斯具有“明確法律依據”驅逐斯諾登，國家安全委員會發言人海頓所指的依據具體是指斯諾登的旅行證件——美國已經吊銷了他的護照——以及對於他未定間諜身份的控告。

"Accordingly, we are asking the Russian government to take action to expel Mr. Snowden without delay." she said.
海頓稱：“據此，我們要求俄羅斯政府立刻驅逐斯諾登。”
