奧巴馬奧蘭多槍擊案講話:對美國價值觀的襲擊

The attack is the worst mass shooting in recent US history.
這起襲擊案是美國近代歷史上最嚴重的大規模槍擊事件。

Fifty people are now known to have died in a shooting in a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, the city's mayor Buddy Dyer has said. Another 53 people were injured in the shooting.
目前有50人在福羅裏達州奧蘭多的同性戀酒吧“脈動”被槍殺，該城市的市長巴迪·戴爾說道。另外有53人在這起槍擊案中受傷。

The gunman, named by officials as Omar Mateen, was killed after taking hostages at the Pulse club.
官方給出的槍手的名字是奧馬爾·馬丁，他在劫持人質後在脈動酒吧被殺。

Mateen's father Mir Seddique told NBC News that the incident had nothing to do with religion, and may have been triggered by the sight of a gay couple kissing in Miami.
奧馬爾·馬丁的父親沙迪克告訴NBC新聞，這起案件與宗教信仰無關，他認爲也許是他的兒子在邁阿密看到同性戀情侶接吻的場景引發了兒子的憤怒。

Mr Obama described the attack as "the brutal murder of dozens of innocent people". "It was an act of terror and an act of hate," he said, adding that it was a heartbreaking day for the LGBT community.
奧巴馬總統形容這起襲擊是“對數位無辜人民殘忍的謀殺”。“這是恐怖和仇恨的行徑，”奧巴馬補充道，這是同性戀人羣令人心碎的一天。

Mr Obama has ordered flags on federal buildings to be flown at half mast until sunset on Thursday.
奧巴馬總統下令在直到星期四落日之前，在白宮降半旗致哀。
