英国女王还曾被行刺?保密工作做得太好!

  In 1981, a 17-year-old tried to assassinate the Queen, according to
documents that remained secret until now. The documents, which were from New
Zealand's intelligence agency, detail a plot by the teenager, Christopher Lewis,
who tried to kill monarch while she was on a trip to Dunedin, New Zealand, on
October 14 of that year.
          据某媒体报导,一份秘密文件显示,1981年一名17岁少年曾试图暗杀女王。新西兰情报机关公布的一份文件显示,当年10月14日,英国女王伊丽莎白二世访问新西兰时,一名叫克里斯托弗·李维斯的少年曾试图暗杀她。
          Lewis, who is described in the documents as “severely disturbed,” shot at
the Queen as she got out of her vehicle. According to the Sydney Morning Herald,
he hid in a deserted restroom cubicle on the fifth floor of a building
overlooking her parade, but his shot didn't go anywhere near the monarch.
          此人名为李维斯,文件显示他
“患有精神障碍”。在女王乘车游览南岛的达尼丁市时,李维斯藏在附近一幢建筑的5楼的废弃休息室中,朝女王的座车开了一枪,但并无任何皇室成员受伤。
          Crowds and reporters heard the sound, and were told it wasn't a gunshot,
but instead a sign falling over.
          人们听到了枪响,但警方否认了这一说法,但仍做出了倒伏的动作。
          Lewis was charged with unlawful possession and discharge of a firearm, but
he wasn’t charged with treason or attempted murder; police told reporters he
shot at a nearby road.
          李维斯因非法持有以及使用枪支而受到指控,但检察官并未指控他谋杀或是试图谋杀,警方称他射击的目标是附近的街道 。
          He was sentenced to three years behind bars, and according to The
Australian, he spent some of that time plotting to kill Prince Charles.
          媒体报道,李维斯被判三年监禁,期间他还计划着谋杀查尔斯王子。
          After he was released, authorities kept a close watch on his activity
during major events.
          获释后,在重要场合,李维斯的举动仍旧受到当局的监视。
          More than 10 years after the assassination attempt, Lewis was charged with
the murder of a mother in Auckland and the abduction of her baby daughter.
          在李维斯试图谋杀未遂过去了10年多后,他再一次因在奥克兰谋杀一名母亲并诱拐其女儿而受到指控。
          He electrocuted himself in prison in 1997 before his murder trial began. A
suicide note denied the charges against him.
          因他曾在1997年谋杀实验前对自己实施电击。这种自杀倾向推翻了对他的指控。
