| The U.S. government said on Tuesday that Osama bin Laden was not armed when U.S. special forces stormed his compound in Pakistan but he did resist before he was shot, Reuters reports. |
据路透社报道，美国政府周二表示，美国特种部队突袭奥萨马•本•拉登位于巴基斯坦的住所时，他身上并没有武器，但他在被击毙前确有抗争。 |
| White House spokesman Jay Carney said that U.S. forces found three families, including bin Laden's, at two different buildings in the compound. |
白宫发言人杰伊•卡尼表示，美国部队在这处住所的两栋楼房里发现三家人，其中有本•拉登一家。 |
| Commandos cleared the building where one family lived, while another team entered the first floor of bin Laden's house. On that floor U.S. forces killed two al Qaeda couriers along with a woman. The commandos then found bin Laden and his family on the second and third floor of the house. |
突击队先清空了一家人所住的楼房，而另一队进入本•拉登房子的底层。在那层，美国部队打死了两名基地组织的情报员和一名妇女。突击队然后在房子的第二层和第三层发现了本•拉登及其家人。 |
| "There was concern that bin Laden would oppose the capture operation and, indeed, he resisted," Carney said. "A woman ... bin Laden’s wife, rushed the U.S. assaulter and was shot in the leg but not killed. Bin Laden was then shot and killed. He was not armed." |
卡尼说：“我们担心对此次抓捕行动本•拉登会有所反抗，他也确实做了抗争。一名妇女……即本•拉登的妻子突然袭击美国突击队员，腿上中了一枪，但没被打死。随后，本•拉登受枪击，被打死。他身上没有武器。” |

U.S. officials have repeatedly emphasized the bin Laden's resistance to explain why he was killed instead of captured.

美国官员一再强调，正是由于本•拉登反抗，才致使其没有被生擒而是被击毙。 |
