New claims emerged last night over the extent that US intelligence agencies have been monitoring the mobile phone of Angela Merkel. The allegations were made after German secret service officials were already preparing to travel to Washington to seek explanations into the alleged surveillance of its chancellor. 据上周五有关消息称，美国中情局一直在监听德国总理安吉拉·默克尔的手机。消息发布时，德国秘密情报官员已经准备启程前往华盛顿，要求美国当局对监听一事作出解释。 A report in Der Spiegel said Merkel's mobile number had been listed by the NSA's Special Collection Service (SCS) since 2002 and may have been monitored for more than 10 years. It was still on the list weeks before President Barack Obama visited Berlin in June. 据德国《明镜周刊》报道，默克尔的手机号码自2002年起就被收录进了美国国家安全局的特别监控名单之中，而且可能数十年来一直被监听。直到今年6月奥巴马访问德国时，该号码仍未从国安局的监控中删除。 |
