Attorney Sidney Powell, now distanced from the president’s legal team after sharing bizarre claims about election fraud, filed lawsuits on Wednesday in Michigan and Georgia.
律师西德尼·鲍威尔(Sidney Powell)周三在密歇根州和佐治亚州提起诉讼。鲍威尔在分享了关于选举舞弊的离奇指控后，现在与总统的法律团队保持距离。
Her complaints, which allege election fraud, are conspicuously riddled with misspelled words, garbled sentences, and formatting issues.
她的投诉声称选举舞弊，明显充斥着拼写错误、句子乱码和格式问题。
The Georgia filing comes several days after the state certified its election results following a hand recount of all 5 million ballots cast. Another recount requested by the Trump campaign is now underway in Georgia and will be concluded by 2 December. It is considered highly unlikely to change the result.
佐治亚州提交申请的几天前，该州在手工重新计票所有500万张选票后，证实了选举结果。特朗普竞选团队要求的另一次重新计票目前正在佐治亚州进行，将于12月2日结束。这被认为是极不可能改变结果的。
The lawsuits are apparently what Ms Powell meant when she said that she would challenge the presidential result by “releasing the kraken” – a phrase she used at a press conference with fellow Trump attorneys, Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis.
这些诉讼显然就是鲍威尔说她将通过“释放克拉肯”来挑战总统选举结果的意思--这是她在与特朗普的律师同事鲁迪·朱利安尼(Rudy Giuliani)和珍娜·埃利斯(Jenna Ellis)一起举行的新闻发布会上使用的措辞。
After the two lead lawyers issued a statement saying that Ms Powell was no longer part of the campaign’s legal team, she responded with her own remarks, using the hashtag “#KrakenOnSteroids".
在两位首席律师发表声明称鲍威尔不再是竞选法律团队的一员后，鲍威尔用自己的言论做出回应，并使用了#KrakenOnSterids(#克拉肯类固醇)的标签。
Ms Powell has posted links to the Georgia and Michigan suits on her website with the words, “The Kraken is released on Georgia!" and “The Kraken is released on Michigan!”
鲍威尔在她的网站上发布了佐治亚州和密歇根州西装的链接，并写道：“海怪在佐治亚州上映！”和“海怪在密歇根上映！”
Ms Powell’s complaint in Georgia names several plaintiffs, including the Republican governor, Brian Kemp, and secretary of state Brad Raffensperger.
鲍威尔在佐治亚州的起诉书列举了几名原告，包括共和党州长布莱恩·坎普(Brian Kemp)和国务卿布拉德·拉芬斯伯格(Brad Raffensperger)。
It makes extravagant claims about the integrity of the result, and focuses heavily on theories of rigged or tampered voting machines provided by Dominion – a company that has been the target of pro-Trump conspiracy theorists since it became clear that the election results were beginning to favour Mr Biden.
它夸大其词地宣称选举结果的完整性，并将重点放在Dominion提供的投票机受到操纵或篡改的理论上。自从选举结果明显开始有利于拜登以来，Dominion一直是支持特朗普的阴谋论者的目标。
The lawsuit claims to demonstrate problems with the state’s electoral machinery so serious that “at a minimum, 96,600 votes must be disregarded”.
这起诉讼声称，该州的选举机制存在严重问题，以至于“至少有9.66万张选票必须被忽视”。
The filing also demands that authorities “set aside the 2020 General Election results which fraudulently concluded that Mr Biden defeated President Trump by 12,670 votes”.
这份文件还要求当局“搁置2020年大选结果，该结果虚假地得出结论，拜登以12670票的优势击败了特朗普总统”。
The complaint shows signs of having been hastily assembled without proofreading. The word “district” is misspelled twice on the first-page header alone (as “districct” and then “distrcoict”).
起诉书显示出未经校对就匆忙汇编的迹象。单单在第一页的标题上，“区”这个词就拼错了两次(先拼成了“District ct”，然后又拼错了“didicoict”)。
Some sentences appear to have been spliced together, erroneously divided with misplaced full stops or end with closing quotation marks that were never opened.
有些句子似乎是拼接在一起的，错误地用错误的句号分隔，或者以从未打开过的右引号结束。
The Michigan lawsuit appears to have had formatting issues, Bloomberg reported, removing the spaces between words.
据彭博社(Bloomberg)报道，密歇根州的诉讼似乎存在格式问题，删除了单词之间的空格。
The pro-Trump legal efforts to overturn the Georgia result have been met with resistance and irritation from the state’s officials, as the basis of the lawsuits and recount requests morph from one claim to another.
支持特朗普的推翻佐治亚州选举结果的法律努力遭到了该州官员的抵制和愤怒，因为诉讼和重新计票要求的基础从一种说法变成了另一种说法。
The secretary of state’s office told Fox 5 Atlanta: “It's like playing whack-a-mole. Every time we hear one thing, we knock it down.
国务卿办公室告诉福克斯5台亚特兰大电视台：“这就像在玩打鼹鼠游戏。每次我们听到一件事，我们就把它打倒。
“They first said Dominion's flipping votes. We did a hand audit. Dominion wasn't flipping votes. Well, now it's these were illegal votes that were cast. What evidence do you have of that? ‘Well, we feel like it was.’”
“他们先是说多米尼恩在翻转选票。我们做了一次手工审计。多明尼翁没有翻转选票。现在这些都是非法投票。你有什么证据证明这一点吗？“嗯，我们觉得是这样的。”
Besides her work on behalf of Mr Trump, Ms Powell serves as an attorney for Michael Flynn, who has now been pardoned by Mr Trump after twice pleading guilty to lying to the FBI.
除了代表特朗普工作外，鲍威尔还担任迈克尔·弗林(Michael Flynn)的律师。在两次承认向联邦调查局(FBI)撒谎后，弗林现已被特朗普赦免。
