Human rights officials put the number closer to 500,000, and some Iraqi political parties estimate more than 1 million were executed. Without exhumations of those graves, it is impossible to confirm a figure. Scientists told The Associated Press during a recent investigation that they have confirmed 41 mass graves on a list of suspected sites that currently includes 270 locations. Forensic teams will begin to exhume four of those graves next month in search of evidence for crimes against genocide.<br><br> 【参考译文】此前，美国占领军声称至少有30万民众死于活埋，人权组织却声称有近50万人被杀，而一些伊拉克政党则表示有100万人死于萨达姆政权之手。当然，如果不对集体坟墓进行挖掘的话，这些数字就无法得以证明。科学家向美联社透露说，最近对大型坟墓的270处可疑地点进行调查中，其中41处已经得到证实。下月，法医专家将对其中四处进行挖掘，寻找萨达姆政权灭绝种族的大屠杀的犯罪证据。<br><br> 【讲解】exhume, To remove from a grave, disinter.掘出从坟墓中挖出、挖掘，另外也可以用来指从默默无闻的状态中发现出来。<br><br> Genocide means the systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political, or ethnic group.种族屠杀有组织地、蓄意地进行的对整个国家、种族、政治或文化群体的灭绝.<br> <br> <br><br> 作者: BROKEDOWN 时间: 20.12.2003 19:22
