The World Trade Center, located in the heart of Manhattan in New York City, was built in 1966 and instantly became an iconic landmark for the city.

世界貿(mào)易中心,位于紐約市曼哈頓的中心,于1966年建成并立即成為該市的標(biāo)志性建筑。

The Twin Towers, as they were known, stood 1,360-plus feet above ground — each holding 110 floors.

更為人所知的名字是,雙子塔,超過1360多英尺——每座樓都有110層。

On this day in history, Feb. 26, 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed, with more than 1,000 people injured.

在歷史上的這一天,1993年2月26日,世界貿(mào)易中心被炸彈襲擊,造成1000多人受傷。

The morning of Monday, Feb. 26, 1993, was a winter day just like any other in New York — cold and windy, as thousands of people went to work, according to many reports.

根據(jù)多方報道,1993年2月26日,星期一的早晨,和紐約的任何一個冬天一樣——寒冷多風(fēng),當(dāng)成千上萬的人去上班的時候。

Approximately 50,000 people were inside the World Trade Center complex — more than 40,000 of them in the Twin Towers — according to the 9/11 Memorial website.

據(jù)9/11紀(jì)念網(wǎng)站的記錄,當(dāng)時將近有5萬人在世貿(mào)中心綜合大樓內(nèi)——超過4萬人在雙子塔。

At around 12 p.m., a group of terrorists, including a man named Ramzi Yousef, drove a van into the public parking garage below the Towers.

中午12點(diǎn)左右,一群恐怖分子,包括一名名叫拉姆齊·優(yōu)素福(Ramzi Yousef)的男子,駕駛一輛面包車進(jìn)入世貿(mào)下面的公共室內(nèi)停車場。

The van exploded roughly 17 minutes after noon — creating a 100-foot crater within the north tower, according to the FBI's website.

根據(jù)聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局的網(wǎng)站記錄,這輛面包車大約在正午過后17分鐘爆炸,在北塔內(nèi)造成了一個100英尺的大坑。

Six people near the bomb site were almost immediately killed: John DiGiovanni, Robert Kirkpatrick, Stephen A. Knapp, William Macko, Wilfredo Mercado and Monica Rodriguez Smith.

爆炸現(xiàn)場不遠(yuǎn)的六個人幾乎立即被炸死:(名字分別是)約翰·迪喬瓦尼、羅伯特·柯克帕特里克、斯蒂芬·a·納普、威廉·麥科、威爾弗雷多·梅爾卡多和莫妮卡·羅德里格斯·史密斯。

炸彈爆炸時,股票交易員蒂莫西·朗正在停車。

"I was physically lifted off my feet and thrown through the air … My entire body was compressed as though being squeezed completely," he recalled to the 9/11 Memorial Museum.

他向9/11紀(jì)念博物館回憶道:“我的身體被托起,拋向空中……我的整個身體都被壓緊了,好像被完全擠扁了一樣?!?/b>

爆炸發(fā)生在1993年2月26日中午左右,地點(diǎn)在紐約市中心。

The mastermind behind the bombing was Ramzi Yousef, who arrived in New York nearly five and a half months prior after learning how to make a bomb in Afghanistan, according to the 9/11 Memorial.

根據(jù)9/11紀(jì)念館的記錄,爆炸事件的幕后策劃者是拉姆齊·優(yōu)素福(Ramzi Yousef),他在阿富汗學(xué)習(xí)如何制造炸彈后,大約五個半月前抵達(dá)紐約。

He was working with six other terrorists.

他和其他六名恐怖分子合作。

In July 1993, the Department of State offered a $2 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Yousef, according to the State Department's website.

根據(jù)美國國務(wù)院網(wǎng)站記錄,1993年7月,美國國務(wù)院懸賞200萬美元緝拿優(yōu)素福。

By this time, Yousef had disappeared underground.

這時,優(yōu)素福已經(jīng)消失隱匿了。

"U.S. law enforcement officials believed that Yousef had escaped to Pakistan, but they had little reliable information about his location," the State Department website notes.

美國國務(wù)院網(wǎng)站指出:“美國執(zhí)法官員認(rèn)為優(yōu)素福已經(jīng)逃到了巴基斯坦,但關(guān)于他位置的可靠信息少的可憐?!?/b>

Yousef was later captured in Feb. 1995 and convicted two years later, says the FBI's website.

1995年2月,優(yōu)素福被捕,兩年后被定罪。

1993年2月26日,在一場針對曼哈頓的地標(biāo)性建筑令人震驚的襲擊中,世界貿(mào)易中心遭到了炸彈襲擊。

This would not be the only attack on the Twin Towers.

這不是針對雙子塔的唯一一次襲擊。

Almost 3,000 people were killed on Sept. 11, 2001, in terrorist attacks that shocked the world and triggered major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism, notes History.com.

2001年9月11日,近3000人在恐怖襲擊中喪生,這場恐怖襲擊震驚了世界,并引發(fā)了美國打擊恐怖主義的重大舉措,History.com記錄到。

The 1993 attack on the World Trade Center was a deadly precursor to the larger attacks of 2001.

1993年對世貿(mào)中心的襲擊是2001年更大規(guī)模襲擊的致命前奏。

"We later learned from Yousef that his Trade Center plot was far more sinister," notes the FBI.

“我們后來從優(yōu)素福那里得知,他的貿(mào)易中心密謀要陰險得多,”聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局記錄到。

"He wanted the bomb to topple one tower, with the collapsing debris knocking down the second."

“他想用炸彈推倒一座塔,讓坍塌的碎片撞倒第二座塔?!?/b>

The site continues, "The attack turned out to be something of a deadly dress rehearsal for 9/11; with the help of Yousef’s uncle Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, al-Qaeda would later return to realize Yousef’s nightmarish vision."

該網(wǎng)站繼續(xù)寫道:“這次襲擊最終變成911事件的一次致命彩排; 在優(yōu)素福叔叔哈立德·謝赫·穆罕默德的幫助下,基地組織后來卷土重來,實(shí)現(xiàn)了優(yōu)素福的噩夢構(gòu)想?!?/b>
