听力原文及翻译

New York City Police Commissioner Edward Caban said he would resign Thursday, one week after it emerged that his phone was seized as part of a federal investigation that touched several members of Mayor Eric Adams' inner circle.

纽约市警察局局长爱德华·卡班表示，他将于周四辞职。一周前，他的手机被扣押，这是一项联邦调查的一部分，该调查涉及纽约市长埃里克·亚当斯的几名核心圈子成员。

Caban said he made the decision to resign after the "news around recent developments" had "created a distraction for our department," according to an email to the police department obtained by The Associated Press.

据美联社获得的一封发给警察局的电子邮件显示，卡班表示，他决定辞职是因为“有关最近事态发展的新闻”已经“分散了我们部门的注意力”。

"I am unwilling to let my attention be on anything other than our important work, or the safety of the men and women of the NYPD," he added.

“我不愿意将注意力放在我们的重要工作或纽约警察局男女警员的安全之外的任何事情上，”他补充道。

It was not immediately clear who will replace Caban as police commissioner. Inquiries to the police department were not returned.

目前尚不清楚谁将接替卡班担任警察局长。警方没有回复询问。
