We`re starting today with a tale of two threats.

今天我们首先谈论一下两起威胁事件。

One was in America`s second largest school district, in Los Angeles, California. After getting what a school official called an electronic threat, the superintendent of the L.A. Unified School District cancelled all classes yesterday. It impacted more than 640,000 students in more than 900 schools.

一起事件发生在加利福尼亚州洛杉矶美国第二大校区。学校官员称这起事件为电子威胁事件，之后，昨日洛杉矶联合校区停课。这对900多所学校64万多名学生造成了影响。

A similar threat was made yesterday in the nation`s largest school district in New York City. Officials there called that threat a hoax and kept school in session for more than a million students. No one was hurt in either system as a result of the threats.

昨日，纽约市全国最大的校区发生了类似的威胁事件。当地官员称这是一个骗局，学校100多万学生会继续上课。在两起威胁事件中，没有任何人员受伤。

Some people criticized the L.A. Superintendent for overreacting, while others said he did the right thing. The district gets threats all the time, but while officials in New York called their threat generic and outlandish, those in L.A. called theirs rare. And after the December 2nd terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California, which is 60 miles away from Los Angeles, L.A. officials said they were taking no chances.

一些人员评论洛杉矶校区负责人反应过度，但是其他人员称洛杉矶负责人这样做是正确的。这个地区经常受到威胁，但是纽约官员称，纽约受到威胁是虽然很奇怪，但是是常事，而洛杉矶接受到威胁是罕见的。12月2日，加利福尼亚圣贝纳迪诺发生袭击案。而恐怖袭击的地点距离洛杉矶仅有60英里远。洛杉矶官员称，他们绝不会冒任何遭受恐怖袭击的风险。

Based on past circumstances, I could not take the chance, as it relates to one student or our staff that served our students.

根据以前发生的事件，我不会冒任何的风险。因为这关系到我们的学生以及为学生服务的教职人员。

Americans convicted of making bomb threats to schools can get prison sentences as long as 10 years. Most states allow minors to be tried as adults and other penalties can include school suspension.

美国判定恐怖威胁炸学校，判定10年有期徒刑。大多数州允许未成年人可被视为成年人接受处罚，其中的处罚包括停学。
