英国核潜艇发生枪击事件 起因是与领导“抢厕所”

The Times of London said a row over a toilet triggered the shooting.
英国泰晤士报道说,枪击源于跟厕所有关的争执。

A Ministry of Defence source told the Times, "With civic dignitaries on board, toilet arrangements were stretched to the absolute limit. I'm told the rating said he urgently needed to attend a call of nature only to be ordered to allow visitors first use of a toilet near the control room. It appears that matters suddenly got out of hand and shots were fired."
国防部一位知情人说:“因为有政要前来参观,潜艇中的厕所不够用了,所以安排政要们先上,士兵们后上。然而一名憋急了的士兵等不及了,所以开枪射击。”

Later, the leader of Southampton Council, Royston Smith, described to the BBC how he was in the control room when "someone entered, there was an exchange of words, very brief, and he stepped out." Two shots were then fired, he said.
南安普敦市议会领袖史密斯告诉BBC,当时他就在控制室,有人进来了,发生短暂的争执,最后他走出去,很快就传来两声枪声。

The injured officer, whose condition was originally described as life-threatening, was later upgraded to stable, police said.
警方称受伤的官员伤势已经稳定下来。

About 30 people were believed to be aboard the £1.2 billion ($1.9 billion) submarine, reportedly the most advanced vessel of its kind in the world, when the gunfire erupted at midday local time.
当天敏捷号上共有30余人。枪击事件发生在中午的时候。敏捷号据称是世界上最先进的核潜艇。

British Defense Minister Liam Fox said, "I am greatly saddened to hear of this incident and of the death of a Royal Navy service person in this tragic incident. My thoughts and sympathies are with those who have been affected and their families."
国防部长Liam Fox说:“我对此次枪击事件感到非常震惊,并对这名逝世官员的家庭表示慰问,哀悼那些在此次事件中受到影响的人们。”
