The response from Standard Charter has been fairly tight-lipped at the moment, of course we have to understand there's an ongoing investigation, particularly internally within the bank, and so they are limited as to what they can say. Right now, they weren't even taking the questions that I wanted to ask earlier. But they did provide us with a statement that reads as follows:
渣打银行此刻的回应可以称得上是守口如瓶。当然我们必须明白，目前调查正在进行，尤其是对银行内部的调查，因此他们能公开发表的言论有限。目前他们甚至还在回避我早前就提到的问题。然而他们也确实做出以下声明：
As reported previously, the group is conducting a review of its historical US sanctions compliance and is discussing that review with US enforcement agencies and regulators. The group cannot predict when this review and these discussions will be completed or what the outcome will be.
正如之前报道所述，渣打集团正在就有史以来美国制裁的合规性进行复核，且同美国执法部门和监管机构讨论这次的复核。渣打集团未能预计这次复核和讨论何时结束，也不知道会有何结论。
In terms of other response, the Treasury said that they're looking at the allegations, they are continuing to sift through the details of it, and if anything comes to light, and they will respond next to it accordingly.
至于其它的回应，财政部门表示他们正在对指控展开调查，他们会继续筛选其中的细节。如果真相大白，他们会根据事实说话。
As terms of what the allegations are, they come from the financial sector of the New York state department, and it is that, Standard Chartered, a UK bank was working for various Iranian financial institutions and channeling money through its US holdings without putting the right flags on it. Because the United States like many other countries has imposed sanctions on Iran for fear that they might use money to finance terrorism or finance a nuclear weapons program. And so if any money is channeled through Iran, it should have the right flags on it, so it can be investigated by US authorities and made sure that it is legitimate. Standard Chartered won't doing that, they were slipping under the net onto their own financial gain, it is serious allegations.
至于指控的罪行是什么，这得由纽约州财政部门说了算。美国怀疑英国的渣打银行与多个伊朗金融公司存在交易，通过美国国债洗黑钱，这违反了美国反洗钱法。和其他国家一样，美国对伊朗实行制裁，以防伊朗用金钱资助恐怖主义或者核武器计划。而且如果资金流向伊朗，必须有正当的渠道。因此美国政府有权展开调查，确保交易的合法性。渣打银行没有做违法的行为，他们是自己财政收入上的漏网之鱼。这是项严重的指控。
