NPR丹尼尔·兹沃德林报道。
"The obvious question, of course, is this:
“当然，显而易见的问题是：
Is Jess Moore leaving his job and taking a year off work because of the Challenger accident?
杰斯·穆尔离开他的工作岗位，休假一年，是因为挑战者号事故吗？
More came under quite a bit of pressure before a congressional committee early this summer
今年夏初，在国会委员会的重重压力面前，更多详情暴露出来，
when his former assistant testified that he told Moore in detail almost a year ago that there were serious problems with the shuttle rocket's O-rings,
他的前助手作证说，他几乎一年前就详细告知穆尔，航天飞机的O形环存在严重问题。
the same O-rings that eventually caused the Challenger accident.
而最终导致挑战者号发生事故的正是那几个O形环。
That testimony flatly contradicted what Moore's been saying all along:
那证词完全与穆尔一直以来的陈词完全相悖：
that he did not know the O-ring problems were serious until after the Challenger exploded.
直到挑战者号爆炸后，他才知道O形环问题严重。
Congressional sources who've interviewed Moore told me that they have no way of knowing just who's telling the truth,
国会人士已经采访过穆尔，并告诉我，他们无法获知谁说的是真话，
Moore, or Moore's former assistant.
穆尔，还是穆尔以前的助手。

says the NASA veteran's been depressed since the Challenger blew up.

He says, 'Moore doesn't have the edge the used to.
他说：“穆尔失去了以前的优势。
He's hollow inside, just like a lot of guys NASA who worked on the shuttle.
他内心空虚，就像许多曾在航天飞机上工作的宇航员一样。
'Jess Moore,' the aide says, 'is not the man he was before the accident,
“杰斯·穆尔，”助手说，“出事后他完全变了个人，
and he needs a rest.' I'm daniel Zwerdling in Washington."
他需要休息。”我是丹尼尔·兹沃德林，华盛顿报道。
