當?shù)貢r間1月30日，美國司法部公布已故美國富商、性犯罪者杰弗里·愛潑斯坦案相關(guān)調(diào)查材料的最后一批文件。

總計超過300萬頁，其中包含2000多段視頻和18萬張圖片，徹底撕開了西方權(quán)貴性犯罪網(wǎng)絡的遮羞布。

其中牽扯到多位西方重量級人物，信息密度之高、沖擊力之強，簡直讓人后背發(fā)涼。這種級別的“驚天大瓜”，放在有生之年里都算稀有款，看完只剩一句話：三觀被震碎...

01 安德魯王子被曝跪地照

The documents shed light on the disgracedfinancier's close association with Britain's elite.

這些檔案揭露了愛潑斯坦這位聲名狼藉的金融家與英國權(quán)貴階層之間的密切聯(lián)系。

They include emails between Epstein and a person named "The Duke" - believed to be Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor - discussing having dinner at Buckingham Palace, where there was "lots of privacy".

其中包括愛潑斯坦與一名被稱為“公爵”的人士之間的往來郵件——外界認為此人正是安德魯·蒙巴頓-溫莎。郵件中討論了在白金漢宮共進晚餐的事宜，并提到那里“隱私空間很大”。

In the latest file release, there is also a photo that appears to show the former prince kneeling on all fours over a female lying on the ground.

在最新公開的文件中中，還出現(xiàn)了一張照片，疑似拍到這位前王子四肢著地，俯身在一名躺在地上的女性身體上方。

There are also emails between Epstein and Mountbatten-Windsor dated February 2011 - putting more holes in Andrew's assurances that he had cut off any contact with Epstein the previous year.

此外，還有愛潑斯坦與蒙巴頓—溫莎之間的電子郵件往來，時間標注為2011年2月——這進一步削弱了安德魯此前的說法。他曾堅稱自己在前一年就已與愛潑斯坦斷絕一切聯(lián)系。

The BBC has contacted Andrew, formerly known as the Duke of York, for a response. Mountbatten-Windsor has faced years of scrutiny over his past friendship with Epstein. He has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.

BBC 已就此聯(lián)系了安德魯（前約克公爵），尋求其回應。多年來，蒙巴頓—溫莎因其與愛潑斯坦的過往交情一直處于輿論審視之下。對此，他多次否認自己存在任何不當行為。

02 馬斯克詢問“最瘋狂的派對在哪一天”

The documents also includeemail correspondencebetween Epstein and tech billionaire Elon Musk.

這些檔案中還包括了愛潑斯坦與科技大亨埃隆·馬斯克之間的電子郵件往來。

Musk, who has not been accused of any wrongdoing in the case, has previously said that Epstein had invited him to his island but he had declined.

馬斯克在該案中并未被指控有任何不當行為。他此前曾表示，愛潑斯坦曾邀請他前往其私人島嶼，但他拒絕了。

The new emails show Musk had discussed travelling there on more than one occasion - including a proposed 2012 trip - in which he asked Epstein:"What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?"

然而，新披露的郵件顯示，馬斯克曾不止一次討論過去那里的行程——其中包括 2012 年的一次提議。在郵件中，他詢問愛潑斯坦：“你島上最瘋狂的派對在哪一天/哪一晚？”

The emails from November 2012 show Epstein asked how many people Musk would need transporting on a helicopter to the island and Musk replies that it would only be himself and his then-wife, Talulah Riley.
2012年11月的郵件往來顯示，愛潑斯坦詢問馬斯克需要用直升機接載多少人上島，馬斯克回復稱只有他本人和當時的妻子塔露拉·萊利。

An email from Musk to Epstein on Christmas in 2012 includes Musk inquiring whether the financier had any parties planned because he needs to "let loose".
在2012年圣誕節(jié)發(fā)給愛潑斯坦的另一封郵件中，馬斯克詢問這位金融家是否有派對計劃，因為他需要“放縱一下”。

"I've been working to the edge of sanity this year and so, once my kids head home after Christmas, I really want to hit the party scene in St Barts or elsewhere and let loose," he writes, adding that a "peaceful island experience" is the opposite of what he's wanting.
馬斯克在信中寫道：“我這一年工作得快要發(fā)瘋了，所以等孩子們圣誕節(jié)后回家，我真的很想去圣巴茨島或其他地方狂歡一場，好好放縱一下?！彼S后還補充說，那種“平靜的海島體驗”不符合他現(xiàn)在的需求。

In another batch of emails from the end of 2013, Musk and Epstein discuss a visit to the financier's island and are working on logistics and dates.There is no evidence that Musk ever did end up taking a trip to Epstein's island.
在另一組2013年底的郵件中，馬斯克與愛潑斯坦討論了前往該金融家私人島嶼的行程，并商討了具體的后勤安排和日期。目前并沒有證據(jù)表明馬斯克最終確實去過愛潑斯坦的島嶼。

Musk said in an X post on Saturday that he was "well aware that some email correspondence with [Epstein] could be misinterpreted and used by detractors tosmearmy name".
馬斯克周六在X（原推特）上發(fā)帖稱，他“深知與（愛潑斯坦）的一些郵件往來可能會被誤解，并被詆毀者用來抹黑我的名聲”。

He added: "I don't care about that, but what I do care about is that we at least attempt to prosecute those who committed serious crimes with Epstein, especially regarding heinous exploitation of underage girls."
他補充道：“我并不在乎那些，但我真正在乎的是，我們至少應該嘗試起訴那些與愛潑斯坦一起犯下嚴重罪行的人，特別是涉及殘害和剝削未成年少女的行為?！?/p>

03 比爾蓋茨方回應被曝患性病

A spokesperson for Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has responded to lurid allegations contained in the latest Epstein files – including that he caught a sexually-transmitted disease – calling them "absolutely absurd and completely false".
微軟聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人比爾·蓋茨的發(fā)言人對最新愛潑斯坦檔案中包含的驚人指控——包括稱其染上性病——作出了回應，稱這些說法“絕對荒謬，完全是一派胡言”。

Two emails from 18 July 2013 appear to have been drafted by Epstein but it is unclear if they were ever sent to Gates. Both were sent from Epstein's email account and back to the same account, while no email account associated with Gates is visible and both emails are unsigned.
兩封日期為 2013 年 7 月 18 日的郵件似乎是由愛潑斯坦草擬的，但目前尚不清楚是否曾發(fā)送給蓋茨。這兩封郵件均是從愛潑斯坦的郵箱發(fā)出并回復給該郵箱本身的，郵件中未顯示任何與蓋茨相關(guān)的賬號，且兩封郵件均無署名。

One email is written as a resignation letter from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and complains about having had to procure medicine for Gates "to deal with the consequences of sex with Russian girls".

其中一封郵件是以“從比爾及梅琳達·蓋茨基金會辭職”的信函格式撰寫的，信中抱怨稱，不得不為蓋茨購買藥物，以“處理其與多名俄羅斯女孩發(fā)生性關(guān)系后的后果”。

The other, which begins "dear Bill", complains about Gates having ended a friendship and makes more claims about Gates having tried tocover upa sexually transmitted infection, including from his then-wife, Melinda.
另一封郵件以“親愛的比爾”開頭，信中抱怨蓋茨終止了兩人之間的友誼，并進一步聲稱蓋茨曾試圖隱瞞自己染上性病的事實，甚至瞞著當時的妻子梅琳達。

A spokesperson for Gates told the BBC: "These claims – from a proven,disgruntledliar – are absolutely absurd and completely false."
蓋茨的一位發(fā)言人在接受 BBC 采訪時表示：“這些指控出自一個已被證實的、心懷不滿的騙子之手，完全是荒謬且徹頭徹尾的謊言?！?/p>

They added: "The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein's frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame."
該發(fā)言人還補充道：“這些文件唯一能證明的，只有愛潑斯坦因未能與蓋茨保持長期關(guān)系而產(chǎn)生的挫敗感，以及他為了設局陷害和誹謗他人所采取的極端手段?！?/p>

更多外媒披露的令人作嘔的細節(jié)，就不在這里贅述。腦海里不斷浮現(xiàn)的，只有五個字：惡魔在人間。
