这句话应该怎么译？那段视频怎么回事没读明白。。。

Answer 1

1. The gunman, a 55-year-old police officer who had been dismissed after being charged with extortion, opened fire inside a tourist bus near the end of the ordeal.
ordeal: n. 煎熬、对峙
后半句意思：在对峙将要结束时向一辆观光巴士开枪

2. Chinese fury was originally focused on the length of the standoff and the fact that the daylong crisis played out on live television — keeping the gunman, who was watching from a monitor inside the bus, abreast of the actions of the police outside.
abreast: adv. 并列；并排；并肩
keep abreast of 可以意译为伴随着
后半句意思是：这个危机事件持续一整天在电视节目直播，让在观光巴士内通过显示屏观注外面动静的持抢者可以随时掌握外面警察的动向。

3. The Institute for Economics and Peace ranks the country as 130th out of 149 on its latest Global Peace Index.
130th - 第130名 后面的out of 149是总共有149个进入该名单的国家
即149个国家中排名130位

4. Mr. Wong cited a recent case in which a Philippine broadcast of a video captured on a cellphone was said to show police officers in plain clothes torturing a man at a Manila police station.
意思：王先生引用了最近的一个案例，即菲律宾电视播放了一个视频，是某个人用手机抓拍到在马尼拉警察局里一些未穿制服的警察殴打某人的视频。

Answer 2

1. ordeal 可解成 (er)劫

枪手是一位被控勒索而解雇的55岁警官, 他在这场er劫近结束时, 在旅游车内开枪.

2. abreast, 就是说他对警察在外的行动一清二楚.

3. 在148名中排列130位

4. 黄先生举了一近例, 在此例中, 菲律宾的传媒播放了便衣警官在马尼拉警局虐待人的手机视频

Answer 3

1.ordeal本身是苦难和磨难的意思，整个事件对被劫持者来说就是苦难，at the end of the ordeal是指在整个事件尾声的时候，因为这个绑架持续了一天，而枪手是在晚上开的枪。
2.abreast of 是和什么并排，这里就是指枪手通过监视器能看清警方的一举一动。
3。根据经济和平组织的最新公布的世界安全指数排名中，在149个国家里，菲律宾排在130位。
4.王先生又提起了最近的一起案件，菲律宾公布了一个拿手机拍摄的视频，视频里显示在马蒂尼一个警局里身着便服的警官们正在折磨一名男子。

Answer 4

1,那个枪手，是一歌55岁的警察，因为勒索被控告。却在审判快要结束的时候在公车上开枪自杀了

2.那些中国的愤怒分子最初只是集中力量进行长时间的对峙，以及电视上长达一天的直播，目的只是使那些在车里与警察并肩作战的枪手们监视他们

3.经济和平学院使这个国家在最新的世界和平的索引的149个国家中排名130

4.黄先生援引最近一宗案件中,一个菲律宾广播捕获的一段手机视频，据说是便衣警察在马尼拉一个警察局严刑拷问犯人。

我自己翻的，你参考一下哈
