Before the meetings, I asked one of MBS’s advisers if there were any questions I could ask his boss that he himself could not.
会议之前，我问穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼的一位顾问，是否有什么问题是我可以问他领导而他自己不能问的。
“None,” he answered, without pausing—“and that is what makes him different from every crown prince who has come before him.”
“没有，”他没有停顿，回答说，“这就是他不同于所有在他之前出现过的王子的地方。”

During our Riyadh encounter, Jeff asked MBS if he was capable of handling criticism.
在我们的利雅得会面中，杰夫问穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼他是否有能力处理批评。
“Thank you very much for this question,” the prince said. “If I couldn’t, I would not be sitting with you today listening to that question.”
“非常感谢您的提问，”王子说。 “如果我不能处理的话，我今天就不会和你们坐在一起听这个问题了。”

“我会在丽思卡尔顿酒店。”杰夫建议道。
“Well,” he said, “at least it’s a five-star hotel.”
“嗯，”他说，“至少这是一家五星级酒店。”
When we asked if he had ordered the killing of Khashoggi, he said it was “obvious” that he had not.

“It hurt me a lot,” he said. “It hurt me and it hurt Saudi Arabia, from a feelings perspective.”
“这让我很受伤，”他说。 “从感情的角度来看，这伤害了我，也伤害了沙特阿拉伯。”
“From a feelings perspective?”
“从感情的角度?”

In our Riyadh interview, the crown prince said that his own rights had been violated in the Khashoggi affair.
在利雅得的采访中，这位王储表示，他自己的权利在卡舒吉事件中受到了侵犯。

“Article XI of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that any person is innocent until proven guilty.”
“《世界人权宣言》第十一条规定，任何人在被证明有罪之前都是无辜的。”
Saudi Arabia had punished those responsible for the murder, he said—yet comparable atrocities, such as bombings of wedding parties in Afghanistan and the torture of prisoners in Guantánamo Bay, have gone unpunished.
他说，沙特阿拉伯已经惩罚了那些对谋杀负有责任的人，但类似的暴行，如阿富汗的婚礼派对爆炸事件和关塔纳摩湾虐囚事件，却没有受到惩罚。
The crown prince defended himself in part by asserting that Khashoggi was not important enough to kill.
这位王储为自己进行了部分辩护，称卡舒吉没有重要到要杀他。
“I never read a Khashoggi article in my life,” he said.
“我这辈子从没读过一篇卡舒吉的文章，”他说。
To our astonishment, he added that if he were to send a kill squad, he’d choose a more valuable target, and more competent assassins.
令我们惊讶的是，他补充说，如果他要派一个暗杀小组去，他会选择一个更有价值、更有能力的杀手。
“If that’s the way we did things”—murdering authors of critical op-eds—“Khashoggi would not even be among the top 1,000 people on the list.
“如果这就是我们做事的方式”——谋杀评论专栏文章的作者——“卡舒吉甚至都进不了名单上的前1000人。”
