New information on what's being investigated as an assassination attempt on former President Trump.

有关前总统特朗普遭遇刺杀未遂事件的调查正在进行中。

The Secret Service says a shooter fired multiple shots toward the stage from an elevated position outside the rally venue in Butler County, Pennsylvania, north of Pittsburgh.

一名枪手从匹兹堡北部宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒县集会场地外的高处向舞台方向开了数枪。

elevate 意思是“升高”或“抬高”，an elevated position 是“高处”，也可以用 a high position 表示。

The Secret Service says their team neutralized the shooter, who is now dead.

特勤局已将枪手制伏，该枪手现已死亡。

neutralize 在这里指“制伏、使...失去威胁”，它本义指化学里的“中和”，引申为通过某种方式抵消或消除某物的作用，使其失去危害性。这个含义常用于军事和政策的语境中，如：

The special forces neutralized the terrorist cell.

特种部队剿灭了恐怖分子集团。

The company introduced new policies to neutralize the impact of the economic downturn.

该公司推出了新政策来抵消经济下滑的影响。

Law enforcement sources tell ABC News the shooter fired as many as eight rounds using an AR-style rifle from a rooftop 200 to 300 yards away.

执法部门消息人士告诉ABC新闻，枪手使用一支AR式步枪，从200至300码外的屋顶上向目标射击了多达八发子弹。

round 在这里是军事和枪械术语，指的是一发子弹或弹药，这个术语可能源自早期的炮弹，它们通常是球形的，因此得名“round”。the shooter fired as many as eight rounds 意思是枪手开了多达八枪。

Tonight Trump releasing a statement that reads in part: I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong and that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin.

今晚，特朗普发表声明，部分内容如下：我被一颗子弹击中，子弹穿透了我右耳的上部。我立刻意识到出了问题，听到了嗖嗖的声音，随即感到子弹撕裂了皮肤。

read 在这里表示“内容显示”或“内容写道”，该词可用于描述书面材料或声明的内容，常见的结构是：「document or statement reads: content」。

read 可以用 state, say, indicate 等词替换。

rip through 意思是“撕裂穿过”或“猛烈穿透”，可用于描述某物以迅猛、破坏性的方式穿过另一物体，例如地震、龙卷风、子弹，看两个例句：

The tornado ripped through the town, leaving destruction in its wake.

龙卷风席卷而过，殃及处满目疮痍。

The bullet ripped through the fabric, tearing a large hole.

At first you think like maybe firecrackers, but it continued. It continued. And then somebody yelled, get down. We got down, we got down, and we huddled, and we started praying.

几分钟后，特朗普站起身来，右耳有血迹。
