The World Trade Center, located in the heart of Manhattan in New York City, was built in 1966 and instantly became an iconic landmark for the city.

世界贸易中心,位于纽约市曼哈顿的中心,于1966年建成并立即成为该市的标志性建筑。

The Twin Towers, as they were known, stood 1,360-plus feet above ground — each holding 110 floors.

更为人所知的名字是,双子塔,超过1360多英尺——每座楼都有110层。

On this day in history, Feb. 26, 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed, with more than 1,000 people injured.

在历史上的这一天,1993年2月26日,世界贸易中心被炸弹袭击,造成1000多人受伤。

The morning of Monday, Feb. 26, 1993, was a winter day just like any other in New York — cold and windy, as thousands of people went to work, according to many reports.

根据多方报道,1993年2月26日,星期一的早晨,和纽约的任何一个冬天一样——寒冷多风,当成千上万的人去上班的时候。

Approximately 50,000 people were inside the World Trade Center complex — more than 40,000 of them in the Twin Towers — according to the 9/11 Memorial website.

据9/11纪念网站的记录,当时将近有5万人在世贸中心综合大楼内——超过4万人在双子塔。

1993年,一枚炸弹在世贸中心的室内停车场爆炸。

At around 12 p.m., a group of terrorists, including a man named Ramzi Yousef, drove a van into the public parking garage below the Towers.

中午12点左右,一群恐怖分子,包括一名名叫拉姆齐·优素福(Ramzi Yousef)的男子,驾驶一辆面包车进入世贸下面的公共室内停车场。

The van exploded roughly 17 minutes after noon — creating a 100-foot crater within the north tower, according to the FBI's website.

根据联邦调查局的网站记录,这辆面包车大约在正午过后17分钟爆炸,在北塔内造成了一个100英尺的大坑。

"I was physically lifted off my feet and thrown through the air … My entire body was compressed as though being squeezed completely," he recalled to the 9/11 Memorial Museum.

爆炸发生在1993年2月26日中午左右,地点在纽约市中心。

The mastermind behind the bombing was Ramzi Yousef, who arrived in New York nearly five and a half months prior after learning how to make a bomb in Afghanistan, according to the 9/11 Memorial.

根据9/11纪念馆的记录,爆炸事件的幕后策划者是拉姆齐·优素福(Ramzi Yousef),他在阿富汗学习如何制造炸弹后,大约五个半月前抵达纽约。

He was working with six other terrorists.

他和其他六名恐怖分子合作。

In July 1993, the Department of State offered a $2 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Yousef, according to the State Department's website.

根据美国国务院网站记录,1993年7月,美国国务院悬赏200万美元缉拿优素福。

By this time, Yousef had disappeared underground.

这时,优素福已经消失隐匿了。

"U.S. law enforcement officials believed that Yousef had escaped to Pakistan, but they had little reliable information about his location," the State Department website notes.

美国国务院网站指出:“美国执法官员认为优素福已经逃到了巴基斯坦,但关于他位置的可靠信息少的可怜。”

Yousef was later captured in Feb. 1995 and convicted two years later, says the FBI's website.

1995年2月,优素福被捕,两年后被定罪。

Almost 3,000 people were killed on Sept. 11, 2001, in terrorist attacks that shocked the world and triggered major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism, notes History.com.

2001年9月11日,近3000人在恐怖袭击中丧生,这场恐怖袭击震惊了世界,并引发了美国打击恐怖主义的重大举措,History.com记录到。

The 1993 attack on the World Trade Center was a deadly precursor to the larger attacks of 2001.

1993年对世贸中心的袭击是2001年更大规模袭击的致命前奏。

"We later learned from Yousef that his Trade Center plot was far more sinister," notes the FBI.

“我们后来从优素福那里得知,他的贸易中心密谋要阴险得多,”联邦调查局记录到。

"He wanted the bomb to topple one tower, with the collapsing debris knocking down the second."

“他想用炸弹推倒一座塔,让坍塌的碎片撞倒第二座塔。”

The site continues, "The attack turned out to be something of a deadly dress rehearsal for 9/11; with the help of Yousef’s uncle Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, al-Qaeda would later return to realize Yousef’s nightmarish vision."

该网站继续写道:“这次袭击最终变成911事件的一次致命彩排; 在优素福叔叔哈立德·谢赫·穆罕默德的帮助下,基地组织后来卷土重来,实现了优素福的噩梦构想。”
