　　Edward Snowden may have recently received a three-year extension of his stay in Russia, but the formerNational Security Agency contractor says in a newinterview with WIRED magazine that he still clingsto hope of returning home to the United States,even if it means living behind bars.

　　据英国《当日新闻》网站(Today.com)8月13日报道，爱德华·斯诺登可能已获得俄罗斯为期三年的居留许可。然而，这位前美国国家安全局职工在新一期《连线》杂志采访时表示，即使要遭受牢狱之苦，也愿意重返美国。

　　“I told the government I’d volunteer for prison, aslong as it served the right purpose, ” Snowden said the article released Wednesday. “I caremore about the country than what happens to me. But we can’t allow the law to become apolitical weapon or agree to scare people away from standing up for their rights, no matter howgood the deal. I’m not going to be part of that.”

　　“我告诉美国政府只要目的正确，我愿意回国认罪服刑，”斯诺登在周三公布的报道中表示。“比起自身的遭遇，我更关心美国的安危。但无论有多大的好处，我们不能让法律成为政治武器，或者成为恫吓人们放弃捍卫自身权利的威胁。我绝不会这样做。”

　　Described by WIRED as “the most wanted man in the world, ” Snowden is being sought forleaking top-secret documents that unveiled widespread surveillance programs overseen by thefederal government. He currently is hiding out in an undisclosed community in Russia, wherehe says he goes mostly unrecognized.

　　斯诺登因泄漏机密文件、向媒体披露由联邦政府启动的秘密监控项目而被通缉，被《连线》杂志形容为“世界头号通缉犯”。目前，他藏身于俄罗斯一隐秘社区内，并称在那里没人能认出他。
