The pictures of Tyler Robinson posted by his mother on Facebook show a typical college student: clean cut, wearing a baseball cap and Converse sneakers, barely distinguishable from most of his classmates.
他母亲在Facebook上发布的泰勒•罗宾逊(Tyler Robinson)的照片，呈现出一名典型的大学生：外表清爽，头戴棒球帽、脚穿匡威球鞋，与大多数同学几乎难以区分。
Yet this is the man who investigators have accused of killing US conservative activist Charlie Kirk, a close ally of President Donald Trump and one of America’s most prominent rightwing influencers.
然而，调查人员指控这名男子杀害了美国保守派活动人士查理•柯克(Charlie Kirk)——他是唐纳德•特朗普(President Donald Trump)的亲密盟友，也是美国最具影响力的右翼意见领袖之一。
The 22-year-old, who lived in Utah’s Washington County with his family, was taken into custody about 33 hours after Kirk was shot on Wednesday, an event that sparked a large-scale manhunt and raised fears about an upsurge in political violence in the country.
这名22岁的男子与家人居住在犹他华盛顿县(Washington County)，于周三柯克遭枪击约33小时后被拘捕。该事件引发大规模搜捕行动，并加剧了人们对全国政治暴力抬头的担忧。
Little is known about his possible motive, but Utah governor Spencer Cox on Friday said investigators had interviewed a family member “who stated that Robinson had become more political in recent years”.
目前几乎无人知晓他的作案动机。但犹他州长斯潘塞•考克斯(Spencer Cox)周五表示，调查人员已询问了一名家属，“该家属称泰勒•罗宾逊近年来变得更具政治色彩。”
The person said he had attended a family dinner prior to Kirk’s killing and mentioned in a conversation with another family member that the activist was coming to Utah Valley University (UVU), according to Cox.
据考克斯称，此人表示他在柯克遇害前参加了一次家庭聚餐，并在与另一位家人交谈时提到，罗宾逊将前往犹他谷大学(Utah Valley University, UVU)。
“They talked about why they didn’t like him and the viewpoints he had,” Cox said.
“他们谈到自己为什么不喜欢他，以及他所持的观点，”考克斯说。
However, there is little evidence Robinson was engaged in politics. He was a registered voter but was not affiliated with a political party, according to state voter records.
然而，几乎没有证据显示罗宾逊参与过政治。根据州选民记录，他已登记为选民，但并未隶属于任何政党。
There is also little in his family’s social media presence to indicate a propensity for violence. Photos posted on Facebook by his mother, a social worker at a non-profit healthcare company, are largely innocuous, showing the family at Halloween parties, or on vacation in Alaska, the Caribbean and Disneyland.
从他家人的社交媒体上也几乎看不出任何暴力倾向。他的母亲是一家非营利医疗公司的社会工作者，在Facebook上发布的照片大多无伤大雅，多为一家人在万圣节派对上，或前往阿拉斯加州、加勒比海和迪士尼乐园度假的场景。
A 2017 post shows them at a military facility, posing with assault rifles. Tyler Robinson is shown smiling as he holds the handles of a 50-calibre heavy machine gun.
一则2017年的帖文显示，他们在一处军事设施内手持突击步枪合影。泰勒•罗宾逊面带微笑，握着一挺点50口径重机枪的操纵柄。
The Financial Times could not independently verify the pictures, most of which were deleted on Friday.
英国《金融时报》无法独立核实这些照片，其中大部分已于周五被删除。
The family lives in a suburb of St George, a city in the southern part of Utah about a three-and-a-half hour drive away from the UVU campus where Kirk was killed.
这家人住在圣乔治(St George)市的一个郊区。圣乔治位于犹他南部，距离柯克遇害的犹他谷大学校园约三小时半车程。
Robinson was not a student at UVU: he briefly attended Utah State University for one semester in 2021, according to a statement from USU on Friday, on a prestigious academic scholarship, He is currently enrolled as a third-year student in the electrical apprenticeship programme at Dixie Technical College in St George.
罗宾逊并非犹他谷大学的学生。据犹他州立大学(Utah State University, USU)周五发布的声明称，他曾于2021年在享有盛誉的学术奖学金资助下短暂就读犹他州立大学一个学期。目前，他在圣乔治的迪克西技术学院(Dixie Technical College)就读电气学徒项目三年级。
One video circulating on social media platforms on Friday and apparently posted by his mother appeared to show him reading out a letter confirming he had received USU’s four-year award.
周五在社交媒体平台上流传的一段视频（似乎由他母亲发布）显示，他在朗读一封信，确认已获得犹他州立大学的四年期奖项。
“The value of this scholarship is approximately $32,000,” he is shown saying. He then whoops with joy and his mother is heard cheering in the background.
“这项奖学金的金额大约为3.2万美元。”画面中他这样说道。随后他兴奋地欢呼，背景里还能听到母亲的喝彩声。
In another entry from August 2020, his mother posted what appears to be a college aptitude test score for Robinson that would put him in the top 1 per cent of test takers, according to recent averages.
根据近期的平均水平，他母亲在2020年8月的另一则帖子中晒出了疑似罗宾逊的大学能力倾向测验成绩，按该成绩他将位列应试者的前1%。
Cox said that on Thursday evening, a family member called a family friend who in turn called the Washington County’s Sheriff’s Office “with information that Robinson had confessed to them or implied that he had committed the incident”.
考克斯表示，周四晚间，一名家属先致电一位家族朋友，该朋友随后又联系了华盛顿县治安官办公室，称“罗宾逊曾向他们坦白，或暗示自己实施了该事件”。
Law enforcement officials confirmed it was Robinson’s father who had tipped off the police. Cox thanked the family for “doing the right thing”, adding that a “friend” also helped.
执法官员证实，是罗宾逊的父亲向警方通风报信。考克斯感谢这家人“做了正确的事”，并补充说还有一位“朋友”也提供了帮助。
The governor added investigators had found messages written on the casings of the bullets in the Mauser rifle allegedly used in the shooting which appear to suggest a political motive.
州长补充说，调查人员在疑似用于这起枪击的毛瑟步枪子弹弹壳上发现了文字信息，似乎暗示作案动机具有政治因素。
Cox said one inscription on an unfired casing read: “Hey fascists! Catch!” accompanied by arrows pointed up, right and down. Those could be a reference to a sequence of moves in the video game Helldivers that release a bomb in an air strike.
考克斯表示，一枚未击发的弹壳上刻着：“嘿，法西斯！接着！”旁边还有指向上、右、下的箭头。这可能指的是电子游戏《地狱潜行者》中用于呼叫空袭投弹的一组操作序列。
The governor said another inscription on an unfired casing read: “Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao” — an apparent reference to the anthem of the Italian anti-fascist resistance during the second world war. The third unfired casing was inscribed with the words: “If you read this, you are gay LMAO [laughing my ass off].”
州长表示，另一枚未击发的弹壳上刻着：“Oh bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao（哦，贝拉，再见，贝拉，再见，再见，再见）”——这显然是对二战期间意大利反法西斯抵抗运动之颂歌的引用。第三枚未击发的弹壳上则刻着：“如果你读到这句，你就是同性恋，LMAO（笑死我了）。”
Cameron Roden, an official with the Utah Department of Public Safety, said Robinson was facing multiple felony charges including aggravated murder and obstruction of justice.
犹他公共安全部官员卡梅隆•罗登(Cameron Roden)表示，罗宾逊正面临多项重罪指控，包括加重谋杀和妨碍司法。
