美國籃球明星在俄羅斯法庭受審
美國籃球明星布蘭妮·格林納周五在俄羅斯法庭接受審判，此時華盛頓和莫斯科之間的關系處於 歷史 低谷。
The WNBA champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist was detained at a Moscow airport in February after security officers allegedly found vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage.
今年2月，這位WNBA冠軍、兩屆奧運會金牌得主在莫斯科機場被拘留，原因是安檢人員在她的行李中發現了含有大麻油的電子煙盒。
Griner was photographed entering the Khimki City Court outside Moscow early Friday for the start of her trial.
周五早些時候，格林納被拍到進入莫斯科郊外的希姆基市法院，開始對她的審判。
If found guilty on drug smuggling charges, Griner, 31, faces up to 10 years in prison.
如果因走私毒品罪名成立，現年 31 歲的格林納將面臨最高 10 年的監禁。
"The U.S. Embassy and the country cares very deeply about this case," Elisabeth Rood, deputy chief to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, told reporters outside the court.
"She asked me to convey that she is in good spirits and she is keeping up faith."Griner's lawyer Alexander Boikov said she had "no complaints about the conditions of her detention."He added that she is practicing sport "in her cell and on walks."
“她讓我轉達她的心情，她保持著信心。”格林納的律師亞歷山大·博伊科夫表示，她“對拘留條件沒有任何投訴”。他補充說，她正在“牢房裏”和散步中練習運動。
Griner had been in Russia to play for UMMC Ekaterinburg during the WNBA off-season.
在WNBA休賽期，格裏納壹直在俄羅斯為葉卡捷琳堡隊效力。
She was detained just days before Russia invaded Ukraine, which was quickly followed by Western sanctions and a fallout in bilateral ties.
就在俄烏沖突爆發的幾天前，她被拘留。沖突開始後，西方迅速對俄實施制裁，雙邊關系也受到影響。
State Department officials reclassified her as wrongfully detained in May and handed oversight of her case over to the special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, who is the principal negotiator for the U.S. government.
美國國務院官員在5月份將她重新歸類為被錯誤拘留，並將對她的案件的監督移交給總統人質事務特使，他是美國政府的主要談判代表。
Her supporters have called on U.S. officials to seek her release by way of a prisoner exchange, as Russian courts rarely hand down acquittals.
她的支持者呼籲美國官員通過交換囚犯的方式尋求釋放她，因為俄羅斯法院很少做出無罪判決。
While efforts to negotiate her release will face the challenge of almost nonexistent diplomatic ties between Washington and Moscow, the two sides carried out a high-profile prisoner swap in April, exchanging Russian pilot Konstantin Yaroshenko for former U.S. Marine Trevor Reed.
雖然談判釋放她的努力將面臨華盛頓和莫斯科之間幾乎不存在外交關系的挑戰，但雙方在4月份進行了壹次備受矚目的囚犯交換，將俄羅斯飛行員康斯坦丁·亞羅申科換成了前美國海軍陸戰隊隊員特雷弗·裏德。
Griner’s wife, Cherelle, has urged U.S. President Joe Biden to secure her release, calling her “a political pawn.”
格林納的妻子切蕾爾敦促美國總統拜登釋放她，稱她是“政治棋子”。
The WNBA has also said it is working to bring Griner — considered one of the greatest female basketball players — home.
WNBA也表示，它們正在努力將被認為是最偉大的女籃球運動員之壹的格林納帶回家。
