As many in Syria celebrated the end of the long rule of Bashar al-Assad, rumours swirled about his whereabouts.
【澳纽网编译】当叙利亚许多人庆祝巴沙尔·阿萨德 （Bashar al-Assad） 长期统治的结束时，关于他下落的谣言四起。

After a day of intrigue, the mystery was solved when Russian state media announced he had landed in Moscow.
经过一天的阴谋纠结，当俄罗斯官方媒体宣布他已抵达莫斯科时，这个谜团解开了。
“Assad and his family have arrived in Moscow. Russia, for humanitarian reasons, has granted them asylum,” a Kremlin source said, according to TASS.
“阿萨德和他的家人已经抵达莫斯科。出于人道主义原因，俄罗斯已经给予他们庇护，“据塔斯社报道，一名克里姆林宫消息人士说。
Since the uprising began, and the rebels rapidly advanced through the country, Assad had kept a low profile.
自从起义开始以来，叛军迅速在该国推进，阿萨德一直保持低调。
After meeting with Iran’s foreign minister last weekend, he pledged to fight “terrorist organisations” but has otherwise made little comment as the rebels captured major cities.
在上周末与伊朗外长会晤后，他承诺打击“恐怖组织”，但在叛军占领主要城市时，他几乎没有发表任何评论。

On Saturday, as the rebels encircled Damascus, a source told CNN that Assad was nowhere to be found in the city.
周六，当叛军包围大马士革时，一名消息人士告诉CNN，阿萨德在这座城市无迹可寻。

Assad’s Presidential Guard were also no longer deployed at his usual residence, as they would be if he was there, the source said, fueling speculation ahead of Sunday’s developments that he may have escaped.
消息人士说，阿萨德的总统卫队也不再部署在他的常住住所，如果他在那里，他们就会在那里，这助长了周日事态发展之前关于他可能已经逃脱的猜测。
Syria’s presidential office initially denied that Assad had left Damascus or travelled to another country, saying that some foreign media outlets were “spreading rumours and false news.”
叙利亚总统办公室最初否认阿萨德离开大马士革或前往另一个国家，称一些外国媒体“散布谣言和虚假新闻”。
After the rebels took the capital, they said he had fled and were searching for him. Some of the fighters along with civilians began ransacking his official residences.
叛军占领首都后，他们说他已经逃跑了，正在寻找他。一些战斗人员和平民开始洗劫他的官邸。
Amid the rumours, Russia’s foreign ministry issued a statement Sunday saying Assad had “decided to leave the presidential post and left the country, giving instructions to transfer power peacefully.”
在谣言中，俄罗斯外交部周日发表声明称，阿萨德“决定离开总统职位并离开该国，指示和平转移权力”。
The statement added that Russia “did not participate in these negotiations.” Later came the disclosure that Assad had arrived in Moscow.
声明还说，俄罗斯“没有参与这些谈判”。后来，阿萨德已经抵达莫斯科的消息被披露。

A source close to the rebels told CNN that the ousted president had left Damascus under Russian protection, and a separate source said he travelled to Latakia in northwest Syria, where Russia has an airbase.
一位接近叛军的消息人士告诉 CNN，这位被罢黜的总统已经将大马士革置于俄罗斯的保护下，另一名消息人士表示，他前往叙利亚西北部的拉塔基亚，俄罗斯在那里设有空军基地。
Flight tracking data shows that a plane departed from Damascus airport at just before 2 a.m. local time on Sunday in the direction of the coast before making a sudden U-turn over the city of Homs and disappearing off the map. CNN cannot confirm whether Assad was on this flight.
航班跟踪数据显示，一架飞机于当地时间周日凌晨 2 点前从大马士革机场起飞，向海岸方向起飞，然后在霍姆斯市上空突然掉头，从地图上消失。CNN 无法确认阿萨德是否在这架飞机上。
Russia was the obvious destination – President Vladimir Putin was a longtime ally and supported the Syrian regime with air power and other military aid. Whether Moscow is Assad’s permanent destination, it is an abrupt and ignominious end to more than two decades in power.
俄罗斯是显而易见的目的地——弗拉基米尔·普京总统是叙利亚的长期盟友，并通过空中力量和其他军事援助支持叙利亚政权。无论莫斯科是否是阿萨德的永久目的地，它都是二十多年执政的突然而可耻的结局。
