French prosecutors said they have decided to dismiss attempted-rape accusations made by a French novelist against former International Monetary Fund chief and Socialist politician Dominique Strauss-Kahn, citing a lack of evidence.
法国检方说，他们已经决定撤销一名法国小说家针对国际货币基金组织(IMF) 前总裁、社会党政治家斯特劳斯-卡恩(Dominique Strauss-Kahn)提出的强奸未遂指控，理由是缺乏证据。
In a statement, the prosecutors' office said the probe had uncovered 'facts' pointing to a possible sexualassault by Strauss-Kahn against novelist Tristane Banon in 2003.
检方发表声明说，此前的调查发现有"事实"表明，卡恩在2003年可能性侵了小说家巴侬(Tristane Banon)。
In September, Strauss-Kahn told French television that there was 'no aggression' and 'no violence' by him against Banon when the writer came to see him in a Paris apartment for an interview. Strauss-Kahn said Banon's description of events was 'a figment of her own imagination,' adding that he had filed a complaint for slander.
9月，卡恩在法国电视上说，巴侬前往巴黎一处公寓采访他时，他对巴侬"没有侵犯"、"没有暴力"。卡恩说，巴侬对事情的描述是她自己凭想象"虚构"的，还说他已经提起诽谤控诉。
Banon can challenge the decision of Paris prosecutors by filing a new complaint, this time with the dean of Paris investigating magistrates. If Banon decides against pursuing this legal avenue, Paris prosecutors would start looking into Strauss-Kahn's slandercomplaint.
巴侬可以向巴黎预审法官的负责人提起新的控诉，挑战巴黎检方的决定。如果巴侬决定不走这一法律途径，巴黎检方就会开始调查卡恩提起的诽谤控诉。
