Tapping the wires is surprisingly simple.
竊取光纖信息極其簡單
The data carried by the fibre-optic cable
只需要將光纖傳遞的信息
just needs to be diverted.
進行改道
A fibre-optic cable signal is a beam of light
光纖信號就是一束光
travelling down a cable made from glass.
這束光穿過了玻璃材質的線纜
Pulses of light represent
脈沖光束代表著
the pieces of information travelling across the internet,
穿梭于互聯網中的信息
which is the e-mails, the web pages,
例如電子郵件 網頁
everything that's going over the internet.

Every 50 miles or so, that signal becomes sufficiently weak
每八十千米左右 這個信號就會變得極其弱
that it needs to be repeated,
因此它需要被加強
and this is the weak spot.
而這就是薄弱點
And it's very easy to insert an optical tap at that point.
在這一薄弱點安插攔截設備極其簡單
And that's just what GCHQ did.
英國情報機構政府通信總部就這么做的
A device was placed into the beam of data
在數據流中安插一個設備
which created a mirror image of the millions of e-mails,
建立鏡像 其中包括每秒鐘經過光纖的
web searches and internet traffic
數以百萬計的電子郵件
passing through the cables every second.
網頁搜索和網絡通訊信息
