Mr. Trump said, “Nobody knows yet, but we’ll probably be able to find out.”
特朗普回答道，“這個目前大家都不知道，但我們應該能查出來。”
He promised “severe punishment” for Saudi Arabia
但他承諾會對沙特予以“嚴厲懲罰”，
if it turns out that Mr. Khashoggi was killed by a Saudi hit squad in its consulate in Istanbul, as Turkish officials have said,
如果事實表明卡爾佐吉正如土耳其官員們所說的那樣是被沙特暗殺小隊殺害于沙特的伊斯坦布爾領事館的話，

Mr. Trump played an important role in anointing Crown Prince Mohammed as an attractive investment.
特朗普先生在將王儲穆罕默德打造為一位充滿吸引力的投資對象上發揮了重要的作用。

In April, Crown Prince Mohammed took a three-week tour of the United States that doubled as a road show for Saudi Arabia.

For all the differences between Davos and Riyadh, the Saudi conference, officially known as the Future Investment Initiative,
為了解決達沃斯和利雅得之間的諸多分歧，本屆沙特會議，其官方名稱為“未來投資倡議”（簡稱“FII”），
was first proposed through an invitation delivered to participants in the 2017 Davos meeting, held by the World Economic Forum.
最初是向由世界經濟論壇舉辦的2017年達沃斯會議的與會者們提出的。
“The FII offers a significant opportunity to engage with what will soon be the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund, and a monumental force in the world of global investment,”
“FII為大家接觸到即將成為全球最大的主權財富基金以及全球投資領域的一股巨大的力量的沙特主權財富基金提供了重要的契機，”
said a follow-up email sent by the organizers in April 2017 to one of the invitees.
組織者們在2017年4月向其中一位受邀者發送的一封后續電子郵件中提到。
“During the FII,” the email said, “there will also be abundant opportunities for meetings with Saudi officials from the Public Investment Fund and other leaders of the kingdom at the highest level.”
“在FII期間，”電子郵件說，“還有很多機會與公共投資基金領域的沙特官員和最高級別的其他領導人會面。”
