April.06 (China Military News cited from AP and written by AUDREY McAVOY) — Jury selection in the trial of a former B-2 stealth bomber engineer from Maui who is accused of selling military secrets to China is scheduled to begin in federal court Tuesday, with opening statements expected on Wednesday.

四月六日（来自美联社和作者AUDREY McAVOY中国军事新闻）—夏威夷毛伊岛的一名被控向中国出售军事机密的前B-2隐形轰炸机工程师审判的陪审员开始挑选，预定联邦法院的审判在星期二开始，并且预计在星期三开始供述。

Noshir Gowadia has pleaded not guilty to 21 counts, including conspiracy, violating the arms export control act and money laundering. The indictment accuses Gowadia of helping China design a cruise missile with stealth capabilities.

努希尔·戈瓦迪亚拒绝向21项指控认罪，包括阴谋罪、违反《武器出口管制法》以及洗钱等。起诉控告戈瓦迪亚帮助中国采用隐形能力设计一种巡航导弹。

The trial comes some 4 1/2 years after Gowadia’s arrest and more than three years after his trial was originally scheduled to be held. The 66-year-old Haiku resident has been in federal detention since his October 2005 arrest because a judge ruled he was a flight risk.

戈瓦迪亚在4年半多前被捕，而审判最初是计划于3年多前进行。因一名法官认为戈瓦迪亚有可能逃跑，这名60多岁的哈伊库居民自2005年10月被捕后一直关在联邦拘留所中。

The trial is expected to last at least two months. Ashton Gowadia said his father is looking forward to defending himself.

审判被预计至少持续二个月。努希尔·戈瓦迪亚说他的父亲期望他自己辩护。

“Dad is very confident that he will be found 100 percent innocent of any crimes,” the younger Gowadia said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.

较年轻的戈瓦迪亚在一封发给美联社的电子邮件中说，“父亲非常自信他将会被发现任何罪行100%是清白的”。

Larry M. Wortzel, commissioner of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, said the trial will be closely watched by the intelligence community, the FBI, and military because it’s one of a series of major cases involving Chinese spying on the U.S.

美中经济与安全评估委员会的拉里 M.沃策尔说，情报界、FBI和军队密切关注整个审判过程，因为这是关于中国刺探美国情报的一系列重大事件之一。

Prosecutors allege Gowadia helped design an exhaust nozzle for China that gives off less heat, making it difficult for infrared detectors to find the missile. They say Gowadia pocketed $110,000 over two years for his exhaust nozzle design.

检察官声称戈瓦迪亚为中国帮助设计一个排气喷嘴散发较小热量，使红外探测器难以发现导弹。他们称戈瓦迪亚为他的排气喷嘴设计在两年内获得$110,000。

The indictment alleges he made six trips to China from 2003 to 2005, conspiring to conceal some of his visits by getting border agents to leave immigration stamps off his passport.

起诉声称他从2003年到2005年进行了六次到中国的旅行，为了阴谋掩盖他的一些旅行还让边检人员不在其护照上盖戳。

He’s also accused of attempting to sell classified stealth technology to the Swiss government and to businesses in Israel and Germany.

他也被控告尝试对瑞士政府出售保密隐形技术并在以色列和德国交易。

Gowadia moved to the U.S. from India in the 1960s for postgraduate work. In 1968 he joined defense contractor Northrop Corp., now Northrop Grumman Corp., where he designed elements of the B-2.

戈瓦迪亚在1960年为研究生工作从印度迁往美国。在1968年他加入防卫承包商诺斯洛普公司，现在为诺斯洛普·格鲁门公司，在那里他设计了B-2的原理。

He became a U.S. citizen in the 1970s and retired from Northrop in 1986, two years before the B-2 made its public debut.

他在1970年成为一名美国公民并且在1986年从诺斯洛普退休，是在B-2进行它的公众初次登场的两年之前。
