Hungary’s new government will on Wednesday reveal the names of tens of thousands of state informants(线人，告密者) from the communist era in an attempt to(试图，为了) confront the past(直面历史) and rebuild(重建，恢复) public trust.
匈牙利新政府将于周三公布共产主义时期数万名国家线人的姓名，试图以此直面历史、重建公众信任。
From 1945 to 1989, Hungary’s communist state-security services relied on(依靠，依赖) an extensive(广泛的，庞大的) network of informants to monitor society and suppress(压制，镇压) dissent(异见，异议). Some were blackmailed(被勒索，被敲诈) or coerced(被强迫，被胁迫) into reporting on(举报，汇报) neighbours, friends, colleagues and even family members; others were recruited(被招募) through promises of various advantages.
1945年至1989年间，匈牙利共产党国家安全机关依靠庞大的线人网络监控社会、压制异见。有些人遭到勒索或胁迫，被迫告发邻居、朋友、同事甚至家人；另一些人则是被各种好处许诺招募进来的。
For decades, the extent(程度，规模) of this network was hidden from public view(不为公众所见). The “agent files”, held in the basement of the Historical Archives of the State Security services, remained largely inaccessible(难以获取的，无法接近的) to the public, despite repeated calls(尽管一再呼吁) and partial leaks(泄露，外泄).
几十年来，这个网络的规模一直不为公众所知。存放在国家保安局历史档案馆地下室的“特工档案”，尽管屡有公开呼吁、也有部分内容外泄，但基本上仍不向公众开放。
