The official newspaper of the Russian government is an unlikely(不太可能的) source of recognition for a European news outlet critical of Vladimir Putin and providing sanctuary(庇护所；避难所) to exiled Russian journalists. But in May, two days after Russia tested its new intercontinental ballistic missile(洲际弹道导弹) system nicknamed “Satan II” by Nato, an article in Rossiyskaya Gazeta(俄罗斯政府官方报纸) prompted celebrations(引发庆祝) in a remote newsroom in the Arctic.
俄罗斯政府的官方报纸，竟然会认可一家批评普京、并为流亡俄罗斯记者提供庇护的欧洲新闻机构，这似乎不太可能。但今年5月，俄罗斯试射被北约称为“撒旦II”的新型洲际弹道导弹系统两天后，《俄罗斯报》的一篇文章让北极偏远新闻编辑室里一片欢腾。
The story about how “leading global media” reacted to the Sarmat missile test referred to just a handful of(少数；一把) outlet(媒体机构；新闻渠道)s including the BBC, Reuters, the Associated Press and France 24. But among them was the Barents Observer, a small, journalist-owned online newspaper publishing in English and Russian about northern Russia and the Euro-Arctic region from a modest office in the north-eastern Norwegian town of Kirkenes.(但其中就有《巴伦支观察者》——一份记者所有的小型在线报纸，从挪威东北部小镇希尔克内斯一间简朴的办公室，用英语和俄语报道俄罗斯北部和欧洲北极地区。)
这篇报道讲述“全球主要媒体”如何回应“萨尔马特”导弹试射，只提到少数几家媒体，包括BBC、路透社、美联社和法国24台。但其中就有《巴伦支观察者》——一份记者所有的小型在线报纸，从挪威东北部小镇希尔克内斯一间简朴的办公室，用英语和俄语报道俄罗斯北部和欧洲北极地区。
It was especially surprising given that(考虑到；鉴于) the publication had been declared an “undesirable(不受欢迎的；不良的) organisation” by the office of Russia’s prosecutor general, and half of its staff journalists are on Russia’s wanted list(在俄罗斯通缉名单上).
尤其令人意外的是，该报已被俄罗斯总检察长办公室列为“不受欢迎的组织”，且其半数记者都在俄罗斯的通缉名单上。
