The Washington Post and Guardian U.S. on Monday won the Pulitzer Prize for public service, among the most prestigious awards in journalism, for their articles based on National Security Agency documents leaked by the former government contractor Edward J. Snowden.

周一，《华盛顿邮报》和《卫报》美国版获得了普利策公共服务奖，获奖作品是讲述前政府承包商雇员爱德华·J·斯诺登(Edward J. Snowden)泄露国家安全局（National Security Agency，简称NSA）文件的文章，该奖项是新闻界最具声望的奖项之一。

Through a series of reports that exposed the N.S.A.’s widespread domestic surveillance program, The Post and Guardian U.S. set off an international debate on the limits of government surveillance. The papers also came under heavy criticism by the American and British governments, with lawmakers accusing them of compromising national security.

《卫报》和《华盛顿邮报》通过一系列报道披露了NSA覆盖广泛的国内监听项目，引发了国际社会对政府监听范围的讨论。这两家报纸还受到了美国和英国政府的严厉批评，议员们纷纷指责它们对国家安全造成了威胁。

The Pulitzer board said that it gave the award for the “authoritative and insightful reports that helped the public understand how the disclosures fit into the larger framework of national security.”

普利策委员会称，之所以把这个奖项颁给它们，是因为它们进行了“权威且深入的报道，帮助公众理解了泄密事件对于国家安全整体框架的意义”。

Alan Rusbridger, the editor of The Guardian in London, said he hoped that the public service prize might lead American authorities to reassess their position on Mr. Snowden, who has been charged by the United States and has sought asylum in Russia.

伦敦《卫报》的编辑艾伦·拉斯布里杰(Alan Rusbridger)说，他希望公共服务奖能促使美国官方重新考虑他们对斯诺登的立场。斯诺登受到了美国的指控，并已向俄罗斯寻求庇护。

“It’s about time there was a more grown-up discussion about what he’s done,” Mr. Rusbridger said. “Treating this as though it was simply a criminal matter is not an adequate response.”

“是时候对他的所作所为进行更理性的讨论了，”拉斯布里杰说，“简单地把此事作为刑事案件来处理，并不是一个合理的回应。”

David Remnick, the editor of The New Yorker, who was not a Pulitzer judge, said that the story was “the epitome of important reporting and the epitome of what public service in journalism is all about.”

《纽约客》(The New Yorker)杂志的编辑戴维·雷姆尼克(David Remnick)说，前述报道“是重大报道的典范，也是体现新闻界公共服务意义所在的典范”。雷姆尼克并未担任普利策奖评委。
