With the unrest continuing in Libya, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi said on Tuesday he would not step down despite a nationwide revolt against his rule, vowing to die in Libya as a martyr.

利比亚骚动不安持续着，利比亚领导人格达费周二说，尽管全国性的反叛对抗他的统治，他将不会下台，誓言要作为烈士死在利比亚。

[Muammar Gaddafi, Libyan Leader]:

“Muammar Gaddafi is not occupying a position to resign from the same way other presidents did, Gaddafi is not a president. He is a leader of a revolution.”

[利比亚领袖格达费]：“格达费不是占着像其他总统一样辞职的位置上，格达费不是总统，他是革命领袖。”

Facing the greatest challenge to his 41-year rule, Gaddafi in a fiery but rambling address, called protesters “rats and mercenaries” who wanted to turn Libya into an Islamic state.

面对41年统治中最大的挑战，格达费在激昂但漫淡式的演说中，称抗议者是想要把利比亚转变成伊斯兰国家的“老鼠与受雇者”。

[Muammar Gaddafi, Libyan Leader]:

“The Libyan Penal code before the revolution says, each Libyan who uses weapons against Libya is sentenced to death.”

格达费说：“在革命前的利比亚刑法法条说，每个使用武器对抗利比亚的利比亚人，要判死刑。”

Libya’s security forces have cracked down fiercely on demonstrations across the country, in which more than 200 have been reportedly killed and hundreds more injured.

利比亚安全部队激烈地镇压全国的示威行动，据报导已有超过200人死亡，还有数百人受伤。”
