Milly Dowler's family have been offered a multimillion-pound settlement offer by Rupert Murdoch's News International, in an attempt to settle the phone-hacking case that led to closure of the News of the World and the resignation of the company's chief executive, Rebekah Brooks。

　　据知情人透露，默多克的世界新闻集团向米莉·多乐的家人提供了数百万英镑的赔偿，以解决窃听丑闻。窃听事件导致英国《世界新闻报》停刊以及其首席执行官Rebekah Brooks辞职。

　　It is understood that News International has made a settlement offer estimated by sources at close to ￡3m, a figure that include a ￡1m donation to charity. But the publisher has not yet reached agreement with the Dowler family, whose lawyers were thought to be seeking a settlement figure of closer to ￡3.5m。

　　据悉世界新闻集团向受害人家人提供大约300万英镑(大约470万美元)的赔偿，其中包括100英镑捐给慈善机构。但是新闻集团并没有与受害人家人达成协议，受害人家人的律师认为协议的数目应该接近350万英镑。

　　The seven-figure sums under negotiation are far larger than other phone-hacking settlements reached, reflecting the fact that the phone-hacking case affected a family who were victims of crime. Thirteen-year-old Dowler went missing in March 2002 and was later found murdered。

　　七位数的赔偿远远大于其他窃听事件的和解数目。这反映出这个窃听事件直接伤害了一宗凶杀案的受害者的家人。13岁的多乐在2002年3月失踪，其后发现被他人谋杀。

　　It emerged in July that Milly Dowler's mobile phone had been hacked after her death. Voicemails were accessed on behalf of the News of the World, and messages left for her were deleted to make room for more recordings. This gave the family false hope that she was still alive, because messages were disappearing。

　　七月时米莉·多乐的手机在她死后遭到窃听。世界新闻报雇佣的侦探非法入侵了她的语音信箱，为了节省更多的存储空间，雇佣侦探删除了语音信箱的信息(来自多乐家人和朋友的信息)。因为信息消失，这误使多乐的家人认为她还活着。

　　On Monday afternoon there was growing speculation that a deal is close, although other sources familiar with the negotiations indicated that there are still enough matters unresolved to mean that an agreement in principle had not yet been reached behind the scenes。

　　在周一下午很多人已经认为协议已经达成，但是其他知情人指出很多事情还没有做出决定，因而原则上和解协议并没有达成。

　　该名消息人士表示，新闻集团将赔偿300万英镑(约合470万美元)，董事长鲁珀特·默多克个人也加入了赔偿协商。

　　截至目前，多乐家人的代理律师马克-刘易斯(Mark Lewis)拒绝对此置评。
