The accused attacker, 24-year-old Hadi Matar of Fairview, New Jersey, pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted murder and assault at a court appearance on Saturday, his court-appointed lawyer, Nathaniel Barone, told Reuters.
法院指定的律師納撒尼爾·巴龍告訴路透社，被指控的襲擊者是來自新澤西州費爾維尤的24歲的哈迪·馬塔爾，周六在法庭出庭時，他對謀殺未遂和襲擊的指控表示不認罪。
Rushdie, 75, was set to deliver a lecture on artistic freedom at Chautauqua Institution in western New York when police say Matar rushed the stage and stabbed the Indian-born writer, who has lived with a bounty on his head since his 1988 novel "The Satanic Verses" prompted Iran to urge Muslims to kill him.
警方表示，現年75歲的拉什迪在紐約州西部的肖托夸研究所準備發表關於藝術自由的演講時，馬塔爾突然衝上講台，刺傷了這位出生於印度的作家。拉什迪一直被懸賞刺殺，因為他1988年出版的小說《撒旦詩篇》惹怒了伊朗，從此號召穆斯林對他進行刺殺。
Following hours of surgery, Rushdie was on a ventilator and unable to speak as of Friday evening, according to his agent, Andrew Wylie. The novelist was likely to lose an eye and had nerve damage in his arm and wounds to his liver, Wylie said in an email.
據拉什迪的經紀人安德魯·懷利說，在幾個小時的手術後，截至周五晚上，拉什迪一直戴著呼吸機，無法說話。懷利在一封電子郵件中表示，這位小說家可能會失去一隻眼睛，手臂神經受損，肝臟也有損傷。
