The U.S. National Security Agency （NSA） has stepped up its surveillance of senior German government officials since being ordered by Barack Obama to halt its spying on Chancellor Angela Merkel, Bild am Sonntag paper reported.
歐巴馬下令美國國家安全局停止監聽德國總理梅克爾後，現在國安局已加強監聽德國政府高層官員，「週日畫報」報導。
Revelations last year about mass U.S. surveillance in Germany, in particular of Merkel’s mobile phone, shocked Germans and sparked the most serious dispute between the transatlantic allies in a decade.
去年曝光的美國在德國大規模監聽、尤其是監聽梅克爾行動電話震驚德國人，也引發這兩個跨大西洋盟邦10年來最嚴重的爭執。
Bild am Sonntag said its information stemmed from a high-ranking NSA employee in Germany and that those being spied on included Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere, a close confidant of Merkel.
週日畫報說，他們從一名美國國安局駐德國高階人員得知消息，被竊聽的人包括梅克爾的心腹、內政部長托馬斯．德麥奇耶。
"We have had the order not to miss out on any information now that we are no longer able to monitor the chancellor’s communication directly," it quoted the NSA employee as saying.
「我們接獲命令，既然不能再直接監視總理的通訊，就不要錯失任何訊息」，報導引述這名國安局人員說法。
To calm the uproar over U.S. surveillance abroad, President Obama in January banned U.S. eavesdropping on the leaders of close friends and allies of Washington.
為安撫國外對美國監聽行動的喧囂，歐巴馬1月間禁止美國竊聽華府盟友和盟邦領袖。
Germans are especially sensitive about snooping due to their experiences in the Nazi era and in Communist East Germany, when the Stasi secret police built up a massive surveillance network.
德國由於其納粹時代及共產黨統治東德時期秘密警察打造龐大監視網絡的經歷，對竊聽尤其敏感。
The mass-circulation paper said the NSA was monitoring 320 people in Germany - mostly politicians but also business leaders.
這家發行量廣大的報紙說，美國國安局在德國監聽320人，大多是政治人物，但也有商界領袖。
