請(qǐng)看例句：

A terrorist attack outside the Houses of Parliament in London on Wednesday has left four people killed and at least 40 others injured.
22日，倫敦議會(huì)大廈外發(fā)生恐怖襲擊事件，造成4人死亡，至少40人受傷。

當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間22日下午，一名男子駕駛一輛汽車(chē)從倫敦市中心議會(huì)大廈(the Houses of Parliament)附近的威斯敏斯特大橋(Westminster Bridge)由南往北沖撞行人(plow through/down pedestrians, crash into pedestrians)。汽車(chē)駛過(guò)大橋后，在議會(huì)大廈附近撞到路邊護(hù)欄(strike a guardrail)停下，襲擊者(assailant)下車(chē)持刀(be armed with knives)追趕行人并試圖進(jìn)入議會(huì)大廈(try to enter the complex)，刺死一名未持械的警察(fatally stab an unarmed policeman)后，被警方開(kāi)槍擊斃(be shot dead by the police)。

英國(guó)首相特雷莎·梅稱(chēng)這是一起"病態(tài)且卑鄙"的襲擊(the attack was "sick and depraved")，并贊揚(yáng)了警察和安全服務(wù)人員的"非凡膽略"(praise the "exceptional bravery" of police and security services)。梅表示，英國(guó)的恐怖威脅級(jí)別仍將維持在"嚴(yán)重"(the UK's terror threat level will remain at "severe")，任何想通過(guò)暴恐行為破壞英國(guó)價(jià)值觀的企圖都注定會(huì)失敗(any attempt to defeat British values through violence and terror is doomed to failure)。

倫敦警方已確認(rèn)被擊斃的嫌疑人為52歲的哈利德·馬蘇德(London police has identified the suspect, who was shot dead, as 52-year-old Khalid Masood)，他是一名土生土長(zhǎng)的英國(guó)人(a homegrown Briton)，曾因持有攻擊性武器、違反公共秩序等多項(xiàng)指控而被定罪(be convicted for a number of charges, including possession of offensive weapons and public order offenses)，但從未因任何恐怖主義罪名(terrorism offenses)被定罪。極端組織"伊斯蘭國(guó)(the Islamic State)"宣稱(chēng)對(duì)這起襲擊事件負(fù)責(zé)，并將馬蘇德稱(chēng)為"伊斯蘭國(guó)戰(zhàn)士"(claim responsibility for the attack, calling Masood its "soldier")。

中國(guó)駐英國(guó)大使館證實(shí)一名中國(guó)公民在襲擊事件中受傷(a Chinese national has been injured in the attack)，并向在英旅行、居留的中國(guó)公民發(fā)布提示(issue an alert to Chinese nationals visiting or staying in the UK)，提醒他們提高警惕性和安全意識(shí)(vigilance and safety awareness)，避免前往人群集中地區(qū)(avoid crowded areas)。
