“粗心”
用英语怎么说？

State secrets are necessary because safeguarding certain kinds of information stops enemies from harming the country. However, they can also be dangerous. When officials can hide the truth, they may abuse that power to cover up their mistakes. This tests the character of any government, a test that Donald Trump’s administration is currently failing. Its officials have recently shown a ridiculous double standard. They want the public to believe that the exact times American planes will take off to attack an enemy are not secret, even before the attack happens. Yet, they also claim that national security requires the departure times of deportation flights to remain completely secret, long after the deportations have occurred. In short, they handle highly sensitive information with careless behavior, while using state secrets to hide simple facts that do not put anyone in danger.

国家机密是必要的，因为保护某些类型的信息可以防止敌人伤害国家。然而，它们也可能是危险的。当官员们能够隐瞒真相时，他们可能会滥用权力来掩盖他们的错误。这考验着任何政府的品质，而唐纳德·特朗普政府目前正面临这一考验的失败。其官员最近表现出了荒谬的双重标准。他们希望公众相信，美国飞机起飞袭击敌人的确切时间并不是秘密，甚至在袭击发生之前也是如此。然而，他们又声称，在驱逐行动发生很久之后，国家安全仍要求对驱逐航班的起飞时间完全保密。简而言之，他们以粗心的大意行为处理高度敏感的信息，同时利用国家机密来隐瞒不会对任何人造成危险的简单事实。
