The sensational prediction was allegedly made by Cardinal Paolo Romeo, the archbishop of Palermo in Sicily, on a recent visit to China.
聳人聽聞的預測據稱由西西里島巴勒莫大主教保羅·羅密歐樞機主教所作，在最近的中國訪問中。
Cardinal Romeo reportedly made the startling prediction of the Pope's death during a trip to China in November 2011.
羅密歐樞機據報在2011年11月的中國之旅，作出教皇去世的驚人預測。
He seemed so sure of the fact that the people he spoke with, including Italian businessmen and Chinese representatives of the Catholic Church, were convinced that he was talking about an assassination attempt.
他看來那麽肯定該事實，因此與他說話的人，包括意大利的商人和天主教會的中國代表，都相信他是談及一項暗殺企圖。
They were so alarmed by his remarks that they reported them back to the Vatican.
他們對他的言論感到那麼震驚，因此他們向梵蒂岡回報。
The extraordinary comments were written up in a top-secret report, dated Dec 30, 2011, and delivered to the Pope by a senior cardinal, Dario Castrillon Hoyos, a Colombian, in January.
非凡的評論被寫在一份絕密報告，日期是2011年12月30日，及由一名哥倫比亞人高級樞機主教達里奧·卡斯崔隆奧約斯在今年1月傳遞給教宗。
The Vatican has reportedly opened an investigation into the claims.
梵蒂岡據報就宣稱展開調查。
The report was written in German, apparently to limit the number of people within the Vatican who would understand it if it was inadvertently leaked.
報告以德文撰寫，顯然是要限制梵蒂岡的人數，即使無意中洩露也會很少人明白。
It warns of a "Mordkomplott" – death plot – against Benedict.
它警告一項針對本篤的“Mordkomplott” - 死亡陰謀 。
The story was broken on Friday by an Italian daily, Il Fatto Quotidiano, with the headline "Plot against the Pope – he will die within 12 months".
故事週五被一份意大利日報IL Fatto Quotidiano爆出，用的標題是“針對教皇的陰謀 - 他將在一年內死亡”。
The newspaper, which has a reputation for scoops, published a page from the confidential report.
報紙一向有獨家內幕新聞的聲譽，從機密報告發佈一頁。
"During his talks in China, Cardinal Romeo predicted the death of Benedict XVI within 12 months. His remarks were expressed with such certainty and resolution that the people he was speaking to thought, with a sense of alarm, that an attack on the Pope's life was being planned," the paper reported.
在他的中國會談期間，紅衣主教羅密歐預測本篤十六世12個月內死亡。他的言論以這樣肯定和堅定的語氣表達，因此與他對話的人以為，帶著一種警報的感覺，針對教宗生命的一項攻擊正在被籌劃“該報章報導。
"Cardinal Romeo could never have imagined that the indiscreet remarks he made on the trip to China would be communicated back to the Vatican by third parties."
“羅密歐樞機可能從未想像過，他在中國之旅上的失言會由第三方傳回梵蒂岡。”
Asked about the reported comments on Friday, however, Romeo said that the words attributed to him were "absolutely without basis."
然而，週五被問到據報的評論，羅密歐說向著他的話“絕對是毫無根據的。”
"It is so outside of reality that it should not be given any consideration," Romeo was quoted by Italian news agency ANSA as saying.
“它是如此脫離現實，它不應該被給予任何考慮，”羅密歐被意大利通訊社安莎社引述所說的。
The Vatican's spokesman, Father Federico Lombardi, said the report was "so incredible that we cannot comment on it".
梵蒂岡的發言人隆巴迪神父，稱該報告是“如此令人難以置信，所以我們不能就它作評論”。
"It seems to me something that is so far from reality that I don't even want to address it," Father Lombardi said. "It seems an incredible story and I don't want to comment."
He did not deny the existence of the document to AFP, but added that it was "devoid of reality".
Cardinal Romeo also named Benedict's XVI likely successor as Cardinal Angelo Scola, the archbishop of Milan – meaning the papacy would return to an Italian after the German Benedict and his Polish predecessor, John Paul II.
He allegedly told his contacts in China that Pope Benedict could not stand Tarcisio Bertone, his Secretary of State and the Vatican's second most senior figure, amid reports of bitter power struggles going on within the Holy See.
Experts said the release of the document could be part of a power struggle within the Vatican administration to try and force Bertone to leave.
Cardinal Romeo said Benedict viewed Cardinal Scola as his ideal successor because they had similar personalities and theological outlooks.
Cardinal Scola was previously the Patriarch of Venice, but was promoted to the archbishopric of Milan by Benedict in June last year.
The most recent attempt on a pope's life was in 1981 when John Paul II was shot and critically wounded in St Peter's Square by Mehmet Ali Agca, a Turkish gunman with links to a shadowy militant group called the Grey Wolves.
It has been claimed that the assassination attempt was backed by the KGB and Bulgarian secret service, in retaliation for the pope's support for the pro-democracy Solidarity movement in his native Poland and his opposition to Communism.
