美国联邦政府关闭进入第三天一托福阅读机经背景


    A partial U.S. government shutdown has entered its third day Thursday with no end to the deadlock in sight.

    星期四,美国联邦政府部分关闭进入第三天,目前仍看不到化解僵局的迹象。

    U.S. congressional leaders met for about an hour late Wednesday with President Barack Obama, but they emerged from the closed-door session with no progress on the budget impasse that triggered the shutdown.美国民主党领袖

    美国国会领袖们星期三夜间与奥巴马总统进行了一小时左右的会谈,但这次闭门会议未能就打破导致政府关闭的预算案僵局取得任何进展。

    House Speaker John Boehner said President Obama told him he will not negotiate a deal to reopen the government. Republican Boehner said he told the president he wants a discussion of what he called the "fairness" of Mr. Obama's signature health care program, the Affordable Care Act.

    美国国会众议院议长贝纳说,奥巴马总统表示不会就恢复政府运作进行谈判。共和党人贝纳说,他告诉奥巴马总统,他希望就奥巴马医保法案的“公正性”进行讨论。

    Republicans have wanted to tie funding the government to a delay or defunding of the health care program.

    共和党人希望通过限制对联邦政府的拨款,延迟实施医保法案或不提供实施医保法案所必需的资金。

    Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid said Democrats are happy to talk to the Republicans about anything they want, but only if a spending bill is passed and the government shutdown ends.

    参议院民主党领袖里德说,民主党人非常愿意与共和党人就任何议题进行谈判,但必须首先通过开支预算法案,结束政府关闭的状态。


    The White House called Wednesday's meeting useful and said the president is glad it took place. But before the talks, Mr. Obama told CNBC television he has "bent over backwards" to work with the Republicans. He said he is exasperated, calling the government shutdown totally unnecessary.

    白宫说,星期三的会谈是有益的,并表示奥巴马乐见其成。举行会谈之前,奥巴马在CNBC电视频道上说,他一直在竭尽所能地与共和党人合作。奥巴马说,他感到愤慨,因为这次关闭政府是毫无必要的。
