英语新闻听写 美国国会欲结束边境争议

 

According to a report by Reuters, on Thursday, the US Congress aimed to end a dispute over border security with legislation

据路透社报道，周四，美国国会打算通过一项法案来结束边境安全问题上存在的争议。

that would ignore President Donald Trump¹'s request for 5.7 billion dollars to build a wall on the US-Mexico border and, in doing so, avoid another partial government shutdown.

这项法案将会无视美国总统唐纳德·特朗普提出的将57亿美元用在美墨边境修建边境墙的要求，从而避免政府再次部分关门。

Reuters reports that the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Justice and others, the Senate and House of Representatives are all racing² against a midnight Friday deadline to pass the legislation.

据路透社报道，周五晚上是通过这项法案的最后截止期限，现在，美国农业部、商务部、司法部和其他部门、参众两院都在赶在截止日之前通过它。

Doing so would reportedly give Trump time to review the measure and sign it into law before temporary funding for about one-quarter of the government expires.

据报道，这样做将给特朗普时间来审查该措施，并在大约四分之一政府的临时资金到期之前将其签署为法律。
