福克斯新闻 国会两院齐向“灵魂歌后”致敬(在线收听

A group of bipartisan lawmakers in the House and Senate is making a push for Aretha Franklin to posthumously get the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor.

California Democratic Senator Kamala Harris and Utah Republican Orrin Hatch have introduced a bill calling for the "Queen of Soul" to be awarded the highest commendation for civilians from Congress.

Senator Harris called Franklin's library "the soundtrack of her childhood" while Senator Hatch said that Franklin's songs lifted "all of us with songs of hope and humanity."

They are being joined in the effort by Georgia Republican Congressman Doug Collins and Michigan's Brenda Lawrence.

国会一群共和党和民主党议员正在大力推动为艾瑞莎·弗兰克林追授国会金质荣誉勋章一事。

加州民主党参议员卡马拉·哈里斯和犹他州共和党人奥林·哈奇递交了一条议案,呼吁国会给“灵魂歌后”颁发国会针对平民设立的最高荣誉。

哈里斯参议员称弗兰克林的歌曲是“她童年的背景音乐”,参议员哈奇则说,弗兰克林的歌“用希望和人性之歌升华了我们所有人的灵魂。”

乔治亚州共和党众议员道格·科林斯和密歇根州的民主党议员布伦达·劳伦斯也在努力加入他们的行列。
