President Joe Biden is nearing his 100th day in office as president of the United States. During his campaign, Biden promised to reach several goals in his first 100 days as leader.
乔·拜登作为美国总统即将就任100天。在大选期间,拜登承诺在就职前100天要达成数个目标。
So far, his administration has centered its efforts on gaining control of the COVID-19 crisis. And Biden has honored most of his campaign promises connected to that issue.
迄今为止,拜登政府一直将工作重心放在控制新冠肺炎危机上。拜登兑现了与该问题有关的大部分竞选承诺。
The president also met a number of promised actions on climate change and the economy. But other issues have proved to be more difficult for the administration, including immigration. Biden is struggling with how to enact1 promised reforms in the face of a sharp increase in the number of foreign children seeking to cross the border. On some of his promises, Biden is waiting for Congress to act.
拜登总统在气候变化与经济方面也实现了一些承诺。但是事实证明,包括移民在内的其它问题对政府来说更加困难。面对寻求越境的外国儿童人数急剧增加,拜登正在苦苦应对如何实施承诺的改革。在他的一些承诺上,拜登正等着国会的行动。
