CNN News: 特朗普政府公布基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)方案

And the first three stories we're explaining this Tuesday are all related to money. The first involves a plan by U.S. President Donald Trump to improve America's infrastructure, its roads, tunnels, railways, water, power, and even broadband internet projects. It calls for $1.5 trillion to be spent on infrastructure, but most of that wouldn't come from the federal government. It would supply $200 billion in states, local governments and private investors would provide the rest of the investment.

今天前三條新聞與錢(qián)有關(guān)。第一則新聞，美國(guó)總統(tǒng)唐納德·特朗普公布了改善美國(guó)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的計(jì)劃，涉及道路、隧道、鐵路、水資源、電力以及寬帶互聯(lián)網(wǎng)項(xiàng)目。這份計(jì)劃要求對(duì)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施投入1.5萬(wàn)億美元，但是大部分資金不會(huì)由聯(lián)邦政府提供。聯(lián)邦政府將出資2000億美元，而其余投資由各州政府、地方政府以及私人投資者負(fù)責(zé)。

In recent years, states themselves have started paying more for infrastructure projects. The White House says it wants to accelerate that.

最近幾年，各州已經(jīng)開(kāi)始在基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施項(xiàng)目中增加投資。白宮表示，他們希望加快這一進(jìn)程。

It also wants to dramatically speed up the process of getting projects approved and the building permits issued for them. That could take anywhere from five to 10 years, the Trump administration wants it done in two years or less. It says it will take both executive actions and work by Congress to make that possible.

白宮還希望大幅加快項(xiàng)目過(guò)審及簽發(fā)建設(shè)許可證的過(guò)程。這一過(guò)程可能需要5到10年的時(shí)間，而特朗普政府希望能在兩年或更短的時(shí)間內(nèi)完成。政府表示，這需要國(guó)會(huì)制定行政措施并采取行動(dòng)來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)。

The president says inefficient investments by lawmakers have allowed American infrastructure to deteriorate, causing the U.S. to fall further behind other countries and that it's time to give Americans the working modern infrastructure they deserve.

總統(tǒng)表示，議員的非效率投資行為使美國(guó)的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施退化，導(dǎo)致美國(guó)遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)落后于其他國(guó)家，現(xiàn)在是時(shí)候使美國(guó)開(kāi)始發(fā)展他們值得擁有的現(xiàn)代基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施了。

But critics say the Trump administration isn't footing enough of the bill. Democrats in the House of Representatives announced their own infrastructure plan last week. It calls for the federal government to spend $1 trillion on infrastructure, five times the amount proposed by the president. And environmental groups say that spending up infrastructure projects could also mean bypassing rules and reviews meant to protect land and people.

但是批評(píng)人士表示，特朗普政府無(wú)法承擔(dān)所需費(fèi)用。眾議院民主黨人在上周公布了民主黨版基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施計(jì)劃。該計(jì)劃要求聯(lián)邦政府在基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施上投資1萬(wàn)億美元，是總統(tǒng)提出數(shù)額的5倍。環(huán)保組織表示，增加基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施項(xiàng)目的投資也可能意味著避開(kāi)旨在保護(hù)土地和民眾的法規(guī)和審查。

The Trump administration's 53-page proposal is part of its overall plan for the U.S. budget.

特朗普政府長(zhǎng)達(dá)53頁(yè)的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施計(jì)劃是美國(guó)整體預(yù)算案的部分內(nèi)容。
