白宮與國會星期天將再次商討結束政府部分關閉

White House officials and congressional aides will meet again Sunday to continue discussions about how to end the partial government shutdown that has affected hundreds of thousands of federal workers and caused delays and inconvenience for Americans.
白宮官員和國會工作人員星期天將再次會面，繼續討論如何結束聯邦政府的部分關閉。政府關閉影響到大約80萬聯邦僱員，並給美國公衆造成不便。

The shutdown has entered its third week.
美國聯邦政府的部分關閉已進入第三個星期。

The crux of the discussions is border security. President Donald Trump is adamant that he wants $5.6 billion to build a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico to block undocumented migrants trying to enter the U.S.
白宮與國會僵持不下的關鍵議題是邊界安全。特朗普總統堅決要得到在美墨邊界建造邊界牆的第一筆56億美元資金，阻止非法移民進入美國。

Congressional Democrats have vowed not to give the U.S. leader any money for the wall. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called the wall “immoral.”
國會的民主黨人堅決不同意爲建造邊界牆撥款。民主黨籍的衆議院議長佩洛西稱修建界牆“不道德”。

Trump tweeted late Saturday that he is going to Camp David Sunday to discuss border security and other topics with senior staff.
特朗普總統星期六晚上在推特上發文說，他星期天將在戴維營繼續討論邊界安全和其他問題。

U.S. congressional leaders and White House officials held talks Saturday in Washington in an effort to end the partial shutdown. Discussions ended a few hours later without any progress.
美國國會領袖和白宮官員星期六在華盛頓會談了幾個小時，試圖結束政府部分關閉的狀況，但是沒有取得任何進展。

Senior White House adviser, and Trump son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen were involved in the meeting Saturday, with Nielsen briefing those in attendance on border security. Democrats asked DHS for written details about the agency’s budget needs, which the White House said it would provide.
白宮高級顧問，特朗普的女婿庫什納和國土安全部長尼爾森也參加了會議，尼爾森就邊境安全問題做了簡報。民主黨人要求提供國土安全部預算需求的書面詳細說明，白宮表示將提供相關信息。

Vice President Mike Pence, who also participated in Saturday’s meeting, described the discussions as “productive” in a tweet.
參加會談的彭斯副總統在一條推文中稱這次會談“富有成效。”

Trump, however, tweeted shortly after Pence, saying, “Not much headway made today. Second meeting set for tomorrow. After so many decades, must finally and permanently fix the problems on the Southern Border!”
但是特朗普在彭斯之後不久發了推文說：“今天沒有多少進展。第二次會議定在明天。幾十年下來，現在必須最終永久解決南部邊境問題。”
