CNN News: 特朗普政府公布基礎設施建設方案

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有關(guān)。第一則新聞，美國總統(tǒng)唐納德·特朗普公布了改善美國基礎設施的計劃，涉及道路、隧道、鐵路、水資源、電力以及寬帶互聯(lián)網(wǎng)項目。這份計劃要求對基礎設施投入1.5萬億美元，但是大部分資金不會由聯(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責。

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)開始在基礎設施項目中增加投資。白宮表示，他們希望加快這一進程。

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目過審及簽發(fā)建設許可證的過程。這一過程可能需要5到10年的時間，而特朗普政府希望能在兩年或更短的時間內(nèi)完成。政府表示，這需要國會制定行政措施并采取行動來實現(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的基礎設施退化，導致美國遠遠落后于其他國家，現(xiàn)在是時候使美國開始發(fā)展他們值得擁有的現(xiàn)代基礎設施了。

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.

但是批評人士表示，特朗普政府無法承擔所需費用。眾議院民主黨人在上周公布了民主黨版基礎設施計劃。該計劃要求聯(lián)邦政府在基礎設施上投資1萬億美元，是總統(tǒng)提出數(shù)額的5倍。環(huán)保組織表示，增加基礎設施項目的投資也可能意味著避開旨在保護土地和民眾的法規(guī)和審查。

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

特朗普政府長達53頁的基礎設施計劃是美國整體預算案的部分內(nèi)容。
