US Court to Hear Arguments on New Travel Ban

美國法院就川普新旅行禁令展開聆訊

A court in the United States has ordered a hearing next week on President Donald Trump's new executive order on immigration.

美國一家法院已經下令于下周對川普總統(tǒng)新簽署的移民行政命令進行聽證。

The order suspends the country's refugee admissions program and bars entry to people from six countries. In all six, most of the population is Muslim.

該行政命令凍結了美國的難民接收方案，并禁止來自6個國家的公民入境。在這全部六個國家中都是以穆斯林為主要人口。

Officials in Hawaii have disputed the legality of the order, which is to take effect on March 16th. The court will hear arguments in the case March 15th.

夏威夷州官員已經對將于3月16日生效的這項命令的合法性提出了質疑。法院將在3月15日就這起案件展開聆訊。

The executive order blocks the approval of new U.S. visas to citizens of Iran, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Somalia and Sudan. The travel ban will be in effect for 90 days.

該行政命令禁止向伊朗、敘利亞、也門、利比亞、索馬里和蘇丹公民發(fā)放新的美國簽證。這項旅行禁令將實行90天。

The order also bars refugees from entering the United States for 120 days. Trump says the measure is necessary to protect national security. He has dismissed critics who say it targets Muslims.

該行政命令還禁止難民在120天內進入美國。川普表示這項措施對保護美國國家安全來說是必須的。他還駁斥了聲稱這項命令是針對穆斯林的批評人士。

U.S. federal courts suspended enforcement of an earlier version of the executive order.

美國聯(lián)邦法院凍結了上個版本的行政命令的執(zhí)行。

The top law enforcement official in Hawaii said on Monday that the new order is just a new version of a Muslim ban.

夏威夷州最高執(zhí)法官員周一表示，這項新的行政命令只是禁穆令的新版本。

State attorney general Doug Chin said "under the pretense of national security, it still targets immigrants and refugees."

夏威夷州總檢察長道格·金(Doug Chin)表示，“該行政命令仍然是以國家安全為借口，針對移民和難民。”

The executive order says the government must improve its investigation of those who seek to enter the United States. It says the six countries named in the order have a compromised ability to provide the necessary information to ensure people entering the U.S. are not a threat.

該行政命令表示，政府必須提高對尋求進入美國的人士的調查，并稱該命令中提到的6個國家審查不力，無法提供必要信息確保進入美國的人士不構成威脅。

Iraq was included in the first executive order, but was removed after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said his office was in contact with the Iraqi government. He said they were working to improve the system for investigating the security risk of Iraqi citizens.

伊拉克被列入第一版的行政命令中，但是在美國國務卿蒂勒森聲稱國務院已經同伊拉克政府展開接觸后被移出了名單。蒂勒森表示，他們正在努力改善伊拉克公民安全風險的調查機制。

Iraqi Foreign Minister Ahmed Jamal told the Associated Press that removing his country from the order will improve cooperation in the fight against Islamic State militants.

伊拉克外長艾哈邁德·賈馬爾(Ahmed Jamal)對美聯(lián)社表示，將伊拉克從名單中刪除將會加強兩國在打擊伊斯蘭國激進分子方面的合作。

Mohamed Naji works for the Sudan Tribune news website in Paris. He said officials in Sudan are "furious" about the order because they were "involved in a process that was supposed to lead to all U.S. sanctions being lifted."

穆罕默德·納吉(Mohamed Naji)就職于巴黎的《蘇丹論壇報》新聞網站。他說，蘇丹官員對該命令感到憤怒，因為他們參與了一項原本應該讓美國取消所有制裁的進程。

Naji said that process began during the presidency of George W. Bush. He said Sudan "is wondering if there has been a setback in the process, especially given that President Trump's executive order lists Sudan among states sponsoring terrorism."

納吉表示，這一進程始于小布什總統(tǒng)期間。他說，蘇丹希望知道這一進程是否出現(xiàn)了挫折，尤其是考慮到川普總統(tǒng)的行政命令將蘇丹列為支持恐怖主義的國家。

In the United States, several congressional leaders have expressed support for the new executive order. Trump's Republican Party controls both the House of Representatives and the Senate. But most Democratic Party lawmakers and human rights organizations oppose the measure. Some critics called it "racist and anti-Islamic."

在美國，一些國會領導人對這項新的行政命令表達了支持。川普的共和黨控制了參眾兩院。但是大多數(shù)民主黨議員和人權組織反對這一措施。一些批評者稱它為“種族主義和反伊斯蘭的”命令。

House Speaker Paul Ryan said the order helps to support "our shared goal" of protecting the United States. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said he believes the new order will not be considered as a religious ban and will not be blocked by the courts. Reports say the new order was written to deal with the concerns of the federal judges who blocked the first order.

眾議院議長保羅·瑞恩(Paul Ryan)表示，這項命令有助于支持我們保護美國的共同目標。共和黨參議員林賽·格雷厄姆(Lindsey Graham)表示，他認為這項新的命令不會被視為一項宗教禁令，也不會被法院凍結。有報道稱，制定這項新的行政命令是為了應對凍結了第一份命令的聯(lián)邦法院的擔憂。

Graham said he believed the new order to be "a ban on individuals coming from compromised governments and failed states."

格雷厄姆表示，他認為新的行政命令“禁止的是那些來自政府審查不利和國家管理混亂的個人。”

Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders expressed sharp disagreement with Republican supporters of the ban. He said the order targets Muslims in "an attempt to divide us up. This isn't about keeping America safe. A president who respected our traditions of religious freedom would not have resorted to hateful, anti-Islamic rhetoric to justify [the] ban."

民主黨參議員伯尼·桑德斯(Bernie Sanders)表達了他同支持該禁令的共和黨人士之間的尖銳分歧。他說，這項命令針對穆斯林“是企圖分裂我們。這不是為了保證美國安全?？偨y(tǒng)若尊重我們的宗教自由傳統(tǒng)，就不應該使用仇恨、反伊斯蘭的言論來為這項禁令制造理由。”

The International Rescue Committee provides humanitarian aid to 40 countries and has helped resettle refugees in 28 U.S. cities. It said the new order is a threat to the 60,000 refugees who have already been investigated, but are still in crisis areas.

國際救援委員會向40個國家提供人道主義援助，并幫助在美國28個城市重新安置難民。該委員會表示，這項新的行政命令對6萬名已經接受調查但是仍然身處危機地區(qū)的難民是一項威脅。

The IRC said the American resettlement program is considered "the world's most successful and secure." It said there has not been a deadly terrorist attack by a refugee in the U.S. since the resettlement program began in 1980.

國際救援委員會表示，美國的重新安置項目被認為是“全球最成功和最可靠的。”它說，自從1980年開始這一重新安置項目以來，沒有任何一起致命恐怖襲擊是由難民發(fā)起的。
