Donald Trump is blaming opposition lawmakers for fueling stories that he abused women before becoming president of the United States.

川普指責反對派議員在他被控擔任美國總統(tǒng)之前虐待婦女一事上煽風點火。

On Monday, 56 members of the U.S. House of Representatives called on House leaders to investigate reports of sexual wrongdoing by Trump. All 56 are female and members of the Democratic Party.

周一，56名眾議員呼吁眾議院領(lǐng)袖對川普性行為不當?shù)膱蟮肋M行調(diào)查。所有這56名眾議員都是女性和民主黨成員。

Tuesday, the president denied knowing any of the women who claim he abused them. He published the denial on the social networking website Twitter.

周二，川普在社交媒體網(wǎng)站推特上發(fā)文，否認認識任何一名指控他的女性。

Trump wrote that the Democrats have been unable to prove his presidential election campaign worked with Russia. He added that "they are moving on to the false accusations and fabricated stories of women who I don't know and/or have never met."

川普寫道，民主黨無法證實他在總統(tǒng)競選中同俄羅斯勾結(jié)。他補充說，“他們現(xiàn)在轉(zhuǎn)向了這些虛假的指控和這些婦女所捏造的故事。我不認識這些婦女，也從沒見過她們。”

Trump also criticized New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat. On Monday, Gillibrand told CNN she believed Trump's accusers. She said many of their stories "are heartbreaking."

川普還批評了紐約參議員、民主黨人克里斯汀·吉利布蘭德(Kirsten Gillibrand)。周一，吉利布蘭德對CNN表示，她相信川普的指控者。她說，她們的很多故事都“讓人心碎。”

Gillibrand joined three other Democratic senators in calling on Trump to resign from the presidency immediately. She said if he does not do so, Congress "should have appropriate investigations of his behavior and hold him accountable."

吉利布蘭德聯(lián)合其他三名民主黨參議員呼吁川普立即辭去總統(tǒng)職務(wù)。她說，如果川普不這樣做，國會就“應(yīng)該對他的行為進行適當?shù)恼{(diào)查，并追究他的責任。”

On Twitter, Trump called Gillibrand a "lightweight." He said she has "begged" him for campaign donations "and would do anything for them."

川普在推特上稱吉利布蘭德是一個“小人物”。川普說，她向他“乞求”競選捐款，“并愿意為此做任何事情。”

On Monday, the 56 lawmakers sent a letter to Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy, who heads the House Committee on Oversight and Government Relations. The letter was also sent to Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the committee.

周一，這56名眾議員給共和黨眾議員特雷·高迪(Trey Gowdy)寫信，他是眾議院監(jiān)督和政府關(guān)系委員會的主席。這封信還發(fā)給了該委員會的民主黨高層埃里耶·卡明斯(Elijah Cummings)。

The letter noted that "at least 17 women have publicly accused the president of sexual misconduct." It said "The American people deserve a full inquiry into the truth of these allegations. The president's own remarks appear to back up the allegations...(He) feels at liberty to perpetrate such conduct against women. We cannot ignore the multitude of women who have come forward with accusations against Mr. Trump."

信中指出，“至少有17名女性公開指責總統(tǒng)存在性行為不端。”信中還說，“應(yīng)當為了美國人民，對這些指控的真相進行全面調(diào)查?？偨y(tǒng)自己的言論似乎支持了這些指控......他覺得自己可以自由地對女性實施這種行為，我們不能忽視多位已經(jīng)出面指控川普先生的女性。”

The letter invites Trump to provide evidence that will show he did not do what the women accuse him of doing.

這封信要求川普提供證據(jù)，證明他沒有做過被這些女性指控的行為。

Three women who accused Trump last year of making unwanted sexual advances repeated their claims on Monday. They called on Congress to investigate. They noted that many other powerful men have been punished recently for their mistreatment of women.

去年指控川普做出不當性騷擾的三名女性周一再次重申了她們的指控。她們呼吁國會進行調(diào)查。她們指出，最近很多有權(quán)勢的男性因為錯誤對待女性而受到了懲罰。

During the 2016 election campaign, at least 12 women accused Trump of sexual misconduct. He denied all of the accusations.

在2016年總統(tǒng)競選期間，至少有12名女性指控川普性行為不端。他否認了所有這些指控。

On Sunday, Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, spoke in support of the growing number of women who have reported abuse.

美國駐聯(lián)合國大使尼基·黑利(Nikki Haley)周日發(fā)表講話支持越來越多站出來報告虐待的女性。

Haley told CBS News that any woman who has felt violated or mistreated by a man has every right to stand up, even if she is accusing Trump.

黑利對CBS新聞表示，任何覺得受到男性侵犯或虐待的女性都有權(quán)利站出來，哪怕她指控的是川普。

"Women who accuse anyone should be heard," Haley said. "They should be heard, and they should be dealt with."

黑利說：“指控任何人的女性都應(yīng)該得到聆聽。她們應(yīng)該得到聆聽和處理。”

In a statement on Monday, the Trump administration again rejected the women's claims against the president.

川普政府周一在一份聲明中再次否認了這些女性對總統(tǒng)的指控。

Also on Monday, administration spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said "we feel these allegations have been answered" by the results of the election. "The American people knew this and voted for the president," she added.
