- Obama to Talk Budget With Lawmakers
- 歐巴馬將與國會議員商討預算問題
- U.S. President Barack Obama is due to meet at the White House Friday with top Republican and Democratic lawmakers to discuss a last-ditch effort to avoid across-the-board budget cuts scheduled to take effect before the day is over.
- 美國總統歐巴馬星期五將在白宮會見共和黨和民主黨的國會領導人，商討如何在最後一刻做出努力，避免在今天限期之後全面削減開支計劃自動生效。
- The meeting is largely viewed as symbolic, after dueling bills to avoid the cuts were defeated in the Senate Thursday, making $85 billion in automatic spending cuts appear inevitable once the Friday deadline passes.
- 美國國會參議院星期四否決了旨在避免開支削減的相互競爭的法案，一旦星期五的最後期限過後，850 億美元的開支自動削減計劃看來已經勢在必行，因此歐巴馬與議員們的這次會晤多半被認為屬於象徵性質。
- President Obama has said the effects of the cuts on federal agencies - most notably defense, infrastructure spending, public schools and preschool care - will not be felt immediately, but instead will have what he calls a "tumble downward" effect.
- 歐巴馬總統曾經表示，削減聯邦各機構開支的影響不會立即被感受到，但將產生他稱作的 "逐漸下滑 " 的效應。
- That means, the longer the cuts remain in place, the worse the damage they will cause.
- 那就是開支削減持續的時間越長，造成的損害就越大；最受到關注的是國防、基礎設施經費、公立學校和學前教育等領域。
- Defense employees are expected to be forced to take unpaid time off work, while funding for big infrastructure projects will eventually halt.
- 預計國防部員工將被迫接受無薪休假，同時對大型基礎設施項目最終也將停止提供資金。

- The case prompted a Japan-wide curfew for U.S. service members.
- 這起案件導致對全體駐日美軍實行宵禁。
- Despite the curfew, misconduct involving American troops - much of it drunken - has continued to fuel anti-American sentiment in places hosting U.S. bases.
- 盡管實行了宵禁，美國軍人的不當行為繼續在日本的美軍駐地激起反美情緒；美國軍人通常是在喝醉後肇事的。
