進階被動語態

In a video posted to Social media on Tuesday evening, Trump surprised some of his closest officials by demanding that the bill be revised to include $2000 payments to each eligible American more than tripled the $600 per person included in the bill.

在週二晚間發佈到社交媒體上的一段視頻中，特朗普讓一些最親密的官員感到驚訝，他要求修改該法案，將2000美元支付給每個符合條件的美國人，是該法案中每人600美元的三倍多。

I'm asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2000 or $4000 for a couple.

我要求國會修改這個法案，把低得離譜的600美元提高到2000美元，或者一對夫婦4000美元。

Current federal funding is also due to expire this Monday.

目前的聯邦資金也將在本週一到期。

If Trump does not sign the bill into law, that would furlough millions of federal workers and shut down wide swaths of the government at a time when it is rushing to distribute to coronavirus vaccines and contend with a massive hack that officials say was perpetrated by Russia.

如果特朗普不將該法案簽署為法律，這將使數百萬聯邦工作人員休假，並在政府急於分發到冠狀病毒疫苗並與官員們說是由俄羅斯實施的大規模黑客鬥爭的時候，關閉了大片的政府。

Trump, as he bashed the bill, also continued to falsely claim that he might remain in office.

特朗普在抨擊該法案的同時，還繼續謊稱自己可能繼續留任。

I'm also asking Congress to immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from this legislation and to send me a suitable bill or else the next administration will have to deliver a covert relief package.

我也要求國會立即把這項立法中的浪費和不必要的項目去掉，並給我送來一個合適的法案，否則下一屆政府就得交出一個祕密的救濟方案。

And maybe that administration will be me.

The package was the result of months of negotiations between congressional Republicans and Democrats.

該方案是國會共和黨人和民主黨人經過數月談判的結果。

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said her chamber could vote on Thursday to raise the individual payments to Americans if Republican leader Kevin McCarthy agreed to do so.

眾議院議長南希-佩洛西表示，如果共和黨領袖凱文-麥卡錫同意提高美國人的個人支付額度，她的眾議院可能在週四投票。

 Trump is scheduled to leave for Florida on Wednesday afternoon for the Christmas holiday. 

特朗普定於週三下午前往佛羅里達州參加聖誕假期。
