過去完成式

This mostly-built, 84,000-square-foot recreation center close to Mobile, Alabama, had been on track for an on-time completion by Nov. 1.

該娛樂中心位於阿拉巴馬州莫比爾市附近，佔地 84,000 平方英尺，已基本建成，預計將於 11 月 1 日按時完工。

But the construction site's superintendent says he is now looking at a three-week delay after about half of his workers stayed home for days out of fear of being arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

但該建築工地的監理說，由於擔心被移民和海關執法局逮捕，約有一半的工人在家裡呆了好幾天，現在他正考慮將工期延後三週。

This particular job here is a huge job for the community.

這項特殊的工作對社區來說是一項艱鉅的任務。

Well, the community is going to miss out if we can't get it finished.

如果我們不能完成它，社區就會錯過機會。

Superintendent Robbie Robertson, who chose to conceal his face, told Reuters that it was a recent ice raid on a job site in Florida, more than 200 miles away, that spooked his staff.

總監羅比-羅伯遜（Robbie Robertson）選擇了隱藏自己的面容，他告訴路透社記者，是最近在 200 多英里外的佛羅里達州的一個工地上發生的冰雪襲擊嚇壞了他的員工。

I know that we have lost a lot of our workers because of their hearing about these raids.

我知道，我們已經失去了很多工人，因為他們聽說了這些襲擊。

We have got some of them back, but we're still, we're now about half capacity, which basically hurts our work production.

我們已經恢復了部分產能，但我們現在的產能仍然只有一半左右，這基本上損害了我們的工作生產。

Immigration raids on building sites, part of an expanding crackdown by President Donald Trump on work sites across the country, are causing major disruptions to the construction industry, according to Reuters interviews.

根據路透社的採訪，對建築工地的移民突襲是美國總統唐納德-特朗普在全國範圍內擴大打擊工地行動的一部分，正在對建築業造成重大幹擾。

Robertson said his company faces a $4,000 penalty for every day it runs past its Nov. 1 deadline, already a potential cost of $84,000.

羅伯遜說，他的公司每超過 11 月 1 日的最後期限一天，就會面臨 4,000 美元的罰款，潛在成本已達 84,000 美元。

And those raids happen a good bit away from here.

而這些襲擊都發生在離這裡很遠的地方。

There's a lot of closer jobs than this one, so I know they're all being affected as well.

比這更近的工作還有很多，所以我知道他們也都受到了影響。

About 1.4 million of the roughly 11 million people in the U.S. illegally work in construction, more than any other industry.

在美國約 1100 萬非法從業人員中，約有 140 萬人在建築業工作，比其他任何行業都多。

That's according to the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank.

這是無黨派智庫移民政策研究所（Migration Policy Institute）的數據。

And construction industry leaders say those workers are hard to replace with native-born Americans, because most don't have the skills.

建築行業的領導者說，這些工人很難被土生土長的美國人取代，因為大多數人都不具備相關技能。

The Hispanic descent, they basically are stepping up and will do some of the hard work.

西班牙裔人基本上都會挺身而出，做一些艱苦的工作。

But I am a Trump supporter, like I said, and I do think there is a way to go about doing this, but I just don't think the raids is the answer.

但我是特朗普的支持者，就像我說的，我確實認為有辦法做到這一點，但我不認為突襲是答案。

A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said ICE raids have helped combat dangerous activities such as labor trafficking and exploitation.

國土安全部發言人說，移民及海關執法局的突襲行動有助於打擊勞工販運和剝削等危險活動。

Robertson said his company and its subcontractors already verify that workers are in the country legally through the government's E-Verify program, a widely used online system which checks employment eligibility.

羅伯遜說，他的公司及其分包商已經通過政府的 E-Verify 計劃核實工人在該國的合法身份，該計劃是一個廣泛使用的在線系統，用於檢查就業資格。

Meanwhile, the deportation push is beginning to affect public opinion.

與此同時，遞解出境的推動也開始影響公眾輿論。

Trump's approval rating on immigration fell to 41 percent in a Reuters-Ipsos poll this month, the lowest since his return to the White House.

在路透社-益普索（Reuters-Ipsos）本月的一項民意調查中，特朗普在移民問題上的支持率降至 41%，這是他重返白宮以來的最低點。
