過去完成式

In a statement, Mr Trump said there was sufficient reason to believe Lisa Cook had made false statements on mortgage agreements.

特朗普先生在一份聲明中說，有充分理由相信麗莎-庫克在抵押協議上做了虛假陳述。

In a defiant reply, Lisa Cook hit back saying President Trump purported to fire me for cause when no cause exists under the law.

麗莎-庫克在一封挑釁性的回信中反擊說，特朗普總統聲稱解僱我是有原因的，但根據法律，並不存在任何原因。

Well, President Trump has long urged the Fed to slash interest rates, but this has largely been resisted.

長期以來，特朗普總統一直敦促美聯儲降低利率，但這在很大程度上遭到了抵制。

The Federal Reserve, led by Jerome Powell, is tasked with deciding monetary policy and maintaining financial stability.

由傑羅姆-鮑威爾上司的美聯儲負責決定貨幣政策和維護金融穩定。

Donald Trump has launched regular attacks on Mr Powell and once described him as a numbskull.

唐納德-特朗普（Donald Trump）經常對鮑威爾先生髮起攻擊，並曾形容他是一個麻木不仁的人。

Our North America correspondent, Peter Bowes, told us more about the decision by President Trump.

我們的北美記者彼得-鮑斯（Peter Bowes）向我們詳細介紹了特朗普總統的決定。

Never before has a president taken such action against a member of the Federal Reserve, one of the governors.

在此之前，從未有一位總統對美聯儲成員，也就是其中一位理事採取過這樣的行動。

And these terms are deliberately long to avoid any political interference.

為了避免任何政治干擾，這些條款都被刻意拉長。

They're renewed or they're staggered in terms of their renewal every two years.

它們每兩年更新或交錯更新一次。

So they're designed to live above politics.

是以，它們的設計是為了凌駕於政治之上。

But President Trump has, as we've heard, posted on social media that he is firing Lisa Cook.

但正如我們所聽到的，特朗普總統在社交媒體上發佈消息稱，他將解僱麗莎-庫克。

And in fact, we have just had a reaction from Lisa Cook, saying that as far as she is concerned, the president has no authority to sack her.

事實上，我們剛剛從麗莎-庫克那裡得到迴應，她說就她而言，總統無權解僱她。

In fact, she says that she will continue doing her job.

事實上，她說她會繼續做她的工作。

In fact, she released a statement through her lawyers, with the lawyers chiming in as well, saying that they will take whatever action necessary to reverse this illegal attempt by the president to get rid of Lisa Cook.

事實上，她通過律師發表了一份聲明，律師們也表示，他們將採取一切必要行動，扭轉總統試圖除掉麗莎-庫克的非法企圖。

So this is to be continued in terms of whether she really has been dismissed, whether she indeed has the authority to continue in her job, and potentially what the president's next move is.

是以，她是否真的被解職，她是否有權繼續工作，以及總統的下一步行動可能是什麼，這些都有待繼續觀察。
