我是你們的主持人，Stephen Colbert。

I want to start off right off the bean here.

I want to start by wishing everybody a happy Veterans Day.

我想先祝大家陣亡將士紀念日快樂。

All of us here at the Late show, all of us who work here at the Late show want to send our gratitude to those who have served our nation.

我們 Late Show 的所有人，所有在這裡工作的人，都想向那些為我們國家服務過的人表達我們的感謝。

I wish I could thank every one of our troops in person and I might get the chance when Trump sends them to New York.

我希望我能親自感謝我們每一位軍人，也許有機會，當川普把他們派到紐約時。

I also want to thank everyone here in my audience tonight who braved freezing temperatures and the first snow of the season here in New York.

我也想感謝今晚在場的每一位觀眾，你們不畏嚴寒，在這裡的紐約迎來了這個季節的第一場雪。

I'm glad you say you're now safely inside the Ed Sullivan Theater where it is much colder.

很高興你們說你們現在安全地進入了艾德·蘇利文劇院，那裡冷多了。

All over the United States there are Arctic clippers coming down.

Folks are getting hit with an arctic blast down south.

南方的人們也正遭受極地寒流的侵襲。

The cold is causing all kinds of problems.

In Florida, residents were warned that iguanas paralyzed by the cold might start falling from trees as opposed to the rest of the year in Florida when reptiles falling from the trees are thrown by iguana.

在佛羅裡達，居民被警告說，被寒冷麻痺的鬣蜥可能會從樹上掉下來，這跟佛羅裡達一年中其他時候，樹上掉下來的爬行動物是被鬣蜥丟下來的很不一樣。

Dave, the guy who throws iguanas is also the mayor of Daytona Beach.

丟鬣蜥的那個傢伙，戴夫，也是迪通拿海灘的市長。

Things are getting chilly up on Capitol Hill after a small group of Democrats voted with Republicans to end the shutdown.

國會山那邊也開始變冷了，因為一小群民主黨人跟共和黨人聯手投票結束了停擺。

To end the shutdown without restoring health care subsidies.

結束停擺卻沒有恢復醫療保健補貼。

Democratic leadership has taken heat from the rank and file.

民主黨領導層受到了基層黨員的抨擊。

Chuck Schumer, who is supposed to be the leader of the Senate Democrats, reportedly gave the deal neither a blessing nor a curse and did not direct senators on how they should vote.

據報導，參議院民主黨人的領導人查克·舒默，對這項協議既沒有祝福也沒有詛咒，也沒有訓示參議員該如何投票。

Bold leadership reminds me of the stirring words of William Wallace, they may take our lives or our freedom, their choice, whatevs, whatever.

這種大膽的領導力讓我想起了威廉·華萊士那番激勵人心的話：「他們可以奪走我們的生命或自由，隨他們選，隨便啦，隨便。」

Schumer is facing fury from every part of the party.

舒默正承受著黨內各方的怒火。

Moderate House members, progressive senators, self described insurgents, establishment candidates, not to mention low rise governors, zaddy comptrollers, gluten free city managers and deputy mayors on tandem bikes.

包括溫和派眾議員、進步派參議員、自稱的叛逆者、建制派參選人，更別提那些低調的州長、有魅力的主計長、無麩質的市經理，還有騎協力車的副市長們。

這真是個非常、非常大的陣容。

The shutdown, which is technically still not over, has caused major chaos at airports across the United States where air traffic controllers have gone unpaid for so long that many have had to call out of work or even resign.

這場停擺，嚴格來說還沒結束，已經在全美國的機場造成了嚴重的混亂，機場管制員已經很久沒領到薪水了，許多人不得不請假，甚至辭職。

So yesterday he posted all air traffic controllers must get back to work.

所以昨天他發文說所有機場管制員都必須回去工作。

And now anyone who does it will be Substantially docked.

現在任何不從的，都會被大幅扣薪。

Extremely high stress, understaffed, you work six days a week, you don't get paid, and

壓力超大，人手不足，一週上六天班，還沒薪水，

Maybe a donkey could kick you in the nuts while it rains iguanas on your head.

也許會有隻驢子踢你的鳥，頭上還下著變色龍雨。

Also, good old iguana Dave, how are we going here?

還有，老朋友變色龍戴夫，我們今天過得怎麼樣？

Trump also let those controllers know he's not going to forget them playing hooky, writing.

川普也讓那些管制員知道，他不會忘記他們翹班這件事，他寫道。

You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind, against your record.

你會有一個負面記錄，至少在我心裡，會記在你帳上。

Then Trump let controllers know how easy it would be to replace them.

然後川普讓控制者知道，要取代他們有多容易。

If you want to leave service in the near future, please do not hesitate to do so.

如果你想在不久的將來退役，請不要猶豫。

Or severance of any kind, you will be quickly replaced by true patriots.

任何形式的遣散費，你很快就會被真正的愛國者取代。

Maybe I'm alone, but I don't care if the guy landing my plane is a true patriot.

也許只有我這麼想，但我不在乎開我飛機的人是不是真正的愛國者。

I don't want a surgeon saying, okay, I didn't go to med school, but

我不想聽到外科醫生說，好吧，我沒上過醫學院，但是

pretty sure the torso is where they keep all the important wet stuff.

我很有把握軀幹就是放所有重要濕器官的地方。

Trump is an old Nepo billionaire who simply does not understand how hard it is for regular people to survive these days.

川普是個老牌的靠爸富二代，他根本不懂一般人現在要怎麼活下去。

And right now, regular people are not happy.

A survey measuring consumer satisfaction with current conditions has fallen to 52.3% this month, marking the worst ever dating to 1951.

一項衡量民眾對現況滿意度的調查顯示，本月滿意度跌至 52.3%，創下自 1951 年有紀錄以來的新低。

Consumers have not felt this bad since we fed our babies cigarettes, since every man's wife was named Susan, since we did free throws like this.

消費者從來沒有感覺這麼糟過，就像我們以前餵嬰兒抽菸一樣，就像每個男人的妻子都叫蘇珊一樣，就像我們這樣投籃一樣。

Trump is doing his best to convince people that they actually like his economy that they hate.

川普正盡力說服大家，他們其實喜歡他那他們討厭的經濟。

For instance, he keeps bragging that a Thanksgiving meal basket from Walmart is 25% cheaper than last year.

舉個例子，他一直吹噓說沃爾瑪的感恩節餐籃比去年便宜了 25%。

它裡面的東西比去年少了一半。

So it's not an Apples to apples comparison, which is good, because apples are up almost 5% from last year.

所以這不是蘋果對蘋果的比較，這還不錯，因為蘋果的價格比去年漲了將近 5%。

Reminds me of the old saying, an apple a day.

這讓我想起那句老話，一天一蘋果。

One thing, one thing Americans really love is having a place to live.

有一件事，有一件事美國人真的很喜歡，那就是有地方住。

我有點像個避難所成癮者，但是

it's getting increasingly hard to afford homeownership, which is why On Saturday, Trump proposed adding a 50 year mortgage.

買房越來越難負擔了，所以川普週六提議推出 50 年預售屋貸。

而《華盛頓郵報》幫大家算了一下。

For Anyone buying a $400,000 house with a 10% down and 30 year mortgage, you would owe about $2,300 each month.

對於任何買一棟 40 萬美元的房子，付 10% 頭期款，貸款 30 年的人來說，每個月大約要還 2,300 美元。

With a 50 year loan, it would come down to about $2,000 a month so far.

如果是 50 年期貸款，每個月大約會降到 2,000 美元。

So, okay, but that doesn't take into account interest on that same home.

好的，但這還沒算上房子的利息。

A 30 year loan would mean you would pay $438,000 in total interest.

30 年期貸款意味著你總共要付 438,000 美元的利息。

But with a 50 year loan, the number jumps to $816,000.

但如果是 50 年期貸款，數字會跳到 816,000 美元。

I haven't seen a deal this bad since Payless ran their infamous promotion.

我沒見過這麼爛的交易，自從 Payless 推出他們臭名昭著的促銷活動以來。
