CNN News: 特朗普政府公布基础设施建设方案

And the first three stories we're explaining this Tuesday are all related to money. The first involves a plan by U.S. President Donald Trump to improve America's infrastructure, its roads, tunnels, railways, water, power, and even broadband internet projects. It calls for $1.5 trillion to be spent on infrastructure, but most of that wouldn't come from the federal government. It would supply $200 billion in states, local governments and private investors would provide the rest of the investment.

今天前三条新闻与钱有关。第一则新闻，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普公布了改善美国基础设施的计划，涉及道路、隧道、铁路、水资源、电力以及宽带互联网项目。这份计划要求对基础设施投入1.5万亿美元，但是大部分资金不会由联邦政府提供。联邦政府将出资2000亿美元，而其余投资由各州政府、地方政府以及私人投资者负责。

In recent years, states themselves have started paying more for infrastructure projects. The White House says it wants to accelerate that.

最近几年，各州已经开始在基础设施项目中增加投资。白宫表示，他们希望加快这一进程。

It also wants to dramatically speed up the process of getting projects approved and the building permits issued for them. That could take anywhere from five to 10 years, the Trump administration wants it done in two years or less. It says it will take both executive actions and work by Congress to make that possible.

白宫还希望大幅加快项目过审及签发建设许可证的过程。这一过程可能需要5到10年的时间，而特朗普政府希望能在两年或更短的时间内完成。政府表示，这需要国会制定行政措施并采取行动来实现。

The president says inefficient investments by lawmakers have allowed American infrastructure to deteriorate, causing the U.S. to fall further behind other countries and that it's time to give Americans the working modern infrastructure they deserve.

总统表示，议员的非效率投资行为使美国的基础设施退化，导致美国远远落后于其他国家，现在是时候使美国开始发展他们值得拥有的现代基础设施了。

But critics say the Trump administration isn't footing enough of the bill. Democrats in the House of Representatives announced their own infrastructure plan last week. It calls for the federal government to spend $1 trillion on infrastructure, five times the amount proposed by the president. And environmental groups say that spending up infrastructure projects could also mean bypassing rules and reviews meant to protect land and people.

但是批评人士表示，特朗普政府无法承担所需费用。众议院民主党人在上周公布了民主党版基础设施计划。该计划要求联邦政府在基础设施上投资1万亿美元，是总统提出数额的5倍。环保组织表示，增加基础设施项目的投资也可能意味着避开旨在保护土地和民众的法规和审查。

The Trump administration's 53-page proposal is part of its overall plan for the U.S. budget.

特朗普政府长达53页的基础设施计划是美国整体预算案的部分内容。
