The US Supreme Court has temporarily allowed construction of the White House ballroom to move forward.
美国最高法院暂时允许白宫宴会厅的建设继续进行。
The decision on Friday by Chief Justice John Roberts, issued as a stay, will allow US President Donald Trump's $400m (£297m) project to continue as the high court mulls over a case aiming to halt it entirely.
首席大法官约翰·罗伯茨 (John Roberts) 周五做出的暂缓决定将允许美国总统唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 的 4 亿美元(2.97 亿英镑)项目继续进行,高等法院正在考虑一项旨在完全停止该项目的案件。
The stay will remain in place pending further action from the court.
在法院采取进一步行动之前,中止令将继续有效。
The case, originally filed by a preservation group that argues the project would become irreversible unless stopped immediately, was appealed to the high court after a federal appeals court had ordered work to halt earlier this month.
该案件最初由一个保护组织提起,该组织认为,除非立即停止,否则该项目将变得不可逆转。在联邦上诉法院本月早些时候下令停止施工后,该组织向高等法院提出了上诉。
The appeals court ruled that Trump was a "temporary tenant" of the White House and could not make the alterations without congressional approval. It gave the administration two weeks to appeal the decision.
上诉法院裁定,特朗普是白宫的“临时租户”,未经国会批准不得进行改造。 它给了政府两周的时间对该决定提出上诉。
The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a preservation group, has led the lawsuit against the ballroom, arguing it is causing irreversible damage to a historical building.
保护组织国家历史保护信托基金牵头对舞厅提起诉讼,认为它对历史建筑造成了不可逆转的损害。
"We are aware of the administrative stay," the group told the BBC on Friday. "To be clear, this is not a final decision on the merits of the government's stay application, and we await further action."
该组织周五告诉英国广播公司:“我们知道行政中止的情况。” “需要明确的是,这并不是针对政府暂缓申请的是非曲直的最终决定,我们正在等待进一步的行动。”
The court's decision represents a victory - albeit perhaps a temporary one - for Trump, who has long argued that the White House needs a larger events space, and more recently, that it was vital for national security.
法院的裁决对特朗普来说代表着一场胜利,尽管可能是暂时的,他长期以来一直认为白宫需要更大的活动空间,最近又认为这对国家安全至关重要。
Had the Supreme Court not issued a stay, or chosen to rule against the Trump administration, the White House would have been legally obligated to halt construction on Friday.
如果最高法院没有发出中止令,或者选择对特朗普政府做出不利于特朗普政府的裁决,白宫将有法律义务在周五停止施工。
The president has asserted that the new ballroom is needed to "accommodate people for grand parties, State Visits", and has also said that it is "vital for National Security".
总统声称,新宴会厅需要“为参加盛大聚会和国事访问的人们提供便利”,并表示它“对国家安全至关重要”。
Government lawyers have argued the additional security complex and features included in the ballroom project are needed to protect the White House complex from drones, ballistic missiles, biohazards and other threats - changes essential to protecting the president, his family, and staff.
政府律师认为,需要在舞厅项目中增加额外的安全综合体和功能,以保护白宫综合体免受无人机、弹道导弹、生物危害和其他威胁的影响——这些变化对于保护总统、他的家人和工作人员至关重要。
In an emergency filing to the high court before the stay, the US Solicitor General D John Sauer argued construction on the ballroom had to continue for safety reasons.
在中止之前向高等法院提交的一份紧急文件中,美国副检察长约翰·绍尔 (D John Sauer) 辩称,出于安全原因,舞厅的施工必须继续进行。
While initially billed as a 650-person ballroom that would incorporate the existing building when it was announced in July 2025, revised plans later expanded it to have a capacity of 900, and then about 1,000, with the entire structure of the East Wing being demolished in the process.
2025 年 7 月宣布该计划时,最初被宣传为可容纳 650 人的宴会厅,将与现有建筑合并在一起,但后来修改后的计划将其扩大到可容纳 900 人,然后是约 1,000 人,在此过程中东翼的整个结构都被拆除。
The ballroom building would consist of the large entertaining space above ground and also a security complex below ground. Trump doubled down on the need for the space after an assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in April.
宴会厅建筑将由地上的大型娱乐空间和地下的安全综合体组成。 在四月份白宫记者协会晚宴上发生暗杀企图后,特朗普更加强调了对这个空间的需求。
But the Trust, which filed a lawsuit in December, has argued there was no basis to "disturb" the White House and argued that having a ballroom is not a national security emergency. They argued federal review panels should be able to weigh in on the plans before more work is done.
但该信托基金于 12 月提起诉讼,辩称没有理由“扰乱”白宫,并辩称拥有舞厅并不是国家安全紧急情况。 他们认为,在完成更多工作之前,联邦审查小组应该能够对这些计划进行权衡。
The US Congress was not consulted before bulldozers took to the building.
推土机开进大楼之前没有征求美国国会的意见。
The ballroom project, along with the helipad being constructed on the South Lawn, are just part of the president's wider effort to transform Washington's cityscape, which have also included the renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and a planned "Arc de Trump" larger than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
宴会厅项目以及正在南草坪建造的直升机停机坪只是总统改造华盛顿城市景观的更广泛努力的一部分,其中还包括翻新林肯纪念堂倒影池和计划中比巴黎凯旋门还要大的“特朗普凯旋门”。
In each case, the administration has faced allegations that the projects sidestepped legally required review and public-comment processes -- a charge that Trump vehemently denies.
在每一个案例中,政府都面临着这些项目回避了法律要求的审查和公众评论程序的指控——特朗普强烈否认了这一指控。
