The Trump administration has threatened to demolish the Kennedy Center if planned renovations for the performing arts venue are not allowed to be carried out, court documents show.
法庭文件显示，特朗普政府威胁要拆除肯尼迪中心，如果不允许对表演艺术场地进行计划翻新。
Attorneys from the justice department have also asked for President Donald Trump's name to be put back on the building after it was removed in June following a court order.
司法部的律师也要求唐纳德特朗普总统的名字在6月份法院命令后被拆除后被放回大楼。
"An order blocking the Board from appropriately recognising President Trump," the lawyers argued, "will cause donors to flee, financial contributions to dry up, and structural rehabilitation to stop".
律师们辩称："阻止委员会适当承认特朗普总统的命令将导致捐赠者逃离，资金捐赠枯竭，结构修复将停止。"
The venue has been among the storied sites in Washington that Trump has sought to renovate since he returned to the White House in 2025.
自2025年特朗普重返白宫以来，该场馆一直是华盛顿历史悠久的场所之一，他一直寻求翻新。
Trump's lawyers have argued that without the renovations the venue "will deteriorate further into an unsafe, decrepit structure that will be required to be taken down".
特朗普的律师辩称，如果不进行翻新，场地"将进一步恶化，变成一个不安全、破败的建筑，必须被拆除"。
They also called the venue "embarrassing to the Nation's Capital".
他们还称该场地"令国家首都尴尬"。
After the "decrepit structure" is taken down, justice department attorney Brantley Mayers wrote, a determination of what to build on the site will follow, including the option of a large outdoor amphitheatre overlooking the Potomac River.
司法部律师布兰特利·梅耶斯写道，在这座"破旧建筑"拆除后，将决定在该地建造什么，包括在波托马克河上建造大型露天剧场的选项。
The threat to demolish the building comes just weeks after the Kennedy Center board voted to add Trump's name back to the facade of the venue and to proceed with a two-year closure for proposed renovations.
拆除建筑的威胁出现在肯尼迪中心董事会投票决定将特朗普名字重新刻回场馆外墙并推进为期两年的封闭期以进行拟议翻新后几周。
Many of the board members who voted are Trump allies who were appointed by the president.
许多投票的董事会成员是特朗普的盟友，由总统任命。
In late May, a US judge ruled that the president's name had been added to the venue unlawfully, as it cannot be renamed without congressional approval.
五月底，美国法官裁定总统的名字被非法添加到该场地，因为未经国会批准不得更名。
The judge ordered that the name be removed, and so it was taken down in June.
法官下令删除该名字，因此该名称于六月被撤下。
The case stemmed from a broader legal dispute over the renaming of the cultural institution, which US law designates as a memorial to President John F Kennedy.
此案源于关于该文化机构更名的更广泛法律争议，美国法律将其指定为纪念约翰·F·肯尼迪总统的场所。
It is the latest in series of projects that Trump has taken on since returning to Washington.
这是特朗普自回到华盛顿以来所承担的一系列项目中的最新一个。
He has been renovating the reflecting pool on the National Mall, he wants to construct a 250-foot victory arch, has demolished the White House East Wing to build a ballroom, and has added his name to institutions such as the Kennedy Center and US Institute of Peace.
他正在翻新国家广场的倒影池，想建造一座250英尺高的胜利拱门，拆除了白宫东翼以建造舞厅，并将自己的名字加入了肯尼迪中心和美国和平研究所等机构。
