Trump" to be added to the venue.
特朗普"将被添加到会场。
Trump announced the addition of his name to the institution, among other rebranding measures across the nation's capital, last year. Trump wrote on Truth Social that the board voted "almost unanimously" to close the storied venue "for safety reasons" and to begin the process of reconstruction.
特朗普去年宣布将他的名字加入该机构,以及在全国首都的其他品牌重塑措施。 特朗普在Truth Social上写道,董事会"几乎一致"投票决定"出于安全原因"关闭传奇场地并开始重建过程。
While the closing "will take place immediately", Trump said renovations cannot begin until the court "rules on the Board's approved name" and vowed to take the case to the Supreme Court if it is a "negative" ruling.
虽然关闭"将立即进行",但特朗普表示,除非法院"对董事会批准的名称做出裁决",否则无法开始翻新,并发誓将案件提交最高法院,如果它是"负面"裁决。

The judge's written order came less than an hour before the centre's board voted on the closure. This was the third time it has approved closing the centre since February, amid legal challenges to Trump's work to take greater control of the institution and memorial.
法官的书面命令是在中心董事会就关闭进行投票前不到一小时发出的。 这是自2月份以来第三次批准关闭该中心,因为特朗普对该机构和纪念馆的更大控制权的工作面临法律挑战。
In February 2025, he replaced several trustees on the centre's board and became the arts centre's chairman. Then, in December, the board decided to rename the institution and new lettering bearing Trump's full name was affixed to the centre's front portico the following day.
2025年2月,他取代了中心董事会的几名受托人,成为艺术中心的主席。 然后,在12月,董事会决定重新命名该机构,第二天,该中心的前门廊上贴上了带有特朗普全名的新字母。
The changes, including the re-naming, were followed by cancellations by artists booked at the venue and a drop in ticket sales. Most of the legal challenges to Trump's changes focus on the fact that Congress established the centre as a memorial to President John F Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963.
这些变化,包括重新命名,随后取消了在会场预订的艺术家,门票销售下降。 特朗普变化的大多数法律挑战都集中在国会建立该中心作为纪念约翰*肯尼迪总统的事实,他在1963被暗杀。
While detractors say that means Congress must approve changes to the memorial, Trump has argued that he has the power to act.
虽然批评者说这意味着国会必须批准对纪念碑的修改,但特朗普认为他有权采取行动。
"Simply put, Defendants cannot install memorials for President Trump or anyone or anything else at the Kennedy Center without Congress's blessing," US District Judge Christopher Cooper said in a written order issued on Tuesday. The judge said that the board's proposals to add language to the existing name of the centre and its surrounding campus "bucks a federal court order and a statute Congress enacted".
"简单地说,被告不能在没有国会祝福的情况下为特朗普总统或肯尼迪中心的任何人或其他任何人安装纪念碑,"美国地区法官克里斯托弗库珀在周二发 法官说,董事会关于在该中心及其周边校园的现有名称中添加语言的建议"是联邦法院命令和国会颁布的法规"。
That statute was a decision by the US legislative body to memorialise Kennedy, "and no one else, at the Center bearing his name", the order said.
该法令是美国立法机构决定纪念肯尼迪,"没有其他人,在中心以他的名字命名",命令说。
On Sunday, the Kennedy Center administration told its board that the arts institution was on the brink of bankruptcy, the Washington Post, external reported.
周日,肯尼迪中心管理局告诉其董事会,艺术机构正处于破产的边缘,华盛顿邮报,外部报道。
The administration said it was in a "precarious fiscal position" and would not be able to support its payroll obligations and routine maintenance contracts "within a matter of weeks".
政府表示,它处于"不稳定的财政状况",无法在"几周内"支持其工资义务和日常维护合同。
The current leadership at the centre has said the building is unsafe for continued occupancy, pointing to part of the ceiling falling in earlier this month.

But others close to the centre dispute that it must be closed.

The Kennedy Center did not immediately respond to the BBC's request for comment. Earlier on Tuesday, Trump confirmed the board would meet and said on Truth Social that the Kennedy Center is "in a virtual state of collapse".
肯尼迪中心没有立即回应BBC的置评请求。 周二早些时候,特朗普证实董事会将开会,并在Truth Social上表示肯尼迪中心"处于虚拟的崩溃状态"。
