US President Donald Trump's plans for building a massive arch appear to be moving ahead, after a federal advisory council terminated talks on how to handle the 250-foot structure's possible effects on nearby historic sites.
在联邦咨询委员会终止了有关如何处理这座 250 英尺高的建筑对附近历史遗迹可能产生的影响的谈判后，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普建造一座巨大拱门的计划似乎正在推进。
The council, led by Trump appointees, announced on Thursday it was ending required consultations on the project, saying historic preservation officers from Washington and Virginia had refused to sign off on harm-mitigation plans.
该委员会由特朗普任命的官员领导，周四宣布将结束该项目所需的磋商，并表示来自华盛顿和弗吉尼亚州的历史保护官员拒绝签署减轻危害计划。
Construction was already expected to begin this month, but opposition has been growing.
施工预计将于本月开始，但反对声音不断增加。
On Friday, Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth blasted plans to use the arch for defence as "foolhardy" and called it "yet another Trump vanity project".
周五，民主党参议员塔米·达克沃斯(Tammy Duckworth)抨击利用拱门进行防御的计划是“鲁莽的”，并称其为“又一个特朗普的虚荣项目”。
A look at the design plans for Trump's triumphal arch as proposed in April Earlier this week Trump announced that the proposed "Triumphal Arch" would double as a complex to store military equipment, complete with the ability to deploy snipers and drones from the roof and plaza.
看看四月份提出的特朗普凯旋门的设计方案 本周早些时候，特朗普宣布拟议的“凯旋门”将兼作军事装备储存设施，并能够从屋顶和广场部署狙击手和无人机。
In a letter to the Pentagon and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Duckworth said they "must reject this foolhardy plan and instead focus on increasing the safety of the airspace".
达克沃斯在给五角大楼和联邦航空管理局（FAA）的一封信中表示，他们“必须拒绝这一鲁莽的计划，而应集中精力提高空域的安全”。
The arch is to be built just outside Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, and about 4mi (6km) from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, the site of the deadly 2025 midair crash between a military helicopter and commercial plane.
该拱门将建在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿国家公墓外，距离罗纳德·里根华盛顿国家机场约 4 英里（6 公里），该机场是 2025 年军用直升机和商用飞机发生致命空难的地点。
"The American people cannot afford to stand witness to Trump's risky plan to place a 250-foot (72m) structure along a busy approach path, especially if he follows through on plans to station snipers on the arch and fly drones," Duckworth wrote in the letter, which was obtained by the BBC's US partner, CBS News.
达克沃斯在信中写道：“美国人民无法目睹特朗普在繁忙的进场路径上建造250英尺（72m）高的建筑的冒险计划，特别是如果他执行在拱门上部署狙击手和驾驶无人机的计划的话。”
The FAA, however, ruled last week that the massive structure would not pose a risk to flights coming into and out of the airport.
然而，美国联邦航空局上周裁定，这座巨大的建筑不会对进出机场的航班构成风险。
On Thursday, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, led by Trump appointees, announced it was ending required consultations with local officials about how the structure might affect 42 historic properties in the area.
周四，由特朗普任命的人员领导的历史保护咨询委员会宣布，将结束与当地官员就该建筑可能如何影响该地区 42 处历史建筑进行必要的磋商。
The council said in the announcement that the National Park Service, which oversees federal landmarks, had proposed a plan for mitigating potential harms to those properties, but local historic preservation officers "raised concerns with the purpose and need of the Triumphal Arch".
该委员会在公告中表示，负责监管联邦地标的国家公园管理局已提出一项计划，以减轻对这些财产的潜在危害，但当地历史保护官员“对凯旋门的目的和需求表示担忧”。
They also questioned whether the service had adequately identified possible harms and planned sufficient actions to address them. Federal and state officials are not required to reach an agreement on a project's harm-mitigation plans, and those consultations are allowed to be terminated if both sides can't agree.
他们还质疑该部门是否充分识别了可能的危害并计划了足够的行动来解决这些问题。 联邦和州官员无需就项目的减害计划达成协议，如果双方不能达成一致，则可以终止协商。
The council expects to submit a final report on the process early next month. Meanwhile, Democratic Virginia Congressman Don Beyer says excavation work on the site where the arch will stand has already begun.
该委员会预计将在下月初提交有关该过程的最终报告。 与此同时，弗吉尼亚州民主党众议员唐·拜尔表示，拱门所在地的挖掘工作已经开始。
Beyer, who is leading congressional opposition to the arch, said he found workers operating heavy equipment when he visited the site on Thursday who told him they were "conducting archaeological work to evaluate the composition of the soil".
领导国会反对拱门的拜尔表示，他周四访问该地点时发现工人正在操作重型设备，他们告诉他他们正在“进行考古工作以评估土壤的成分”。
That is "deeply troubling", Beyer said, particularly because the administration is required to give 48 hours notice before work can begin.
拜尔表示，这“令人深感不安”，特别是因为政府必须在开工前 48 小时发出通知。
"The Administration appears to be pushing ahead with activity at the site even while it still has not done the basic work necessary to understand the consequences of this project," Beyer wrote.
拜尔写道：“政府似乎正在推进该地点的活动，尽管它仍未完成了解该项目后果所需的基础工作。”
A rendering of the design from earlier this year includes a golden, winged Lady Liberty on the top of the arch, flanked by two gold eagles, and with the phrases "One Nation Under God" and "Liberty and Justice for All" inscribed in gold on either side of the structure.
今年早些时候的设计效果图包括拱门顶部有一座带翅膀的金色自由女神像，两侧是两只金色老鹰，结构两侧刻有“上帝统治下的一个国家”和“所有人的自由与正义”的金色字样。
