【时事热点】还记得美国的那堵墙吗? Do you still remember that Wall in America? (2)

(接上回)美墨边境墙已经于3月26日得到了它的第一笔、来自军用资金的建造费——10亿美元,可以建造长度大约为91千米的边境墙。

$1 billion has already been transferred for the Border Wall construction on 26th Mar, which is the first part of the Wall construction fee coming from military funding. $1 billion can be used to build about 91 kilometre of the wall.

特朗普在宣布国家紧急状态的那天同时表明政府将一共投入80亿美元用于边境墙的建设,并签署了行政令。我们可以假设剩余的70亿美元也会陆陆续续地投入边境墙的建设。

When President Trump declared the National Emergency State, he also said that a total of $8 billion will be used for building the Wall and signed a President’s Order. We can assume the remaining $7 billion will be transferred in due time.

虽说是“墙”,但它会更类似于一个约5米高的围栏。除此之外,这些资金还会被用于道路改善和照明设施的安装。想跨越边境就没那么容易啦。

Although it is being called a ‘wall’, it is technically going to be a fence that is about 5 metres tall. Other than that, the funding will also be used to improve road construction and install lighting equipment. Crossing the border will not be so easy.
