美国众议院长佩洛西宣称,众议院讲开始对美国总统特朗普进行正式的弹劾调查。
Dean of the United States House of Representatives, Ms. Nancy Pelosi has announced that the House of Representatives will start launching a formal impeachment inquiry on President Mr. Donald Trump.
弹劾的背景如下:美国媒体报道,特朗普总统曾多次向乌克兰总统泽连斯基施压,要求该国调查2020年民主党总统候选人,同时也是特朗普总统最大的竞争对手之一、前任副总统乔·拜登的儿子亨特·拜登。目的自然是为了在2020年的总统大选中取得舆论上的先机。
Here is the background story: According to press, President Trump has been pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Hunter Biden, son of Joe Biden, who is a formal vice-president and a democratic candidate for 2020 Presidential election and the top competitor to President Trump. If this is true, the purpose of President Trump might be using the result of the possible 'investigation' as a leverage to gain public favour over Mr. Biden in the 2020 election.
当然,特朗普总统否认了上述指控,并称民主党这一举动是“政治迫害”。
Of course, President Trump denied above accusations and called this action of the Democrats a ‘witch hunt’.
无论弹劾调查结果如何,都将会对民主党或共和党的其中一方或双方在总统大选中有影响。
No matter what is the result of the impeachment inquiry, no doubt either one or both Democrats and Republicans will be affected in the Presidential Election.
