美国有线新闻 CNN 1亿剂目标已达成 拜登着眼上任100天完成2亿剂疫苗接种

We're starting with a report on a U.S. presidential milestone¹, a measurement really known as the first 100 days.

今天首则报道有关美国总统的里程碑事件，即对总统任职前100天的评估。

What has a new U.S. leader done and not done in just over three months after inauguration² day?

在就职日后的三个多月里，美国新任领导人做了什么，没有做什么？

April 30th will mark 100 days in office for President Joe Biden.

4月30日是拜登总统上任第100天。

By day seven, the new leader had signed dozens of executive orders, new directives from the executive branch.

就职后第七天，新任总统拜登签署了数十项行政令，即行政部门的新指示。

Many of President Biden's orders aimed to unravel³ the policies of this predecessor⁴ former President Donald Trump⁵

拜登总统的多项行政令旨在瓦解前任唐纳德·总统特朗普的政策，

and many of his orders went against the policies of his predecessor, former President Barack Obama.

后者的许多行政令与其前任巴拉克·奥巴马总统背道而驰。

So you can see how these can swing back and forth⁶. On this 51st day, President Biden signed a new stimulus⁷ package.

因此，大家会看到这些行政令在来回变动。上任第51天，拜登总统签署了一项新的经济刺激计划。

A $1.9 trillion spending bill intended to ease the financial problems related to coronavirus.

这项1.9万亿美元的支出法案旨在缓解与冠状病毒有关的财政问题。

The law had passed in the Democratic controlled Congress on the Democratic president's 50th day

这位民主党总统就职的第50天，该法案在民主党控制的国会获得通过，

but it received no support from Congressional Republicans.

但并未得到国会共和党人的支持。

Another goal the president had was for 100 million Americans to get at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine⁸ by his 100th day.

拜登总统的另一个目标是，让1亿美国人在其上任100天前至少接种一剂冠状病毒疫苗。

Critics said that goal wasn't ambitious.

批评人士认为，这个目标不够远大。

That the nation was on track to do that anyway and it happened on President Biden's 58th day.

无论如何，美国已经在向实现这一目标迈进，并在拜登总统上任第58天实现了这一目标。

But shortly before that, the U.S. leader announced he'd increase his goal to 200 million doses by his 100th day.

但就在那之前不久，这位美国领导人宣布，他将在上任100天内的疫苗接种目标提高到2亿剂。

We don't know yet if that will be reached. But this is just a sampling of this particular president's actions.

我们尚不清楚这个目标是否能达到。但这只是这位总统采取的行动之一。
