The special U.S. House committee investigating the January 6, 2020 attack on the U.S. Capitol heard testimony¹ Monday about former U.S. President Donald Trump²'s false claims of voter fraud which he blamed for his loss to Joe Biden in the November, 2020 presidential election.

调查2020年1月6日美国国会大厦袭击事件的美国众议院特别委员会周一听取了关于美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普关于选民舞弊的虚假声明。特朗普将自己在2020年11月的总统大选中败给乔·拜登归咎于此。

The panel says the former president's falsehoods about the election provoked a mob of his supporters to attack the Capitol.

该委员会表示，前总统关于选举的谎言激起了一群他的支持者攻击国会大厦。

As the hearings on the Capitol riot played out for the public, a key U.S. viewer sits inside the Justice Department.

国会大厦骚乱听证会向公众开放，一位关键的美国观众就在司法部。

"I am watching ...."

“我在看着……”

Lawmakers have indicated perhaps the most important audience member is Attorney General Merrick Garland, who would decide whether the department can and should prosecute³ Donald Trump.

议员们表示，最重要的听众成员可能是司法部长梅里克·加兰德，他将决定司法部是否可以并且应该起诉唐纳德·特朗普。

"... The January 6 prosecutors⁴ are watching all of the hearings, as well."

“1月6日的检察官们也在关注所有的听证会。”

While committee members say they have enough evidence for the Justice Department to consider an unprecedented⁵ indictment⁶ against the former president, Garland's giving no details about the probe except to say whomever he needs to be held accountable will be.

虽然委员会成员表示，他们有足够的证据让司法部考虑对这位前总统提出史无前例的起诉，但加兰德没有透露调查的细节，只是说他需要被追究责任的人将是谁。

"... Regardless of their level, their position and regardless of whether they were present at the events on January 6."

“不管他们的级别、职位如何，也无论他们是否出席了1月6日的活动。”

"After the summer, we'll have a better assessment¹⁰ on the strength of the consumer and exactly how some of the, the whether or not we are seeing the peak of inflation and that will be when we'll be able to have a better assessment on when that can happen, but right now you're seeing markets dramatically shift their expectations on when and how long this next recession will be."

“今年夏天过后，我们将对消费者的实力有更好的评估，以及通胀是否见顶，届时我们将能够对通胀何时发生更好的评估，但现在你看到市场对下一次衰退的时间和持续时间的预期发生了戏剧性的变化。”
