[ti:Trump, Congress to End US Government Shutdown] [by:www.51voa.com] [00:00.00]更多听力请访问51VOA.COM [00:00.04]U.S. President Donald Trump said [00:03.28]that he has reached a deal with Congressional leaders [00:06.88]to reopen the government for three weeks. [00:11.28]The deal to end the 35-day partial government shutdown [00:16.40]does not include Trump's demand of $5.7 billion [00:22.00]to build a wall at the country's southern border with Mexico. [00:27.36]But in his speech Friday, Trump said if talks on border security fail [00:35.04]to produce a "powerful wall or steel barrier," [00:39.12]he would shut down the government again on February 15 [00:43.76]or declare a national emergency to build one. [00:49.24]House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats [00:53.60]have repeatedly called for Trump to reopen the government [00:57.72]before lawmakers negotiate the issue of border security. [01:04.00]The announcement came as the effects [01:06.54]of the longest shutdown in American history [01:09.88]were spreading across the nation. [01:13.72]In New York, airplanes were being delayed at least 90 minutes. [01:19.60]The government reported that the delay was caused [01:24.00]by a small "increase in sick leave" from air traffic controllers [01:29.12]in centers in Florida and Washington, D.C. [01:34.04]The workers are among the 800,000 federal employees [01:39.07]who have not been getting paid during the shutdown. [01:43.08]Officials added that many airport security screeners [01:47.52]were not reporting to work because of financial stresses. [01:53.08]At the Internal Revenue Service, [01:55.60]less than half of the recalled workers reported to work. [02:00.96]The Trump administration had called back workers [02:04.28]to deal with the increase in tax filing activities. [02:09.84]In a video message, the director of the Federal [02:13.23]Bureau of Investigation, Christopher Wray, [02:16.24]said he was "about as angry as I've been in a long, long time." [02:22.80]Wray called the shutdown "short-sighted" and "unfair." [02:28.57]He added that all FBI workers [02:32.64]were feeling financial stresses from the shutdown. [02:37.04]更多听力请访问51VOA.COM
