A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Kennedy Center to give 30 days' notice before any major physical alterations to the buildingincluding the demolition that President Donald Trump has threatened.

一名聯邦法官於週四諭令甘迺迪中心,在對該建築進行任何重大物理變更之前——包括如總統唐納·川普所威脅之拆除該建築——須提前30天通知。

US District Judge Christopher Cooper stated that his ruling was intended "to avert any confusion arising in this regard, in light of recent developmentsincluding the abrupt closure of the building to the public on Wednesday."

美國地區法官克里斯多福·庫珀表示,其裁決旨在「鑒於近期事態——包括週三該建築物突遭對公眾關閉——避免就此滋生任何混淆」。

Matt Floca, the Kennedy Center's executive director and chief operating officer, stated that, given the "ongoing structural deterioration" of the aging building, which "poses a serious risk to public safety," he had temporarily closed the iconic performing arts center.

甘迺迪中心執行總監營運長麥特·弗洛卡表示鑑於這座老舊建築持續的結構惡化對公共安全構成嚴重風險」,他已暫時關閉這座標誌性的表演藝術中心

Floca indicated that the building would remain closed for at least seven days in order to "assess the existing safety risks in those sections of the main building that have suffered severe structural deterioration."

弗洛卡指出該建築將關閉至少七天評估主建築中那些出現嚴重結構惡化部分現有的安全風險」。

Floca and other officials have stated that this unannounced temporary closure is a separate matter from the Kennedy Center board's decision on Tuesday to vote in favor of closing the performing arts center indefinitely for repairs.

弗洛卡與其他官員均表示此番未經預告之臨時閉館與甘迺迪中心董事會於週二表決無限期關閉該表演藝術中心以進行維修之決議係屬二事

Floca indicated that this closure was prompted by an inspection of the roof terrace canopy, as well as an incident earlier this month in which part of the ceiling collapsed.

弗洛卡指出此次閉館乃基於對屋頂露台頂篷之檢查以及本月稍早部分天花板坍塌之情事

He added that the closure measures may be extended following an assessment next week.

他並補充閉館措施或將於下週評估後予以延長

Trump, who was appointed chairman of the Kennedy Center last year by loyalists on its board, said on Wednesday that his efforts to restore the aging building deserved credit, "because frankly, if we didn't do what we're doing, it would be closed.

川普於去年獲董事會中忠誠擁戴者任命為甘迺迪中心主席其於週三表示他修復這座老舊建築的努力理應獲得認可,「因為坦白說倘若我們不如此行事它便會關閉

It would ultimately be torn down.

終將遭到拆除

Its condition is extremely, extremely bad, extremely dangerous."

其狀況極其、極其糟糕極其危險。」

The announcement of the closure came in response to a lawsuit filed by a Democratic congresswoman who also serves as a trustee and who sought an emergency court hearing to halt what she alleged was the building's "illegal closure."

該項關閉之宣告,係針對一名民主黨籍女性議員所提起之訴訟所作之回應;該議員身兼受託人一職,並尋求緊急法庭聽證,以制止其所指稱之該建築物「非法關閉」。

Joyce Beatty, a Democratic U.S. Representative from Ohio who serves as an ex officio member of the Kennedy Center's board of trustees, spearheaded efforts to block the move to attach Trump's name to the building.

俄亥俄州民主黨籍聯邦眾議員喬伊斯·比提身為甘迺迪中心董事會之當然成員主導了阻撓將川普之名冠於該建築之舉措

During a virtual board meeting on Tuesday, Beatty became embroiled in a war of words with the Republican president.

比提於週二虛擬董事會會議期間與這位共和黨籍總統爆發了言辭交鋒

In documents submitted to the court on Thursday, Beatty's lawyers stated that the board members' "purported measure of merely temporarily closing the Kennedy Center is in reality nothing but a transparent pretext calculated to lend legitimacy to its permanent closure.

比提的律師於週四呈交法庭的文件中闡明董事會成員聲稱彼等僅係暫時關閉甘迺迪中心之舉措實則無非為永久關閉該中心賦予正當性之顯而易見的託辭

The facts laid out before the court are profoundly troubling."

臚列於法庭面前之事實令人深感憂慮。」

Cooper denied the request made by Beatty's legal team for a hearing to clarify the board's actions and intentions; however, he granted them another request, "stating unequivocally" that his order prohibited the demolition of the building without 30 days' notice.

庫珀駁回了比提法律團隊所提、要求舉行聽證會以釐清董事會行動與意圖之請求;惟其應允了彼等另一項請求,「明確表示」其命令禁止在未經30天通知的情況下拆除該建築。

The board, chaired by the president himself and allied with Trump, voted to shut down the center after Cooper thwarted the institution's effort to have Trump's name re-engraved on the building.

由總統親任主席、與川普結盟的董事會,在庫珀阻撓該機構將川普之名重新鐫刻於建築之上後,表決通過關閉該中心。

Congress had already appropriated $257 million to cover the cost of repairs; however, Trump stated that such repairs would be carried out only on the condition that the board be permitted to proceed with its plan to affix his name to the building.

國會業已撥款2.57億美元以支應維修費用,惟川普表示,唯有在董事會獲准推進將其姓名冠於該建築之計劃的前提下,此等維修方得付諸實施。

On Thursday, Barbra Streisand, a 2008 Kennedy Center Honoree, questioned the decision to close the center for repairs, describing the controversy surrounding its operations as "infuriating and painful to witness."

週四,2008年甘迺迪中心榮譽獎得主芭芭拉·史翠珊對關閉該中心以進行維修之舉提出質疑,並稱圍繞其運作所生之爭議「令人憤慨且痛苦地目睹」。

Regarding Trump's intention to attach his own name to the center, she declared in a statement to reporters: "You can well imagine how indignant we are to witness an institution of such long-standing public esteem reduced to the focal point of such bitter discord, provoked by one man's name and his unrestrainedly inflated ego."

關於川普意圖將自身名諱冠於該中心之舉,她於致記者之聲明中慨言:「諸位不難想見,目睹此一素孚眾望之機構竟淪為一人之名號與恣肆膨脹之自我所引發如此激烈齟齬之焦點,吾人何等憤慨。」

In August, the Kennedy Center's board of trustees resolved to have Trump's name inscribed upon the Kennedy Center's facade, with the inscription reading, "The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, restored and renovated by President Donald J. Trump."

甘迺迪中心董事會於八月議決將川普之名鐫刻於甘迺迪中心立面之上其文曰約翰·F·甘迺迪表演藝術中心由唐納·J·川普總統修復和翻新」。

Should the Trump Kennedy Center Fund succeed in raising $100 million, a further inscription would be added, reading, "Donated by the Trump Kennedy Center Fund."

川普甘迺迪中心基金募得1億美元則另添銘文一處其文曰由川普甘迺迪中心基金捐贈」。

The plaza situated in front of the Kennedy Center is likewise to be renamed in Trump's honor.

座落於甘迺迪中心前方之廣場,亦將以川普之名重新命名。

On Tuesday, Cooper rejected all of the aforementioned proposals and ruled that no such action may be taken without congressional approval.

庫珀於週二悉數否決了上述提案,並裁定:凡未獲國會批准者,一概不得為之。

In May, Cooper ruled that the Kennedy Center's addition of Trump's name to the building was unlawful, and consequently ordered its removal.

庫珀於五月裁定甘迺迪中心將川普之名添附於建築之舉係屬非法命其移除

The institution's leadership complied with this order in June; however, in the place where Trump's name had once been displayed, tarpaulins and scaffolding were left behind.

該機構之領導人於六月遵從此令於川普之名曾展示之處,遺留防水布腳手架

Streisand told the Associated Press that she was deeply honored to be numbered among the recipients of the 31st Kennedy Center Honors, adding: "For me and for many artists, what this honor signifies extends far beyond professional recognition.

史翠珊向美聯社表示對於得以躋身第31屆甘迺迪中心榮譽獎得主之列她深感殊榮並補充道:「對我和眾多藝術家而言該項榮譽所承載的意涵,遠逾職業層面的認可

It embodies a belief in the importance of art to democratic life."

它體現了對藝術於民主生活中所具重要性的一份信念。」
