President Obama has asked his Vice President Joe Biden to come up with concrete proposals for curbing gun violence by next month, following the mass shooting at a school in Connecticut. Mr. Obama said he would use all the powers of his office to tackle the problem, but would also need the support of the American people. From Washington, Paul Adams.
就在康涅狄格州学校发生大规模枪击案后,总统奥巴马要求副总统乔·拜登在下月之前提出控制枪支暴力的具体方案。奥巴马说他将尽一切努力解决这个问题,但这需要美国人民的支持。Paul Adams在华盛顿报道。
Barack Obama seems to be a man in a hurry. He has asked Joe Biden to report back in a matter of weeks on gun control. The president indicated that proposals might include banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, as well as a more wide-reaching system of background checks. But he also emphasized other aspects of a complex problem, saying that access to mental healthcare should be at least as easy as access to a gun, and that the country is a whole needed to look at a culture, which he said, all too often glorified violence.
巴拉克·奥巴马似乎是个做事匆忙的人,他要求乔·拜登在数周之内就强制控制提交报告。总统称方案可能包括禁止攻击性武器、高容量弹匣,以及更广泛的背景调查系统。但他同时强调了一个复杂问题的多面性,他说至少应像枪支一样使心理健康帮助得到普及,他说整个美国需要审视这个过于宣扬暴力的文化。
