查询词典 filibuster

Hillary and Ira Magaziner badly wanted health care in the budget, the congressional leaders were open to it, and Dick Gephardt had urged Hillary to do it, because he was sure the Republican senators would try to filibuster health care if it were proposed by itself.

希拉里和伊拉。马加齐纳迫切希望把医疗保健改革纳入到预算方案中，国会领导人对此也持赞同态度。迪克。格普哈特曾催促希拉里这么做，因为他确信，如果单独提出医疗保健改革法案，共和党参议员们肯定会尝试使用阻挠议事手段。

The filibuster (a creature of Senate rule rather than of the Constitution or a statute) creates a requirement of a supermajority to pass legislation to which there is substantial senatorial opposition, and rules or customs of senatorial "courtesy" give individual Senators considerable blocking power, for example power to delay confirmation hearings.

当一项法律受到很多参议员的反对，阻挠议事的议员（参议院而非宪法或成文法的创造物）提出必须要绝大多数同意才能通过的要求，而且形成了不成文的规定或者说是传统，这实际上给了个体参议员相当大的阻碍的权利，比如说延迟听证会。

This, argue the critics, is what happens when a mere 41 senators (in a 100-strong chamber) can filibuster a bill to death; when states like Wyoming (population: 500,000) have the same clout in the Senate as California (37m), so that senators representing less than 11% of the population can block bills; when, thanks to gerrymandering, many congressional seats are immune from competitive elections; when hateful bloggers and talk-radio hosts shoot down any hint of compromise; when a tide of lobbying cash corrupts everything.

批评家们说，当区区41个参议员（总数100）誓死的阻挠议案通过；，当在参议院中怀俄明州（人口50万）和加州（人口3700万）所拥有的权力相等，这样代表全国不到11%人口的议员同样能阻挠议案通过；当，这要多谢了为政党而重新划分选区，大部分国会席位不会因为选举而改变；当可恶的博客主和广播谈话节目主持人驳倒了任何关于妥协的暗示；当大笔的游说金毁了一切的话，那么这就肯定会发生了。
