（NEXSTAR）——美国仍有可能实行全年夏令时，因为一项旨在实现这一目标的法案正等待参议院通过。根据《阳光保护法案》，未豁免的州将全年实行夏令时。由于夏威夷州和亚利桑那州大部分地区已实行全年标准时间，它们将继续保持豁免。对我们其他人来说，这意味着时钟将不再在11月拨回。相反，我们的时钟将保持在现在的位置。尽管这一调整听起来微不足道，但它会让冬天的白天感觉与现在截然不同。春夏两季的感觉将与现在完全一样，因为我们已经从3月初到11月初实行夏令时。对于美国大部分地区而言，在冬季至少有一段时间，太阳要等到上午8点或9点后才会升起。权衡之处在于，冬季日落时间会推迟。那么这将如何影响你？归根结底，取决于你居住的地方。假设你住在爱荷华州锡达拉皮兹市。在11月初时钟拨回标准时间到3月初夏令时再次开始这段时间里，你将看到70多次日落发生在下午4点钟。最早的日落将发生在下午4:35。现在假设我们全年实行夏令时，你在锡达拉皮兹的时钟永不拨回。所有原本在下午5点前的日落现在都将发生在下午5点后。太阳最早落下的时间将是下午5:35。主要是美国北部地区的人群将从日落时间推迟中获益最大。一些最早的冬季日落发生在威斯康星州格林贝、佛蒙特州伯灵顿和罗德岛州普罗维登斯，时间大约在下午4:15。在永久夏令时下，这些地方的日落将推迟到下午5点后。下方的交互式表格显示了全美60多个城市在永久夏令时下的冬季日落时间，以及最早可能的冬季日落时间。
(NEXSTAR) – There remains a chance that the U.S. could observe year-round daylight saving time, as a bill to do just that awaits passage in the Senate. Under the Sunshine Protection Act, states that do not exempt themselves would observe daylight saving time year-round. Since Hawaii and most of Arizona already observe year-round standard time, they would remain exempt. For the rest of us, that would mean our clocks would not fall back in November. Instead, our clocks would remain exactly where they are now. As small as that adjustment may sound, it would make winter days feel much different than they do now. Spring and summer would feel exactly as they do now, since we already observe daylight saving time from early March through early November. For much of the U.S., the sun wouldn't rise until after 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. for at least part of the winter. The trade-off, though, would be later winter sunsets. So how would you be impacted? Ultimately, it depends on where you live. Let's say you live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Between early November, when our clocks fall back to standard time, and early March, when daylight saving time starts again, you would see more than 70 sunsets in the 4 o'clock hour. The earliest would happen at 4:35 p.m. Now let's say we observe daylight saving time year-round, and your clocks in Cedar Rapids never falls back. All of those sunsets before 5 p.m. would now happen after 5 p.m. The earliest the sun would ever set is 5:35 p.m. It's primarily those in the northern portion of the U.S. that would benefit the most from sunsets shifting back. Some of the earliest winter sunsets happen around 4:15 p.m. in Green Bay, Wisconsin; Burlington, Vermont; and Providence, Rhode Island. Under permanent daylight saving time, those sunsets would happen after 5 p.m. The interactive table below shows when winter sunsets would happen under permanent daylight saving time across more than 60 U.S. cities, as well as the earliest possible winter sunset times. That extra hour of sunlight in the afternoon hours may be a nice reprieve for communities that spend so many evening commutes shrouded in darkness. However, that "extra" hour of sunlight has to come from somewhere. The shift to permanent daylight saving time would mean that winter sunrises would largely happen after 8 a.m. – and in some areas, after 9 a.m. While Cedar Rapids wouldn't see any sunrises after 9 a.m. in winter, more than 90 would occur later than 8 a.m. To the north, in Bismarck, North Dakota, roughly 75 sunrises from November and into March would happen after 9 a.m. The latest of which would happen at almost 9:30 a.m. The below table shows when winter sunrises would happen across more than 60 U.S. cities under permanent daylight saving time, as well as the time at which the latest possible sunrise would occur: It's the later sunrises in winter that didn't sit well with some when the U.S. last observed permanent daylight saving time. After parents began sending their children off to school in the dark, sometimes armed with flashlights, permanent daylight saving time quickly lost favor among the public. The U.S. soon returned to seasonal time changes, with four months of standard time annually. While permanent daylight saving time has received support from lawmakers in several states, the golf industry, and the Oval Office, not everyone agrees with it. Many health experts agree that if we’re going to stop changing the clocks, it should be on permanent standard time. Year-round daylight saving time could impact how thousands practice their religion and may have "considerable implications" on your future flights, at least temporarily. It's difficult to say when, if ever, the Senate will pick up the Sunshine Protection Act. Efforts by the Senate to fast-track its version were thwarted. Without any quick action, our clocks will "fall back" on the earliest possible date this year, Nov. 1.
下午多出的一个小时阳光，对于那些在漫漫长夜中度过晚高峰通勤的社区来说，或许是个不错的喘息。然而，这“额外”的一个小时阳光必须有个来源。实行永久夏令时将意味着冬季日出时间大多推迟至上午8点之后——某些地区甚至推迟至9点之后。虽然锡达拉皮兹冬季不会出现上午9点后日出的情况，但会有90多天日出时间晚于上午8点。在更北边的北达科他州俾斯麦，从11月到次年3月大约有75次日出发生在上午9点之后，最晚的甚至接近上午9点半。下表显示了在美国60多个城市实行永久夏令时下冬季日出的时间，以及最晚可能的日出时间：冬季日出推迟是上次美国实行永久夏令时时引发不满的原因。当家长们不得不让孩子在漆黑中上学，有时还得带着手电筒时，永久夏令时迅速失去了民心。美国很快恢复了季节性调时，每年实行四个月的标准时间。虽然永久夏令时获得了多州议员、高尔夫产业和椭圆形办公室的支持，但并非所有人都赞同。许多健康专家一致认为，如果我们要停止调整时钟，应该采用永久标准时间。全年实行夏令时可能会影响数千人的宗教实践，并可能对您未来的航班产生“重大影响”，至少在暂时是这样。很难说参议院何时会（甚至是否会）审议《阳光保护法案》。参议院试图加快推进其版本的努力受挫。如果没有任何快速行动，我们的时钟将在今年最早可能的日期——11月1日——“拨后一小时”。
