迈克·卡塔利尼 今年的肯尼迪中心荣誉奖将在华盛顿的第一资本球馆举行,而不是位于河滨的那座建筑,后者因在建筑上加上唐纳德·特朗普总统名字而成为法律争议的焦点。
MIKE CATALINI This year’s Kennedy Center Honors will be held at Washington’s Capital One Arena, not the riverfront building that’s been at the center of a legal fight over adding President Donald Trump’s name to the building.
肯尼迪中心发言人周五表示,第49届年度颁奖典礼将在华盛顿市中心的球馆举行。目前暂无其他细节,且未给出更换场地的解释。
The 49th annual awards are set to take place at Washington’s downtown arena, a Kennedy Center spokesperson said Friday. Few other details were immediately available, and an explanation for the change wasn’t given.
在联邦法官禁止该机构将特朗普的名字恢复到建筑上后,中心董事会上个月投票决定关闭位于波托马克河滨的标志性表演艺术场馆。特朗普在社交媒体帖子中表示,该中心需要关闭进行安全维修。
The center’s board voted last month to close the iconic performing arts venue along the Potomac River waterfront after a federal judge blocked the institution from returning Trump’s name to the building. Trump has said in social media posts that the center needed to close for safety repairs .
但他称,只有董事会被允许推进在建筑上加上他名字的计划,维修才会进行。
But he said the repairs would only happen if the board was allowed to move forward with plans to add his name to the building.
一位联邦法官已两次裁定,未经国会批准不能这样做,国会已拨款2.57亿美元用于维修。
A federal judge has twice said that can’t happen without the approval of Congress, which has allocated $257 million for repairs.
总统主持了2025年的颁奖典礼,获奖者包括西尔维斯特·史泰龙和乔治·斯特雷特。
The president hosted the 2025 awards , whose honorees included Sylvester Stallone and George Strait.
当时他说将把该设施更名为“特朗普肯尼迪中心”,不久后工人便开始在建筑上加上他的名字。
He said at the time that he would rename the facility the “Trump Kennedy Center,” and not long after workers began adding his name to the building.
由特朗普任命的受托人董事会一致投票赞成该更名,此后该决定一直面临法庭挑战。
The board of trustees, named by Trump, voted unanimously for the change , which has been challenged in court since.
国会于1964年将该表演艺术中心命名为约翰·F·肯尼迪的活着的纪念碑,即他在遇刺身亡的次年。
Congress named the performing arts center as a living memorial to John F. Kennedy in 1964, the year after he was assassinated.
法律明确禁止受托人董事会将该中心变成纪念其他任何人的场所,以及在建筑外立面加上其他人名字。
The law explicitly prohibits the board of trustees from making the center into a memorial to anyone else, and from putting another person’s name on the building’s exterior.
肯尼迪中心荣誉奖旨在表彰通过表演艺术为美国文化做出终身贡献的人士,成立于1978年。中心发言人表示,2026年的获奖者将在稍后公布。活动将于12月7日举行。
The Kennedy Center Honors, which recognize people for lifetime contributions to American culture through the performing arts, was established in 1978. The 2026 honorees are set to be named at a later day, the center’s spokesperson said. The event will take place on December 7.
