31天后，我们的民主面临着严峻的考验……随着中期选举的临近，选民需要基于事实的报告来决定我们国家的未来。面对支持率下降，唐纳德·特朗普正在加速攻击记者第一修正案的权利。在您关闭此选项卡之前，我们能否要求您在美国新闻业的关键时刻支持《卫报》？
In 31 days, our democracy faces a critical test…With the midterm elections approaching, voters need fact-based reporting to decide the future of our country. Facing declining popularity, Donald Trump is accelerating his attacks on journalists’ First Amendment rights. Before you close this tab, can we ask you to support the Guardian at this critical time for journalism in the US?
对新闻自由的攻击使得报道伊朗战争、移民执法以及人工智能对人类潜在的生存威胁等重要选举问题变得更加困难。
The assault on the free press makes it more difficult to report on top election issues like the war in Iran, immigration enforcement, and AI’s potentially existential threat to humanity.
最近，特朗普禁止CNN、MS Now和Politico进入白宫，以报复“负面”报道。尽管一名联邦法官目前已恢复白宫准入，称该禁令可能违宪，但特朗普仍在阻止CNN进入空军一号。
Most recently, Trump banned CNN, MS Now and Politico from the White House, in retaliation for “negative” coverage. While a federal judge has restored White House access for now, saying the ban is likely unconstitutional, Trump is still blocking CNN from Air Force One.
与此同时，特朗普正在利用联邦通信委员会--该委员会本应是一个符合公共利益的独立监管机构--来清算政治宿怨：在吉米·金梅尔拿第一夫人开玩笑后，联邦通信委员会将矛头指向了美国广播公司，特朗普建议该机构应该惩罚《会见媒体》的主持人，因为他发表了总统不喜欢的事实声明。
At the same time, Trump is using the FCC – which is supposed to be an independent regulator in the public interest – to settle political scores: The FCC targeted ABC after Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about the First Lady, and Trump suggested that the agency should punish the host of Meet the Press for making a factual statement the president disliked.
与此同时，五角大楼在报道《星条旗报》上自杀未遂事件后不久，以“不服从”为由解雇了《星条旗报》的编辑。据报道，这艘海军航空母舰在海上航行10个月后陷入了困境。
The Pentagon, meanwhile, fired the editor of Stars and Stripes newspaper for “insubordination” shortly after they reported on a suicide attempt aboard the USS Lincoln, the Navy aircraft carrier reported to be in dire straits after 10 months at sea.
更糟糕的是，美国许多最大的新闻机构现在都由亿万富翁拥有，他们的个人和商业利益可能会危及媒体的编辑独立性。媒体批评者观察到现在由特朗普盟友拥有的哥伦比亚广播公司新闻频道如何软化其报道; CNN可能会被同一位亿万富翁接管;杰夫·贝佐斯对《华盛顿邮报》实施了极端的裁员和编辑干预。
Making matters worse, many of the US’s largest news organizations are now owned by billionaires whose personal and business interests may imperil the outlets’ editorial independence. Media critics have observed how CBS News, now owned by a Trump ally, has softened its coverage; CNN could be taken over by the same billionaire; and Jeff Bezos has imposed extreme staff cuts and editorial interventions at the Washington Post.
当自由受到攻击时，少数坚定的新闻机构就有责任确保完整的真相仍然传达给公众。《卫报》既不是亿万富翁，也不是公司所有，它仍然致力于让全世界值得信赖的新闻业免付费。
When freedom is under attack, it falls to a determined few news organizations to ensure the full truth still reaches the public. The Guardian is owned neither by a billionaire nor a corporation and remains dedicated to keeping trustworthy journalism paywall-free for the world.
