据多家媒体报道,特朗普总统希望在他的西棕榈滩高尔夫俱乐部增设一个类似坎普戴维的总统度假地。

President Trump wants to add a Camp David-type presidential retreat at his West Palm Beach golf club, according to several reports.

据《棕榈滩邮报》报道,该高尔夫球场的律师哈维·奥耶致信棕榈滩县委员称,特朗普提议“指定”其高尔夫球场为美国总统高尔夫球场,并“供历任、现任及未来的美国总统以及来访的外国国家元首使用”。

A letter sent to Palm Beach County commissioners by the golf course’s attorney Harvey Oyer said Trump is offering to “designate” his golf course as a U.S. Presidential Golf Course and be “utilized by all past, current, and future United States Presidents and visiting foreign heads of state,” according to The Palm Beach Post.

致信委员的信件中表示,特朗普国际高尔夫球场将承担总统住宿设施的建设费用。

The letter to the commissioners said that Trump International Golf Course would pay for the construction of the presidential lodging facility.

信中写道:“这是总统希望与他的继任者、美国人民以及棕榈滩县的居民共同分享的一份礼物。需要指出的是,特朗普总统在该项目完工之前就会离任,因此这是一份赠予他继任者的礼物。”

“This is a gift that the President would like to share with his successors, the people of America, and his fellow Palm Beach County residents. It should be noted that President Trump will be out of office before this proposed project could be completed so this is a gift to his successors,” the letter said.

奥耶告诉《华盛顿邮报》,目前尚未为这座总统高尔夫球场选定名称。

Oyer told The Washington Post that a name has not been selected for the presidential golf course yet.

奥耶对《邮报》表示:“这将进一步巩固棕榈滩县作为全球最具知名度的品牌之一和热门旅游目的地的地位。”

“It would further cement Palm Beach County as one of the most recognizable brands and destinations in the world,” Oyer told The Post.

棕榈滩县行政官约瑟夫·阿布鲁佐告诉该媒体,该县正在认真考虑这一提议。

Palm Beach County Administrator Joseph Abruzzo told the outlet that the county is seriously considering the proposal.

这并非棕榈滩首次被考虑作为总统的驻留地。美国女商人玛乔丽·梅里韦瑟·波斯特拥有马阿拉戈庄园并为其命名,她曾希望这座庄园能成为总统们冬季前往的地点。

This isn’t the first time that Palm Beach is being considered for a spot for presidents. American businesswoman Marjorie Meriweather Post, who owned Mar-a-Lago and gave it its name, wanted the estate to be used a place for presidents to go in the winter.

她于1973年去世时将该房产赠予联邦政府,但国家公园管理局认为维护成本过高,于是将其归还给她的家族。特朗普于1985年购买了该房产,并保留了其原有名称。特朗普的高尔夫球场距离马阿拉戈庄园不到五英里。

She gifted the property to the federal government upon her death in 1973, but the National Park Service found the upkeep to be too expensive and returned it back to her estate. Trump bought the property in 1985 and kept its name. Trump’s golf course is less than five miles from Mar-a-Lago.

一位了解该计划的白宫官员告诉《邮报》,这座高尔夫球场将提供“世界一流的房产”设施。

A White House official with knowledge of the plan told The Post that the golf course would provide “world class property” amenities.

“该房产距离唐纳德·J·特朗普国际机场仅几分钟路程,周围没有高耸的建筑,球场沿线也没有住宅,安保措施完善,靠近执法机构,而且恰好还是一座评价极高的高尔夫球场。这些特征对于任何总统度假地来说都是必不可少的,”这位官员表示。

“The property is minutes away from the Donald J. Trump International Airport, does not have buildings looming, does not have houses along the course, has great security features, is close to law enforcement, and happens to be a highly-rated golf course. These are features that are necessary for any presidential retreat,” the official said.
