众议院共和党领导层正在加大对参议院同僚的压力，敦促其通过一项将夏令时永久化的法案，此前总统唐纳德·特朗普已呼吁国会采取行动。
House GOP leadership is ratcheting up pressure on its Senate counterparts to pass legislation making daylight saving time permanent after President Donald Trump called on Congress to act.
众议院第二号领导人、共和党路易斯安那州籍多数党领袖史蒂夫·斯卡利斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“美国人在一天结束时本不该失去一小时阳光，因为更多的白昼意味着能陪伴家人的时间更长，企业能有更多活动空间，社区也会更安全。”他说道：“特朗普总统一直在推动将夏令时永久化，众议院共和党人通过压倒性多数通过了《阳光保护法案》，实现了这一目标。这是一项合乎常理的改变，参议院应该着手处理。”
The House's No. 2 leader, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., told Fox News Digital that "there's no reason Americans should lose an hour of sunlight at the end of the day when more daylight means more time with our families, more activity for our businesses, and safer communities." "President Trump has been pushing to make daylight saving time permanent, and House Republicans delivered by overwhelmingly passing the Sunshine Protection Act. It's a commonsense change and the Senate should take it up," Scalise said.
众议院通过夏令时改革法案，特朗普则暗示支持结束时钟调整。围绕每年两次调整时钟的争论，几十年来一直在华盛顿激烈上演。
HOUSE PASSES DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME REFORM AS TRUMP SIGNALS SUPPORT FOR ENDING CLOCK CHANGE The debate over the twice-annual changing of clocks has raged for decades in Washington.
前总统理查德·尼克松的政府曾带领全国进行为期16个月的夏令时全年试行，但公众日益增长的挫败感迫使这项试验提前六个月结束。
Former President Richard Nixon's administration led the country through a temporary 16-month trial of year-round daylight saving, but mounting public frustration forced the experiment to end six months early.
然而，公众对这一改变的意愿似乎已经回归。今年7月，众议院以308票对117票的跨党派结果通过了《阳光保护法案》，而特朗普周五在“真相社交”上发文称：“这种每年两次进行的荒谬时钟调整过程，让我们的国家耗费巨大，对犯罪、民众压力、体育以及你能想象到的几乎所有其他方面都有负面影响。”
But the appetite for such a change appears to have returned. The House passed the Sunshine Protection Act in a bipartisan 308 to 117 vote in July, and Trump posted on Truth Social Friday, "A ridiculous Clock changing process that takes place twice a year, costs our Country a fortune, is bad for Crime, stress on people, Sports, and just about everything else you can imagine."
但该法案在参议院陷入停滞。南达科他州籍共和党参议员、参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩告诉《政治报》，目前“没有明确的推进路径”。在众议院以压倒性多数投票通过后，特朗普敦促参议院通过将夏令时永久化的法案。此事再次在特朗普与参议院共和党多数派之间制造了分歧，而本任期内，他已在多个问题上与后者发生冲突。
But the legislation is stalled in the Senate, where Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told Politico there was "no clear path forward." TRUMP URGES SENATE TO PASS BILL MAKING DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME PERMANENT AFTER OVERWHELMING HOUSE VOTE It's created yet another rift between Trump and the Senate GOP majority, which he has clashed with on multiple fronts so far this term.
周末，特朗普的挫败感彻底爆发，他将矛头指向了参议员汤姆·科顿——这位来自阿肯色州的共和党参议员是该法案最突出的批评者之一。
Trump's frustration boiled over on the weekend when he targeted Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., one of the bill's most prominent critics.
围绕夏令时的激烈争论爆发：停止调整时钟的提议在参议院遭遇阻力“几乎所有人都希望《阳光保护法案》能够通过，除了汤姆·科顿，”特朗普周六表示，并公布了这位参议员的手机号码。“致阿肯色州的伟大人民，请告诉你们的参议员，这将是美国参议院乃至整个美国一项伟大的两党共赢之举。”科顿回应称，国会此前曾处理过夏令时问题，但每次在实施后不久又将其废除。
BATTLE OVER DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME ERUPTS AS PUSH TO STOP CHANGING CLOCKS HITS SENATE WALL "Almost everybody wants ‘The Sunshine Protection Act’ to pass, except for Tom Cotton," Trump said Saturday, sharing the senator's cell phone number. "To the Great People of Arkansas, please let your Senator know it would be a GREAT Bipartisan WIN for the United States Senate, and for America, itself." Cotton responded, noting that Congress has tackled daylight saving time before, only to roll back the change shortly after.
睡眠专家揭示夏令时带来的残酷健康影响“没有人喜欢调整时钟，包括我本人，但国会此前曾多次推行永久夏令时，而每次美国人在冬季经历极晚的日出后，又都会将其废除，”科顿在X平台上写道。“阿肯色州的人们不希望自己的孩子天黑上学，我会始终将阿肯色州放在首位。”这是一个独特的问题，它使两党议员产生了分歧。
SLEEP DOCTOR REVEALS THE BRUTAL HEALTH DOWNSIDE OF DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME "No one likes changing the clock, me included, but Congress has enacted permanent Daylight Saving Time multiple times before and repealed it each time once Americans experienced absurdly late sunrises in the winter," Cotton said on X. "Arkansans don’t want their kids going to school in the pitch dark, and I’ll always put Arkansas first." It's a unique issue that has divided lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
还有一些人同意科顿的观点，认为让孩子在黑暗中上学是推行这一改革的绝对禁忌。但也有支持者认为，特朗普施加的额外压力可能会让这项立法重新浮出水面。
There are others who agree with Cotton, who argue that sending kids to school in their states in the dark is a no-go for making the change. But there are also those who support the option and believe that Trump's added pressure could see the legislation resurface.
然而，这一议题还必须面对本就排得满满的“跛脚鸭”会议议程，而该议程将很大程度上取决于11月3日选举的结果。
But that will have to contend with an already stacked lame-duck schedule that will be heavily dictated by the outcome of the Nov. 3 election.
“显然，汤姆对此有非常强烈的立场，他已在公开场合和党内会议中明确表达过，因此我不认为这一点会改变，”阿拉巴马州共和党参议员凯蒂·布里特表示。“众所周知，阿拉巴马州的大多数民众都支持这一方案。”她继续说道：“因此，我们将寻找对话的渠道……但考虑到总统对此事的高度重视，我预计我们回归后肯定会展开相关讨论和辩论。”
"Look, obviously, Tom has very strong feelings, he's made those known both publicly and within the conference, so I don't expect that to change," Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., said. "You know, it's something, obviously, the people of Alabama, for the most part, have said that they're for." "And so, we'll look for a pathway to have dialogue about it ... but I would anticipate, given the president's energy around it, that we'll have that dialogue and debate when we get back," she continued.
