联邦法官暂时禁止特朗普政府在华盛顿东波托马克公园进行进一步改动 联邦法官周一叫停特朗普政府在该公园砍伐树木，并禁止其他改动，总统曾寻求彻底改造该公园内的高尔夫球场。
Judge Temporarily Blocks Further Alterations at D.C.’s East Potomac Park A federal judge stopped the Trump administration from cutting trees and prohibited other changes at the park where the president has sought to overhaul a golf course.
联邦法官周一暂时禁止内政部在东波托马克公园实施一系列重大改动，认定政府一直在采取措施启动特朗普总统关于在该地产打造冠军级高尔夫球场的构想，却在法庭上将这些工作伪装成例行维护。
A federal judge temporarily barred the Interior Department on Monday from carrying out a variety of major alterations at East Potomac Park, finding that the government had been taking steps to initiate President Trump’s vision for championship level golf course on the property while passing off the work in court as routine maintenance.
该裁决源于司法部与安娜·C·雷耶斯法官之间的一场非同寻常的对峙，雷耶斯法官在整个10月期间多次传唤特朗普政府官员和政府律师，就她所称的关于该计划的虚假陈述追责。
The ruling followed an extraordinary confrontation between the Justice Department and Judge Ana C. Reyes, who throughout October called several Trump administration officials and government lawyers to account for what she described as misrepresentations about the plan.
这场冲突将聚光灯投向了总统改造首都的一个鲜为人知的计划，相比之下，他夺取约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术中心控制权、在阿灵顿国家公墓入口建造一座250英尺高的凯旋门、以及在白宫增设镀金宴会厅的举措更为引人注目。这一次，则是对一座市政高尔夫球场和公共公园的彻底改造。
The clash put a spotlight on what had been one of the president’s less visible plans for transforming the capital, compared to his efforts to seize control of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, build a 250-foot triumphal arch at the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery and add a gilded ballroom to the White House. This, instead, was the overhaul of a municipal golf course and public park.
事态最终以雷耶斯法官周一发布的一份措辞严厉的70页意见书告终，她在文中写道，法庭上听到的许多陈述与特朗普先生关于高尔夫球场的公开表态背道而驰，后者甚至在官员们坚称没有确定长期计划时就已发表。
It culminated in a searing 70-page opinion issued on Monday, in which Judge Reyes wrote that much of what she had been told in court stood at odds with Mr. Trump’s public pronouncements about the golf course, which came even as officials were insisting that no long-term plan was settled.
“美国司法部极少（如果有的话）会敦促联邦法院不信任在任总统，”她写道。“不信任他关于一位内阁部长已‘开发’了一项联邦土地项目的说法。不信任他关于该部长的机构将摧毁该土地上现有的历史悠久高尔夫球场的说法。”“然而，我们就身处此境，”她补充道。
“Rarely, if ever, has the United States Department of Justice urged a federal court not to believe the sitting President,” she wrote. “Not to believe him that a cabinet secretary has ‘developed’ a federal land project. Not to believe him that the secretary’s agency will destroy a historic golf course already on the land.”“And yet, here we are,” she added.
一个由两名华盛顿州居民和一个保护协会组成的团体起诉以阻止对现有场地的彻底改造，他们请求法院禁止政府在本月初一天上午砍伐了400棵树后继续砍伐更多树木。
A group that included two Washington residents and a preservationsociety who sued to block an overhaul of the existing site had asked the court to prevent the administration from cutting down more trees after 400 were felled in one morning earlier this month.
