参议院周二晚进一步推进一项重大基础设施和能源法案，使其在参议院更接近最终通过。
The Senate further advanced a major infrastructure and energy bill Tuesday night, moving it one step closer to the finish line in the upper chamber.
该法案旨在加快能源及其他项目的建设，同时限制环境诉讼挑战，在一项程序性投票中以62票对21票通过，仅一天前它在另一项程序性投票中以73票对25票通过。周二投票后，参议院预计将进入修正案程序，审议对法案的修改。
The bill — which seeks to speed up the buildout of energy and other projects while curtailing environmental challenges — advanced in a procedural vote 62-21, just one day after it advanced in a prior procedural vote 73-25. Following Tuesday’s vote, the Senate is expected to take up an amendment process to consider changes to the bill.
此次投票显示，尽管一些支持者和反对者都呼吁修改，该法案目前仍拥有所需的支持票数。
The vote shows the bill still has requisite support at this point despite some supporters and opponents alike calling for changes.
例如，几名民主党人在多个部落投诉后，呼吁修改法案中关于《国家历史保护法》的条款，称该法案不会给予部落足够的发言权。
Several Democrats, for example, have called for tweaks to the bill’s language on the National Historic Preservation Act following complaints from a number of tribes — saying the bill would not give them adequate input.
该立法是民主党与共和党的妥协产物：民主党希望建设更多可再生能源，共和党希望建设更多化石能源，并总体支持削减环境法规以促进经济增长。
The legislation is a compromise between Democrats, who want to build out more renewable energy, and Republicans, who want to build more fossil fuel energy and generally support curtailing environmental regulations in support of more economic growth.
白宫也支持该法案，尽管特朗普总统周一坚称他不会批准任何风电项目，且该立法仍处于谈判之中。
The White House is also backing the bill, even as President Trump insisted Monday that he would not approve any wind projects and that the legislation was still subject to negotiations.
该立法最终命运尚不清楚，因为进步派众议院民主党人已誓言反对。中期选举后的缺席情况也是一个重要变数。
The legislation’s ultimate fate is not clear, as progressive House Democrats have vowed to oppose it. Post-midterm absences are also a significant wildcard House Energy and Commerce Chair Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.) told Politico Tuesday he wants to change provisions in the bill that seek to help build out electric transmission, though that section could be key to Democratic support for the legislation.
众议院能源和商务委员会主席布雷特·古特里（共和党-肯塔基州）周二告诉《国会山报》，他想修改法案中旨在帮助建设电力输电的条款，尽管该部分可能是民主党支持该立法的关键。海伦·休斯克斯对此文亦有贡献。更新于美国东部时间晚上9:13。
