时隔一周后，特朗普终于同意为马里兰州枪击案遇难者降半旗致哀

President Donald Trump ordered flags flown at half-staff at federalbuildings on Tuesday in honor of the Capital Gazette shooting victims.

周二，美国总统唐纳德·特鲁普下令在联邦政府大楼降半旗，向《首都报》枪击事件遇难者致哀。



“Our Nation shares the sorrow of those affected by the shooting at theCapital Gazette newspaper in Annapolis, Maryland,” Trump’s Tuesday proclamationreads. “Americans across the country are united in calling upon God to be withthe victims and to bring aid and comfort to their families and friends. andcall upon their elected reps to restore decades of funding cuts for long termmental health care so people like the shooter could get help.”

特鲁普在周二的声明中写道。“我们的国家和那些在马里兰州安纳波利斯《首都报》受到枪击事件影响的人们一样悲伤，” “希望美国各地的人们团结一致，祈祷上帝与受害者同在，为他们的家人和朋友带来援助和安慰。并呼吁他们当选的代表，恢复被削减长达数十年的精神卫生保健资金，以便让枪手这样的人能得到帮助。”

Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckley told The Baltimore Sun on Monday that Trump had denie his request for flags to be flown athalf-staff in wake of the mass shooting in Annapolis, Maryland, that killedfive newspaper staffers.

安纳波利斯市长加文·巴克利周一对“巴尔的摩太阳报”表示，在马里兰州安纳波利斯发生大规模枪击事件造成5名报社工作人员死亡后，特朗普曾拒绝了他（降半旗致哀）的要求。

Trump decided Monday night to lower flags “as soon as the president heardabout the request from the mayor,” White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters told the Washington Post.

白宫发言人林赛·沃尔特斯(Lindsay Walters)对“华盛顿邮报”表示，降半旗致哀是特朗普周一晚间做出的决定，“总统一听到市长的请求，就决定降旗。”

Trump ordered flags to be flown at half-staff in February after theParkland, Florida, high school mass shooting that left 17 people dead, and inMay after a shooting at Sante Fe High School in Texas killed 10 people.

今年2月，佛罗里达州一所高中发生大规模枪击事件，造成17人死亡，5月份德克萨斯州圣菲高中枪击案导致10人死亡，特朗普均下令降旗致哀。

Presidents usually lower federal flags following the death of formerpresidents and service members, or other national tragedies.

总统通常在前总统和服役人员去世或其他国家悲剧之后降下联邦国旗。

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) ordered flags at the Capitol to be flownat half-staff on Tuesday.
“A free press, and those journalists who embody the ideals of the FirstAmendment, is critical to our democracy,” Ryan wrote on Twitter.

众议院议长保罗·莱恩星期二下令在国会大厦降半旗。莱恩在推特上写道：“自由媒体和那些体现第一修正案理念的记者对我们的民主至关重要。”

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) on Friday ordered state flags to be flown athalf-staff to honor the Capital Gazette victims.

而马里兰州州长拉里霍根则是在上周五下令降半旗，以纪念“首都公报”遇难的受害者。

“With the lowering of the Maryland flag, we honor the dedicatedjournalists of our hometown newspaper in our state’s capital,” the governorsaid in a statement. “To the family, friends, and colleagues at the CapitalGazette and its parent company, the Baltimore Sun, you have the deepestsympathies of a state in mourning.”

“随着国旗的下降，我们在州首府向为我们家乡报纸献身的记者们致敬，”州长在一份声明中说。“向遇袭的首都公报工作人员的家人、朋友和同事，以及它的母公司巴尔的摩太阳报表达全州人民的同情和哀悼。”

My flags have been at half staff since the election. Now they are quarterstaff. I can't wait to raise the flag to full staff once this administrationleaves office.

自从选举以来，我的旗帜已经降了一半了。现在已降到四分之一了。我等不及要在本届政府离任后把旗子升到顶端。

一开始他拒绝降旗。然后梅拉尼娅打了他的后脑勺，他就同意了。

You do not lower the flag for things like this, it is supposed to be avery honored tradition for Senior Government officials when they die i.e.Presidents and military figures, now we do it for everyone, it has lost allmeaning,

Why would Trump care? He said the press was the enemy of the people. Notlike Russia, a true friend of America.

特朗普干嘛在乎呢？他管新闻媒体叫人民的敌人。不象俄罗斯，那是美国真正的朋友。

It was a nice gesture. However, the liberal media will jump on him for notdoing it soon enough. They spin everything to the point that no matter whatgood is done, the former president was right and President Trump is wrong. Howmany things were revealed and proven to be true that the former president didshady things and knew things he said he didn’t...

这是个好姿态。然而，自由派媒体会因为他做得不够快而责备他。他们把一切都扭曲到了这样的地步：无论做什么好事，前总统都是对的，特朗普都是错的。有多少事实真相已经被揭露并被证明是正确的：前总统做了一些阴暗的事情，而他声称不知情的事情其实他也知道....

He refused to do it at first and that should be the headline. Anythingelse is dishonest at best. Trump is the enemy of the American people and anenemy of the constitution.

他一开始拒绝降旗，这应该是头条新闻。其他任何事情充其量都不过是不诚实罢了。特朗普是美国人民的敌人，也是宪法的敌人。
