4月16日,美国美术委员会在国家建筑博物馆举行公开会议,委员会成员马修·泰勒在会上查看唐纳德·特朗普总统为纪念美国建国250周年而提议建造的凯旋门模型。Commission of Fine Arts member Matthew Taylor inspects a model of President Donald Trump's proposed triumphal arch to commemorate the country's 250th anniversary during a public meeting of the Commission of Fine Arts at the National Building Museum on April 16.

特朗普政府周五发布了其提出的250英尺凯旋门的最终计划,值得注意的是,该计划排除了特朗普总统用来为有争议的项目辩护的军事设施关键特征,包括无人机和狙击手。

The Trump administration on Friday released final plans for its proposed 250-foot triumphal arch, notably excluding key features of a military complex including drones and snipers that President Donald Trump used as justification for the controversial project.

在由联邦国家首都规划委员会公开的新文件中,凯旋门的轮廓似乎并未体现国家安全目的。相反,提交的计划将该项目描述为国家首都的“仪式性门户”。

In the new documents, made public by the federal National Capital Planning Commission, the contours of the arch do not appear to reflect a national security purpose. Instead, the plans submitted describe the project as a “ceremonial gateway” to the nation’s capital.

特朗普在9月宣布,该凯旋门将坐落在阿灵顿国家公墓正对面,将存储大量无人机,并作为军事狙击手的哨所,还将储存大量弹药。

Trump announced in September that the arch that would sit directly across Arlington National Cemetery would store large numbers of drones and function as a post for military snipers, with a large cache of ammunition.

该拟建凯旋门是特朗普为重塑国家首都以符合其形象而推进的多个项目之一,引发了保护主义者及其他方面的法律诉讼。凯旋门因国家安全目的而必要的这一理念,呼应了特朗普为在东翼原址建设白宫舞厅所提出的论点。

The proposed arch is among several projects Trump is pursuing in an effort to remake the nation’s capital in his image, prompting legal battles from preservationists and others. The idea of the arch being needed for national security purposes mirrors an argument Trump has made for building a White House ballroom where the East Wing once stood.

拟建凯旋门将坐落在连接华盛顿特区和弗吉尼亚州的交通圆环中央,设有观景台,可俯瞰阿灵顿国家公墓。起诉以阻止其建设的退伍军人认为,这座高耸的结构将破坏公墓葬礼的庄严肃穆,而保护主义者则认为它将破坏包括林肯纪念堂、阿灵顿府和罗伯特·E·李纪念堂在内的国家地标排列的视线。

The proposed arch would sit squarely in a traffic circle connecting Washington DC to Virginia, with an observation deck offering views of Arlington National Cemetery. Veterans suing to stop its construction argue that the towering structure would break the solemnity of funerals at the cemetery, while preservations argue it would disrupt the sightline of the row of national landmarks that includes the Lincoln Memorial, Arlington House and the Robert E. Lee Memorial.

尽管周五提交的计划未包含特朗普描述的军事组成部分,但该结构仍可能具备这些特征。

While the plans submitted Friday don’t include the military components Trump described, the structure still might feature them.

内政部发言人周六对CNN表示,凯旋门的现有设计能够容纳特朗普在社交媒体帖子中强调的国家安全职能。该机构发言人称,该结构将“提升阿灵顿国家公墓对退伍军人、阵亡者家属以及所有美国人的参观体验。”历史保护咨询委员会是行政部门内一个鲜为人知的独立联邦机构,该委员会上周就此事进行了私下通话。该机构表示,关于将凯旋门作为军事资产使用的分析将单独考虑,与已经在历史审查和批准程序中推进的施工计划分开,这是根据两位知情人士透露的。

An Interior Department spokesperson told CNN on Saturday that the current design of the triumphal arch is capable of accommodating the national security functions Trump highlighted in a social media post. The agency spokesperson said the structure will “enhance the visitor experience at Arlington National Cemetery for veterans, the families of the fallen, and all Americans alike.”The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, a little-known independent federal agency within the executive branch, conducted a private call last week on the matter. The agency said that an analysis on the use of the arch as a military asset would be considered separately from construction plans that had already been making their way through a historical review and approval process, according to two sources close to the matter.

将凯旋门作为军事综合体使用的历史影响评估必须由国防部提出请求才能进行,而国防部尚未向历史保护咨询委员会提交此类请求。

An evaluation on the historical impact of using the arch as a military complex would have to come at the request of the Department of Defense, which has yet to submit a request to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.

这种双轨制——批准凯旋门的施工计划,并单独考虑将其用作军事综合体的意图——规避了关于凯旋门是否需要重新接受关键委员会全面审查和批准的问题。

This dual track — approving the arch construction plans and the separate intent to use it as a military complex — sidesteps questions over whether the arch would need to be reviewed and approved by key commissions all over again.

五角大楼将CNN转介至白宫以获取评论,但白宫尚未回应CNN的询问。

The Pentagon referred CNN to the White House for comment, who has not responded to CNN’s inquiry.

未包含军事综合体的计划已获美术委员会批准,并获得国家首都规划委员会的初步批准,这两个是监管华盛顿特区建筑和设计变更的关键联邦机构。国家首都规划委员会尚未对该项目给出最终批准,但政府正考虑在11月的会议上批准该项目。

The plans without the complex have been approved by the Commission of Fine Arts and have received preliminary approval from the National Capital Planning Commission, the two key federal agencies that oversee architecture and design changes in DC The National Capital Planning Commission has not given final go-ahead for the project but the administration is eyeing November’s meeting for approval.
