美國第一夫人宣布白宮將于下月恢復對外開放
After pressure from lawmakers, First Lady Melania Trump announced the White House will reopen to the public on March 7, nearly seven weeks after her husband Donald became president.
經過議員施壓，美國第一夫人梅蘭妮亞·特朗普宣布，白宮將于3月7日重新對公眾開放，屆時其丈夫唐納德·特朗普就任總統已近7周。
"I am excited to reopen the White House to the hundreds of thousands of visitors who come each year. The White House is a remarkable and historic site and we are excited to share its beauty and history," she said in a brief statement.
梅蘭妮亞·特朗普在一個簡短的聲明中說道：“我很高興能向每年成千上萬的游客重新開放白宮。白宮是一個非凡的、有歷史影響的地點，我們很高興能分享它的美麗和歷史。”
"I am committed to the restoration and preservation of our nation's most recognizable landmark," she said.
她表示：“我致力于恢復和保護我們國家最知名的地標建筑。”
White House tours are highly popular with visitors to Washington, a perk arranged by members of Congress for their constituents and foreign embassies for their nationals.
參觀白宮深受到訪華盛頓的游客歡迎，這是美國國會議員可為選民、外國大使館可為本國公民安排的一項福利。
The tours had been temporarily suspended, which is typical when there's a new president.
此前白宮參觀項目被暫停，這是新總統上任時的慣例。
But the unusually long White House closure since Trump's inauguration on Jan 20 irked some members of Congress, whose constituents were unhappy about the lack of public access.
但自特朗普1月20日就職以來，白宮超長時間的閉門謝客惹惱了一些國會議員，白宮不對公眾開放使得他們的選民很不滿。
