From NPR News in Washington, I'm Louise Schiavone. No sooner had global markets heaved _1_ relief with House passage of a fiscal cliff deal than recriminations emerged about something GOP leaders _2_ , approve emergency relief for states hit hard by superstorm Sandy.An irate New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is denouncing the GOP-dominated House. “Shame on you, shame on Congress.” And as NPR's Allison Keyes tells us leaders everywhere are pressing the House to move now.

這里是華盛頓NPR新聞，我是路易絲?斯齊亞沃尼。眾議院通過財政懸崖議案，全球市場得到緩解不久，共和黨領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人沒有盡職的事情就引起了責難，而這件事就是共和黨未同意對遭受颶風“桑迪”襲擊的州進行緊急救助。新澤西州州長克里斯?克里斯蒂憤怒地指責共和黨占主導(dǎo)地位的眾議院。“真可恥，國會真可恥。”據(jù)NPR新聞的艾莉森?凱斯報道，各個地方的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人現(xiàn)在都在向眾議院施壓，要求其采取行動。

In a statement, President Obama says despite his urgent request for help for eastern states, devastated by the deadly storm, the House _3_ act. Mr. Obama urges Republicans in the House to vote today. Republican New York Congressman, Peter King, accuses some in his party of having a double-standard when it comes to helping New York and New Jersey, telling MSNBC about his district. The governors of New York and New Jersey issued a joint statement, calling the failure of the House to act unprecedented. A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner says he is committed to getting the bill passed this month. Allison Keyes, NPR News, Washington. I would say to the speaker, he is also a people who historically voted Republican.

奧巴馬總統(tǒng)在聲明中表示，雖然他迫切要求對遭受颶風重創(chuàng)的東部各州進行援助，但是眾議院拒絕采取行動。奧巴馬先生要求眾議院內(nèi)的共和黨今天進行投票。共和黨紐約州議員彼得?金接受了微軟全國廣播公司的采訪，講述他所在管區(qū)的情況并指責稱，共和黨內(nèi)有些人在救助紐約州和新澤西州的問題上采取雙重標準。我要對議長說，他也是一向投票給共和黨的人。紐約州州長和新澤西州州長發(fā)表了一份聯(lián)合聲明，稱眾議院不采取行動是史無前例的。眾議院議長約翰?博納的發(fā)言人表示，他正在努力使議案能在這個月通過。NPR新聞，艾莉森?凱斯華盛頓報道。

NPR's Elizabeth Wynne Johnson has details on the rosier side of a 11th hour House action.Shortly after Wall Street ran into 2013, the collective response was clear. That we've avoided the worst of the fiscal cliff. That we've avoided the biggest tax increases and spending cuts that _4_ the US economy into recession. Economist Gus Faucher of PNC Financial Services says this deal, pretty much looks like what Wall Street expected for now, but with no clear resolution of long-term federal spending concerns and another debt-limit increase looming. So,there are still some uncertainty out there, but it's certainly _5_ than it was a day or two ago. Elizabeth Wynne Johnson. NPR News.

眾議院的決議歷時11個小時，NPR新聞的伊麗莎白?懷恩?約翰遜將帶來樂觀的詳細報道。就在華爾街進入2013年后不久，集體回應(yīng)便明確了。我們要避免最糟糕的財政懸崖。我們要避免大額度地增稅和減支，那會將美國經(jīng)濟推入衰退期。PNC金融服務(wù)集團的經(jīng)濟學(xué)家格斯?福徹表示，這個法案現(xiàn)在看起來更像是華爾街所期待的結(jié)果，可是它并沒有明確地解決聯(lián)邦長期開支的困擾，增加債務(wù)上限的時期將會來臨。所以，依然存在一些不確定性，不過這肯定比一兩天前的情況好多了。伊麗莎白?懷恩?約翰遜報道。這里是NPR新聞。
