美最高法院允許禁穆令生效

The US Supreme Court will allow a controversial ban imposed by the Trump administration on travellers from certain countries to take effect while legal challenges continue.

在法律挑戰尚未停息之際，美國最高法院將允許特朗普政府作出的一項阻止某些國家的旅行者進入美國的爭議性禁令生效。

Two of the high court’s nine judges, Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayer dissented from the order on Monday evening, which will put on hold a lower-court decision that stopped the ban from being fully implemented.

最高法院9名大法官中的兩名——魯思?巴德?金斯伯格(Ruth Bader Ginsburg)和索尼婭?索托馬約爾(Sonia Sotomayer)——不贊同週一晚的這項命令。該命令將擱置下級法院作出的停止全面實施上述禁令的裁定。

An earlier version of the travel ban was written and issued within weeks of US President Donald Trump taking office, pertaining to travellers from six Muslim-majority countries.

更早版本的旅行禁令是在美國總統唐納德?特朗普(Donald Trump)就職幾周之內擬定和發佈的，涉及對象是6個穆斯林佔多數的國家的旅行者。

Amid several legal challenges, however, the travel ban has been rewritten and tailored in recent months to impose restrictions on travellers from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Chad, North Korea and Venezuela.

然而，在遭到多次法律挑戰之時，該旅行禁令在近幾個月裏被重新擬定和調整，對來自伊朗、利比亞、索馬里、敘利亞、也門、乍得、朝鮮和委內瑞拉的旅行者做出了限制。

While civil rights activists have condemned the measure, supporters say it is necessary to allow sufficient vetting to protect national security.

儘管民權活動人士們譴責了這一措施，但支持者們表示，禁令是必要的，以便爲保障國家安全而進行充分審查。

Monday’s order will stay in effect while two appeals challenging the ban move forward.

在兩宗挑戰該禁令的上訴案推進之際，最高法院週一發出的命令將一直有效。
