为什么俄勒冈州人想加入爱达荷州？

We'll travel to Oregon now where some residents are pushing to move the state line so that they can join their neighboring state of Idaho.

我们现在将前往俄勒冈州，当地一些居民正在推动州界移动，这样他们就可以加入邻近的爱达荷州。

The movement known as Move Oregon's Border for a Greater Idaho is looking to redraw the border between Oregon and Idaho so that about 20 rural conservative Oregon counties can instead become part of Idaho.

这项名为“为大爱达荷州移动俄勒冈州边界”的运动正在寻求重新划定俄勒冈州和爱达荷州之间的边界，这样，俄勒冈州20个左右的农村保守派县就可以成为爱达荷州的一部分。

These counties say that they want to do this because they want a Republican led government.

这些县表示，他们想要归为爱达荷州，因为他们想要一个共和党领导的政府。

Oregon's state government is currently controlled by Democrats, while Idaho's state government is controlled by Republicans.

俄勒冈州政府目前由民主党控制，而爱达荷州政府由共和党控制。

Critics of the idea have called the plan bad for America and have stated that the U.S. political system works best when there's a balance of different viewpoints.

批评人士称该计划对美国不利，并表示美国的政治制度只有在各方观点相互制衡时才能发挥最大的作用。

But members of the group pushing for change have said rural Oregon is politically outnumbered in its state and that their voices have been ignored for years.

推动变革的组织成员表示，俄勒冈州农村地区在政治上处于劣势，他们的声音多年来一直被忽视。

The group believes their livelihoods, industries and freedoms are hurt by the policies of a government that doesn't share their values.

该组织认为，他们的生计、产业和自由受到了与他们价值观不同的政府所实施的政策的伤害。

Still, those opposed to the idea believe dividing America into politically like-minded people is the opposite of a healthy country.

尽管如此，那些反对重新划分州界的人们认为，把政治观点一致的人划分到一起，与一个健康的国家背道而驰。

We'll hear now from cnn National Correspondent Kyung Lah looking at both sides of this debate.

我们现在来听听cnn国家记者景兰对这场争辩双方的看法。

It's extremely frustrating. The rules and regulations that they're making that make sense in the city don't make sense out here.

沮丧至极。他们制定的那些在城市里行得通的规章制度在农村不好使。

Out here in eastern Oregon, the expansive rural region and Sandie Gilson's home where we're walking is a world away from the urban cities of the state.

俄勒冈州东部拥有广阔的农村地区，我们正前往桑迪·吉尔森的家，那里是一个远离城市的世界。

Do you have anything in common with Portland?

你和波特兰市的人有什么共同之处吗?

Oh, sure, we're all people.

哦，当然，我们都是人。

But she says that's about it. And the signs dotting the east tell you what many people here want known as the Greater Idaho Movement.

但她说仅此而已。遍布该州东部的指示牌让你了解这里许多人想要的“大爱达荷州运动”。

Redraw the state line so liberal Portland and the other democratic cities are Oregon.

重新划分州界，这样自由派的波特兰市以及其他民主派城市都归俄勒冈州。

And eastern Oregon overwhelmingly Republican joins largely conservative Idaho.

俄勒冈州东部绝大多数共和党地区加入保守的爱达荷州。

Nearly all of Oregon's 17 eastern county governments have approved plans to leave and form a larger Idaho resembling the logo on Sandie Gilson's hat.

俄勒冈州东部的17个县政府几乎都通过了与桑迪·吉尔森帽子上的标志一样的，脱离俄勒冈州，形成一个更大的爱达荷州的计划。

Is this about politics or differences?

这是出于政治还是分歧?

Both. We are very different people. I don't believe that the Oregon government as a whole and the supermajority that has been in power there for many decades is listening to eastern Oregon at all.

两者都有。我们是非常不同的人。我认为俄勒冈政府无法代表整体，掌权数年的绝对多数根本没有听取俄勒冈东部的意见。
