Facing a likely roadblock from Republicans in the US House of Representatives on aid for Ukraine, President Joe Biden said Wednesday he is planning to give a major speech on the issue and hinted there may be "another means" to support Kyiv if Congress balks.

美国总统拜登星期三说，在援助乌克兰的问题上，他可能会遭到众议院共和党人的阻挠。拜登说，他计划就这个问题发表重要讲话。他还暗示，如果国会反对，可能会采取“另一种方式”来支持乌克兰。

"It does worry me, and but I know there are a majority of members of the House and Senate in both parties who have said that they support funding Ukraine."

“这确实让我担心，但我知道，参众两院两党大多数议员都表示愿意为乌克兰提供资金。”

Aid for Ukraine has been a source of tension and uncertainty as several Republicans in the House have severe doubts or openly oppose additional funding to sustain the Ukrainian military.

对乌克兰的援助一直是紧张和不确定性的根源，因为众议院的几名共和党人严重怀疑或公开反对为乌克兰军队提供额外资金。

The US House of Representatives remains in historic chaos Wednesday, a day after it('s) booted its speaker out of the job, a first for the House, as infighting in the narrowly divided Republican majority toppled Kevin McCarthy from the position.

周三，美国众议院仍处于历史性的混乱之中。一天前，众议院议长凯文·麦卡锡因共和党多数派的内讧而下台，这在众议院尚属首次。

Until a new speaker is installed, it's unlikely Congress will take action on bills to fund the government.

在新议长上任之前，国会不太可能就为政府提供资金的法案采取行动。

That legislative halt comes as another government shutdown deadline looms on November 18.

这次立法停摆正值11月18日政府关门的最后期限临近。

But, with Republicans needing a week to choose a new speaker, it would stall talks on government funding.

但是，由于共和党人需要一周的时间来选择一位新议长，这将拖延有关政府拨款的谈判。

Hard-right conservatives like House Representative Matt Gaetz, who called for McCarthy's ouster, were angry over the then-speaker's failure to win extremely deep spending cuts in those funding bills.

众议院的盖兹众议员等极右翼保守派人士对麦卡锡未能在这些拨款法案中争取到大幅削减开支而感到愤怒。盖兹曾呼吁麦卡锡下台。

Italian authorities were investigating on Wednesday the cause of the horrific crash of a bus carrying foreign tourists on the outskirts of Venice, which killed 21 people, including several children, and injured 15 others.

周三，意大利当局正在调查一辆载有外国游客的巴士在威尼斯郊区发生可怕车祸的原因，该事故造成21人死亡，其中包括几名儿童，另有15人受伤。

The electric bus crashed through the guardrail and off an overpass late on Tuesday.

周二晚些时候，这辆电动巴士撞穿了护栏，掉下了一座立交桥。
