哗然! 特朗普一年的旅行支出将超奥巴马八年总和
Donald Trump's travel to his private club in Florida has cost over an estimated $20 million in his first 80 days as president, putting the president on pace in his first year of office to surpass former President Barack Obama's spending on travel for his entire eight years.
在上任的头80天里，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普光是去他位于佛罗里达私人俱乐部的旅行支出就已经高达2000多万美元。按照这种花法，他首年任期所花的旅费，将会超越前任总统贝拉克·奥巴马在任八年的旅费。The outsized spending on travel stands in stark relief to Trump's calls for belt tightening across the federal government and the fact that he regularly criticized Obama for costing the American taxpayer money every time he took a trip.
特朗普旅行经费的巨额支出与他号召全国政府勤俭节约的说法形成鲜明对比，并且此前他本人也经常批评奥巴马外出旅行是在浪费纳税人的钱。Given variations in each trip, estimating the security costs around a presidential trip is difficult.
考虑到每次出行的具体内容差异很大，要估计总统每一次出行的具体安保费用可不太容易。
But a 2016 Government Accountability Office report about a four-day trip Obama took to Florida in 2013 -- one similar to Trump's trips -- found the total cost to the Secret Service and Coast Guard was $3.6 million.
但2016年美国政府问责署的一份报告显示，奥巴马总统在2013年前往佛罗里达州的一次4天行程中（该行程与特朗普上任以来频繁前往佛罗里达州的行程相似），安保和海岸警卫队的总支出高达360万美元。
To date, Trump has spent six weekends -- and a total of 21 days -- at Mar-A-Lago, his private Palm Beach club. The total estimated costs for those trips are around $21.6 million.
到今天为止，特朗普已经在他位于佛罗里达州棕榈泉的私人官邸--海湖庄园度过了六个周末，共计21天。这几次出行的支出预计在2160万美元左右。Obama, by contrast, spent just under $97 million on travel in his eight years as president, according to documents reviewed by Judicial Watch, a conservative government watchdog.
相比之下，据司法监督机构——一个保守的政府部门--的文件显示，奥巴马在作为总统的八年间，出行经费在9700万美金之内。Trump's frequent weekend travel makes it all but certain the 45th President will surpass Obama's spending in his first term, likely within months.
特朗普频繁的周末出行使得这位第45任总统在第一个任期内的支出百分百会超过奥巴马，也有可能在数月间就会超过。Trump's frequent trips to Florida will likely end soon. Businesses in Palm Beach County have been told to expect the president to visit through May, but that Trump will likely stop visiting after that because the weather in the area begins to get stiflingly hot.
不过特朗普多次前往佛罗里达的行程不久将会结束。虽然棕榈滩的生意可能期待他5月份去打理，但是随着该地区气温的逐渐攀升，特朗普可能在5月以后就不会再去了。Instead, many expect Trump will then start making frequent trips to his penthouse apartment at Trump Tower in New York City -- where first lady Melania Trump has been living for the first part of 2017 as their son, Baron, finishes school -- and his private Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster Township, New Jersey.
相反，许多人预测特朗普接下来会频繁前往他位于纽约特朗普大厦的空中别墅--第一夫人梅拉尼娅为了让儿子巴伦在目前就读的学校完成学业，而在2017年上半年继续居住于此。此外，还有他位于新泽西州贝德明斯特的私人国家高尔夫俱乐部。Not only does Trump travel frequently, but New York City officials have said it costs between $127,000 to $146,000 a day to protect first lady Melania Trump when she is in New York and the president is not there.
除了特朗普的频繁出行之外，纽约市的官员也表示，当第一夫人独自呆在纽约时，为确保梅拉尼娅的安全，纽约市每天将支出12.7万至14.6万美金的安保经费。
