最近美国政坛密集地发生一些重大的事情，下面逐一说一下。

1. House passes Democrats climate and health care bill, sending it to Bidens desk美国国会近日通过了民主党的《气候和健康法案》，只待拜登签字。Washington — Democrats in the House on Friday pushed their more than $700 billion domestic policy package across the finish line, sending to President Biden for his signature their long-negotiated plan to address drug costs, raise taxes on large corporations and combat global warming. 华盛顿——本周五，民主党人终于将7000亿的国内政策包推进到最后一步，经过漫长的谈判现在此法案已经送到拜登的办公桌前，只差签字生效。该法案旨在解决药物成本、提高对大企业的税收、应对全球变暖等多个方面发挥作用。Passage of the proposal, now by both chambers of Congress, marks the end of a long-fought effort by Democrats to approve legislation that addresses Mr. Bidens top domestic and great economic priorities. While the package is the result of a compromise that yielded a measure more narrow than the initial sprawling social spending plan put forth by the president last year, its approval gives Democrats a crucial legislative win ahead of the November midterm elections.参众两院双双通过这项提议意味着民主党长期的努力有了回报。这是本届拜登对着手解决的美国国内民生经济方面的无疑是至关重要的。最终通过的法案是一个妥协的版本，此前总统提交的是涵盖范围更广财政预算。此项法案顺利通过也是民主党的一次重大胜利，给即将11月的中期选举提供了重要的帮助。单词：compromise:妥协sprawling:大水漫灌式的,sprawl
