美众院通过短期调高债务上限法案

The US House of Representatives on Tuesday approved a bill to increase the nation's borrowing limit in the short term to avert a looming debt default, sending it to President Joe Biden's desk for his signature.

美国国会众议院10月12日通过一项短期调高联邦政府债务上限的法案，暂时避免政府债务违约风险。由于参议院上周已通过这项法案，该法案随后将递交总统拜登签署生效。

The House voted 219-206 along party lines to adopt a procedural rule, which automatically deemed as passed the short-term debt limit extension that the Senate approved last week.

众议院以219票赞成、206票反对的结果批准了一项有关法案辩论的程序性规则，这意味着，短期调高债务上限的法案自动获得众议院批准。

The temporary measure would raise the federal government's debt limit by $480 billion, which would allow the US Treasury Department to meet obligations through Dec 3.

该法案将暂时调高债务上限约4800亿美元，确保美国财政部可履行支付义务至12月3日。
