原文及翻译

The federal government is expected to announce water cuts soon that would affect some of the 40 million people reliant on the Colorado River, the powerhouse of the U.S. West. The Interior Department announces water availability for the coming year months in advance so Western cities, farmers and others can plan.

联邦政府预计将很快宣布停水，这将影响依赖科罗拉多河的 4000 万人口，科罗拉多河是美国西部的发电站。内政部提前数月宣布了未来一年的供水情况，以便西部城市、农民和其他人可以制定计划。

Behind the scenes, however, more elusive plans are being hashed out: how the basin will share water from the diminishing 2,334-kilometer river after 2026, when many current guidelines that govern it expire.

然而，幕后正在制定更多难以捉摸的计划：2026 年之后，该流域将如何分享这条日益减少的 2,334 公里河流的水量，届时许多现行管理该河流的准则将到期。

The Colorado River supplies water to seven Western states, more than two dozen Native American tribes, and two states in Mexico. It also irrigates millions of acres of farmland in the American West and generates hydropower used across the region. Years of overuse combined with rising temperatures and drought have meant less water flows in the Colorado today than in decades past.

科罗拉多河为七个西部州、二十多个美洲原住民部落和墨西哥的两个州供水。它还灌溉了美国西部数百万英亩的农田，并为整个地区提供水力发电。多年的过度使用加上气温升高和干旱意味着今天科罗拉多州的水流量比过去几十年少。
