听力原文及翻译

A federal judge on Tuesday rejected Donald Trump's request to intervene in his New York hush money criminal case, thwarting the former president's latest bid to overturn his felony conviction and delay his sentencing.

周二，一名联邦法官驳回了唐纳德·特朗普介入其纽约封口费刑事案件的请求，挫败了这位前总统推翻重罪判决并推迟宣判的最新努力。

U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein denied Trump's lawyers permission to file paperwork asking the U.S. District Court in Manhattan to take control of the case. He said they had failed to satisfy the burden of proof required for a federal court to seize the case from the state court where Trump was convicted in May.

美国地区法官阿尔文·赫勒斯坦拒绝了特朗普律师提交文件，要求曼哈顿美国地区法院接管此案的许可。他说，他们未能满足联邦法院从特朗普于 5 月被定罪的州法院接管此案所需的举证责任。

The ruling leaves Trump's case in state court, where he is scheduled to be sentenced September 18.

该裁决将特朗普的案件留在州法院，他定于 9 月 18 日在那里被判刑。

Trump's lawyers had sought to move the case to federal court so they could then seek to have the verdict overturned and the case dismissed in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling granting ex-presidents immunity from prosecution for official acts.

特朗普的律师曾试图将案件转移到联邦法院，这样他们就可以在美国最高法院裁决前总统免于因公职行为受到起诉后寻求推翻判决并驳回案件。

Hellerstein, who denied Trump's request last year to move the case to federal court, said nothing about the Supreme Court's July 1 ruling affected his "previous conclusion that the hush money payments" at issue in Trump's case "were private, unofficial acts, outside the bounds of executive authority."

赫勒斯坦去年拒绝了特朗普将案件移交联邦法院的请求，他说最高法院 7 月 1 日的裁决丝毫没有影响他“先前的结论，即特朗普案中涉及的封口费是“私人、非官方行为，超出了行政权力范围”。

Hellerstein sidestepped a defense argument that Trump had been the victim of "bias, conflicts of interest, and appearances of impropriety" at the hands of the judge who presided over the trial in state court, Juan M. Merchan.

赫勒斯坦回避了辩护方的辩称，即特朗普是主持州法院审判的法官胡安·M·默坎手中“偏见、利益冲突和不当行为”的受害者。

"This Court does not have jurisdiction to hear Mr. Trump's arguments concerning the propriety of the New York trial," Hellerstein wrote in a four-page decision.

赫勒斯坦在一份长达四页的裁决中写道：“本法院无权审理特朗普先生关于纽约审判是否适当的论点。”
