President Joe Biden is nearing his 100th day in office as president of the United States. During his campaign, Biden promised to reach several goals in his first 100 days as leader.

乔·拜登作为美国总统即将就任100天。在大选期间,拜登承诺在就职前100天要达成数个目标。

迄今为止,拜登政府一直将工作重心放在控制新冠肺炎危机上。拜登兑现了与该问题有关的大部分竞选承诺。

The president also met a number of promised actions on climate change and the economy. But other issues have proved to be more difficult for the administration, including immigration. Biden is struggling with how to enact1 promised reforms in the face of a sharp increase in the number of foreign children seeking to cross the border. On some of his promises, Biden is waiting for Congress to act.

拜登总统在气候变化与经济方面也实现了一些承诺。但是事实证明,包括移民在内的其它问题对政府来说更加困难。面对寻求越境的外国儿童人数急剧增加,拜登正在苦苦应对如何实施承诺的改革。在他的一些承诺上,拜登正等着国会的行动。

拜登在实现外交目标政策方面取得了喜忧参半的成就。他完全实现了一个目标,将第一次世界大战期间发生在亚美尼亚人身上的事件视为种族灭绝。

His other foreign policy goals are either in progress or are hard to measure.

He did not hold Saudi Arabia's crown prince, Mohammed bin16 Salman, responsible for the killing17 of US-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

他的其它外交政策要么在进行中,要么难以衡量。例如,他已经推动将人权放在其外交政策的中心,但是他与美国的盟友并不一致。他没有让沙特王储穆罕默德·萨勒曼为杀害美国记者贾马尔·卡舒吉负责。
