據福克斯商業頻道29日報道，美國財政部網站當日發布的最新數據顯示，美國聯邦政府債務規模已突破35萬億美元大關。

The U.S. national debt surpassed $35 trillion for the first time in the nation's history on Monday as the federal government continues to accumulate debt at a record-setting pace.
7月29日，隨著美國聯邦政府繼續以創紀錄的速度積累債務，美國國債歷史上首次超過35萬億美元。

The milestone comes just months after the U.S. eclipsed the $34 trillion threshold in early January 2024, while the $33 trillion mark was reached in September 2023. By comparison, the national debt hovered around $907 billion just four decades ago.
就在幾個月前，美國聯邦政府債務規模在今年初達到34萬億美元，在2023年9月突破33萬億美元。相比之下，40年前，美國債務徘徊在9070億美元左右。

"Just last month the Congressional Budget Office warned Americans that debt held by the public is on its way to a new record share of the economy in three years. The deficit will be nearly $2 trillion this year and nearly $3 trillion in ten years," Maya MacGuineas, president of the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, said in a statement.
美國獨立研究機構聯邦預算問責委員會主席馬婭·麥吉尼亞斯在一份聲明中說，就在上個月，美國國會預算辦公室警告，美國聯邦政府債務規模將在三年內創下新的經濟份額紀錄。今年的赤字將接近2萬億美元，十年后將接近3萬億美元。

"Yet despite all the risks and warning signs, these alarm bells seem to be falling on deaf ears. Instead, we are hearing an awful lot about spending and tax cuts that would make the situation worse, not better," MacGuineas added. "We are going to have to get serious about the debt, and soon. Election years cannot be an exception for trying to prevent completely foreseeable dangers – and the debt is one of the major dangers we are facing."
麥吉尼亞斯稱，“然而，所有風險和警告信號似乎被無視。相反，我們聽到了很多關于支出和減稅的言論，這些言論會使情況變得更糟，而不是更好。我們必須認真對待債務問題，立即采取行動。選舉年也不能例外，要努力防止完全可預見的危險——債務是我們面臨的主要危險之一。”

The U.S. topping $35 trillion in total debt comes as the debt held by the public is projected to reach 99% of the size of the U.S. gross domestic product this year.
與此同時，美國債務預計今年將達到國內生產總值（GDP）的99%。

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has projected the debt held by the public will reach a record level of more than 106% of GDP in 2027.
獨立機構國會預算辦公室預測，2027年美國債務將刷新紀錄，達到GDP的106%以上。

This year the federal government is projected to run a $1.9 trillion budget deficit, according to the latest estimate by the CBO.
根據國會預算辦公室的最新估計，今年聯邦政府將出現1.9萬億美元的預算赤字。

That would be $200 billion larger than last year's deficit, while the CBO's latest estimate for the current year is about $408 billion larger than an estimate published in February.
這將比去年的赤字高出2000億美元，而國會預算辦公室對今年的最新預測比2月份公布的數據高出約4080億美元。
