Large banners of President Trump now hang from multiple federal buildings in Washington, including the nation's top law enforcement branch, in a bold statement of power and influence over the government.

特朗普总统的大型横幅现悬挂于华盛顿多座联邦大楼上，包括该国最高执法部门， 以彰显其权力和对政府的影响力。

A long blue banner with Mr. Trump's visage was draped on the exterior of the Justice Department headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, making it the latest federal building to have a banner with the president's face. The banner's lower border says "Make America Safe Again" in capital letters.

一面印有特朗普先生肖像的 蓝色长横幅于周四悬挂在华盛顿特区的司法部总部大楼外立面， 使该部门成为最新一座悬挂总统头像横幅的联邦建筑。 横幅下方边框以大写字母印着“让美国再次安全”。

The signage is a strikingly prominent indication of how Mr. Trump has eroded the separation that has long existed between the Justice Department and the White House to protect the department from political influence.

这一标识以极为显眼的方式表明，特朗普先生如何 削弱了司法部与白宫之间长期存在的、旨在保护该部门免受政治影响的界限。

That careful distance has been dissolving since the beginning of Mr. Trump's second term. He has installed allies at the top ranks of the department to oversee a retribution campaign and investigate perceived political enemies. Hundreds of agency lawyers have since been fired, and thousands more have resigned.

自特朗普先生第二任期开始以来， 这种刻意保持的距离感一直在消解。 他在司法部高层安插盟友，以监督一场报复行动并调查被视为政治对手的人。 此后，该机构数百名律师被解雇，另有数千人辞职。

The White House referred all questions pertaining to the Justice Department's banner — including the reason behind its installation, its cost and the duration of its display — to the Justice Department, which did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

白宫将所有关于司法部横幅的问题——包括其安装原因、 成本及展示时长——都转给了司法部，而司法部未立即回应置评请求。

Similar banners were installed at other federal buildings last year, including the Agriculture Department and Labor Department.

类似的横幅去年也曾安装在其它联邦大楼，包括农业部与劳工部。

The banner hung between columns at the Washington headquarters of the Agriculture Department says "Growing America Since 1862." It hangs a few columns away from a banner depicting Abraham Lincoln.

悬挂在华盛顿农业部总部大楼柱子之间的横幅上写着“自1862年起培育美国”。 它与一幅描绘亚伯拉罕·林肯的横幅相隔几根柱子。

An Agriculture Department spokesperson said on Thursday that the department was excited to celebrate America's 250th anniversary, "particularly the roles our farmers and ranchers had in shaping our nation."

一位农业部发言人周四表示，该部门很高兴能庆祝美国250周年纪念， “特别是我们的农民和牧场主在塑造我们国家过程中所扮演的角色。”

The Trump banner at the Labor Department says, "American Workers First," also in capital letters, and carries the emblem for the nation's 250th anniversary. Along the same frontage hangs a banner showing Theodore Roosevelt, with the same wording and emblem. Those two banners cost roughly $6,000, and were originally created for Labor Day, said Courtney Parella, a spokeswoman for the Labor Department. After receiving "tremendous positive response," the department decided that they would stay up throughout the celebrations for America's semiquincentennial, she said.

劳工部悬挂的特朗普横幅上以大写字母写着“美国工人优先”， 并带有美国250周年纪念的标志。 在同一侧外立面，还悬挂着一幅展示西奥多·罗斯福的横幅，上面有相同的文字和标志。 劳工部发言人考特妮·帕雷拉表示，这两条横幅花费约6000美元，最初是为劳工节制作的。 她说，在收到“巨大的积极反响”后， 该部门决定在美国250周年庆典期间一直保留它们。

The same day that the banner was hung on the Justice Department building, Mr. Trump hosted the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace, a new international body he created.

就在同一天，特朗普先生主持了他新设立的国际机构—— 和平委员会的首次会议。

It was held at the Donald J. Trump United States Institute of Peace, a decades-old organization recently renamed for the president.

会议在唐纳德·J·特朗普美国和平研究所举行， 这是一个已有数十年历史的组织，最近以总统的名字重新命名。

"Marco named it after me," Mr. Trump said in his opening remarks at Board of Peace meeting, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat a few feet away. "I had nothing to do with it, I swear I didn't. I swear. I had no idea."

“马可以我的名字命名了它，”特朗普先生 在和平委员会会议的开场白中说道，而国务卿马可·卢比奥就坐在几英尺开外。 “我与这事无关，我发誓我没有。 我发誓。 我毫不知情。”
