Within minutes of the House vote, however, the Senate again voted to strip out the amendments,_1_ a clean version of the funding bill back to the House, which again has begun debate. This point at least a partial government shutdown seems to be almost inevitable 2.
众议院马上就要进行投票，但是参议院再次投票排除了修订方案，将拨款法案的清洁版发回众议院，这再次引起了辩论。目前来看，部分政府即将关闭的情况是不可避免的。
President Obama, meantime, had a clear message at the White House today with the possible _2_ government shutdown, the president telling respective sides to put aside their differences over his health care law and pass a measure that will keep the government running. In an interview with NPR, the president says he's not delaying the health care law just because some Republicans don't like it.
同时，今天奥巴马总统在白宫就政府可能面临关闭的情况明确表明态度，总统劝告两党抛开在奥巴马医改上的分歧，通过法案使政府维持运行。总统在接受NPR新闻的采访时表示，他不会因为一些共和党人不喜欢奥巴马医改而推迟实施。
"The notion that we would even delay them getting that kind of peace of mind, potentially going to a doctor to get _3_ for illnesses that they currently have simply because the Republicans _4_, ideologically 3, that they're opposed to the Affordable 4 Care Act is not something that we're gonna _5_."
“可能有人有这种想法，认为仅因为共和党的决定就会推迟实施他们现在享有的去看医生接受治疗的待遇，只因为他们反对平价医疗法，但这并不是我们要讨论的问题。”
