听力原文及翻译

President Joe Biden signed a 1.2 trillion dollar package of spending bills that Congress just passed, ending the threat of a potential partial government shutdown.  The legislation was approved by senators early Saturday, with passage coming nearly six months into the budget year, the White House said.  Biden signed the legislation Saturday at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, where he was spending the weekend.  

乔·拜登总统签署了国会刚刚通过的1.2万亿美元的一揽子支出法案，结束了政府部分关闭的威胁。白宫说，参议院周六早些时候批准了这项法案，在预算年度开始近六个月后通过。拜登星期六在特拉华州威尔明顿的家中签署了这项法案，他正在那里度周末。

The budget process was slowed by conservatives who pushed for more policy mandates and steeper spending cuts than a Democratic-led Senate or White House would countenance.  Biden says the agreement was a compromise, which means neither side got everything it wanted.  Lebanon's displaced celebrate Ramadan amid fears the border conflict might become, quote, "the new normal" .
