Texas Border Mayors Attack Planned Fence
【我的听写】
Mayors and city councils all along the real grand river, which forms the border with Mexico, are banding together in an effort to stop construction of the fence. P A Junior, the mayor of B , Texas, just across the real grand river from M, Mexico, says he will deny federal surveyors access to city land to plot locations for the fence. He also filed suit on behalf of the city to stop construction of the fence. L Mayor R S has called the planned fence a wall of shame, a eagle pass mayor C Foster continues to oppose the fence even though he says he has received hate mail. The mayors have found support from environmental groups who argue that the fence would disrupt the natural migration of wildlife in the real grand river valley. Most business leaders in border towns also oppose the plan, saying it would create bad feelings with Mexico, a country on which they rely for most of their commerce.
【我的总结与翻译】
总结：migration
Mayors and city councils all along the (Rio) Grand river, which forms the border with Mexico, are banding together in an effort to stop construction of the fence.
格兰德河是美国与墨西哥之间的边界，目前沿岸各城市的市长及议会成员聚集在一起试图停止（两国边界）围墙的建造。
(Patricio Ahumade) Junior, the mayor of (Brownsville), Texas, just across the (Rio) Grand river from (Matamoros), Mexico, says he will deny federal surveyors access to city land to plot locations for the fence. He (has) also filed suit on behalf of the city to stop construction of the fence. (Laredo Mayor Raul Salinas) has called the planned fence a wall of shame, a Eagle Pass Mayor (Chad) Foster continues to oppose the fence even though he says he has received hate mail.
德克萨斯Brownsville市市长Patricio Ahumade Junior刚刚跨过格兰德河从墨西哥马塔莫罗斯市回国，他表示他反对联邦调查员为该围墙标示位置而进入该地区。他代表该市人民要求停止围墙的建造。美国拉雷多市市长Raul Salinas也称该计划建筑的围墙是耻辱之墙；Eagle Pass市市长Chad Foster也表示，即使他已收到了恐吓邮件，但他还将继续反对该围墙的建筑。
The mayors have found support from environmental groups who argue that the fence would disrupt the natural migration of wildlife in the (Rio) Grand river valley. Most business leaders in border towns also oppose the plan, saying it would create bad feelings with Mexico, a country on which they rely for most of their commerce.
市长们的行为得到了环保组织的支持，这些组织一直认为此围墙的建造会影响格兰德河河谷野生动物的自然迁徙。各边界城镇的大部分商界领导人对此计划也持反对意见，他们认为这会导致美国与墨西哥之间产生不好的影响，因为该国是美国主要的贸易合作伙伴。
