听写
The vote was 229 to 191, a surprising blow to House Democratic leaders who pushed hard for another extension of the Protect America Act, which is itself a revision of a 1968 1978 law called the / Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Acts, or FISA/. In passing it, s version of intelligent intelligence surveillance legislation on Tuesday the US Senate voting 78 68 to 29 included a provision president Bush and Republicans have been seeking. It will would provide immunity for from prosecution to tell telecommunications companies that give gave the US government information without a court warrant after the Sep.11, 2001terrorist attacks. Congressional Democrats fought against that,setting citing pending lawsuits against the companies, and asserting that the normal legal process should be allowed to run its course. After a series of procedural delaying tech expiretactics by Republicans Wednesday, the House finally got down to debating the Democrat’s’ bill to extend the existing law pass past its February 16 deprivation expiration date, which would have been a the second extension of approved for it. House / Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers said law makers should not be “stand stampeded”pleaded into approving permanent legislation now, saying more time is required to examine documents among other things. 生词

对于极力推进美国保护法案另一扩展法案的众议院民主党领导人来说，229对191的投票结果令人吃惊。美国保护法案是1978年的FISA法的修订稿。在星期二这一情报管制法案的投票中，美国参议院已68对29票通过该法案，其中包括布什和共和党所寻求的供应物资。它包括为在911后不经法庭授权而为美国政府提供情报而受到起诉的通信公司提供豁免权。议会民主党人引申审理中的案件进行反对，并主张应该经过正常法律程序。星期三，在一系列共和党的程序性拖延策略之后，众议院最终着手讨论民主党的提案，以延续2月16日即将到期的现有法律，从而成为第二个扩大案。众议院法院委员会主席JC说立法者现在在通过永久法律问题上不应一拥而上，而应该从各种文件中多花时间进行检验。
