The White House says that US President Barack Obama will hold another round of talks with Senate Democratic leaders on Wednesday to discuss raising the US debt ceiling.
白宫表示，美国总统巴拉克•奥巴马将在星期三和国会参议院的民主党领袖们举行另一轮的会谈，讨论提高美国债务上限的问题。
Following the first round of stalled debt talks, which were led by Vice President Joe Biden, the president now must forge a budget deal that would pave the way for the country's borrowing limit to be raised by an August 2 deadline.
由美国副总统乔•拜登主持的第一轮债务谈判停止之后，总统现在必须制定一个可以为国家在8月2日的期限之前提高借款限额铺平道路的预算方案。
Otherwise, he will risk the country defaulting on its financial obligations with disastrous consequences for the economy.
否则，他将使国家面临债务违约的危险，给国家带来灾难性的后果。
