S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has been removed from his job in a historic vote.
美国众议院议长凯文·麦卡锡在一次历史性的投票中被免职。

According to the CCTV news client, on October 3rd local time, the US House of Representatives voted on a motion to dismiss Republican Speaker McCarthy. The motion was ultimately passed with 216 votes in favor and 210 votes against, marking McCarthy as the first Speaker of the House to be voted out in US history.
据央视新闻客户端消息,当地时间10月3日,美国众议院就罢免共和党籍众议长麦卡锡的动议进行表决,最终以216票赞成、210票反对的投票结果通过罢免麦卡锡的动议,这也标志着麦卡锡成为美国历史上首位被投票罢免的众议院议长。

On September 30th, the US Congress passed a temporary funding bill about an hour before the federal government agencies were suspended, but the bill did not include provisions such as significant cuts in federal spending and strengthened border controls previously demanded by Republican conservatives in the House of Representatives. Republican Federal Representative Matt Gates proposed a motion to remove Republican Speaker McCarthy in the House of Representatives on October 2nd.
美国国会9月30日在联邦政府机构“停摆”前大约1小时通过一项临时拨款法案,但法案中没有包括众院共和党保守派此前要求的大幅削减联邦开支、加强边境管控等条款。共和党籍联邦众议员马特·盖兹10月2日在众议院提出撤换动议,以罢免共和党籍众议长麦卡锡。

On the evening of October 3rd local time, former US House Speaker McCarthy held a press conference and stated that he would no longer run for re-election as House Speaker.
当地时间10月3日晚,美国前众议长麦卡锡召开记者会表示,将不再竞选连任众议长。

Republican Federal Representative Patrick McHenry from North Carolina was immediately appointed as interim Speaker of the House of Representatives after the resolution was passed.
来自北卡罗来纳州的共和党籍联邦众议员帕特里克·麦克亨利在决议通过后立即被任命为众议院临时议长。

According to previous news from Xinhua News Agency, Republican Federal Representative Matt Gates proposed a removal motion in the House of Representatives on the evening of the 2nd, attempting to dismiss Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
据新华社此前消息,美国共和党籍联邦众议员马特·盖茨2日晚在众议院提出撤换动议,试图罢免共和党籍众议长凯文·麦卡锡。

Gates, from Florida, is a member of the hardline group of House Republican lawmakers and has always been critical of McCarthy. Gates stated in an interview with multiple US media on the 1st that he will propose a "removal motion" to dismiss McCarthy in the House of Representatives within the next week. He accused McCarthy of "blatantly" violating the conditions agreed upon with extreme conservatives in the party when he was elected as Speaker at the beginning of the year.
盖茨来自佛罗里达州,是众议院共和党议员强硬派团体的一员,对麦卡锡一直持批评立场。盖茨1日接受多家美国媒体采访时表示,他将在未来一周内在众议院提出罢免麦卡锡的“撤换动议”。他指责麦卡锡“明目张胆”违背年初当选议长时与党内极端保守派谈妥的条件。

On September 30th, the US Congress passed a temporary funding bill to temporarily avoid another "shutdown" of the federal government, but it triggered a "civil war" among the Republicans. The extreme conservatives within the Republican Party have previously been pressuring McCarthy to significantly reduce federal spending and strengthen border controls. They previously stated that they would not accept any temporary funding bills and that Congress must negotiate all 12 funding plans, even threatening to step down McCarthy once the temporary funding bill is passed.
美国国会9月30日通过临时拨款法案,暂时避免联邦政府又一次“关门”,却引发共和党“内战”。共和党内极端保守派先前一直向麦卡锡施压,要求大幅削减联邦开支、加强边境管控。他们先前表示,不接受任何临时拨款法案,国会必须谈拢全部12项拨款计划,甚至威胁一旦临时拨款法案获通过就让麦卡锡下台。

In January of this year, after 5 days and a total of 15 rounds of voting, McCarthy reached a compromise with the extreme conservatives in the party and was elected as the Speaker. One of the compromise elements was McCarthy's agreement to lower the threshold for a "removal motion" to be proposed by a single member of the House of Representatives, rather than the previous requirement of obtaining the support of a majority of members from one party.
今年1月,历经5天共计15轮表决,麦卡锡才与党内极端保守派达成妥协,得以当选议长。妥协内容之一,就是麦卡锡同意把“撤换动议”的门槛降至由一名众议员提出即可,而非先前规定的需要获得一党中多数议员支持。

According to media analysis here, the House of Representatives is expected to process Gates' motion within two legislative working days, but it may also delay processing the motion through some mechanism.
据此间媒体分析,众议院要在两个立法工作日内处理盖茨的动议,但也可能会先通过某种机制推迟处理该动议。

According to public information, McCarthy is 57 years old and comes from California. He has been serving as a member of the United States Congress since 2007 and has been serving as a minority leader in the House of Representatives for the past four years.
公开信息显示,麦卡锡现年57岁,来自加利福尼亚州,从2007年开始担任美国国会众议员,过去4年,担任众议院少数党领袖。
