  Senate majority leader Harry 1 Reid _1_ too long shot moves by GOP senator Ted 2 Cruz into having the senate approved without changes, the stop gap spending bill passed by the House to keep the government operating pass the end of this month. NPR's Craig Windham reports Reid says the bill is dead on a rival in the senate because it includes provision that would define the president's healthcare law.
  参议院多数党领导人哈利·里德阻止了共和党参议员泰德·克鲁兹提出的不太可能成功的举措,即让参议院无需更改就同意众议院通过的临时开支法案,以保证政府运行至本月底。据NPR新闻的克雷格·温德姆报道,里德表示,这份法案提交到参院就会死亡,因为它包括了限定总统医改法的条款。
  To keep Raid and democrats 3 from removing the _2_ provision, Cruz is likely to try to stall consideration of the House measure with the filibuster 4 and he's urging his GOP colleagues to join him.
  为了阻止里德和民主党取消撤资条款,克鲁兹很可能用冗长演讲来推迟对众议院法案的考虑,而且他呼吁共和党同僚和他一起这么做。

  “做任何我们可以做的事情来阻止多数党领导人以51票通过资助奥巴马医改法的法案,是我们选民的义务。”
  To sustain filibuster though, Cruz will need the support of at least 40 other senators. There are 46 republicans in the senate. But in number of them, _4_ senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, say they will not support the effort by Cruz and other TEA party backed conservatives to hold up the stopgap _5_ bill.
