_____________________________ Federal workers who have been furloughed during the government shutdown could be looking at some relief. The Republican-led US House of Representative Saturday afternoon unanimously passed a bill guaranteeing that all federal workers laid off during the government shutdown, up to 800,000 people, will eventually be paid the wages they would've earned if there were no mass furloughs. A partial US government shutdown now is near its sixth day. Congressional Democrats and Republicans differed in resolving the fiscal impacts and each side appears to believe that standing firm will cause the other to relent, thereby propagating the standoff. VOA's Michael Bowman reports from Washington. _______________________ 在政府关门期间休假的联邦员工有望获得一些救济.共和党主导的美国众议院在周六下午全体一致地通过了一项法案,确保所有在政府关门期间暂时休假的联邦员工最终将会得到假如没有大休假时所能挣得的工资,这些员工总达80万人.部分美国政府部门停摆现已接近第6天.国会民主和共和两党在解决财政冲击方面存在分歧,而两边似乎都认为坚定立场将能促使对方软化,因而僵局持续.美国之音迈克尔?鲍曼发自华盛顿的报道.
