以下段落是摘自新聞里的一些重要信息,并不是一個段落的聽寫?？諆?nèi)信息可在本新聞中全部找到,大家可以根據(jù)這些信息復(fù)述新聞。

一、泛聽建議：

2、繼續(xù)聽，特別注意關(guān)鍵信息。遇到相似的詞，寫下來。

Tremendous progress according to the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, though he says he and his GOP counterpart in the Senate aren't there yet. The comments on the Senate floor,_1_ as Democratic and Republican senators _2_ on a fiscal deal would extend the US borrowing authority and reopen the government. NPR's Ailsa Chang has more.

據(jù)參議院多數(shù)黨領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人哈利·里德表示，目前取得了巨大的進展，雖然他和參議院共和黨領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人還未完成協(xié)議。參議院有消息稱，民主黨和共和黨參議員正在合作的財政協(xié)議，將延長美國借款授權(quán)，重開政府。NPR新聞的艾爾薩·張將帶來詳細報道。

Neither leader _3_ specifically on the deal just yet. It's still taking shape and the details seem to _4_. There seems to be multiple proposals, but the talk still seems to be focusing on at least reopening the government through either the end of this year or into early next year, and _5_ the debt ceiling into the early part of 2014.

兩位領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人都沒有具體說明進展。目前協(xié)議剛具雛形，具體細節(jié)可能還會更改。目前似乎有多項提案，但是談話仍聚焦在至少使政府重開并運營至今年年底或明年年初，并將債務(wù)上限延期至2014年年初。

NPR's Ailsa Chang, Senate leaders are set to meet again tomorrow. Meeting at the White House earlier today was postponed amid signs of progress between the respective sides.

據(jù)NPR新聞的艾爾薩·張報道，參議院領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人定于明天再次會面。由于兩黨之間有取得進展的跡象，今天早些時候的白宮會議被推遲。
