A day after Congress voted on a measure to reopen the government which did not include DACA,
国会已对政府重新开张的协议展开投票，但并不包括“追梦人”计划，
activists and DACA recipients gathered outside the Capitol between meetings with their Senators and Representatives to demand protections.
而就在一天后，大量活动人士和“追梦人”与参众议员会面，期间大量民众在国会大厦外要求政府保护。
Some of them, last week, just last week, made a lot of promises about standing with Dreamers
他们中的一些人，就在上周刚刚作出了很多与“追梦人”站在一起的承诺，
and that they were not gonna back down and then on Monday, we got this heartbreaking vote.
说他们不会让步，然后在星期一，我们得知了这个让人心碎的投票结果。
Many DACA recipients, some of whom have been lobbying lawmakers and protesting for months are now less optimistic.
几个月以来，许多受保护民众一直在游说立法人士，表示抗议，而现在他们也变得不那么乐观了。
I want to be optimistic. I want to believe the promises, but I've been up here a couple of times now, with different organizations from different angles,
我想要乐观，我想要相信承诺，但我已经在这里好几次了，和不同的组织，从不同的角度，
actually making appointments with Congressmen and meeting with them and telling them our stories and we keep on hearing the same thing.
实际上也与国会议员约见了，与他们会面，并告诉他们我们的故事，但每次答案都是一样的。
We're gonna work on it. We're gonna work on it and we haven't seen that work.
我们还在努力，我们还在努力，但我们还没有见到成效。

Like many Dreamers, she wants lawmakers to pass a clean Dream Act which would allow DACA recipients to stay permanently in the country.
像许多“追梦人”一样，她希望国会通过一项纯粹的“追梦人”法案，允许他们永远留在美国。
It's a matter of urgency, they say, because many are losing their status.
他们说这个问题很紧急，因为许多人正在失去他们的地位。
It's a very heartbreaking time and we are in very kind of like a time of emergency
这是一个令人心碎的时刻，我们正处在一个非常紧急的时刻，
and that's why we are acting so hard and why we're pushing our leaders so hard to pass something because the more we wait, the more people get deported.
这就是为什么我们如此坚定，为什么要一再促使领导人促成法案，因为我们等待的时间越长，被驱逐的人就越多。
Congress now has until February 8th to agree on a long-term spending bill, which many lawmakers have promised will include protections for Dreamers.
目前，国会要在2月8日前通过长期开支法案，许多立法人士承诺将包括对“追梦人”的保护。
