WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday handed a loss to President Donald Trump by refusing to hear his attempt to overturn a jury's finding that he sexually abused and later defamed writer E. Jean Carroll.
华盛顿 —— 最高法院周一驳回了唐纳德·特朗普总统试图推翻陪审团认定他性虐待并随后诽谤作家E·Jean·卡罗尔的尝试，这对特朗普来说是个败诉。
The justices turned away Trump's appeal in the case, meaning that the 2023 jury verdict and a $5 million civil judgment remain in place.
最高法院驳回了特朗普在该案中的上诉，这意味着2023年的陪审团裁决以及500万美元的民事判决继续有效。
The case arose from a federal lawsuit filed by Carroll in Manhattan alleging that Trump assaulted her in the dressing room of a department store in 1996. The defamation claims relate to statements he made about her after his first term in office, in which he described her claims as a "con job" and "hoax."
该案源于卡罗尔在曼哈顿提起的一项联邦诉讼，指控特朗普于1996年在一家百货公司的更衣室对她施暴。诽谤诉讼涉及他卸任第一任总统后对她发表的言论，他曾称她的指控是“骗局”和“恶作剧”。
Trump blasted the high court’s ruling in a post on social media and vowed to keep fighting the case “with all of my power and strength,” despite the judges seeming to shut the door on the verdict.
尽管法官们似乎已经关闭了推翻裁决的大门，但特朗普仍在社交媒体上发帖猛烈抨击最高法院的裁决，并誓言将“倾尽全力”继续与此案抗争。
The president referred to Carroll as a “woman I never met (Decades old celebrity photo line, standing with her husband, does not count!),” he wrote Monday, referring to a picture that emerged of him and Carroll after he first said he’d never met her. Trump’s insistence he’d never met her was a part of her defamation case, and a jury sided with Carroll.
他周一写道，他称卡罗尔为“我从未见过的女人（几十年前的名人合影，和她丈夫站在一起，不算！）”，指的是一张他在声称从未见过她之后，两人同框的照片浮出水面的情况。他坚称从未见过她，这是她诽谤案的一部分，而陪审团站在了卡罗尔一边。
“This Case is really against the United States of America, and all it stands for, and should never be allowed to happen to another President, or Candidate to be!,” he said. He added, “this Injustice cannot be allowed to stand!”
他说：“这个案件实际上是针对美利坚合众国及其所代表的一切的，绝不应该让任何一位总统或总统候选人遭遇如此！”他补充道：“绝不能让这种不公正的事情继续存在！”
