司法部呼吁旧金山停止限制宗教场所！
The U.S. Department of Justice asked San Francisco on Friday to end its one-congregant rule at places of worship during the coronavirus pandemic, warning the policy could violate the U.S. Constitution.
美国司法部(Department of Justice)周五要求旧金山终止冠状病毒大流行期间在礼拜场所只允许一名会众做礼拜的规定，并警告称这一政策可能违反美国宪法。
In a letter to Mayor London Breed, the DOJ said the rule of allowing only one worshipper inside religious centers while multiple patrons can go into gyms and personal care businesses infringes on the First Amendment right to exercise religion and discriminates against people of faith.
在致市长London Breed的信中，司法部表示，只允许一名礼拜者进入宗教中心，而多人可以进入健身房和个人护理店的规定，侵犯了美国宪法第一修正案规定的行使宗教信仰的权利，并歧视有宗教信仰的人。
“No government in this free country can attack religion by transforming a house of worship arbitrarily into a place for solitary confinement," wrote Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband in the letter. “There is no pandemic exception to the United States Constitution and its Bill of Rights.”
“在这个自由的国家，任何政府都不能随意将一个礼拜场所变成单独监禁的场所，从而攻击宗教，”助理司法部长埃里克·德雷伯德在信中写道。“在美国宪法及其权利法案中，流行病没有例外。”
City Attorney Dennis Herrera said rules for religious gatherings both indoors and out could change in a few days.
市律师丹尼斯·埃雷拉说，对室内和室外宗教集会的规定可能会在几天内改变。
The letter is the latest example of the Trump administration butting heads with California and the nation's Democratic-run cities.
这封信是特朗普政府与加州和民主党控制的美国城市发生冲突的最新例子。
Dreiband was selected by Attorney General William P. Barr in April to ensure that civil liberties are protected during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the Justice Department. He now heads the department's civil rights division.
据美国司法部说，今年4月，司法部长威廉·巴尔(William P. Barr)选择德雷邦德，以确保在Covid-19大流行期间公民自由得到保护。他现在是该部门民权部门的负责人。
Shortly after Dreiband's appointment, he sent a letter to California Gov. Gavin Newsom expressing concerns about how soon churches would be allowed to resume in-person services in the state.
在Dreiband被任命后不久，他给加州州长加文·纽森(Gavin Newsom)写了一封信，表达了他对教会何时才能恢复在加州的现场服务的担忧。
The May letter took issue with California's plans at the time to allow the resumption of in-person religious services, which was scheduled to start after manufacturing and offices were allowed to reopen. It also said California's stay-at-home order did not treat religious activities and nonreligious activities equally.
5月的这封信对当时加州允许恢复个人宗教服务的计划提出了异议，该计划原计划在工厂和办公室获准重新开业后才开始。它还说，加州的禁止外出的命令没有平等对待宗教活动和非宗教活动。
San Francisco has been gradually reopening businesses in accordance with Newsom's new tiered system, which was unveiled in late August and sets guidelines for how and when to loosen restrictions for individuals and businesses. The four tiers are based on the risk of transmission and are applied evenly to the state's 58 counties.
根据纽森8月底推出的分层系统，旧金山已经逐步重新开放了企业。该系统为如何以及何时放松对个人和企业的限制制定了指导方针。
San Francisco allowed nail and hair salons, tattoo parlors and gyms to reopen earlier this month with limited capacity. Places of worship were also allowed to resume operations but with only one congregant inside at a time. Up to 50 people are allowed to worship together outside, according to the city's department of health.
本月早些时候，旧金山在容量有限的情况下重新开放了美甲和发廊、纹身店和健身房。礼拜场所也被允许恢复运作，但每次只能有一名会众进入。据该市卫生部称，最多可以有50人在外面一起做礼拜。
A request for comment from Breed's office was referred to Herrera, who said in an emailed statement that the rules were already scheduled to change and expand in a few days.
Breed办公室向埃雷拉提出了置评请求，埃雷拉在一份电子邮件声明中说，规定已经安排在几天内改变和扩大。
"San Francisco is opening up at the speed of safety," he said. "This expansion is beyond what is described in the federal government’s letter. It's consistent with San Francisco’s careful approach and follows closely behind what the State of California allows."
“旧金山正在以安全的速度开放，”他说。这种扩张超出了**信函中所描述的范围。这与旧金山的谨慎做法是一致的，也紧跟在加利福尼亚州允许的范围之内。”
Herrera pointed to San Francisco's low Covid-19 death rate and said the city "must be doing something right."
Herrera指出，旧金山Covid-19的死亡率很低，该市“必须采取正确的措施”。
"Meanwhile, more than 200,000 Americans are dead from this virus," he said. "Maybe the federal government should focus on an actual pandemic response instead of lobbing careless legal threats."
他说:“与此同时，有20多万美国人死于这种病毒。”“也许**应该把重点放在实际的流行病应对上，而不是漫不经心地施加法律威胁。”
San Francisco had nearly 11,000 confirmed coronavirus cases and 99 deaths as of Thursday, according to the California health department. California has more than 801,000 cases and 15,402 deaths, according to NBC News counts.
加州卫生部(California health department)的数据显示，截至周四，旧金山已确诊近1.1万例冠状病毒感染病例，其中99人死亡。根据NBC新闻的统计，加州有超过801000个病例，15402人死亡。
