4名无家可归者被冻死街头引众怒，呼吁罢免萨城市长！究竟是谁的责任？
（FOX40）Homeless advocates call for Sacramento mayor’s resignation, Steinberg responds
无家可归的倡导者呼吁萨克拉门托市长辞职
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KTXL) — The Sacramento Homeless Union is demanding Mayor Darrell Steinberg’s resignation following four homeless deaths during last week’s rain and windstorm.
萨克拉门托，加利福尼亚(KTXL)——萨克拉门托无家可归者联盟要求市长达雷尔·斯坦伯格辞职，此前有4名无家可归者在上周的暴雨和风暴中死亡。
The calls are punctuated by the city not opening emergency warming shelters on the storm’s most severe night, including the downtown library that had sheltered homeless just the night before.
在风暴最严重的夜晚，市政府没有开放紧急取暖避难所，包括市中心的图书馆，而就在前一天晚上，它还为无家可归的人提供了避难所。
“He should have immediately opened every building. We knew the storm was coming, winds of 60 mph. He did not use his authority as mayor to protect 11,000 people on the streets of Sacramento,” Crystal Sanchez, the President of Sacramento Homeless Union, told FOX40 Sunday. “Last year, we lost 138 people. How many more people do we need to lose?”
“他应该立即开放所有避难所。我们知道风暴即将来临，风速为每小时60英里。他没有利用他作为市长的权威来保护萨克拉门托街头的11000名民众。”萨克拉门托无家可归者联盟总统的克里斯托尔·桑切斯周日告诉FOX40，“去年，我们失去了138人。我们还需要失去多少人?”
“Of course, a warming shelter should’ve been open on Tuesday night. I made the request,” Steinberg said.
“当然，一个温暖的避难所应该在周二晚上开放。 我提出了这个要求，“斯坦伯格说。
But he said the policy in place, involved an “artificial temperature criteria.”
但他表示，现行政策涉及“人为温度标准”。
The temperature was not forecast to hit the 32-degree threshold that triggers the opening of a city warming center.
据预测，气温不会达到32度的临界值，而32度的临界值会触发城市变暖中心的开放。
“All night long, I received calls from people terrified, as they were left to die on the streets and rivers of the state and in this county and city,” Sanchez said.
桑切斯说:“整个晚上，我都接到惊恐万分的人们打来的电话，他们被丢弃在这个州、这个县和这个城市的街道上和河流上死去。”
The next day, the council declared a weather emergency and opened the downtown warming center despite not hitting 32 degrees.
第二天，委员会宣布进入天气紧急状态，并开放了市中心的升温中心，尽管温度没有达到32度。
“I am doing my very best. I always have,” Steinberg said.
“我已经尽力了。我一直如此，”斯坦伯格说。
The mayor said he’s brought more resources to Sacramento to bring those experiencing homelessness indoors.
市长表示，他已经向萨克拉门托提供了更多资源，帮助那些无家可归的人回到家中。
“The issue of alleviating the intolerable issues for people who are unsheltered and homeless has been part of my core, not just for weeks or months or years. But for decades,” Steinberg said. “I know I must do more. We all must do more. Because in the end, the people are right to hold any of us accountable.”
“减轻无家可归者无法忍受的问题是我的核心问题，而不仅仅是几个星期、几个月或几年。 但几十年来，“斯坦伯格说。 “我知道我必须做得更多。 我们都必须做得更多。 因为最终，人民有权追究我们任何人的责任。”
The city also opened a parking garage downtown for those experiencing homelessness to safely sleep in their cars, with security guards and access to a bathroom.
该市还在市中心开设了一个停车场，让无家可归的人可以安全地睡在自己的车里，有保安，还可以上厕所。
“Every journey starts with a step. And bringing people indoors is not the end. But it’s the necessary step in many cases, to help get people permanently out of the condition of homelessness into more permanent housing,” Steinberg said.
“千里之行始于足下。”把人们带到室内并不是结束。但在许多情况下，这是必要的一步，帮助人们永远摆脱无家可归的处境，进入更永久的住房。”斯坦伯格说。
He vows to open warming centers every night at least until the end of the winter.
他发誓，至少到冬天结束之前，每天晚上都要开设取暖中心。
“We’re not shutting down,” Steinberg said.
“我们不会关闭，”斯坦伯格说。
“I know that they’re putting in efforts, but this is a little late,” Sanchez said.
“我知道他们正在努力，但这有点晚了，”桑切斯说。
