The reduction reflects worries that the current benefits discourage workers from returning to work, since an estimated two thirds of recipients are getting more from unemployment than they did working.
减少反映了人们对当前福利的担忧，阻碍了工人重返工作岗位，因为据估计，三分之二的领取失业者的失业率要高于他们的工作水平。
Mr McConnell said Republicans "want to continue" the unemployment supplement, which expires this week. "But we have to do it in a way that does not slow down reopening."
麦康奈尔表示，共和党人“希望继续”失业补助金，本周到期。 “但是我们必须以不减慢重新开放的速度来做到这一点。”
As well as money for direct payments to families and to help schools, Republicans said they want to put in place legislation to shield businesses from workers' coronavirus health claims.What else do Democrats want?

"This is a serious, serious crisis," Mr Schumer said. "We're running out of time."
舒默说：“这是一场严重的危机。” “我们快没时间了。”
He said the Republican plan amounted to a "30% pay cut" at a time when most workers do not have jobs to return to and switching to a new system will be near "impossible" for states to execute. He pointed to problems that have plagued the programme so far.
他说，共和党的计划相当于“削减30％的工资”，而此时大多数工人都没有工作要返回，而转向新系统对于各州执行几乎是“不可能”的。他指出了迄今为止困扰该计划的问题。
"It will delay benefits for weeks, if not months, as we slide into a greater degree of recession," he said.

"What we will not support is what they're saying to essential workers: 'You have to go to work because you're essential, we place no responsibility on your employer to make that workplace safe and if you get sick you have no recourse because we've given your employer protection,'" Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, the top Democrat in the House of Representatives, said in a recent television interview.What happens now?
“我们不会支持他们对基本工人的口号：'您必须去上班，因为您很重要，我们对您的雇主不负任何责任，以确保工作场所的安全，如果您生病了，您将无权求助。因为我们已经为您的雇主提供了保护，”“女众议院最高民主党议员南希·佩洛西（Nancy Pelosi）在最近的电视采访中说。现在发生了什么？
Some Republicans had proposed fast-tracking some pieces of the legislation - an idea rejected by Democrats, who see that strategy as an effort to avoid including their priorities.
一些共和党人提出了对部分立法进行快速跟踪的提议，这一想法遭到民主党人的拒绝，民主党人将该战略视为避免包括其优先事项的努力。
