华盛顿，7月15日（路透社）——美国参议院共和党领袖周三表示，参议院正在审议众议院通过的一项将夏令时永久化的法案，但目前尚不清楚该法案是否获得足够支持以成为法律。
参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩表示，目前尚不清楚夏令时法案能否获得参议院通过所需的60票。

“我们正在审议该法案。大家都知道众议院进行了一次高票表决。我们这边的议员们对此有很高的关注度，有人支持，也有人反对，”这位南达科他州的共和党人对记者说道。当被问及他是否会支持这项立法时，图恩回应道：“我来自北部地区，我在委员会投票中反对过它。”

众议院以308票赞成、117票反对的投票结果通过了这项法案，终结了自20世纪60年代以来全美大部分地区每年两次调整时钟的惯例。
如果该法案获得通过，时钟将不再在11月调回标准时间，但如果当前未实行夏令时，或是在法律修改前已投票选择永久标准时间的州，可以选择退出全年夏令时制度。
支持者表示，调整时钟会扰乱睡眠、增加职场事故风险并导致更多道路交通事故。他们认为，全年将时钟调快一小时可以在冬季提供更多傍晚日照，并提振经济活动。

批评者指出，这一调整意味着冬季早晨太阳会晚升起一小时，导致更多儿童、通勤者、建筑工人、农民和其他人群在天亮前前往工作场所。在部分地区，冬季最寒冷的时候太阳可能要到接近上午9点甚至更晚才会升起。
唐纳德·特朗普总统曾多次呼吁终止每年两次调整时钟的做法，并强烈支持这项法案。
该法案遭到参议员汤姆·科顿等议员的反对。科顿是阿肯色州的共和党人，他辩称永久夏令时会导致冬季日出时间极晚，迫使美国许多地区的儿童在天黑时上学。
美国曾在第二次世界大战期间实行全年夏令时，并于1974年再次推行该制度以减少能源消耗。但该政策极不受欢迎，国会于同年晚些时候废除了这一规定。

WASHINGTON, July 15 (Reuters) – The U.S. Senate is reviewing a bill passed by the House to make daylight saving time permanent but it is unclear if it has enough support to become law, the top Senate Republican said Wednesday.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said it was not clear whether the daylight saving bill could garner the 60 votes needed for passage in the chamber.

“We’re looking at it. You know the House had a big vote. There’s a lot of interest in it from members on our side over here. Some for, some against,” the South Dakota Republican told reporters. Asked whether he could support the legislation, Thune replied: “I’m from a northern clime. I voted against it in committee.”

The House of Representatives passed the measure in a 308-117 vote to end the twice-yearly practice of changing clocks observed across most of the nation since the 1960s.
If enacted, clocks would no longer return to standard time in November, although states could opt out of year-round daylight saving time if they do not currently observe it or voted to adopt permanent standard time before the law was changed.
Supporters say changing the clocks disrupts sleep, increases workplace injuries and contributes to more road accidents. They argue keeping clocks an hour ahead year-round would provide more evening daylight and boost economic activity during the winter months.

Critics note the change would mean the sun rises an hour later on winter mornings, leaving more children traveling to school and commuters, construction workers, farmers and others heading to work before daylight. In some places the sun would not rise until nearly 9 a.m. or later at the height of winter.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly called for an end to the twice-yearly clock changes and strongly supports the measure.
The bill faces opposition from Senator Tom Cotton, an Arkansas Republican, and others. Cotton has argued that permanent daylight saving time would result in very late winter sunrises and force children in many parts of the country to go to school in darkness.
The U.S. used year-round daylight saving time during World War Two and enacted it again in 1974 to reduce energy use. But it proved deeply unpopular and Congress repealed it later that year.
