Rivkin joined the MPA in 2017 after the organization failed five years earlier to build consensus between Hollywood and Silicon Valley to win passage of legislation in Congress aimed at stopping online piracy.

里夫金于2017年加入美国电影协会，在此五年前，该组织未能在好莱坞和硅谷之间达成共识，以推动国会通过旨在制止网络盗版的立法。

As an effective Washington operator, Hayden sensed that he could capitalize on the expedition’s stunning visuals. He asked Jackson to print out large copies and distributed them, along with reproductions of Moran’s paintings, to each member of Congress. “The visualization, particularly those photographs, really hit home that this is something that has to be protected,” says Murphy.

作为一名在华盛顿很有手腕的人物，海登意识到他可以利用这次考察所获得的震撼影像。他让杰克逊冲印出大幅照片，并将这些照片连同莫兰画作的复制品一起分发给每一位国会议员。“这些视觉呈现，特别是那些照片，真正让人深刻认识到这是必须加以保护的东西，”墨菲说。

The bill proved largely popular and sailed through Congress with large majorities in favor. In quick succession, the Senate and House passed legislation protecting Yellowstone in early 1872. That March, President Ulysses S. Grant signed an act into law that established Yellowstone as the world’s first national park. While some locals opposed to the designation, the decision was largely accepted — and Jackson’s photos played a key role in the fight to protect the area. “I don’t believe that the legal protection would have happened in the timeframe that it did without those images,” says Heather Hansen, journalist and author of Prophets and Moguls, Rangers and Rogues, Bison and Bears: 100 Years of the National Park Service.

事实证明，该法案广受欢迎，以压倒性多数顺利在国会通过。1872年初，参众两院相继迅速通过了保护黄石的立法。当年3月，尤利西斯·S·格兰特总统签署了一项法案，使其成为法律，从而将黄石确立为世界上第一个国家公园。尽管一些当地人反对这一认定，但这一决定在很大程度上被接受了——杰克逊的照片在保护该地区的斗争中发挥了关键作用。“我认为，如果没有那些图像，法律保护不会在那样的时间内实现，”记者希瑟·汉森说，她是《先知与大亨、护林员与无赖、野牛与熊：国家公园管理局100年》一书的作者。

Congress allocates only $3 billion a year to the national park system — an amount that has been flat since 2001 (in inflation-adjusted dollars) with the exception of a onetime boost in 2009 as part of the Obama stimulus package.

国会每年只给国家公园系统拨款30亿美元——这一数额（按经通胀调整后的美元计算）自2001年以来一直持平，只有2009年作为奥巴马经济刺激计划的一部分曾有过一次性增加。

But Judge Patricia Millett rightly argued in a concurring opinion that “the result is unhinged from the realities of modern broadband service,” and said Congress or the Supreme Court could intervene to “avoid trapping Internet regulation in technological anachronism.”

但法官帕特里夏·米利特在一份协同意见书中正确地指出，“这一结果脱离了现代宽带服务的现实”，并表示国会或最高法院可以介入，“以避免让互联网监管困于技术上的时代错位之中”。

The endless legal battles and back-and-forth at the FCC cry out for Congress to act.

无休止的法律斗争和FCC的反复摇摆迫切需要国会采取行动。
