美国参议员米奇·麦康奈尔周日上午入院治疗Sen. Mitch McConnell Admitted to Hospital on Sunday Morning

肯塔基州共和党籍联邦参议员米奇·麦康奈尔于周日（6月14日）上午被送往医院接受治疗。他的发言人大卫·波普在当天发表的声明中证实了这一消息，并表示麦康奈尔目前正在接受“极好的照顾”。然而，该声明并未透露这位84岁的前参议院多数党领袖的具体住院原因，也没有说明他的身体状况或预后情况。

Senator Mitch McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, was admitted to the hospital on Sunday morning, June 14. His spokesperson, David Popp, confirmed the admission in a statement released on Sunday, noting that the senator is "receiving excellent care." However, the brief statement did not address the specific cause of the 84-year-old former Senate majority leader's hospitalization, nor did it provide details regarding his current medical condition or prognosis.

目前，官方尚未公开麦康奈尔是在华盛顿特区、他的家乡肯塔基州还是其他地方入院治疗，其所处的具体医院名称也未予公布。尽管外界对他的健康状况高度关注，但其办公室和发言人均未就此次入院提供更多细节，这使得这位资深立法代表的具体病情依然不明。

Additionally, official representatives have not disclosed whether the veteran lawmaker was hospitalized in Washington, D.C., his home state of Kentucky, or elsewhere, leaving the name of the specific medical facility unannounced. Despite intense public scrutiny surrounding his health, his office and spokesperson have declined to elaborate further on the circumstances of his admission.

在周日上午住院之前，现年84岁的麦康奈尔近期一直在正常履行其国会职责。就在上周，他照常参加了参议院的投票，其中包括在6月11日（周四）参加了上周的最后一轮投票。此外，在更前一周，麦康奈尔还全程参与了参议院一场漫长的通宵投票。该轮被称为“投票马拉松”（vote-a-rama）的密集表决从6月4日上午11点一直持续到6月5日凌晨5点，他在此期间均在场参与。

Prior to his hospitalization on Sunday morning, the 84-year-old senator had maintained an active schedule in the Capitol, carrying out his legislative duties without immediate signs of interruption. Last week, McConnell participated in Senate votes, including the final vote series of the week on Thursday, June 11. This followed his participation in a grueling, overnight voting session the previous week, known as a "vote-a-rama," which required his presence in the chamber from 11 a.m. on June 4 through 5 a.m. on June 5.

除了参与日常投票外，麦康奈尔在住院前几天还主持了重要的立法会议。6月9日（周二），他以参议院拨款委员会国防小组委员会主席的身份，主持了一场关于美国空军预算的听证会。这些密集的公开行程表明，尽管近年来健康状况屡受外界关注，但他在入院前夕依然保持着高度的参政活跃度。

In addition to voting, McConnell also performed committee leadership duties shortly before his admission. On Tuesday, June 9, he presided over a Senate Appropriations Defense subcommittee hearing focused on the Air Force budget. These recent public appearances and active participation in demanding legislative sessions show that he was fully engaged in his Senate work in the days leading up to his sudden hospitalization.

作为一名童年时期的小儿麻痹症幸存者，现年84岁的麦康奈尔近年来面临着一系列频繁的健康挑战。在今年2月，他曾因出现“流感样症状”自行前往医院，并住院治疗了八天。而在更早的2023年3月，他在华盛顿的一场晚宴上不慎摔倒，导致脑震荡和肋骨骨折，随后入院接受治疗。同年，他还遭遇了另外两次摔倒，并在两场公开新闻发布会上发言时突然僵住，其中一次僵住并似乎无法说话的状态持续了近30秒，引发了外界对其健康状况的广泛关注。此外，他在2019年也曾因在肯塔基州家中摔倒而导致肩膀骨折，并在2024年因另一次摔倒受了轻伤。

As a childhood polio survivor, the 84-year-old McConnell has faced a series of frequent health challenges in recent years. In February of this year, he checked himself into the hospital for "flu-like symptoms" and was hospitalized for eight days. This followed a major incident in March 2023, when he tripped at a Washington dinner event, suffering a concussion and broken ribs that required hospitalization. CNN later reported he had suffered two other falls earlier that same year. Additionally, during two separate public press conferences in 2023, McConnell froze midsentence, including one episode where he appeared unable to speak for nearly 30 seconds. His history of falls also includes a fractured shoulder from a fall at his home in 2019, as well as minor injuries sustained from another fall in 2024.

除了这些突发的住院和摔倒事件外，麦康奈尔近期的身体状况在国会大厦内也显露出更多迹象。在最近几个月里，他经常需要依靠轮椅在国会大厦内穿行，且往往需要工作人员的协助。在今年5月19日的一次委员会听证会上，媒体还注意到他的手部缠着绷带。这些频繁出现的健康状况，使得这位资深参议员的身体机能和履职状态长期处于舆论的密切关注之下。

Beyond these acute incidents, visible signs of McConnell's physical challenges have been apparent in the Capitol. In recent months, he has regularly moved about the Senate using a wheelchair, often with the assistance of his staff. Observers also noted that during a committee hearing on May 19, the senator was seen with a bandage wrapped around his hand. These recurring medical issues have kept the veteran lawmaker's physical well-being under continuous public and media scrutiny.

麦康奈尔于1984年首次当选参议员，并于2015年成为参议院多数党领袖。作为历史上任职时间最长的参议院共和党领袖，他在唐纳德·特朗普的第一任期内发挥了重要作用，尤其是协助推动了数百名联邦法官的任命。去年，麦康奈尔宣布不再寻求连任，并卸任了党内领袖职务，他目前的参议员任期将于明年1月结束。

McConnell was first elected to the Senate in 1984 and became the body's majority leader in 2015. As the longest-serving Senate Republican leader in history, he played a pivotal role in shaping President Donald Trump's first term, particularly by helping to usher through hundreds of federal judicial appointments. Last year, McConnell announced that he would not seek re-election and stepped down from his leadership post, with his final Senate term scheduled to conclude in January.

在特朗普的第二任期内，不再担任领导职务的麦康奈尔多次与总统产生意见分歧。他曾对特朗普提名的一些重要内阁人选投下反对票，其中包括卫生与公众服务部部长人选小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪。作为童年时期的小儿麻痹症幸存者，麦康奈尔当时表示，小肯尼迪“未能证明自己是领导美国卫生机构的最佳人选”。

During Trump's second term, McConnell, who no longer holds a leadership position, has frequently found himself at odds with the president. He cast votes against several of Trump's most prominent Cabinet nominees, including Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. McConnell, a childhood polio survivor, stated that Kennedy had "failed to prove he is the best possible person to lead America's health agency."
