"I’m just about to pass through security and officially walk into the Trump Gala. Honestly… I’m fired up," Odom said in an X post.

奥多姆在X帖子中说：“我正要通过安全，正式走进特朗普晚会。老实说……我被解雇了。”

"Think about it—what meme coin has ever done this? $ODOM isn’t just a token, it’s taking the stage at a presidential gala tonight!"

“考虑一下 - 梅米硬币曾经做过的事情？

(On the menu: seared scallops, filet mignon and chocolate cake.)

（在菜单上：烤扇贝，菲力牛排和巧克力蛋糕。）

Odom also said in the post, "This is the most authentic soulful experience in crypto history."

奥多姆还在帖子中说：“这是加密历史上最真实的深情经历。”

Among those protesting outside the golf club was Sen. Jeff Merkley, a Democrat from Oregon.

在高尔夫俱乐部外抗议的人中，来自俄勒冈州的民主党人杰夫·默克利（Jeff Merkley）参议员。

"This is the crypto corruption club," the Times quoted Merkley as saying. "This is like the Mount Everest of corruption."

《泰晤士报》援引默克利的话说：“这是加密腐败俱乐部。” “这就像腐败的珠穆朗玛峰。”

The senator said he was protesting Trump’s involvement in a meme coin shortly after the president announced in December that he was running for president again.

这位参议员说，他正在抗议特朗普在12月宣布他再次竞选总统后不久之后不久，他参与了模因硬币。

Three days before Trump took office on Jan. 20, he announced the creation of the $TRUMP meme coin, describing it as a way for his supporters to "have fun."

特朗普于1月20日上任前三天，他宣布创建了$ trump Meme Coin，将其描述为他的支持者“玩得开心”的一种方式。

Trump’s meme coin saw an initial spike in value, followed by a steep drop. Its creators, which include an entity controlled by the Trump Organization, have made hundreds of millions of dollars by collecting fees on trades, according to the Associated Press.

特朗普的模因硬币的价值最初是有价值的，随后是陡峭的下降。据美联社报道，它的创建者包括由特朗普组织控制的实体，通过收取交易费用赚了数亿美元。

After Trump announced his latest bid for the presidency, Merkley and Sen. Tim Kane, a Democrat from Massachusetts, introduced an amendment to a bill that would prevent the president from investing in any cryptocurrency.

在特朗普宣布最新出价后，来自马萨诸塞州的民主党人默克利和参议员蒂姆·凯恩（Tim Kane）提出了一项法案的修正案，该法案将阻止总统投资任何加密货币。

The amendment, which was ultimately not included in the bill, was part of a broader effort by some lawmakers to increase oversight of the cryptocurrency industry.

该修正案最终未包含在该法案中，是一些议员们在增加对加密货币行业的监督方面更广泛努力的一部分。

The senators argued that the president’s connection with cryptocurrency ventures could open the door to conflicts of interest and influence peddling.

参议员辩称，总统与加密货币的联系可能打开利益冲突并影响兜售的大门。

They also expressed concerns about the potential for meme coins to be used for scams and fraud.

他们还对模因硬币用于骗局和欺诈的潜力表示担忧。

"We're not surprised that President Trump is hosting a lavish party for cryptocurrency investors at his golf course," a spokesperson for the senators said in a statement.

参议员的发言人在一份声明中说：“我们并不感到惊讶的是，特朗普总统在他的高尔夫球场上为加密货币投资者举办了一个豪华的政党。”

"But we are surprised that any elected official would want to stand with an administration that is actively trying to corrupt our democracy for personal gain."

“但是，我们感到惊讶的是，任何当选官员都希望与一个积极试图腐败我们的民主以谋取个人利益的政府站立。”

Odom played 14 seasons in the NBA, 12 of them with the Los Angeles Clippers and Lakers. He won back-to-back titles with the Lakers in 2009 and 2010 and was named the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year in the 2010-11 campaign.

奥多姆在NBA效力了14个赛季，其中12个赛季与洛杉矶快船队和湖人队一起比赛。他在2009年和2010年与湖人队赢得了背对背的冠军，并在2010 - 11年度竞选中被评为NBA年度最佳第六人。
