倡导者希望在2030年为《常识》作者托马斯·潘恩设立纪念碑，等待最终批准。 Advocates seek a 2030 D.C. memorial for Thomas Paine, author of "Common Sense," pending final approval.

在托马斯·培恩(Thomas Paine)的“Common Sense ” ( Commons Sense)250周年之际, 鼓吹者们在国家首都纪念咨询委员会(National Capital Memental咨询委员会)于2024年建议将纪念碑登上国家购物中心(National Mall)后, 推动在华盛顿特区(Dashington, D.C.)建造一座久拖不决的纪念碑。 On the 250th anniversary of Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense,” advocates are pushing for a long-delayed memorial in Washington, D.C., following a 2024 recommendation by the National Capital Memorial Advisory Commission to place it on the National Mall. 该项目由2022年的一项法律授权,正等待内政部长Doug Burgum最后批准,如获批准,2030年完工期限为2030年。 The project, authorized by a 2022 law, awaits final approval from Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, with a 2030 completion deadline if endorsed. Paine是一位自我教育的移民,其著作帮助激发了美国的独立,由于他后来对有组织宗教的批评,他仍然是一个两极分化的数字。 Paine, a self-educated immigrant whose writings helped inspire American independence, remains a polarizing figure due to his later criticism of organized religion. 尽管有两党支持和国会先前的授权,但过去的努力因筹资和势头而停滞不前。 Despite bipartisan support and prior congressional mandates, past efforts stalled over funding and momentum. 由私人出资的纪念碑将纪念培恩对美国理想的持久影响,尽管他的遗产继续引发辩论。 The memorial, to be funded privately, would honor Paine’s enduring influence on American ideals, though his legacy continues to spark debate.
