Nearly 200 entertainers and influential executives from the music industry signed a letter to Congress urging lawmakers to take action on gun control legislation in the wake of two Orlando shooting tragedies.

奥兰多接连发生两起枪杀悲剧，音乐界近两百名艺人和有影响力的管理者向国会递交了一封联名信，要求立法者马上采取行动，立法管制枪支。

The letter, released Thursday by Billboard magazine, features signatures from Katy Perry, Paul McCartney, Lin-Manuel Miranda, DJ Khaled, Cher, Kesha and others. It comes after a mass shooting at an Orlando gay nightclub that left 49 dead and 53 others wounded and the unrelated murder of singer Christina Grimmie after a concert in Orlando.

《公告牌》杂志周四曝光了这封信的内容，上面包括凯蒂•佩里、保罗•麦卡特尼、林-马努埃尔•米兰达、DJ哈里德、雪儿、凯莎等人的签名。这封联名信的起因源于奥兰多的两起枪杀案，一次是在同性恋夜店的大规模枪杀，导致49人死亡，53人受伤，另一次是歌手克里斯蒂娜•圭密在演唱会结束后被枪击身亡。

“Music always has been celebrated communally, on dancefloors and at concert halls. But this life-affirming ritual, like so many other daily experiences—going to school or church or work—now is threatened, because of gun violence in this country,” the letter reads. “The one thing that connects the recent tragedies in Orlando is that it is far too easy for dangerous people to get their hands on guns.”

“音乐一直都是在公众场合演奏的，无论是在舞池中还是在音乐厅里。但是现在，这样积极向上的仪式，像很多其它日常生活（去上学、去教堂、去上班）一样面临着威胁，就是因为这个国家存在枪支暴力，”这封信写道。“引发奥兰多最近的悲剧的一个原因，就是危险人物太容易得到枪支了。”
