Donald Trump is turning to his family, sports figures and business leaders to fill speaking slots at the Republican National Convention later this month as scores of prominent Republican leaders continue to refuse to line up behind their controversial nominee-to-be.

在多位卓越的共和黨領袖級人物持續拒絕力挺具有爭議性的共和黨準總統候選人後，唐納．川普轉而求助家人、體壇人物與商界領袖，來填補本月稍後登場的共和黨全國代表大會的演說空檔。

Trump announced Friday that his wife and children "are all going to be speaking" at the nominating convention that kicks off in just over two weeks.

川普週五宣布，他的妻子與子女「全都會」在逾2週後舉行的提名大會上「發言」。

And the real estate mogul has also promised to add sports figures and other non-politicians who are supporting him to the roster of convention speakers, which would set the 2016 convention apart from past conventions packed with current and former elected officials.

這位地產大亨還允諾，會將支持他的體壇與其他非政界人士，納入全代會演說者名單。此舉使得2016年的共和黨全代會有別於過去充斥現任與前任民選官員（上台發表演說）的全代會。

The unconventional programming, which Trump has said will include a "winners’ night," comes as his campaign and the Republican National Committee are facing an unusual problem unseen in past conventions: a lack of interest in speaking slots from many party elders and rising stars.

（今年的全代會）之所以會有這種有違慣例的節目安排，川普透露還會有「贏家之夜」，在於川普陣營與共和黨全代會面臨過去不曾有過的奇特問題：（黨員）對全代會演說時段多為黨內大老與政治新星興趣缺缺。
