Judge Halts Works on Microsoft’s JEDI Contract,a victory for Amazon
法院暂停微软JEDI合同的相关工作，对亚马逊来说是一场胜利
A federal judge in Washington ordered Microsoft on Thursday to half all work on a 10 billion dollars cloud-computing contract for the Pentagon, in a victory for Amazon, which had challenged the awarding of the contract.
周四，一位华盛顿联邦法官下，要求微软暂停价值100亿美金，由美国国防部条件下的云计算合同的所有相关工作，对亚马逊而方是一场胜利，此前它曾对该合同的授予提出抗议。
In a sealed opinion, the judge of the Court of Federal Claims ordered work to tops on the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure project, known as JEDI, until amazon’s final challenge was resolved. The 10-year contract was one of the largest tech contracts from the Pentagon, and Microsoft was set to begin work on it this month.
在一份未公开的法律意见中，美国联邦索赔法院的法官命令暂停“联合企业防御基础设施”简称JEDI项目，直到亚马逊的诉讼结束。该项目为期10年，是5角大楼签订过的最大技术合同之一，微软原定在本月开始动工。
In December, Amazon filed its legal challenge against the awarding of JEDI, saying that Mr. Trump used “improper pressure”on the Pentagon at its expense. In another court filling this month, Amazon argued that an injunction was necessary to prevent it from losing the profit it could earn from the contract.
去年十二月，亚马逊针对JEDI项目的授予提起了法律诉讼，称朗普总统不顾亚马逊利益，对国防部“不恰当施压”。在本月另一份法庭诉讼中，亚马逊要求法院发布禁止令，来避免损失自己可以从国防部合同中赚钱的利润。
“This is all setting the stage for a major court fight between Amazon and Microsoft, with the D.O.D. caught in between, “said Daniel Ives, an analyst.” It’s a political football that’s being kicked around.”
“这些都为亚马逊和微软这间的一场法庭大战拉开了序幕，而国防部夹在中间左右为难，“分析人士丹尼尔艾夫斯说道，”它现在就是一个被踢来踢去的政治皮球。“
