Harvard University sued President Donald Trump's administration on Monday in an effort to halt the government's pause of more than 2 billion dollars in funding for the US educational institution.

哈佛大学周一起诉唐纳德·特朗普总统的政府，试图阻止政府暂停向该美国教育机构提供超过20亿美元的资金。

"Over the course of the past week, the federal government has taken several actions following Harvard's refusal to comply with its illegal demands," Harvard President Alan Garber said in a statement.

哈佛大学校长艾伦·加伯在一份声明中表示：“过去一周，联邦政府已就哈佛大学拒绝遵守其非法要求采取了多项行动。”

"Moments ago, we filed a lawsuit to halt the funding freeze because it is unlawful and beyond the government's authority," Garber said.

加伯表示：“刚才，我们提起诉讼，要求阻止资金冻结，因为这是非法的，且超出了政府的权限。”

Among the US government agencies mentioned in Harvard's lawsuit were the Education Department, the Health Department, the Justice Department, the Energy Department and the General Services Administration.

哈佛大学诉讼中提到的美国政府机构包括教育部、卫生部、司法部、能源部和总务管理局。

The Trump administration had no immediate comment.
