The country's leaders have been considering the move for several years.
该国的领导人多年来一直在考虑迁都。

The new law provides a legal system for President Joko Widodo's $32-billion project. It explains the requirements for the development of the new capital, including financing and governance.
这项新法律为佐科·维多多总统提出的耗资320亿美元的项目提供了法律体系。它解释了新首都的开发要求，其中包括融资和管理。

The new capital will be "a symbol of the identity of the nation, as well as a new center of economic gravity," Planning Minister Suharso Monoarfa told parliament.
印尼规划部长苏哈索·莫诺阿尔法告诉议会，新首都将成为“国家身份的象征，以及新的经济重心。”

The move will start from between 2022 and 2024, with roads and ports built first. Some projects will operate as public-private partnerships, the finance ministry said.
这次迁都将于2022年到2024年之间启动，以道路和港口建设作为先行。印尼财政部表示，一些项目将以公私合作伙伴关系来运作。

Jakarta, a city of 10 million people, suffers from overcrowding, flooding and air pollution. Several former presidents have considered moving the capital, but none have advanced the idea until now.
雅加达是一座拥有1千万人口的城市，该市过度拥挤、洪水泛滥并且空气污染严重。几位前总统都考虑过迁都，但是截至目前尚无人推动这一想法。

Widodo first announced his plan in 2019. The plan got delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The new city has a name that he chose: Nusantara. The word is a Javanese term for the Indonesian island group.
维多多于2019年首次宣布了他的计划。该计划因为新冠肺炎大流行而推迟。他给这座新城市取的新名字是努桑塔拉。这个词是爪哇语中指代印尼群岛的一个术语。

There is not a set date for the finalization of the project. Jakarta will remain the capital until there is a presidential order to formally change it.
该项目的最终审定尚未有确定日期。雅加达将继续作为首都，直到有总统下令正式改变首都。

The government said in a statement that the new capital will strengthen trade relationships and give Indonesia a better position in "world trade routes, investment flows and technological innovation."
印尼政府在一份声明中表示，新首都将会加强贸易关系，让印尼在世界贸易路线、投资流动和技术创新中处于更好的位置。

The government also said the new capital will be "low-carbon." It added that the city will support health and technology industries.
印尼政府还表示，新首都将会很低碳。它还表示，这座城市将会支持健康和科技产业。

Critics say the law was pushed through with little consideration for environmental concerns or public opinion.
批评人士表示，这项法律的推动没有考虑到环境问题和公众意见。

Nusantara will be led by a chief official who acts as a minister, a member of the law's special committee said on Monday. Jakarta's former governor, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, also known as Ahok, is among those being considered for the position.
这项法律的特别委员会的一名委员周一表示，努桑塔拉将由一名担任部长的首席官员领导。雅加达前省长钟万学是该职位的潜在人选之一，他也被人称作阿学。
