特朗普 VS 福奇

矛盾愈演愈烈

????????隨著新冠肺炎疫情在美國愈演愈烈，特朗普與福奇之間的矛盾也日漸加深。

????????特朗普多次暗示最壞的情況已經過去。

????????《紐約時報》稱，除了積極推廣疫苗以外，特朗普政府并沒有積極應對新冠肺炎威脅，而是要求全面開放經濟，并讓兒童返回校園。

• But beyond pushing for a vaccine, the Trump administration has refrained from confronting the threat aggressively, pushing instead to fully open the economy and get children back in school.

????????此外，白宮新冠疫情特別工作組以前每天一次的例會，被改成了一周一次，通常是與州長進行電話會議，討論特定的主題，例如檢測、養(yǎng)老院等。

• The White House coronavirus task force, which met daily at the?outset of the pandemic, now meets about once a week and hosts a weekly conference call with governors, typically to address specific topics like testing and?nursing home?guidance.

????????與此相反，福奇始終敦促認真應對新冠疫情。

• 福奇一直與白宮隔離，并且告誡美國人“不能放松警惕”，要準備好迎接一個艱難的冬季。而這種觀點恰恰與特朗普一直重復的觀點相左——“疫情即將過去”。這場疫情已經奪去22萬美國人的生命。

• ……Dr. Fauci has been separating himself from the White House and warning Americans to "hunker down" and brace for a difficult winter?— a message at odds with Mr. Trump's repeated, if false, assurances that the nation is "rounding the corner"?on a pandemic that has claimed about 220,000 American lives.

????????上周在接受《時代周刊》采訪時，福奇表示，他對接下來幾個月表示擔心，并且對美國正在經歷“第二波疫情”表示不贊同，因為美國“還沒有完全度過第一波疫情”。

• But in an interview with The Times last week, before Mr. Trump’s latest comments, Dr. Fauci said he was concerned about the coming months, and?resisted the idea that the nation was in a "second wave" because "we have never completely gotten out of the first wave."

????????當地時間18日，福奇接受哥倫比亞廣播公司（CBS）采訪時表示，對特朗普所謂的疫情即將過去的說法表示不贊同。

• It also comes after Dr. Fauci, in an interview with “60 Minutes” that aired on Sunday, dismissed the president’s claim that the end of the pandemic was just around the corner.

????????他還談到，自己對特朗普感染新冠病毒完全沒有感到驚訝。

• 絕對沒有。當我看到他出現在人群擁擠、沒有任何隔離、幾乎沒人戴口罩的場合下，我就擔心他會感染。Absolutely not. I was worried that he was going to get sick when I saw?him in a completely precarious situation of crowded, no separation between people, and almost nobody wearing a mask.?

????????節(jié)目播出后，福奇遭到了特朗普的痛批。

????????特朗普一邊說福奇是“好人”，一邊又批評他“喜歡上電視”，“做了很多次錯誤的判斷”。

????????當被問及為何不炒掉福奇時，特朗普稱，“他在這待了350年了，我不愿意傷害他”。

• …Mr. Trump called Dr. Fauci "a very nice man" but complained that he "loves being on television" and has made "a lot of?bad calls".?Asked why he didn't fire Dr. Fauci, Mr. Trump said, "He's been there for about 350 years. I don't want to hurt him."

????????特朗普還表示，“每次他上電視，就像‘爆炸性新聞’一樣，如果你開除他，那就是更大的‘爆炸性新聞’?！?/p>

• Every time?he goes on television, there's always a bomb, but there's a bigger bomb if you fire him.

福奇引用《教父》臺詞回應：

就我而言，對事不對人

????????針對這樣的指責，福奇引用《教父》中的臺詞稱，“（應對新冠病毒）是我唯一真正關心的事情。就像《教父》中所說的，‘就我而言，對事不對人’。我只是想做我的工作，保護好美國人民?！?/p>

• "[Addressing the virus is] the only thing I really care about. That other stuff, it’s like in 'The Godfather': Nothing personal, strictly business as far as I'm concerned. I just want to do my job and take care of the people of this country," Fauci said.

????????美國有線電視新聞網（CNN）援引著名公共衛(wèi)生專家、哈佛醫(yī)學院前教威廉·哈茲爾廷的話稱，“對于這些美國需要用來保護自己免受致命疾病之苦的措施，福奇是最純粹、最堅定的支持者?！?/p>

????????“特朗普做的事無異于房子著火燒毀了，卻來攻擊消防部門?！?/p>

• "Tony Fauci has been the most clear, consistent proponent of the?measures the United States needs to protect itself from a deadly disease," William Haseltine, a renowned public health expert and former professor at Harvard Medical School, told CNN's Erin Burnett on Monday.

• "What Donald Trump is doing is attacking the fire department when the house in burning down."

????????同為抗擊新冠疫情的重要領頭人，中國鐘南山院士和美國“抗疫隊長”福奇截然不同的“待遇”，讓中國外交部發(fā)言人華春瑩多次發(fā)出感嘆：“鐘南山院士的專業(yè)建議已被采納，他還被授予‘共和國勛章’，這是最高榮譽，他被視為英雄。我們希望福奇博士，這位美國版‘鐘博士’也能夠得到尊重和善待。”

美國或將迎來至暗時刻

????????CNN報道稱，美國專家預測：未來的6到12周，將是美國新冠肺炎疫情最黑暗的時期。

• "The?next 6 to 12 weeks?are going to be the darkest of the entire pandemic," expert says.

????????當地時間18日，美國明尼蘇達大學傳染病研究與政策中心主任奧斯特霍爾姆（Michael Osterholm）指出，疫苗要到明年第三季度才能“以有效的方式”提供，即使在這種情況下，美國一半人口還是對接種疫苗持懷疑態(tài)度。

• Vaccines won't be available "in any meaningful way" until the third quarter of next year, he said – and even when they are, half the US population is skeptical of even taking one.

????????他強調，16日美國單日新增病例約7萬，這一數字與疫情高峰期間最大數量相吻合。他預測，單日新增病例還會進一步更高。

• Osterholm highlighted the 70,000 cases of Covid-19 reported on Friday, which matched the largest number seen during the peak of the pandemic, and said that between now and the holidays, the US will see numbers "much, much larger than even the?67 to 75,000 cases," he said.
