【看中国2020年5月17日讯】（看中国记者天琴翻译）5月15日（星期五）中午，川普总统在白宫玫瑰花园，就疫苗开发发表演讲。之后，川普回答记者提问。
以下是川普总统答记者问，节选翻译。
THE PRESIDENT: I don’t — or lower than that. I don’t know. I don’t know. Those are the numbers that are being reported. I assume they’re correct.
总统：我没不知道，或者（有可能）比那更低。我不知道。我不知道。报告的数字就是这样。我认为它们是正确的。
Unlike other countries — I mean, you have some countries — obviously, you have some that are very obviously ridiculous, but our numbers are accurate numbers. We don’t do anything with the numbers one way or the other. Whatever it is —
与其它国家不同，我的意思是，其它一些国家，显然，有一些（数字）显然非常的荒谬，但我们的数字是准确的数字。我们不对数字进行任何捏造。是什么样就是什么样。
Q Do you have any indi- —
问：您有没有其其它...
THE PRESIDENT: — that’s what we do. We take the numbers as reported. Okay?
总统：—我们就是这样做的。我们以报告的数字为准。好的？
Q Do you have any indication that they could be lower than that?
问：您是否有迹象表明它们可能会低于那个数字（86,000）？
THE PRESIDENT: Oh, I don’t know. I don’t know. If they were, I’d be very happy if they were lower. I’d like to see numbers lower. I’d like to see no death at all. One death is too many. This should have never happened. This came from China. It should have been stopped in China before it got out to the world. We have 186 — it’s been updated this morning — 186 countries are affected.
总统：哦，我不知道。我不知道。如果是的话，我会很高兴，如果数字更低。我希望看到更低的数字。我不希望看到任何死亡。一个人死是太多了。这本来是不应该发生的事。（中共病毒）来自中国。它本应该在中国就被阻止，不该让向世界扩散。我们有186个国家（今天早上已更新）有186个国家受到影响。
And each country that’s affected is the same thing. Russia now is badly affected. France is badly affected. You look at what each country — and you can say “affected” or you can say “infected,” either way you want to put it.
每个受影响的国家都是一样的。俄罗斯现在受到严重影响。法国受到严重影响。你可以看看每个国家的情况，你可以说受影响或被感染了，随你怎么说吧。
But you look at these countries. Look at Italy and you look at Spain and you look at all of these great countries, in many cases, how they’ve — how they’ve had to fight through this. It’s a terrible thing that happened. It could have been stopped at the source. It should have been stopped right at the source, but it wasn’t.
但是你看看这些国家。看看意大利，再看看西班牙，再看看所有这些伟大的国家，在许多情况下，他们是如何度过难关的。这是一件可怕的事情。它本该在源头就被阻止的。它应该在源头就被阻止了，但事实并非如此。
