zh-cn	驻东帝汶大使肖建国就共同抗疫在《东帝汶之声》发表署名文章 

en-us	On 18th March, it's the first time for China, including Wuhan city, to report no new cases of COVID-19. With all-out efforts made by the Chinese government and its people, the spread of COVID-19 in China has been effectively contained. China has made important progress in fighting against COVID-19, which is praised as an amazing achievement by the WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros. 
zh-cn	3月18日，湖北武汉和全中国首次报告没有新冠肺炎本土新增病例，说明经过中国政府和人民全力抗击，新冠肺炎病毒在中国的蔓延势头得到有效遏制，中国抗击新冠肺炎疫情取得重要阶段性成果。世卫组织总干事谭德塞称赞，这是一个惊人的成就。　　 　　

en-us	The outbreak of COVID-19 is a public health emergency with the fastest spreading speed, the widest range of infection and the greatest difficulty in prevention and control since the founding of the People's Republic of China. 
zh-cn	这次新冠肺炎疫情是新中国成立以来发生的传播速度最快、感染范围最广、防控难度最大的一次重大突发公共卫生事件。

en-us	Since the outbreak began, the Chinese government has taken the most comprehensive, strict and thorough prevention and control measures in an open, transparent and responsible manner, in order to stop the spread of the epidemic, protect the lives and health of Chinese people and foreign citizens in China, and safeguard the public health of the world. 
zh-cn	疫情发生后，中国政府本着公开、透明和负责任的态度，采取最全面、最严格、最彻底的防控措施，全力遏制疫情蔓延，维护中国公民和在华外国公民的生命安全和身体健康，维护世界公共卫生安全。

en-us	The key to China's success in this battle lies in Chinese President Xi Jinping's personal command and deployment. It lies in the rapid establishment of a highly effective joint prevention and control mechanism. It lies in the utmost efforts to contain the source of infection and cut off the transmission route. It lies in the nation-wide support to the epicenter city. It lies in the science-based approach taken to contain the outbreak. It lies in the holistic approach taken to coordinate the economic and social development with the epidemic control. It also lies in the adherence of international coordination and cooperation. 
zh-cn	中国能够取得这场战役的阶段性胜利，关键在于习近平总书记亲自指挥、亲自部署，在于我们迅速建立高效运转的联防联控机制，在于我们努力控制传染源、切断传播途径，在于我们举全国之力支援疫情最严重地区，在于我们依靠科技推进疫情防控，在于我们统筹推进疫情防控和经济社会发展，还在于我们始终坚持国际协调与合作。　　 　　

en-us	On the other hand, it must be clear that China's fight against COVID-19 is not over yet. 
zh-cn	另一方面，我们必须清楚看到，中国抗击疫情的任务并没有完全结束。

en-us	As of 25th March, around 5,000 confirmed cases were still being treated in hospitals across the country, among which about 1,400 were critical patients. 
zh-cn	截止3月25日，全国仍有约5000多名确诊病例在院接受治疗，其中约1400名为重症患者。

en-us	Meanwhile, the epidemic continues to spread abroad and was declared to be a global pandemic by the WHO. Nearly 400,000 confirmed cases have been reported in more than 190 countries. Europe and the U.S. have gradually become the "epicenters" of the outbreak, while China has to face an increasing risk of imported cases. 
zh-cn	另一方面，疫情在国外持续蔓延，世卫组织已将其升级为全球大流行，已有190多个国家报告超过30万确诊病例，欧美国家成为疫情“震中”，中国面临的输入性病例风险不断上升。

en-us	Therefore, China needs to balance both epidemic control and economic development at the same time, and attaches sufficient importance to both. 
zh-cn	因此，我们明确提出统筹推进疫情防控与经济社会发展，两手都要抓，两手都要硬。　　 　　

en-us	When the outbreak was arising in China, leaders of more than 170 countries and 40 international organizations, including Timor-Leste, have sent letters or messages to Chinese leaders to express their sympathy and solidarity. 79 countries and 10 international organizations have donated anti-epidemic supplies to China. It fully demonstrates the understanding, sympathy and support from the international community to China on fighting against COVID-19. 
zh-cn	在中国疫情最严重的时候，包括东帝汶领导人在内的170多个国家领导人和40多个国际地区组织负责人致信致函中国领导人表达慰问和声援，79个国家和10个国际组织向中方提供抗疫物资援助，充分体现了国际社会对中国的理解、同情和支持。

zh-cn	1月23日，伊朗外长扎里夫在社交媒体上用中文表达对中国抗击疫情的支持，成为全球第一个公开声援中国的外长。

zh-cn	2月初，日本捐赠口罩的包装箱上写着“山川异域，风月同天”，一名普通日本少女街头手捧“中国武汉加油”募捐箱为武汉抗疫募捐，感动了许多中国人。

en-us	South Korea is among the first group of countries donated large amounts of supplies to China. South Korean President Moon Jae-In said "China's problems are our problems", which became a slogan on the wall of the South Korea Embassy in China. 
zh-cn	韩国是首批对华捐助抗疫物资数量最多的国家之一，韩国总统文在寅表示“中国的困难就是我们的困难”，韩国驻华大使馆的外墙上张贴着这句话。

zh-cn	巴基斯坦紧急调集全国医疗储备驰援中国，俄罗斯向武汉运送医疗救援物资，美国盖茨基金会投入专项资金支持中国和全球抗击疫情。

en-us	The Chinese people will remember and hold dear every act of support. 
zh-cn	对此中国民众不会忘记。　　 　　

en-us	"You throw a peach to me, and I give you a white jade for friendship." It is China's traditional virtue to repay goodwill with greater kindness. 
zh-cn	投我以木桃，报之以琼瑶，这是中华民族的传统美德。

en-us	The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly spread to multiple countries. The Chinese government has announced assistance to 82 countries, the WHO and the African Union, which includes testing reagents, masks and protective gowns. China has also provided convenience and facilitation for some countries to purchase emergency medical supplies in China. 
zh-cn	近期面对疫情在世界多国多点暴发，中国政府已经宣布向82个国家和世卫组织、非盟提供援助，包括检测试剂、口罩、防护服等，为一些国家在华紧急采购医用物资提供支持和便利。

zh-cn	如，阿里巴巴创始人马云领导的公益基金会向日本、韩国、意大利、西班牙以及美洲、非洲大陆等80个国家捐赠医用物资。

en-us	China is doing this not only because of our cultural tradition of gratitude, but also because of our commitment to a community with a shared future for mankind and our belief of living in a global village. 
zh-cn	中方这样做，不仅是因为我们感恩的文化传统，也源于我们坚持人类命运共同体的理念，我们共处一个地球村。　　 　　

en-us	Timor-Leste is one of least developed country with a weaker health system. 
zh-cn	东帝汶是最不发达国家和医疗系统脆弱国家。

en-us	Recently, Timor-Leste reported the first confirmed case of COVID-19, which made everyone worried and reminded us of the need for a joint response to the global pandemic. 
zh-cn	日前，东确诊了第一例病例，令大家十分担心。中国使馆对东民众的心理感同身受，这再次提醒我们面对疫情全球大流行，必须共同应对。

en-us	The Chinese Embassy feels for the Timorese people. China has attached great importance to Timorese people's health, supported medical and health development in Timor-Leste for a long period, and currently is doing its best to support the prevention and control measures in Timor-Leste. 
zh-cn	中方重视东民众健康，长期支持东医疗卫生建设，正尽全力积极支持东疫情防控。

en-us	As early as the beginning of the outbreak, the Embassy has established a tripartite communication mechanism with the Ministry of Health of Timor-Leste and the WHO country office in Timor-Leste to exchange the information related to the outbreak and Chinese citizens here. 
zh-cn	早在中国疫情暴发之初，中国使馆就同东卫生部、世卫组织建立三方沟通机制，就涉及中国公民疫情信息加强交流。

en-us	As the epidemic continues to spread around the world, the Embassy has responded positively to Timor-Leste's needs and donated a batch of medical supplies to Timor-Letse, such as thermal imaging cameras, handy thermometers and face masks. 
zh-cn	随着疫情在全球不断蔓延，中国使馆积极回应东方需要，捐赠了口岸体温检测仪、额温枪和口罩等医用物资。

en-us	In response to the Timorese Government's recent request after the 1st imported case was confirmed in Timor-Leste, the Embassy has swiftly opened up some commercial channels for Timor-Leste to import urgently needed medical supplies and is now trying to coordinate new donations from China. 
zh-cn	在东确诊首例输入型患者后，中国使馆应东方最新需要，协助在华采购医疗物资，积极协调国内提供新的捐赠。

en-us	The Embassy has contacted the Chinese medical team in Timor-Leste to carry out free medical advice and treatment for Timorese communities, popularize knowledge of personal protection and share diagnosis and treatment protocol and control experience. 
zh-cn	中国使馆联系中国援东医疗队，积极为东社区民众开展义诊，普及个人卫生和防护知识，无私同东方分享诊疗方案和防控经验。

zh-cn	中国援东医疗队随时准备，参与疫情防控，维护东民众生命安全和身体健康，在东华侨华人亦积极配合当地政府，并为东抗疫捐款捐物。

en-us	As a good neighbor, friend and partner of Timor-Leste, China will continue to stand with the Timorese government in jointly fighting against COVID-19 and make contributions to the prevention and control of the virus within its ability. 
zh-cn	作为东帝汶的好邻居、好朋友、好伙伴，中方将继续与东政府站在一起，共同抗疫，为东方疫情防控做出力所能及的贡献。　　 　　

en-us	It is worth noting that a few politicians and media in some countries have framed COVID-19 as "Chinese virus" or "Wuhan virus". This stigmatization is suspected of racial and geographical discrimination, which is immoral and opposed by the WHO. 
zh-cn	值得警惕的是，当前一些国家的政客或不良媒体把新冠肺炎诬称为“中国病毒”或“武汉病毒”，涉嫌种族和地域歧视，很不道德，也是世卫组织反对的。

en-us	If by this logic, should the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic in North America also be called American influenza? It is not advisable for some countries to use stigma to conceal their own mistakes in epidemic prevention, which can only lead to humanitarian disaster. 
zh-cn	如果按这种逻辑，2009年暴发于北美的H1N1流感大流行，是否也应被称为美国流感呢？个别国家企图利用污名化别国掩盖自身防疫失误实不可取，只能造成更大的人道主义灾难。

en-us	Virus has no borders. We must put aside suspicion and ideological rivalries, put an end to the so-called virus of racial prejudice, and join hands in battling and winning over COVID-19 from nature. 
zh-cn	病毒无国界，我们要放下相互猜忌和意识形态之争，消灭种族偏见的病毒，共同打赢这场新冠肺炎病毒阻击战。　　 　　

en-us	In the era of globalization and in the face of pandemic, countries in the world are actually a community with a shared future for health. 
zh-cn	在全球化时代，面对疫情大流行，世界各国实际上是“卫生健康命运共同体”。

en-us	Just as the ancient Italian philosopher Seneca said, "We are waves of the same sea, leaves on the same tree, flowers in the same garden". We need solidarity to help each other hand in hand. 
zh-cn	正如古罗马哲人塞内加所说，“我们是同海之浪，同树之叶，同园之花”，应该同舟共济，团结协作。

en-us	Therefore, I call on Timorese people and public, while keeping calm and rational, to show your love and sympathy, to treat the locals and foreigners with equal, to treat the suspected and confirmed patients with equal, to offer care and due treatment to them, rather than treat them with prejudice and xenophobia, or even personal threats. 
zh-cn	因此，我呼吁东广大民众能保持冷静、理性，摒弃偏见，不论是东公民还是外国人，是疑似患者还是确诊病例，应一视同仁，关爱为怀，帮助他们战胜疾病，而不是仇视和排外，甚至对患者施以人身威胁。

en-us	Only by love and supporting each other can we overcome difficulties and win the battle against COVID-19. 
zh-cn	我们只有相互关爱、相互支持，才能共克时艰，打赢抗疫阻击战。　　 　　

en-us	Let us join hands together. 
zh-cn	“扁舟共济与君同”，让我们携手团结起来！
