en-us	Politicians, celebrities, social media influencers and even N.B.A. teams have been tested for the new corona-virus. 
zh-cn	政客、名人、网红、甚至NBA球队都已经进行了新型冠状病毒的测试。

en-us	But as that list of rich, famous and powerful people grows by the day, so do questions about whether they are getting access to testing that is denied to other Americans. 
zh-cn	但是，随着这一串拥有金钱、名声和权力的名字越来越长，人们越发质疑，其他美国人是否被剥夺了获取这种检测的机会。 

en-us	Some of these high-profile people say they are feeling ill and had good reason to be tested. 
zh-cn	这些知名人士中的一些人说，他们感到不适，并且有充分的理由接受测试。

en-us	Others argue that those who were found to be infected and then isolated themselves provided a good example to the public. 
zh-cn	还有一些人则认为，那些发现感染后进行自我隔离的人为公众做了一个很好的榜样。 

en-us	But with testing still in short supply in areas of the country, leaving health care workers and many sick people unable to get diagnoses, some prominent personalities have obtained tests without exhibiting symptoms or having known contact with someone who has the virus, as required by some testing guidelines. 
zh-cn	但是，由于美国某些地区的测试仍然短缺，使得医护人员和许多病人无法得到诊断，而一些名人在还未出现症状时，或在某些指南的要求下，在得知与病毒携带者有接触后就已获得了测试。

en-us	Others have refused to specify how they were tested. 
zh-cn	还有一些人则拒绝说明他们的测试是如何进行的。 

en-us	Such cases have provoked accusations of elitism and preferential treatment about a testing system that has already been plagued with delays and confusion, and now stirred a new national debate that has reached the White House — with President Trump being asked at a Wednesday news conference whether “the well-connected go to the front of the line.” 
zh-cn	这个测试系统本已经饱受延误和混乱的困扰，如今又激起了人们对精英主义和特殊待遇的指责，并又引发一场直抵白宫的全国大讨论——川普总统在周三的新闻发布会上被问及“是否存在有势力的人插队的情况”。 

en-us	“You’d have to ask them that question,” he replied, suggesting that should not be the case. 
zh-cn	“这个问题你得去问他们，”他回答说，并且暗示并不是这样。

en-us	“Perhaps that’s been the story of life. 
zh-cn	“也许这就是生活。

en-us	That does happen on occasion, and I’ve noticed where some people have been tested fairly quickly.” 
zh-cn	有时候确实会发生这种情况，而且我注意到有些人的测试做得相当迅速。” 

en-us	Inside the N.B.A., where eight entire teams have been tested, there are differing views. 
zh-cn	在已有8支球队做了测试的NBA内部，存在着不同的看法。

en-us	Bob Myers, the president of basketball operations for the Golden State Warriors, said his team thought it would be unfair for its players to seek special access. 
zh-cn	金州勇士队总经理鲍勃·迈尔斯表示，他的团队认为，为队员寻求特殊待遇是不公平的。 

en-us	“We’ve been told that the testing is in short supply,” Mr. Myers said in a conference call on Tuesday, explaining that no Warriors coach, player or staff member would test until symptomatic — and only then in accord with government guidelines. 
zh-cn	迈尔斯在周二的电话会议上说：“有人告诉我们测试存在短缺。”他解释说，勇士队的教练、球员或职员只有在有症状的情况下才会测试——只有这种情况才符合政府的指南。

en-us	“We’re not better than anybody, not worse. 
zh-cn	“我们并不比任何人高，也不比谁低。

en-us	Just a basketball team.” 
zh-cn	我们只是一支篮球队。” 

en-us	The same day, Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York, in a post on Twitter, chided the Brooklyn Nets, which managed to arrange tests for its entire roster.

zh-cn	有4人为阳性，其中1人有症状。 

en-us	“We wish them a speedy recovery,” Mr. de Blasio wrote. 
zh-cn	“我们希望他们尽早康复，”白思豪写道。

en-us	“But, with all due respect, an entire NBA team should NOT get tested for COVID-19 while there are critically ill patients waiting to be tested. 
zh-cn	“但是，恕我直言，当有重症患者还在等待接受测试时，NBA一整支球队不应接受COVID-19的测试。

en-us	Tests should not be for the wealthy, but for the sick.” 
zh-cn	测试不应该针对富人，而是针对病患。” 

en-us	Access has proved uneven across the country, even as guidelines for who qualifies have broadened and the laboratories conducting tests have expanded, from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to state health departments and then to hospitals and private labs. 
zh-cn	事实证明，全国各地获取测试的机会不平衡，即使指南中适用于测试的人群范围扩大，并且可进行测试的实验室也有所增加——从联邦疾病控制和预防中心到州卫生部门，再到医院和 私人实验室。 

en-us	In areas of the country where the virus has been slow to appear, people have been able to obtain tests easily. 
zh-cn	国内病例出现尚不多的地区已经能够轻松获得测试。

en-us	But in New York, California, Washington State and Massachusetts, where the virus has spread rapidly and demand for tests is most high, it is very difficult. 
zh-cn	但是在纽约州、加州、华盛顿州和马萨诸塞州，这些病毒传播迅速，测试需求最大，获得测试非常困难。

zh-cn	纽约市卫生局要求医生只为需要住院治疗的病人安排检测。

en-us	People with mild symptoms are being told to quarantine themselves at home. 
zh-cn	轻症患者被告知要在家中隔离。

en-us	Even health care workers, at high risk of contracting the virus and transmitting it, have struggled to get tested. 
zh-cn	即使是作为感染和传播高风险人群的医护人员也很难进行检测。 

en-us	In New Rochelle, a community north of Manhattan where the virus has spread, a sick mother was told she could not get tested because she hadn’t been to a global “hot spot.” 
zh-cn	在病毒已扩散的曼哈顿北部新罗谢尔社区，一位生病的母亲被告知无法接受检测，因为她没有去过全球“热点”地区。

en-us	In Boston, an employee at Biogen, a tech company where many dozens tested positive after a conference, was turned away because he didn’t have symptoms. 
zh-cn	波士顿科技公司渤健(Biogen)有几十名员工在一次大会后检测呈阳性，然而一名员工却因没有 症状而被拒绝检测。

en-us	On Twitter, the hash tag #CDCWontTestMe has been circulating for weeks. 
zh-cn	在Twitter上，#CDCWontTestMe（“CDC不给我做测试”）这个标签已经流传了几周。 

en-us	In the eyes of some doctors, prominent figures appeared to be moving to the front of the line. 
zh-cn	在一些医生看来，似乎存在要人插队的情况。 

en-us	“As predicted, #COVID19 is exposing all of the societal inequities,” Dr. Uché Blackstock, an urgent care doctor in Brooklyn, wrote on Twitter. “It’s upsetting for me to 1) have to ration out #COVID19 testing to my patients, then 2) have to wait 5-7 days for the results, when celebrities are getting tested with ease and quick turnaround times.” 
zh-cn	“不出所料，#COVID19暴露了所有社会不公，”布鲁克林的急救医生乌切·布莱克斯托克(Uche Blackstock)在Twitter上写道：“这让我很苦恼：1)不得不给病人的#COVID19测试定额，2)必须等5-7天才能得到结果，而名人却可以轻松测试，迅速拿到结果。” 

en-us	The Hollywood elite — stars, agents, studio and network executives — have concierge doctors on speed dial during the best of times and are used to receiving preferential treatment at Los Angeles medical centers like Cedars-Sinai and Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. 
zh-cn	好莱坞精英——明星、经纪人、制片公司和电视网高管——在情况最好时都可以快速电话预约门诊医生，他们习惯于在西达斯西奈(Cedars-Sinai)和加州大学洛杉矶分校罗纳德·里根医疗中心(Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center)这样的洛杉矶医疗中心接受优待诊疗。

en-us	Many A-listers use LifeSpan, a private practice. 
zh-cn	许多一线明星在私人诊所LifeSpan就诊。 

en-us	Over the past few days, however, some celebrities — even ones with symptoms — have expressed frustration about an inability to get tested because of a shortage of kits. 
zh-cn	然而，过去几天里，一些名人——甚至是有症状的名人——都因为缺少检测工具而无法进行检测，他们对此表示失望。

en-us	Heidi Klum, the TV personality and model, posted a video on Instagram on Friday from Los Angeles in which she claimed to have tried two doctors without luck. 
zh-cn	电视名人兼模特海蒂·克拉姆(Heidi Klum)上周五在洛杉矶发布了一段Instagram视频， 说自己看了两个医生，运气都不好。

zh-cn	“我意识到，无论是在纽约市还是在全国范围内，有许多人在出现疾病迹象时，都无法立即得 到医疗照护，而在这样的时期，这应该是头等大事，”她写道。

en-us	On Capitol Hill, where four senators and nearly a dozen House members have chosen to self-quarantine after possible exposure to the virus, patterns seemed to emerge. 
zh-cn	在国会山，4名参议员和近12名众议员在可能接触到病毒后选择了自我隔离，某种模式似乎正在显现。 

en-us	Those who consulted their own doctors or the attending physician of Congress were by and large advised against testing if they were asymptomatic. 
zh-cn	如果他们向自己的医生或国会的主治医生咨询，大体上会得到建议，如果没有症状就不要进行检测。 

en-us	“Each of the physicians that I consulted with advised me that since I have no symptoms, since I’m not sick, they said testing was medically ineffective,” Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, said on Saturday in an interview with ABC News. 
zh-cn	“我咨询过的所有医生都告诉我，既然我没有症状，既然我没有生病，检测在医学上就是无效 的，”得克萨斯州共和党参议员特德·克鲁兹(Ted Cruz)上周六接受ABC新闻频道采访时表示。 

en-us	Some who obtained tests were close allies of the president — Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina and a frequent golfing partner of Mr. Trump; Representative Mark Meadows, Republican of North Carolina and the incoming White House chief of staff; and Representative Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, who learned he had been exposed to the virus as he boarded Air Force One last week to fly back to Washington with Mr. Trump.

en-us	Their tests came back negative.

zh-cn	梅多斯和格雷厄姆的发言人都拒绝回答通过电子邮件发送的有关他们测试情况的问题，包括是谁下令进行，在哪里进行。 

en-us	Mr. Gaetz said on Twitter that White House medical officials had told him he was being tested not “because I am in Congress — but because I had been in close contact with President Trump over several days.” 
zh-cn	盖茨在Twitter上说，白宫医疗官员告诉他，他接受检测不是“因为我在国会——而是因为我与川普总统保持了几天的密切联系”。 

en-us	On Wednesday, it was announced that two congressman had tested positive: Representatives Ben McAdams, Democrat of Utah, and Mario Diaz-Balart, Republican of Florida. 
zh-cn	周三，有消息宣布，两名国会议员的检测结果呈阳性：犹他州民主党众议员本·麦克亚当斯(Ben McAdams)和佛罗里达州共和党众议员马里奥·迪亚斯-巴拉特(Mario Diaz-Balart)。

zh-cn	美国最大的商业实验室之一奎斯特诊断公司(Quest Diagnostics)的发言人温迪·博斯特(Wendy Bost）说，许多组织已经请求帮助对他们的员工进行检测，她指出，奎斯特“向少数运动团 队提供了我们全部检测工具中极小的一部分。”

zh-cn	该团队反驳了外界对其受到特殊待遇的批评，并表示“如果我们等到球员表现出症状，他们可能会持续对家人、朋友和公众构成风险”。 

en-us	BRUSSELS — In the name of “America First,” President Trump has pulled out of the Paris climate agreement and questioned the usefulness of the United Nations and NATO, displaying his distaste for the multinational institutions the United States had constructed and led since World War II. 
zh-cn	布鲁塞尔——特朗普总统以“美国优先”的名义退出了《巴黎气候协定》，并曾质疑联合国和北约的作用，这都是他厌恶美国自“二战”以来建立并曾领导的多国机构的表现。

en-us	As the coronavirus crisis escalates across the globe, the United States is stepping back further, abandoning its longtime role as a generous global leader able to coordinate an ambitious, multinational response to a worldwide emergency. 
zh-cn	随着新型冠状病毒危机在世界各地不断升级，美国正在进一步后退，放弃自己长期以来的角色。美国曾是一个慷慨的全球领导者，在全球出现紧急情况时能够协调雄心勃勃的多国应对措施。 

en-us	During both the economic meltdown in 2008 and the Ebola crisis of 2014, the United States assumed the role of global coordinator of responses — sometimes imperfectly, but with the acceptance and gratitude of its allies and even its foes. 
zh-cn	在2008年经济崩溃以及2014年的埃博拉病毒危机期间，美国承担起全球应对措施协调者的角色，尽管有时做得并不完美，但得到了盟友甚至敌人的接受和感激。

en-us	In 2003, President George W. Bush established a program, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, that has provided as much as $90 billion and is considered the largest single effort against a single disease. It is credited for saving many thousands of lives in Africa alone. 
zh-cn	2003年，美国总统乔治·W·布什设立了“总统艾滋病紧急救援计划”(President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief)，它已为抗击艾滋病提供了高达900亿美元的资金，被认为是针对单个疾病所 做出的最大努力，仅在非洲，这个计划就挽救了成千上万人的性命。

en-us	But the United States is not taking those kinds of steps today. 
zh-cn	但如今的美国没有在采取这样的步骤。

en-us	“There is from President Trump’s America a selfishness that is new,’’ said Jan Techau, a senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund in Berlin. 
zh-cn	特朗普总统领导下的美国有一种新的自私，”柏林的德国马歇尔基金会(German Marshall Fund)高级研究员扬·特肖(Jan Techau)说。

en-us	While all nations act to protect themselves, he said, the United States traditionally saw that responsibility as having a broader reach.
zh-cn	他表示，虽然所有国家都在采取行动保护自己，但美国历来认为这个责任覆盖更大的范围。 

en-us	“With Mr. Trump’s unembellished nationalism and slogan of “America First,’’ his efforts to blame first China and then Europe for the coronavirus, and his various misstatements of fact, “it means that America no longer serves the planet,’’ Mr. Techau said. 
zh-cn	特肖说，特朗普毫不掩饰的民族主义和“美国优先”的口号，他先把新冠病毒归咎于中国，后又归咎于欧洲，加上他对事实的各种错误陈述，“意味着美国不再为这个星球服务”。

en-us	“America was always strong on self-interest but it has been very generous,” he said. 
zh-cn	“美国虽然一直重视自身利益，但也非常慷慨，”他说。

en-us	“That generosity seems to be gone, and that’s bad news for the world.’’The pandemic is hardly at its peak, so judgments should be tempered, said Claudia Major, an analyst of international security at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs in Berlin. 
zh-cn	“这种慷慨看来已经消失，这对世界不利。”新冠病毒全球大流行还未达到顶峰，所以应该缓作评价，柏林的德国国际与安全事务研究所(German Institute for International and Security Affairs)国际安全分析师克劳迪娅·梅杰(Claudia Major)说。

en-us	“But this crisis is confirmation of a structural change in U.S. political leadership,’’ she said. 
zh-cn	“但这次危机证实了美国的政治领导力已经出现了结构性变化，”她说。

en-us	“There is no U.S. global leadership and no U.S. model,’’ Ms. Major added. 
zh-cn	“没有美国的全球领导力，也没有美国模式，”梅杰补充说。

en-us	“Success would be that you manage the pandemic at home, rally allies around you, lead the alliance, supply global public goods and organize the global response, as with Ebola.” 
zh-cn	“要成功的话，你要能控制大流行病的国内疫情，将盟友团结在你的周围，领导这个联盟，为 全球提供公共产品，组织全球的应对措施，像对付埃博拉病毒那样。” 

en-us	Instead, American institutions “don’t seem to be able to cope at home,” she said, and there is “a Trump response to act alone.’’ 
zh-cn	与此相反，美国的机构“似乎无法应对国内的疫情”，她说，而且采取的是一种“特朗普式的独自行动做法”。

en-us	The United States did provide some early aid to China. 
zh-cn	美国确实在早期向中国提供了一些援助。

en-us	But in general, the administration has left even close allies to fend for themselves. 
zh-cn	但总的来说，特朗普政府甚至让美国的亲密盟友自己想办法。

en-us	Mr. Trump has defended his ban on all travel from the European Union, but he did not bother to consult with European leaders or even give them advance notice. 
zh-cn	特朗普已在为他禁止所有欧盟旅客进入美国的禁令做辩护，但在这件事上，他没有与欧洲领导人协商，甚至没有提前通知他们。

en-us	The United States has the leadership of the Group of 7 industrialized countries this year, 
zh-cn	虽然美国是主要工业国家七国集团今年的轮值主席，

en-us	but it was the energetic French president, Emmanuel Macron, who called Mr. Trump twice in 10 days to suggest a G-7 virus summit by videoconference. 
zh-cn	却是精力充沛的法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙(Emmanuel Macron)在10天内给特朗普打了两次电话，建议以视频形式召开七国集团峰会，讨论病毒问题。

en-us	Mr. Trump agreed, but left Mr. Macron to organize it. 
zh-cn	特朗普同意了，但让马克龙来组织。

en-us	Germans and Europeans generally are angry about accusations from German officials that the Trump administration, and reportedly Mr. Trump himself, offered $1 billion to a German pharmaceutical company, Cure-Vac, to buy monopoly rights to a potential Covid-19 vaccine. 
zh-cn	德国官员曾指责特朗普政府（据说是特朗普本人）向德国制药公司Cure-Vac出价10亿美元， 购买一种可能对新冠病毒有效的疫苗的专卖权。德国人和欧洲人对此普遍感到愤怒。

en-us	The White House denies the accusations and the company has denied receiving a takeover offer. 
zh-cn	白宫否认了这些指控，那家德国公司也否认有这个收购出价。

en-us	But its lead investor made clear there was some kind of approach. 
zh-cn	但公司的主要投资者曾明确表示存在某种接触。

en-us	Whatever the reality, “the point is that people think Trump is capable of that,’’ Ms. Major said. 
zh-cn	无论事实如何，“关键是人们认为特朗普有干出这种事的能耐，”梅杰说。

en-us	“That’s where we’ve arrived in the trans-Atlantic relationship, that people say, ‘Yes, that sounds right for the American president.’ ’’ 
zh-cn	“我们的跨大西洋关系已进入了这种状态，以至于人们会说，‘是的，听起来是这位美国总统干得出的事情。’”

en-us	ANDREAS GEBERT/REUTERSPeter Westmacott, a former British ambassador to Washington, said, 
zh-cn	曾任英国驻华盛顿大使的彼得·韦斯特马科特(Peter Westmacott)说， 

en-us	“Most of us see the crisis in terms of what it means for our families, our livelihoods and the future of our own country.’’ 
zh-cn	“我们大多数人看这场危机的角度是，它对我们的家庭、我们的生计，以及我们国家的未来 意味着什么。”

en-us	“But obviously we are also looking at how others are dealing with the situation,” he continued. 
zh-cn	“但显然，我们也在观察其他人如何应对这一危机，”他接着说。

en-us	“Seen from a distance, Trump’s performance has pretty much confirmed the views people over here already had of him — that it’s all about ‘me,’ with no acceptance of responsibility for earlier failures.’’ The suggestion that Mr. Trump tried to buy out the German company, “true or not, did not play well in the European media,” Mr. Westmacott said. 
zh-cn	“站在远处看，特朗普的表现基本上证实了大西洋这边的人对他的看法——一切都是关于‘我’，不对早些时候的失误承担责任。有关特朗普试图收购那家德国公司的传言，不管是真是假，都在欧洲媒体上反应不佳，”韦斯特马科特说。

en-us	“It felt more ‘America first’ than America in its traditional role of a big-hearted great power.’’ 
zh-cn	“这更像是‘美国优先’，而不是美国传统的大国角色。”

en-us	The contrast is to China, which made huge mistakes at the onset of the crisis, 
zh-cn	与美国形成对比的是中国。中国在危机开始时犯了巨大的错误，

en-us	but since then appears to have managed it effectively, using harsh quarantine measures others are studying. 
zh-cn	但从那以后似乎有效地管理了危机。其他国家正在学习中国使用严厉的隔离措施。

en-us	China is also now sending aid — needed respiratory and surgical masks, ventilators and medical personnel — to Italy and Serbia, which have condemned their European allies for not providing early and efficient help. 
zh-cn	中国还向意大利和塞尔维亚提供急需的呼吸防护和外科口罩、呼吸机以及医疗队。这两个国家谴责他们的欧洲盟国没有及早、有效地提供帮助。

en-us	On Wednesday, China offered the European Union as a whole two million surgical masks, 200,000 advanced N95 masks and 50,000 testing kits. 
zh-cn	周三，中国向欧盟作为一个整体提供了200万个外科口罩、20万个N95高级口罩，以及5万个检测试剂盒。

en-us	“There is a serious battle of narratives,’’ Ms. Major said. 
zh-cn	“这是一场认真的叙事战，”梅杰说。

en-us	“And the Chinese have become good at what was once America’s tool, soft power.’’ 
zh-cn	“中国人已经学会了使用美国人曾经擅长的工具——软实力。”

en-us	The Chinese, she said, are “trying to make everyone forget that a lot of what we’re experiencing is because of their domestic failure.’’ 
zh-cn	她说，中国人正在“试图让所有人忘记，我们正在经历的很多事情是因为他们的国内失误”。’

en-us	So even as China provides aid to Italy and Serbia, she said, “it is asking, ‘Where are your European friends?’ and giving the impression that China acts, is coordinating, leads.’ 
zh-cn	因此，她说，就在中国向意大利和塞尔维亚提供援助的同时，“它也在问，‘你们的欧洲朋友在哪里？’，并在给人一种中国在行动、在协调、在领导的印象。”

en-us	But the United States, she said, “seems unwilling or unable to lead.’’ 
zh-cn	她说，但美国“似乎不愿意或没能力起领导作用”。 

en-us	To many European friends, the American domestic response is disheartening. 
zh-cn	对许多欧洲盟友来说，美国国内对疫情的响应令人沮丧。

en-us	The United States “seems at least as fragmented as the European Union, if not more so,’’ said Marietje Schaake, a former European legislator now at Stanford University’s Cyber Policy Center. 
zh-cn	美国“看起来至少像欧盟那样四分五裂，如果不是更四分五裂的话”，玛丽彻·沙克(Marietje Schaake)说，她曾任欧洲议会议员，现就职于斯坦福大学网络政策中心(Stanford University's Cyber Policy Center)。

en-us	“The U.S. looks more fragile in part because it lacks the social structures we have in Europe,” she added. 
zh-cn	“美国看上去更脆弱，部分原因是美国没有我们在欧洲所拥有的社会结构，”她补充说。

en-us	“There is comfort in knowing that there is a bottom, a net that will catch you.’’ Ms. Schaake is most worried “about a breakdown of what holds society together, and the risk is bigger in the U.S. than in Europe,’’ she said. 
zh-cn	“知道有一个底，有一张会兜住你的网，是一种安慰。”沙克最担心的是“将社会维系在一起的东西崩溃，美国在这方面的风险比欧洲更大”，她说。
