en-us	Minister Ma Hui Gives Live Interview on Sky News' News Hour

zh-cn	2020年4月6日，驻英国使馆马辉公使就中国抗击新冠肺炎疫情接受英国天空新闻台“新闻时间”节目主持人马克•奥斯汀直播连线采访。
en-us	On 6 April, Minister Ma Hui gave live interview via zoom online on Sky News' The News Hour with Mark Austin regarding China's fight against the Covid-19 outbreak.

zh-cn	针对中国在疫情暴发初期是否刻意掩盖疫情、妨碍其他国家及时应对的提问，马公使表示，中国政府始终本着公开、透明、负责任的态度，与世界卫生组织以及包括美国、英国在内的国际社会及时分享疫情信息，根本不存在所谓掩盖疫情的问题。
en-us	When answering questions about the allegation that "China has not been honest or open about what was happening in the early stage of the epidemic in Wuhan", which might "prevent the other countries from responding in time", Minister Ma stressed that the Chinese government had been very open, transparent and responsible in sharing the information with WHO and international community, including the US and the UK. "There is no such thing as downplaying the outbreak. 

zh-cn	新冠肺炎病毒是一种全新病毒，定性是个严谨的科学过程，需要时间。
en-us	Covid-19 is a new virus and it takes time and a scientific process to define it. 

zh-cn	2019年12月底，武汉监测发现不明原因肺炎病例后，武汉市、湖北省卫健委、疾控中心以及中国国家卫健委、中国疾控中心积极开展工作，努力确认疫情病原。
en-us	At the end of December 2019, when cases of pneumonia with unknown causes were reported, Wuhan Health Commission, Hubei Health Commission, Hubei Center for Disease Control and Prevention, China's National Health Commission and Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention worked very hard to define this virus. 

zh-cn	期间，一度认为存在有限的人传人现象。
en-us	During this period, there was limited evidence of human-to-human transmission. 

zh-cn	后中国著名呼吸病学专家钟南山院士率领国家高级专家组到武汉开展调查，最终确认有人传人现象。
en-us	Afterwards, a national senior expert group from the National Health Commission led by the most well-known respiratory expert Zhong Nanshan was sent to Wuhan to conduct an investigation, and finally confirmed that there was a human-to-human transmission", said Ma.

zh-cn	针对李文亮医生是否因进行疫情预警受到不公正对待的提问，马公使表示，我对西方媒体反复纠缠李文亮医生案表示十分诧异。
en-us	Regarding whether Dr. Li Wenliang was unfairly treated for raising the alarm, Ma expressed his surprise that Western media kept calling Li the "whistle blower". 

zh-cn	李医生并不是所谓“吹哨人”，湖北中西医结合医院呼吸内科重症室主任张继先医生才是上报疫情第一人。
en-us	He said, "Dr. Li was not "the whistle blower". The person who first reported on possible virus outbreak to the Chinese government is Dr. Zhang Jixian, Director of ICU at Hubei Hospital of Chinese and Western Medicine. Upon her advice, regional governments of Wuhan and Hubei, and China's Central Government quickly took action. 

zh-cn	李医生是眼科，而非呼吸科医生。
en-us	Dr. Li is not a respiratory doctor but an ophthalmologist. 

zh-cn	他在微信群中分享并不完全准确的信息时，中国各级政府已经开始进行疫情处置和现场调查。
en-us	And when he was sharing incomplete information via WeChat, the governments at all levels had already taken actions to identify the virus. 

zh-cn	李医生并未被逮捕，只是受到了训诫，后被撤销。
en-us	Also, Dr. Li was not arrested, and the admonition he had received was later revoked."

zh-cn	针对为何武汉“封城”时中国政府关闭了离汉离鄂通道却未叫停中国至伦敦等地国际航班的提问，马公使表示，武汉“封城”后，湖北停止为湖北居民颁发护照，实质为了阻止湖北居民出境，中国政府也不鼓励公民出境，除非必要。
en-us	When asked about why the Chinese Government closed the road from Hubei Province to the rest of China at around the Chinese New Year but kept flights open from China to places like London, Ma said, "On the one hand, after the lockdown of Wuhan, Hubei authorities stopped issuing passports for local residents to discourage overseas travel. The Chinese government warned against overseas travel, unless it was essential. 

zh-cn	另一方面，其他国家完全可以加强边境防控，比如对入境访客进行体温检测、病毒感染筛查等。
en-us	On the other hand, governments of other countries could have taken actions such as taking temperature and virus infection testing. 

zh-cn	相关国家政府不作为却责备中国，是不正确的。
en-us	Therefore, blaming China for the inaction of other governments is unacceptable."

zh-cn	针对病毒是否来自武汉生物实验室、中国是否准备重开鲜活家禽市场的提问，马公使表示，病毒来源尚未最终确认。
en-us	In response to the questions of whether the virus came from a virology lab in Wuhan and whether China prepared to reopen the wet markets, Ma said, "The exact origin of the virus has not been determined yet. Initially, it was thought that the virus might have come from the wet market in Wuhan, because some of the patients were associated with the market. 

zh-cn	但是有些病例与该市场毫无关系。
en-us	But it is equally true that some of the patients had no contact with the wet market. 

zh-cn	世界上许多著名科学家已联合发文表示，病毒源于自然界，并非“人工合成”，即基本排除了病毒来自任何国家生物实验室的可能。
en-us	Many scientists have published joint academic papers saying that the virus was the product of the nature, so they have ruled out the possibility of a virus engineered in a lab in any country of the world."

zh-cn	关于病毒来源问题，我们主张交由科学家、医生等专业人士研究并得出结论。
en-us	"The origin of the virus should be determined by professionals like scientists and doctors. 

zh-cn	与英国媒体炒作相反，武汉华南海鲜市场目前仍处于关闭状态，是否重开有待相关部门依法作出决定。
en-us	Minister Ma also noted that, contrary to what UK media has hyped up, the wet market in Wuhan, in fact, remains closed, waiting for the government's notice for reopening. 

zh-cn	中国全国人大常委会已经审议通过了关于全面禁止非法野生动物交易、全面禁止食用野生动物、切实保障人民群众生命健康安全的决定。
en-us	The Chinese parliament has also adopted a decision to ban illegal wildlife trade and the consumption of the meats of wild animals, so as to safeguard people's life and health. 

zh-cn	中国各级政府特别是执法机关一定会坚决贯彻执行。
en-us	The law enforcement departments at different levels will enforce that decision.

zh-cn	针对中国公布的新冠肺炎疫情死亡数据是否真实可靠的提问，马公使表示，截至目前，中国新冠肺炎疫情死亡病例为3331例。
en-us	Regarding the accuracy of published death toll in China, Ma said, "At the moment, China's official figure of lives lost to Covid-19 stands at 3331. 

zh-cn	中方一直本着公开、透明、负责任的态度对外发布信息。
en-us	China has been open, transparent and responsible in sharing information with the world. 

zh-cn	世界卫生组织两次派考察专家组赴华，认为中国数据可靠。
en-us	WHO has sent two joint teams of experts to China and they believe that China's figures and statistics are credible. 

zh-cn	有人不断指责中国谎报数据，但从未拿出任何证据。
en-us	However, those who repeatedly blame China for 'lying about the figure' have never produced any evidence. 

zh-cn	与其臆测、编造，莫如遵从世卫组织的专业意见。
en-us	Therefore, it is better to rely on the expert advice of WHO rather than making up unwarranted accusations. 

zh-cn	面对疫情全球大流行，各方应该团结合作、共克时艰，而非无端指责、传播不实信息。
en-us	In face of this pandemic, all parties should be working together in solidarity rather than playing the game of blame and spreading disinformation."
