en-us	Le Yucheng: First of all, it's my pleasure to do this interview with you. It is my first interview with a foreign media during this COVID-19 situation.  
zh-cn	乐：很高兴接受你的采访，这是我在新冠肺炎疫情暴发后第一次接受外国媒体采访。 

en-us	I worked in New York for nearly four years, and I feel really sad when I see the once bustling Times Square, Broadway and Fifth Avenue have become so empty these days. 
zh-cn	我在美国纽约工作过近四年，看到曾经热闹喧嚣的时代广场、百老汇、第五大道如今空空荡荡，我真的感到很难过。 

en-us	So I want to take this opportunity to convey through NBC my heartfelt sympathies to the Americans and New Yorkers when they are in the fierce fight against the virus. 
zh-cn	我谨借此机会，通过NBC向正在与疫情战斗的美国人民、特别是纽约人民表达深切慰问。 

en-us	This morning, I woke up to learn from the news that the US has nearly one million COVID-19 cases. I feel very sad to know this.
zh-cn	今天一早，我从新闻中得知，美国新冠病毒感染者已接近100 万，令人痛心。  

en-us	Now at this critical and trying moment, China and the US must put aside all the differences, all the disagreements, just forget them, and join hands to confront our common enemy, the virus.  
zh-cn	在当前抗击疫情的关键时刻，中美两国应当搁置争议和分歧，携手应对共同的敌人——新型冠状病毒。 

en-us	I believe that together we will win and together we will make a big difference for the world. 
zh-cn	我相信，只有团结合作，我们才能共赢，才能改变世界。 

en-us	Janis Frayer: To follow your opening remarks, do you believe we are now in a situation where the virus has become too politicized? 
zh-cn	马：接着您的开场白，我的第一个问题是，您现在是否觉得疫情这个问题已经被政治化了？ 

en-us	Le Yucheng: Unfortunately, some politicians have gravely politicized the COVID-19 issue. This is not something we want to see. 
zh-cn	乐：很不幸，现在有些政客把新冠肺炎疫情这个问题极大地政治化了，这是我们不愿意看到的。 

en-us	Under the current circumstances, it is the time for solidarity, for working together to combat the virus and tide over the difficulties. It is not a time for accusation and political manipulation. 
zh-cn	当前形势下，我们应该团结一心，共抗疫情，共克时艰，而不是相互指责，去搞政治操弄。 

en-us	Janis Frayer: This is a time when people are calling for transparency on all sides. Can you take us back to the beginning of the time line here in China,  
zh-cn	马：现在大家都在呼吁各方提高透明度，能否详细介绍中国在抗击疫情之初的时间线？ 

en-us	the early days of when the cases were first being acknowledged by the CDC officials in Wuhan to when the lock down happened in Wuhan. What was happening within China's government during that period?
zh-cn	从最早武汉疾控中心通报第1起病例，直到武汉被封城的这段时间，中国政府采取了哪些举措？ 

en-us	Le Yucheng: China has been open, transparent and responsible in its COVID-19 response. 
zh-cn	乐：中国的抗疫举措是公开、透明、负责任的。

en-us	We did not cover up anything, and did not delay any efforts.  
zh-cn	中国没有任何隐瞒疫情的行为，也没有任何的延误。 

en-us	We have already publicized the time line of how we have shared the information on COVID-19. 
zh-cn	我们已经全面公布了疫情通报的时间线。 

en-us	I would like to highlight three important points in time: First, 3 January. Starting from then, China has been updating the WHO and relevant countries, including the United States, about COVID-19 on a regular basis.  
zh-cn	我想强调三个时间点：一是2020年1月3日，中方开始定期向世界卫生组织以及美国等国家主动通报疫情信息。 

en-us	On the following day, the heads of CDCs of China and the United States touched base with each other. 
zh-cn	之后第2天，中美两国疾控中心负责人就进行了沟通。 

en-us	The second one was 12 January. China timely shared with the world the whole genome sequencing of the coronavirus, which has been critical for diagnosis, treatment and vaccine development in relevant countries. 
zh-cn	二是1月12日，中国及时向世界公布了新型冠状病毒全基因组序列，为有关国家确诊、治疗及疫苗研发等提供了重要前提。 

en-us	The third one was 23 January. We put Wuhan, a city of over 10 million people, under quarantine.
zh-cn	三是1月23日，武汉实施前所未有的“封城”，将一个1000多万人口的城市“封控”起来。 

en-us	That was a momentous decision that was unseen before in our history. It was a massive action that has caught the world's attention. 
zh-cn	这是一个惊天动地、举世皆知的行动。

en-us	The US government should have become fully aware of the severity of the issue. If it were anything less serious, how could we lock down an entire city? 
zh-cn	美国政府那时候就应该很清楚病毒问题的严重性，否则我们怎么会“封城”？ 　 

en-us	As for the early stage of China's COVID-19 response, we invited a WHO-led joint expert mission for a field visit in China, which included two US medical experts.  
zh-cn	关于中国的早期疫情应对，我们已邀请世卫组织专家组来中国考察过，其中包括两位美国专家。 

en-us	The group went to Beijing, Guangzhou, Sichuan and Hubei. Following the visit, it released a comprehensive report which gives full recognition to China's response efforts.  
zh-cn	他们去了北京、广东、四川和湖北进行实地调研，并提交了全面报告，高度评价中国的应对举措。 

en-us	President Trump himself, during his phone call with President Xi Jinping and in his tweets, spoke highly of China's transparency and response efforts. He said that the data China shared was helpful for the US in COVID-19 response. 
zh-cn	特朗普总统在同习近平主席通电话时以及在他的推特中，都高度肯定中国抗疫努力和透明度，认为中国提供的数据对美国很有帮助。 

en-us	Janis Frayer: The US intelligence has suggested that China has artificially lowered the case numbers and the deaths and there were multiple revisions to the way that China was counting for coronavirus cases.  
zh-cn	马：美国情报部门多次对中国通报的数据表示质疑。他们说中国几次调整了确诊病例和死亡病例的数据。 

en-us	So is it understandable that there is some skepticism about the numbers that China has been reporting and whether they are real? 
zh-cn	那么中国到底有没有把数据报低了，这样的猜疑是否有依据？ 

en-us	Le Yucheng: You mentioned US intelligence services. As is known to all, for more than once what they said caused disasters to the world.  
zh-cn	乐：你刚才提到的美国情报部门，众所周知他们的情报已多次给世界造成灾难。 

en-us	It was the US intelligence which claimed that Iraq had "weapons of mass destruction", yet till this day those weapons are nowhere to be found. 
zh-cn	当年他们说伊拉克拥有“大规模杀伤性武器”，到现在也没有找到。  

en-us	China has been open, transparent, with good faith, and truthful when it comes to the release of data. We bear in mind our responsibility to history, to the people and to the lives lost to COVID-19. 
zh-cn	中方公布数据公开、透明、坦诚、真实，始终本着对历史负责、对人民负责、对逝者负责的原则，经得起检验。 

en-us	It is literally impossible to hide anything.There is no need for cover-ups. This is all about real people. 
zh-cn	我们没必要去隐瞒，这些数据的背后是实实在在的人，是无论如何也隐瞒不了的。 

en-us	On the contrary, some countries once said that COVID-19 was just a common flu, and in fact that is cover-up.  
zh-cn	相反，有的国家把新冠肺炎说成是流感，这才是隐瞒。 

en-us	Now we are restoring economic activities across the board and have lifted travel restrictions on Wuhan. How could we have been confident in so doing if the case numbers were artificially lowered and not real?
zh-cn	当前，中国正在全面实现复工复产，武汉已经解封，假如数字不实，我们敢这样做吗？

en-us	The revision of the case numbers was done out of a sense of responsibility.It is also a common international practice. 
zh-cn	我们对数据进行修订，正是体现了负责任的态度，这也是国际通常做法。 

en-us	To my knowledge, New York also revised its local case numbers recently. 
zh-cn	据我所知，纽约前不久也进行了数据修订。 

en-us	Challenging the truthfulness of the numbers of confirmed and fatal cases China has reported is highly disrespectful to the 1.4 billion Chinese people, especially millions of Chinese medical workers.  
zh-cn	质疑中国的确诊和死亡病例数，是对14亿中国人民，特别是数百万医护人员的极大不尊重！ 

en-us	The numbers we have released point only to the effectiveness of China's response efforts. What they reflect is China's experience, not China's cover-ups. 
zh-cn	这些数字恰恰说明我们应对得当，反映的是“中国经验”，而不是“中国隐瞒”。 

en-us	Janis Frayer: So Americans can be one hundred percent confident in the numbers? 
zh-cn	马：那么美国人民是否能对中国公布的数据100％有信心？ 

en-us	Le Yucheng: Yes, absolutely. 
zh-cn	乐：完全可以。 

en-us	Janis Frayer: There are a lot of questions that are swirling about the origin of the virus.A lot of theories about the origin of the virus.  
zh-cn	马：现在关于病毒的起源有一些猜测，也有各种各样的论调， 

en-us	How willing is China to allow an independent international investigation into where and how the coronavirus started? 
zh-cn	中国是否允许独立的国际调查组到中国实地考察，研究病毒的来源？ 

en-us	Le Yucheng: Some say that, for thousands of years, mankind has been battling against all kinds of viruses, but never seems to be able to claim an ultimate victory.  
zh-cn	乐：有人说，人类千百年来，一直在同病毒作斗争，但从未真正战胜过病毒。 

en-us	Viruses can be really cunning. 
zh-cn	病毒是很狡猾的。

en-us	Their source is a serious and complex matter of science that must be studied by scientists and medical experts.  
zh-cn	病毒源头是个严肃而复杂的科学问题，需要由科学家和医学专家去研究。 

en-us	Something strange now is that a few political figures, who supposedly are economists and intelligence people, are giving sensational accounts of the source of COVID-19.  
zh-cn	但现在有个奇怪的现象，有些政客是搞经济的或是搞情报出身的，但谈起病毒溯源问题却绘声绘色。 

en-us	It is widely confirmed by experts that COVID-19 is not from labs.  
zh-cn	明明真正的专家们都不认同新冠病毒源自实验室， 

en-us	But some politicians are so insistent on the assertion of COVID-19 coming from a lab in Wuhan. Don't you think this is preposterous? 
zh-cn	但有些政客却一口咬定，还振振有词地说病毒来自武汉的实验室，这不是很可笑吗？ 

en-us	A joint statement by 27 professional experts published at the Lancet, a world-class medical journal, also reaffirms that COVID-19 has a natural origin, and is not artificially synthesized.  
zh-cn	世界顶级医学杂志《柳叶刀》上刊登权威专家的联合声明，指出新冠病毒来源于大自然，而非人工合成。 

en-us	We need to listen to experts, rather than politicians.  
zh-cn	我们要相信专家，而不是政客。 

en-us	We need to respect science and refrain from resorting to conspiracy theories. 
zh-cn	我们应该尊重科学，而不是去搞阴谋论。 

en-us	We are candid, and we are open. We support professional exchanges between scientists, including exchanges for reviewing and summarizing experiences.  
zh-cn	关于国际调查，我们是坦诚、开放的，支持科学家之间开展科研交流，包括总结经验教训。 

en-us	What we oppose, however, is unfounded charges against China. One should not accuse China first and then run so-called international investigations just to make up the evidence.  
zh-cn	我们反对的是在没有任何证据的情况下，把中国放在被告席上，事先推定有罪，然后通过所谓国际调查来寻找证据。 

en-us	This is arbitrary investigation based on the presumption of guilt. That is what we firmly oppose. 
zh-cn	这种有罪推定式的国际调查我们坚决反对。 

en-us	As I said just now, the WHO-led expert group visited Wuhan timely.  
zh-cn	刚才我提到，世卫组织专家组已第一时间到武汉考察。 

en-us	As for the Wuhan Institute of Virology, it is open to international communication. Ever since its establishment, it has received visits by many international scientists, including those from the United States.
zh-cn	武汉病毒研究所也是开放的，自成立以来已接待过包括美国在内的各国科学家。 

en-us	Just recently, the head of the Institute took an interview with a foreign media, and made it clear that the Institute has neither the intention nor the capacity to engineer any kind of virus. 
zh-cn	日前，武汉病毒研究所所长还接受了外国媒体采访，他说武汉病毒研究所既没有意愿也没有能力制造病毒。 

en-us	Janis Frayer: But could a science-based investigation satisfy some of these questions and expectations we have apparently on China's part? And perhaps help countries that are still currently fighting COVID-19, help them adapt their responses in real time? 
zh-cn	马：请问中方有没有可能同意开展以科学为依据的调查，回应外界对中国透明度的关切，而且这样的调查，是不是也能帮助其他国家更有效地应对疫情？ 

en-us	Le Yucheng: The international investigation, if there is any, should have a solid basis.  
zh-cn	乐：开展国际调查要有依据。 

en-us	Why is this investigation only targeted at China? Is there any evidence to show that China does have problems? Why isn't there any investigation of other countries? 
zh-cn	为什么这个调查只针对中国？有什么证据表明中国存在问题？为什么不去其他国家开展调查？ 

en-us	Even for the sake of reviewing for improvement, then science-wise, don't those countries with rapid spread and surge of confirmed and fatal cases have their own problems?  
zh-cn	如果要反思，从科学角度看，有的国家出现那么多确诊病例、死亡病例和扩散病例，这其中难道没有问题吗？ 

en-us	We oppose politically-driven investigation for the purpose of stigmatizing China. 
zh-cn	我们反对把国际调查政治化、对中国搞污名化。 

en-us	Janis Frayer: There have been some state media that have reported this theory that the virus was actually linked to the US military.  
zh-cn	马：我们听到有媒体报道说，病毒起源可能跟美国军方有关。 

en-us	And this is a theory that was amplified on social media by Chinese embassies, some Chinese ambassadors. Is this an official Chinese position?
zh-cn	这种说法在中国的社交媒体，包括中国官方的社交媒体账户上广为流传。请问这是中国官方观点吗？ 

en-us	Le Yucheng: Chinese government officials, the general public and individual citizens are outraged as some US political figures are using COVID-19 to slander China.  
zh-cn	乐：在中国，不管是官方、民众还是个人，都对美国一些政客借疫情肆意诋毁中国感到愤怒，可以说义愤填膺。 

en-us	They are entitled to express their feelings, to question and rebut those slanders by various means.  
zh-cn	他们有权利通过各种方式表达自己的义愤，提出质疑和反驳。 

en-us	Here in China, business leaders, customs officials and diplomats are working so hard and around the clock these days to produce and pool together supplies for COVID-19 response in the US.  
zh-cn	中国的企业家、海关人员、外交人员等每天辛辛苦苦、加班加点设法为美方抗疫生产和筹措医疗物资。 

en-us	But what we have heard all the time is bashing and slandering against China by some US politicians.  
zh-cn	而我们听到的、看到的却是美国一些高官政客对中国的谩骂和诋毁。 

en-us	Try to put yourself in our shoes: how would you feel if you were the Chinese people? Even worse, a Republican campaign memo goes so far as to advise the candidates to address COVID-19 issues by directly attacking China.  
zh-cn	你们想想，我们中国人是什么感受？更有甚者，美国共和党的内部竞选指南里，竟然提示候选人在被问及疫情问题时直接攻击中国。 

en-us	Such flagrant moves have taken political manipulation to a level beyond anyone's imagination. 
zh-cn	这种政治操弄已经到了赤裸裸、无底线的地步。

en-us	Of course the Chinese people find them unacceptable, and have every right to express their outrage. 
zh-cn	对此中国人心里没法接受，当然要表达愤怒。 

en-us	Le Yucheng: Are you suggesting an international investigation on the relevant disinformation? China's position is clear.
zh-cn	乐：你觉得应该对有关假消息搞国际调查吗？中方的立场很清楚。 

en-us	This virus is cunning, and its source is a complex issue that has to be addressed by scientists rather than politicians. 
zh-cn	因为病毒很狡猾，应该由科学家和医学专家去解开这个谜，而不是由政客来做。　

en-us	Janis Frayer: You started our conversation talking about your time living in the US and being very concerned for friends who are there. What is your view on how the US has handled the pandemic? 
zh-cn	马：您刚才提到曾在美国工作过一段时间，请问您如何看待美国处理新冠肺炎疫情的方式？ 

en-us	Le Yucheng: I don't want to comment on the COVID-19 response in the US, otherwise I would run the risk of "interfering in US domestic politics".  
zh-cn	乐：美国国内的事我这儿就不说了，说了有“干涉内政” 之嫌。 

en-us	But since you raised this question, I would like to put forward to the US government this suggestion: better find the real enemy in the future.  
zh-cn	但既然你问我，我想给美国政府提一个建议，就是今后美国一定要找准，谁是真正的敌人。 

en-us	The National Security Strategy that the US issued at the end of 2017 described China as a "strategic competitor". Some in the US used that as a basis to paint China as an enemy, clamoring for a whole-of-government and multi-pronged posture against China. 
zh-cn	2017年底美国《国家安全战略报告》将中国定义为“战略竞争者”，有些人据此将中国视为敌人，并拉开架势要全政府、全方位对付中国。 

en-us	What has turned out to be now is that the true enemy of the US is COVID-19, not China. The virus has claimed 56,000 lives in the US.  
zh-cn	但现在发现，真正对美国构成威胁、迄今已夺走56000多美国人性命的是病毒，不是中国。 

en-us	China is a partner fighting the virus alongside the US.  
zh-cn	中国是美国抗击疫情的战友和伙伴。 

en-us	If the US had taken the virus and other non-traditional security threats as its major enemies since 2017, things might have been different today in the US and beyond. 
zh-cn	如果美国在2017年将病毒等非传统安全挑战作为主要敌人来应对，那美国和世界可能就不会是今天这个样子。 

en-us	It reminds me of one famous saying from Chairman Mao Zedong: a first-order question in revolution is to discern the true enemies and true friends. 
zh-cn	我想起毛泽东主席的一句话：谁是我们的敌人，谁是我们的朋友，这是革命的首要问题。 

en-us	I hope that in the future, the United States will identify the true enemy with greater precision, and will not mistake partners as opponents again. 
zh-cn	我希望美国今后要找准真正的敌人，不要再错把战友当对手。 

en-us	Janis Frayer: Is China willing to accept a degree of responsibility for how the virus spread and how it became a global pandemic? This is certainly a question on the minds of a lot of Americans, not just politicians. 
zh-cn	马：现在很多美国人，不仅仅是美国政客，都在思考中国是否应该在一定程度上为病毒扩散成全球大流行病负一定的责任？ 

en-us	Le Yucheng: I must first correct your framing of the question. COVID-19 was not caused by China. It is a natural disaster.China is a victim, not an accomplice to it. 
zh-cn	乐：我首先要纠正一下，中国没有造成疫情，疫情是天灾，中国也是病毒的受害者，而不是病毒的同谋。 

en-us	China has contributed to the global efforts against COVID-19, and has been a partner of the world along the way.  
zh-cn	中国是国际抗疫合作的贡献者、合作者。 

en-us	A virus can come and go without any trace. It can appear in any place in the world.  
zh-cn	病毒神出鬼没，可能出现在任何地方。 

en-us	Holding China accountable for the spread of COVID-19, or even demanding reparations from China, is a preposterous political farce.  
zh-cn	向中国追责、赔偿纯粹是荒唐的政治闹剧。 

en-us	It has no legal basis. 
zh-cn	首先于法无据。

en-us	These is no international law that supports blaming a country simply for being the first to report a disease.  
zh-cn	国际上没有哪条法律支持向首先报告疫情的国家追责， 

en-us	Neither does history offer any such precedent. 
zh-cn	历史上也没有这样的先例。 

en-us	Second, it runs counter to common sense.  
zh-cn	其次于理不通。 

en-us	China was among the countries hit by the first wave of COVID-19. China has suffered enormous losses and made big sacrifices in curbing the virus.  
zh-cn	中国遭到疫情第一波冲击，付出巨大代价和牺牲遏制疫情， 

en-us	We have gathered important experience, gained precious time and made a big contribution for the world's battle against the virus. What China deserves is fair recognition, not groundless accusation. 
zh-cn	为全球抗疫赢得了时间，积累了宝贵经验，作出了巨大贡献，应该得到公正对待而不是责难。 

en-us	The unreasonable and legally unfounded demand for China's reparations is not different from blackmail.  
zh-cn	既然要中国赔偿既不合理也不合法，那同不法之徒敲诈勒索有什么区别？ 

en-us	The intention is nothing but shifting blame to China for the inadequate response of someone else. Blame game finds little support, and ends up nowhere. 
zh-cn	要中国赔偿无非是想把自身抗疫不力的责任转嫁到中国身上，这种“甩锅”把戏不得人心，也不可能得逞。 

en-us	Janis Frayer: With an increasingly negative view of China in the United States given this extraordinary situation,  
zh-cn	马：当前，尤其是在新冠肺炎疫情期间，美国对华看法日趋负面。 

en-us	with it now appearing as though President Trump is molding part of his re-election campaign along an "Anti- or Blame China" strategy, 
zh-cn	特朗普总统在竞选时，似乎越来越多地在责难中国。 

en-us	what is your outlook for US-China relations, particularly in an election year? 
zh-cn	在此背景下，您如何看待美中关系前景？ 

en-us	Le Yucheng: Inside the United States, there are some negative views or comments with regard to China.  
zh-cn	乐：美国国内的确有一些对华负面论调。 

en-us	But I also know that many Americans with fair judgment are calling for more cooperation with China. They oppose decoupling and a new Cold War.  
zh-cn	与此同时，很多有识之士都在呼吁中美要加强合作，反对“脱钩”和“新冷战”。 

en-us	The China-US relationship, being such an important relationship between two major countries, should not be defined or handled in a way that serves only the purpose of one election.  
zh-cn	我们始终认为不能用一次选举来定义和处理如此重要的一组大国关系， 

en-us	Nor should election be used as an excuse to shift groundless blame to China, undermine China-US cooperation, or pit the two peoples against each other. 
zh-cn	更不应为了大选“甩锅”中国，破坏两国合作，造成两国人民对立。 

en-us	That is simply shortsighted and irresponsible.  
zh-cn	这样做极其短视，也不负责任。 

en-us	Whatever differences or disagreements between China and the US, they look pale when we consider the well-being of the Chinese and American peoples and their shared aspiration for a better future. 
zh-cn	中美之间矛盾分歧再大，也大不过两国人民的福祉和对美好未来的追求。 

en-us	Our two countries, China and the United States, can and should engage in cooperation. 
zh-cn	中美完全可以开展合作。 

en-us	The United States is making America great again, and China is pursuing national rejuvenation. 
zh-cn	美国提出“让美国再次伟大”，中国要实现“中华民族伟大复兴”的目标， 

en-us	These are two historical processes that could run hand in hand without conflicting each other. China and the US are actually in a good position to help each other succeed and achieve greatness together.  
zh-cn	这两个历史进程完全可以并行不悖，中美完全可以相互成就，实现共同“伟大”。 

en-us	We must not let this relationship be led astray or brought to a wrong course by a small bunch of extreme forces. At stake is the future of our two peoples. 
zh-cn	我们要有这个智慧和信心。千万不要被极端势力带偏方向，带错节奏，葬送两国人民的前途命运。 

en-us	Looking ahead, I think the two countries must first of all work together to advance a relationship based on coordination, cooperation and stability, which is an important common understanding reached between the two presidents.  
zh-cn	对于下一步中美关系发展，我认为，双方首先要落实两国元首达成的共识，共同推进以协调、合作、稳定为基调的中美关系。 

en-us	Specifically, the two sides should move forward in three areas and reject three ill-tendencies. We need to step forward to: 
zh-cn	具体来讲要做到“三要”、“三不要”。 

en-us	first, maintain frequent communication between our leaders as well as dialogue and coordination between the relevant departments on both sides;  
zh-cn	即一要保持两国领导人经常沟通和两国有关部门的对话和协调； 

en-us	second, advance practical cooperation in all areas;  
zh-cn	二要深化双方各领域务实合作； 

en-us	and third, promote international cooperation on COVID-19 at multilateral platforms.  
zh-cn	三要加强两国在多边领域的国际抗疫合作。 

en-us	At the same time, we must reject: No.1, stigmatizing China and politicizing the virus issue;  
zh-cn	“三不要”就是不要对中国搞污名化、把疫情政治化； 

en-us	No.2, disruptions or damage to bilateral cooperation;  
zh-cn	不要人为破坏、干扰两国合作大局；

en-us	and No.3, a zero-sum game in the context of COVID-19. 
zh-cn	不要借疫情搞零和竞争。 

en-us	Janis Frayer: The US has, or President Trump, has said that he's going to withdraw funding to the World Health Organization in large part because what is seen as the organization's deference to China, that the WHO is too pro-Beijing. How will China respond to those accusations. 
zh-cn	马：特朗普总统宣布暂停对世界卫生组织的资金支持，这很大程度上是因为世卫组织和中国走得近，中方对此有何回应？ 

en-us	Le Yucheng: The WHO has done a great job in living up to its duties and responsibilities. It is very professional, very responsible and highly efficient. 
zh-cn	乐：世卫组织很好地履行了自身职责，表现得很专业、务实、高效。  

en-us	It does not center around any particular country. It is devoted to protecting lives and health of mankind. Its performance has been widely applauded by the international community. 
zh-cn	它不以任何一个国家为中心，而是以人类的健康和生命为中心，得到国际社会广泛好评和赞赏。 

en-us	Besides the United States, I have not heard any leaders and any international organizations criticizing WHO's performance.  
zh-cn	除了美国，我没听说有哪个国家的领导人、或是哪个国际组织对世卫组织有什么不满。 

en-us	The US decision to halt financial contribution to the WHO is not a wise one.  
zh-cn	美国暂停向世卫组织供资是不理智的。 

en-us	At this critical moment, what the US needs to do is to focus on combating the virus, instead of opening fire at the WHO which is coordinating the international efforts in fighting the virus. 
zh-cn	在当前抗疫战争的关键时刻，美国应该集中力量抗疫，而不是将炮火对准世卫组织这样一个协调国际抗疫斗争的机构。 

en-us	By so doing, the United States actually has chosen to pit itself against the whole world. Such moves will only undermine WHO's efforts to coordinate the international response and save lives,  
zh-cn	美国政府这么做，实际上是站到了全世界的对立面，而且还会对世卫组织协调全球抗疫行动、挽救生命的努力， 

en-us	especially the response in developing countries, African countries in particular. 
zh-cn	特别是对非洲等发展中国家抗疫斗争造成严重干扰和破坏。

en-us	I don't understand what logic the US is following. 
zh-cn	我不知道美方遵循的是什么逻辑。　 

en-us	Janis Frayer:  Are you satisfied, is China satisfied with its response to the outbreak here, to the epidemic in China and to the pandemic that's spread around the world? 
zh-cn	马：在疫情全球蔓延的背景下，中方对于过去几个月本国抗疫努力是否感到满意？ 

en-us	Le Yucheng: China has gone through a lot in the past months,  
zh-cn	乐：过去几个月，中国经历了非常困难的阶段。 

en-us	and has finally stemmed the spread,along the way, considerable experience has been accumulated. 
zh-cn	我们成功遏制住了疫情，积累了不少经验： 

en-us	First, we have put people's lives front and center.  
zh-cn	一是以人为本、生命至上。 

en-us	We have adopted a people-centered approach.We spared no efforts and no resources in saving lives, without worrying too much about economic cost. 
zh-cn	为了挽救生命，我们不计成本、不惜代价，甚至也没太多考虑经济损失。 

en-us	If lives are lost, what's the point of money? We have always taken saving lives our utmost priority.  
zh-cn	人都没了，钱还有什么用？我们始终将挽救生命放在第一位。 

en-us	In Wuhan, for instance, more than 10 COVID-19 patients over 100 years old were cured. 
zh-cn	在武汉，我们甚至挽救了10多位百岁以上的老人。 

en-us	Second, as a nation we looked out for each other.
