"Ask the Chinese for a formal apology..." Wait … an apology? From China? “要求中国人正式道歉...” 等等... 道歉？来自中国？ "This coronavirus originated in China and I have not heard one word from the Chinese, a simple I’m sorry would do."“这种冠状病毒起源于中国，而我没有听到中国人为此说过任何话，至少该有一句简单的对不起。” And the virus originated in China? Hold on, hold on. Has Jesse Watters done his research? Maybe not. Well, I can help.病毒起源于中国？等等，等等。杰西·沃特斯做过调研吗？也许没有。那么，我可以帮忙。 Just a week ago, China's top respiratory disease expert, Zhong Nanshan, who won fame for combating the SARS epidemic in 2003, said, "Although COVID-19 first appeared in China, that DOES NOT necessarily mean it originated here."就在一周前，中国著名呼吸病学专家，因2003年抗击非典而声名鹊起的钟南山说，“虽然新冠肺炎首先出现在中国，但这并不意味着它一定发源于这里。” The virus was first thought to have originated in a seafood market in Wuhan. However, a research team led by Dr. Yu Wenbin sequenced the genome of 93 SARS CoV-2 samples provided by 12 countries and proved otherwise. Their findings suggested that the origin was not the seafood market as previously thought … it was imported from elsewhere. Where? We’re still finding that out. 这种病毒最初被认为发源于武汉的一个海鲜市场。然而，余文斌博士领导的研究小组对12个国家提供的93个SARS COV-2样本进行了基因组测序，结果证明并非如此。他们的研究结果表明，其来源并非之前所认为的海鲜市场，而是从其他地方输入的。具体来源自哪里呢？我们尚在调查中。 The first confirmed cases of H1N1 were in California in 2009. Yet it wasn't until 2016 that research confirmed the virus’s origin was Mexico/U.S.首例H1N1确诊病例于2009年在加利福尼亚州出现。然而，直到2016年，研究才证实该病毒的起源地是墨西哥/美国。 Why is Watters so sure? It sounds like there's no firm answer to the question of COVID-19 yet, so don't draw conclusions too quickly.为什么沃特斯这么肯定？听起来新冠肺炎（发源地）的问题还没有确定的答案，所以不要太快下结论。 China's efforts to fight the coronavirus outbreaks have been praised by many, including Dr. Bruce Aylward, who led a WHO team of specialists to Wuhan. He said he was convinced that the adopted measures were working. 中国抗击新型冠状病毒疫情的努力受到了许多人的赞扬，其中包括布鲁斯·艾尔沃德（Bruce Aylward）博士，他率领世卫组织专家组赴武汉调研。他说，他相信所有施行的措施都在发挥作用。 By the end of his visit, Aylward was telling the world that China's "aggressive," "tailored" and "old-fashioned" methods could set an example for the rest of the world.在行程结束时，艾尔沃德告诉世界，中国激进式的、定制式的和颇为传统的方法可以为世界其他国家树立榜样。 "What China has demonstrated is, you have to do this. If you do it, you can save lives and prevent thousands of cases of what is a very difficult disease."“中国所展示的是，你必须这样做。如果你这样做，你可以挽救生命，预防成千上万例非常棘手的疾病。” The first confirmed case of H1N1 was in the United States. It swept the globe killing as many as 575,400 people in the first year alone, according to the CDC. Did anyone ask the U.S. to apologize? 首例H1N1确诊病例发生在美国。据美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的数据，仅在第一年，它就席卷了全球，造成多达575，400人死亡。有人要求美国道歉了吗？ Although HIV was proven to have originated in Africa, did anyone ask African people to say sorry? When Columbus traveled to the "new world," bringing smallpox and syphilis, which killed countless natives, were Europeans asked to apologize? 尽管艾滋病被证明起源于非洲，但有没有人要求非洲人民说对不起？当哥伦布前往“新大陆”，带来天花和梅毒，导致无数当地人死亡时，欧洲人被要求道歉了吗？ Watters' rant unsurprisingly evoked anger on Chinese social media. On Weibo, China's equivalent of Twitter, netizens wrote: "Doesn't he feel ashamed when saying all these slanderous things about China? As a far-right American journalist, he has always held hostile views of China."毫无疑问，沃特斯的咆哮在中国社交媒体上引发了众怒。在中国的微博（相当于推特）上，网友们写道: “他说了这么多诋毁中国的话，难道不感到羞耻吗？作为一名极右翼的美国记者，他一直对中国持有敌意。” Some echoed this on Twitter: "This is the Jesse Watters that got in trouble for making the ridiculously racist episode in New York city’s China town clearly he did not learn anything from that."一些人在推特上附和道:“这是杰西·沃特斯（Jesse Waters），他因为在纽约中国城制造了可笑的种族主义事件而惹上了麻烦，显然他没有从中学到任何东西。” China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson said Watters' behavior was "ridiculous and fully exposed his arrogance, prejudice and ignorance toward China."中国外交部发言人表示，沃特斯的行为“十分荒谬，充分暴露了他对中国的傲慢、偏见和无知。” "Disease is the common enemy of mankind, and all the infected patients are victims. I’m not sure where this apology request is coming from," the spokesperson added. “疾病是人类共同的敌人，所有被感染的患者都是受害者。我不知道这个道歉的要求是从何而来，”该发言人补充说。 Here are just a few of Watters' most controversial moments:以下是沃特斯最具争议的几个瞬间: In the form of a 2016 venture into New York's Chinatown. In the heavily criticized piece, Watters turned his signature schtick on Chinese Americans, resulting in a blatantly racist segment that played on Asian stereotypes and openly mocked its subjects.沃特斯最具争议的事件之一是2016年在纽约唐人街的一番言论。在这篇受到严厉批评的文章中，沃特斯把他标志性的噱头用在了华裔美国人身上，利用了对亚洲人的刻板印象，公然宣扬种族主义，嘲弄亚裔。 On the anniversary of 9/11, Watters went to a convention for Muslim Americans to ask them about terrorism and Islamic radicals. When a woman criticized the media for linking terrorism to the Islamic religion, Watters and O'Reilly both balked at the suggestion that "Christian terrorism" could even exist.在9/11周年纪念日，沃特斯参加了一个面向美国穆斯林的会议，询问他们关于恐怖主义和伊斯兰激进分子的问题。当一名妇女批评媒体将恐怖主义与伊斯兰教联系在一起时，沃特斯和奥莱利都对“基督教恐怖主义”可能存在的说法表示反对。 O'Reilly sent Watters to Philadelphia for a tone-deaf segment about racism in which he mocked the Black Lives Matter movement, criticized political correctness and generally failed to elevate the conversation surrounding race relations in America.奥莱利派沃特斯去费城做了一段关于种族主义的演讲，他嘲笑了“黑人的命也是命”（Black Lives Matter）运动，批评了政治正确性，总体上未能提升大家对此话题的关注。 And the list goes on...等等…… As COVID-19 spreads around the world, and especially after the WHO's decision to raise its global risk assessment to "very high," what's at stake at the moment – misleading the public or learning the facts?随着新冠肺炎疫情在世界各地蔓延，特别是在世卫组织决定将其全球风险评估提高到“非常高”之后，目前哪个更重要？（舆论）误导公众还是了解事实。 推荐阅读：
