President Trump and Joe Biden clashed during their first debate on Sept. 29. 据CNN报道，当地时间10月19日，美国总统辩论委员会发布了一项新规定，当两名总统候选人的其中1名就六大辩论议题进行开场陈述时，其对手的麦克风将会被“静音”。此举可能激怒现任总统。 在公开讨论环节，两名候选人的麦克风均会被打开，任何一名候选人如果打断对方发言，那么在接下来的辩论中就将被扣减时间。 面对这一新规，特朗普对媒体表示，他认为此项规定很不公平，但他仍然愿意参加辩论。 据知情人士透露，“静麦”的决定是委员会成员一致同意的，并强调“这不是对规则的改变，而是促进两党派遵守规则。” U.S. President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden will have their microphones muted during the final presidential debate this Thursday night, the Commission on Presidential Debates announced on Monday. “I‘ll participate. I just think it’s very unfair,” said Trump, when asked by reporters about the new rule. Each candidate will be given two minutes to answer an initial question in each of the first six segments of the debate. Per the rule, the opposing candidate’s microphone will be muted during these two minutes, and will only be unmuted after the speaker has delivered his answer. According to CNN, a source close to the commission said the decision on muting the microphones was unanimously approved by the committee. 特朗普竞选团队负责主任蒂姆•墨菲指责组委会“进行规则修改将使总统辩论委员会拥有辩论的控制权，但该委员会明显偏向拜登阵营。” 拜登团队发言人杜克洛回应质疑称，特朗普是害怕面对关于他在抗击疫情不力等问题上的质疑，与往常一样，他更关心辩论规则，而不是帮助一个正在陷入危机的国家。 However, Trump’s campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh told reporters that the decision from the commission is an “attempt to provide advantage to their favored candidate.” Biden’s spokesman T.J. Ducklo responded to the Trump campaign’s complaint in the following manner: “The campaigns and the commission agreed months ago that the debate host would choose the topics. The Trump campaign is lying about that now because Donald Trump is afraid to face challenges about his treatment towards COVID-19.” 组委会为何要“静麦”？ 9月29日，在首场总统候选人辩论中，现任总统、共和党总统候选人特朗普多次打断民主党总统候选人拜登的发言，拜登则要求特朗普闭嘴并保持安静，这使得主持人需要调停二人的争吵并维持秩序。 美国脱口秀主播特雷弗•诺亚在自己的节目《每日秀》里吐槽首场美国大选辩论，场面极度混乱。 他深深地为辩论会的裁判感到遗憾，并认为组委会应该邀请美国格斗冠军赛的裁判来主持辩论赛，好让特朗普及时闭嘴。 screenshot from YouTube 9月30日，总统辩论委员会便在一份声明中表示，为确保辩论的有序进行，将修改后续辩论的规则。 按照原定计划，当地时间10月22日21时至22时30分，特朗普与拜登将在田纳西州纳什维尔举行第三场总统候选人辩论。 The first presidential debate was held on September 29, with the president interrupting many more times than Joe Biden. Biden requested Trump to be quiet, which forced the debate moderator to maintain order. Famous U.S. comedian Trevor Noah had pity on debate’s moderator and suggested the committee should invite a UFC referee to force Trump to shut up. The final debate will be held on October 22 in Nashville, Tennessee.
