福克斯新闻 共和党全国代表大会本周举行(2)

Joe Biden responded. He obviously the president calls him Sleepy Joe. He calls them Slow Joe. He felt good about his performance last week. A lot of people gave him very high marks for his speech the other night. Here's what he said when he was asked about the names and the creed¹ - and the way that the president paints him. Watch this. Watch me, Mr. President, watch me. Look at us both, what we say, what we do, what we control, what we know, what kind of shape we're in. They're in pretty good shape in the polls, Mercedes. And he says, just watch me. Watch what I do over the course of the next 71 days. Well, what we've watched so far of Joe Biden has been one gaffe² after the other, and we've also seen a candidate who barely leaves his basement. He doesn't give too much time to any of the media. Definitely no hard interviews, Martha. I'm still waiting for this interview between you and Joe Biden at some point. So, am I. And that's simply not happening. We're working on it, Mercedes. That's simply not happening. We are working on it.

乔·拜登回应了，总统先生称他为“瞌睡虫乔”、“慢吞吞乔”。他对自己上周的表现感觉良好，许多人对他那晚的演讲给予很高的评价。当有人问到他的名望和信条时，他是这么说的——总统先生是如何描述他的。请看。看我，总统先生，看我。看看我们吧，我们说的话、做的事、控制和知道的东西，还有我们的状态。这些在民意测验的结果中都表现得还不错，梅赛德斯。他说，看看我吧，看看我在接下来的71天里都能做些什么。嗯，我们目前看到乔·拜登接连犯下过失，我们还看到了一个几乎不离开大本营的总统候选人，他不怎么接受媒体采访。他就没有接受过认真的采访，玛莎。我还在等待你采访乔·拜登呢。我也是。这真的没有发生过。我们在努力做呢，梅赛德斯。这真的没有发生过。我们在努力呢。

And for President Trump³, his goal has been to constantly communicate to the American people of his great accomplishments⁴, even during this very difficult time of the global pandemic, making sure he's delivering that message of saying, we are making progress to develop a vaccine⁵, we're taking steps to ensure that we rebuild this economy and make sure we're helping⁶ the American people -- Before I let you go; he's being accused of rushing that vaccine before it's ready. Some scientists came out and talked about that and that he just wants to get it out before the election for his own political purpose. What do you say to that? Like, that's simply outrageous⁷. This president has understood from day one that we needed to work quickly, and that's why he put together this great group of health experts to work on operation warp⁸ speed, focus on getting the therapeutics necessary, the testing capabilities⁹ that we need, and the resources out to the state and local governments. Of course, we want to see a vaccine developed. That's why we have these investments being made in our pharmaceutical¹⁰ companies, as well as these several clinical trials that they're going through right now. So, I think we're seeing -- OK, Mercedes, thank you. Major progress on that end. All right. Thanks, Mercedes. Thank you. Thanks for coming in tonight.

对于特朗普总统而言，他的目标是与美国人进行不间断的交流，谈他的伟大成就，甚至在全球疫情极为严峻的时候也是如此，以确保他传达出“我们在研发疫苗上取得了进展”的消息，我们正采取措施确保实现经济复苏，保证我们是在帮助美国人——在我和你结束通话之前；他被指控在疫苗研发成功以前猛赶进度。一些科学家指出了这一点，说他出于政治目的，想在大选之前把疫苗研发出来。你怎么说？这种说法真是令人无法容忍，总统先生从第一天就明白，我们需要迅速研发疫苗，这就是为什么他要组建起健康专家小组进行“曲速行动”、确保人们能得到必要的治疗、达到我们所需的检测能力、并保证各州和当地政府的资源是充足的。当然了，我们想看到疫苗能够研发出来，这就是为什么我们投资了制药公司和这些他们正在进行的临床试验。我认为我们能看到巨大的进步。好的，梅赛德斯，谢谢你。好的，谢谢你，梅赛德斯。谢谢你。感谢你今晚能来。
