一位耶鲁大学的精神科领先学者称，唐纳德·特朗普“表现出许多患有危险性精神损伤症的征兆”，可能危及美国社会的存亡。

　　In an exclusive interview with The Independent, Yale University’s Dr Bandy Lee said she had seen a “marked surge” in violence among her own patients since the day of Mr Trump’s election, blaming his strong rhetoric.

　　耶鲁大学的Brandy Lee教授接受了《独立报》的公开采访，她称，自从特朗普当选总统之日起，她的病人普遍表现出“显著上升”的暴力倾向，这都归咎于特朗普的“强硬说辞”。

　　The lecturer, a former Harvard research fellow and chief resident at Massachusetts general hospital, was defending experts at an event she organised after they called the President “dangerous” and “delusional”.

　　这位教授是哈佛大学的前研究学者，麻省综合医院的住院总医师。日前她发起了一项活动，与数名专家一起力图证明特朗普具有“危险倾向”和“妄想症”。

　　The claim led one Republican politician to accuse them of “throwing ethical standards out the window because they cannot accept the election results”.

　　针对他们的言论，一位共和党的官员指责他们“由于不能接受选举的结果，就将道德准则抛到了九霄云外。”

　　But Dr Lee insisted she and the panellists had people’s safety foremost in mind and that their judgement was not politically-motivated.

　　可是Lee教授称，自己和众同志学者首先考虑的是人民的安全，他们的判断并不是出于政治原因。

　　Asked whether she had similar fears under Barack Obama’s presidency, she said: “No. None of us had this level of concern.”

　　当被问及“巴拉克·奥巴马当选总统时是否有同样的焦虑”时，她说，“没有。我们都没有考虑过这个层面的问题”。
