纽森在新闻发布会上说：“在加利福尼亚州，我们需要弯曲曲线。”。“这里有社会契约。我认为，人们认识到需要做更多的事情。他们将根据自己的情进行调整和适应。”
He added, “This is a moment we need to make tough decisions. This is a moment where we need some straight talk and we need to tell people the truth.”
他补充道：“这是我们需要做出艰难决定的时刻。现在我们需要直言不讳地告诉人们真相。”
The order took effect at midnight Friday, but what exactly does it entail?
这项命令在星期五午夜生效，但具体要求是什么？
The order has forced the closure of dine-in restaurants, bars and nightclubs, entertainment venues, gyms, public events and gatherings, and convention centers, according to the California state government website.
据加利福尼亚州政府网站报道，该法令已强制关闭餐馆、酒吧和夜总会、娱乐场所、健身房、公共活动和集会以及会议中心的用餐场所。
Services and businesses that have been deemed “essential”-- such as gas stations, pharmacies, grocery stores, banks and laundromats--will be allowed to stay open, as well as “law enforcement and offices that provide government programs and services.”
被视为“必不可少”的服务和企业，如加油站、药店、杂货店、银行和自助洗衣店，以及“执法部门和提供政府方案和服务的办公室”，将被允许继续营业
The order also asks Californians who work in more than a dozen federally-designated “critical infrastructure sectors” -- ranging from defense to nuclear reactors – to keep reporting to their jobs.
该命令还要求在十几个联邦指定的“关键基础设施部门”（从国防到核反应堆）工作的加州人继续向工作汇报。
“I order that Californians working in these 16 critical infrastructure sectors may continue their work because of the importance of these sectors to Californians’ health and well-being,” Newsom wrote in his order.
纽森在命令中写道：“我命令在这16个关键基础设施部门工作的加州人可以继续工作，因为这些部门对加州人的健康和福祉非常重要。”。
He added the sectors are considered “so vital to the United States that incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating effect on security, economic security, public health or safety, or any combination thereof.”
他补充说，这些部门被认为“对美国非常重要，丧失工作能力或遭到破坏将对安全、经济安全、公共卫生或安全，或其任何组合产生削弱性影响。”
