WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House on Friday rejected criticism that the country has not ramped up its testing capacity enough to begin safely reopening state economies shuttered to slow the spread of the deadly coronavirus.
華盛頓（路透社）-白宮週五拒絕接受就其沒有提高測試病毒能力以至於無法安全地重新開放之前為緩解新冠病毒而關閉的各州經濟的批評。
The remarks came a day after President Donald Trump unveiled new guidelines for U.S. states to emerge from the shutdown in a staggered, three-phase approach that relies on robust testing capabilities.
此前一天，唐納德·特朗普總統公佈了新的指導方針，要求美國各州以強大的測試能力為基礎，交錯並分成三個階段從停產中恢復。
“We believe today that we have the capacity in the United States to do a sufficient amount of testing for states to move into phase one in the time and manner that they deem appropriate,” Vice President Mike Pence said at the daily White House briefing.
副總統邁克·彭斯在每日白宮簡報會上說：“我們相信美國有能力在進行足夠測試的基礎上，使得各州以他們認為適當的時間和方式及時進入第一階段。”
Despite mounting coronavirus deaths, Trump has been under pressure to reopen the economy, as businesses closures have driven 22 million Americans to seek unemployment benefits and fueled protests in some states by demonstrators calling for the lockdowns to be lifted.
儘管死於新冠病毒的人數不斷增加，但特朗普仍承受著重新開放經濟的壓力，因為企業倒閉使得2200萬美國人尋求失業救濟，並在一些州的示威者抗議中呼籲要求取消封鎖。
Trump, who hoped to base his campaign for reelection in November on a strong economy, on Friday reiterated his insistence that the burden was on states to boost testing, saying: “It’s going to be up to the states to use that capability.”
希望在11月的競選中基於強勁經濟而連任的特朗普在週五重申，他堅持要求各州加速測試，並表示：“是否使用測試能力取決於各州。”
“The states have local points where they can go and the governor can call the mayors and the mayors can call representatives and everything is perfect and that’s the way it should work and always should work,” Trump said.
特朗普說：“各州都有自己可以做的事情，州長可以要求市長，市長可以要求各代表，使得事情變得完美，這才是並且永遠應該是正確的處理方式。”
Governors and lawmakers have pushed back, arguing that testing should be more widespread and that the federal government should continue to pitch in, before they can begin to think about reopening.
州長和議員已經退縮，認為測試應該更廣泛地進行，聯邦政府應該繼續介入，然後他們才可以考慮重新開放。
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said earlier on Friday that he needed federal help to ramp up testing and reopen his state’s economy, criticizing the Trump administration for failing to support expanded testing or provide enough funding to states.
紐約州州長安德魯·庫莫（Andrew Cuomo）週五早些時候表示，他需要聯邦政府的幫助以加快測試並重新開放該州的經濟，批評特朗普政府未能支持快速擴張的測試或向各州提供足夠的資金。
“Is there any funding so I can do these things that you want us to do? ‘No’,” Cuomo told a daily briefing. “That is passing the buck without passing the bucks.”
“有資金支持我做您希望我們做的事情嗎？‘不’，”庫莫在每日簡報中說，“那是在不推卸責任的情況下推卸責任。”
According to the new federal guidelines, states must have “robust testing” programs in place for at-risk healthcare workers before reopening.
根據新的聯邦指導方針，各州在重新開放之前必須為有風險的醫護人員制定“穩健測試”計劃。
Even as some states have seen a decline in new cases and deaths, the outbreak has sickened nearly 700,000 people and killed more than 35,000 people in the United States alone.
即使有些州的新病例和死亡人數有所下降，但僅在美國，疫情的爆發就已經使近70萬人患病並造成3.5萬多人死亡。
Anthony Fauci, the top U.S. infectious diseases expert, said on Friday that Senate Democrats asked a lot of reasonable questions in a call earlier in the day including whether there were enough tests to go through this first phase.
美國頂級傳染病專家安東尼·福奇（Anthony Fauci）週五表示，參議院民主黨人在當天早些時候的電話會議中提出了許多合理的問題，包括是否有足夠的測試可確保通過第一階段。
Fauci acknowledged there are still areas to improve on testing, but a lot of the issues have been corrected or will be corrected. “We have to figure out how do we close that gap,” he said.
福奇承認測試仍有需改進空間，但是許多問題已被糾正或將得到糾正。他說：“我們必須弄清楚如何縮小差距。”
“Testing is a part - an important part - of a multifaceted way that we are going to control and ultimately end this outbreak ... But the emphasis that we’ve been hearing is essentially ‘Testing is everything.’ And it isn’t,” he added.
他補充說道：“測試是我們控制並終結此次疫情爆發的多種方式中的重要的一環。但我們一直在強調的重點是'測試就是一切'，但測試並不是一切“ 。
