随着冠状病毒在美国传播的紧张态势，川普总统终于向美国国民发表了重要讲话，下面小编就把讲话内容摘录如下，让同学们也来学学美国人的地道口语表达：
My fellow Americans: Tonight, I want to speak with you about our nation’s unprecedented response to the coronavirus outbreak that started in China and is now spreading throughout the world.
美国同胞们，今晚，我就这场自中国爆发，已经在世界各地蔓延的新冠状肺炎发表讲话，宣布我们前所未有的应对措施。
Today, the World Health Organization officially announced that this is a global pandemic.We have been in frequent contact with our allies, and we are marshalling the full power of the federal government and the private sector to protect the American people.
今天，世界卫生组织正式宣布这是一场全球大流行。我们与盟友保持频繁联系，并正在进行评估和调动政府的全部力量，来保护美国人民。
This is the most aggressive and comprehensive effort to confront a foreign virus in modern history. I am confident that by counting and continuing to take these tough measures, we will significantly reduce the threat to our citizens, and we will ultimately and expeditiously defeat this virus.
这是现代历史上攻克外国病毒的最艰巨而全面的努力。我确信，通过依靠并继续采取这些严格措施，我们将显着减少（病毒）对人民的威胁，并最终迅速击败该病毒。
From the beginning of time, nations and people have faced unforeseen challenges, including large-scale and very dangerous health threats. This is the way it always was and always will be. It only matters how you respond, and we are responding with great speed and professionalism.
从一开始，各国及其人民都面临着前所未有的挑战，包括大规模的、非常危险的健康威胁。病毒就是毒，不会改变，能改变的是我们如何应对，我们（美国政府）在以极为迅速的和专业精神进行应对。
Our team is the best anywhere in the world. At the very start of the outbreak, we instituted sweeping travel restrictions on China and put in place the first federally mandated quarantine in over 50 years. We declared a public health emergency and issued the highest level of travel warning on other countries as the virus spread its horrible infection.
我们的团队在世界上首屈一指，疫情爆发之初，我们就对中国实行了全面的旅行禁令，并启动了联邦政府50多年来第一项隔离措施。由于病毒感染惊人，我们宣布了公共卫生紧急状态，并对其它国家发出了最高级别的旅行警告。
And taking early intense action, we have seen dramatically fewer cases of the virus in the United States than are now present in Europe.
由于我们尽早采取紧急行动，现在美国的病例大大少于欧洲。
The European Union failed to take the same precautions and restrict travel from China and other hotspots.As a result, a large number of new clusters in the United States were seeded by travelers from Europe.
而欧盟未能采取同样的预防措施，对中国和其它疫区进行旅行限制，结果来自欧洲的旅行者在美国大量进行群聚传播。
After consulting with our top government health professionals, I have decided to take several strong but necessary actions to protect the health and wellbeing of all Americans.
在咨询了政府的高级卫生专家之后，我决定采取一些有力的、必要的行动，以保护所有美国人的健康。
To keep new cases from entering our shores, we will be suspending all travel from Europe to the United States for the next 30 days. The new rules will go into effect Friday at midnight. These restrictions will be adjusted subject to conditions on the ground.
为了防止新病例进入我国，未来30天内我们禁止所有从欧洲到美国的旅行。新规定将于周五午夜生效，这些限制将根据当地情况进行调整。
There will be exemptions for Americans who have undergone appropriate screenings, and these prohibitions will not only apply to the tremendous amount of trade and cargo, but various other things as we get approval. Anything coming from Europe to the United States is what we are discussing. These restrictions will also not apply to the United Kingdom.
这些禁令不仅适用于大量的贸易和货物，而且批准后还适用于其它情况，我们目前的（限制）对象是从欧洲到美国的任何（人或物），但经过适当筛查的美国人将获得豁免，这些限制也不适用于英国。（编者注：特朗普在发表讲话1小时后推文提醒说：“请记住，这对所有国家和企业都非常重要，贸易活动绝不会受到欧洲30天旅行限制的影响；限制令制止的是人而不是货物。”）
At the same time, we are monitoring the situation in China and in South Korea. And, as their situation improves, we will reevaluate the restrictions and warnings that are currently in place for a possible early opening.
同时，我们正在检视中国和韩国的疫情。随着情况的改善，我们将重新评估目前的限制和警告，有可能提前解除。
Earlier this week, I met with the leaders of health insurance industry who have agreed to waive all copayments for coronavirus treatments, extend insurance coverage to these treatments, and to prevent surprise medical billing.
本周初，我会见了健康保险行业的领袖，他们同意放弃新冠状病毒治疗的所有自付费用，并为了防止产生意外的医疗费，他们同意将保险范围扩大到新冠病毒治疗领域。
We are cutting massive amounts of red tape to make antiviral therapies available in record time. These treatments will significantly reduce the impact and reach of the virus.
我们削减政府大量的繁文缛节，在创纪录的短时间内提供抗病毒治疗，这些作法将大大减少病毒的影响和传播范围。
The vast majority of Americans: The risk is very, very low. Young and healthy people can expect to recover fully and quickly if they should get the virus. The highest risk is for elderly population with underlying health conditions. The elderly population must be very, very careful.
对绝大多数美国人来说，感染病毒的风险非常非常低。年轻人和健康人如果感染该病毒，他们应该能够迅速地完全康复。具有潜在健康问题的老年人是最高风险人群，他们必须非常非常小心。
In particular, we are strongly advising that nursing homes for the elderly suspend all medically unnecessary visits.In general, older Americans should also avoid nonessential travel in crowded areas.
具体而言，我们强烈建议老年人护理院暂停所有不必要的医疗就诊，老年人也应避免在拥挤的地区进行不必要的旅行。
My administration is coordinating directly with communities with the largest outbreaks, and we have issued guidance on school closures, social distancing, and reducing large gatherings.
美国政府正在直接与疫情爆发最严重的社区进行协调，我们已发布有关停课、社会疏远和减少大型聚会的指南。
Smart action today will prevent the spread of the virus tomorrow.
今天的明智行动，将阻止明天的病毒传播！
Finally, I am calling on Congress to provide Americans with immediate payroll tax relief. Hopefully they will consider this very strongly.
最后，我呼吁国会向美国人立即减免工资税，希望他们会认真考虑这一点。
