President Trump said Tuesday he wants to put U.S. contributions on hold to the
 Geneva-based organization, saying the body had given bad advice during the ou
tbreak.

川普星期二表示，他希望擱置美國對這家總部位於日內瓦的組織的捐款，稱該機構在疫情
爆發期間給出了錯誤的建議。

The U.S. is the biggest donor to the WHO, with contributions exceeding $400 mi
llion in 2019, according to Reuters.

據路透社報導，美國是世界衛生組織的最大捐助國，2019年的捐款超過4億美元。

Dr Bruce Aylward, a senior advisor to the WHO’s director-general, also defend
ed the organization against comments from Trump that the body is “China-centr
ic.”

川普發表有關該機構「以中國為中心」的評論，WHO總幹事的高級顧問Bruce Aylward博士
也為該組織辯護。


The WHO responded Wednesday to President Donald Trump’s threat to cut its fun
ding, saying the move would not be appropriate during the global coronavirus p
andemic.

WHO星期三回應川普威脅要削減其資金，稱此舉在全球冠狀病毒大流行期間不適當。


“We are still in the acute phase of a pandemic so now is not the time to cut
back on funding,” Dr Hans Kluge, WHO regional director for Europe, told a vir
tual briefing, according to Reuters.

WHO歐洲區域領導Hans Kluge博士在一次線上會議說「我們仍處於大流行的嚴重階段，因
此現在不是削減資金的時候。」


“It was absolutely critical in the early part of this outbreak to have full a
ccess to everything possible, to get on the ground and work with the Chinese t
o understand this,” Dr. Bruce Aylward, a senior advisor to the WHO director-g
eneral, said at the virtual briefing Wednesday, Reuters reported.

“This is what we did with every other hard hit country like Spain and had not
hing to do with China specifically.”

WHO高級顧問Bruce Aylward博士說：
「在疫情爆發的早期階段，充分利用一切可能的機會，與中國合作一起去了解絕對至關重
要。」

「這是我們對像西班牙這樣的其他受到重創的國家所做的，而與中國無關。」
