President-elect Joe Biden has warned the United States is still 'facing a very dark winter' and says a COVID-19 vaccine likely won't be available for months despite the news today from Pfizer that its jab may be 90 percent effective.

美國「當選」總統拜登警告說,美國仍然「面臨一個非常黑暗的冬天」,他說,儘管輝瑞製藥公司今天發布消息稱,新冠肺炎疫苗可能有90%的有效性,但新冠肺炎疫苗可能在幾個月內無法供應。

Pfizer, which developed a vaccine with German drugmaker BioNTech, are the first to release successful data based on an interim analysis from a large-scale coronavirus vaccine clinical trial.

輝瑞公司(Pfizer)與德國製藥生物科技(BioNTech)合作開發了一種疫苗,該公司率先發布了基於大規模新冠病毒疫苗臨床試驗中期分析的有效性數據。

Just hours after Pfizer's announcement, Biden made remarks from Wilmington, Delaware saying that a coronavirus vaccine approval process must be guided by science so the public can have confidence it is safe and effective.

就在輝瑞公司宣布這一消息幾個小時後,拜登在德拉瓦州威爾明頓發表講話說,新冠病毒疫苗的審批過程必須以科學為指導,這樣公眾才會相信疫苗是安全有效的。

當地時間11月9日,拜登在德拉瓦州發表演講,呼籲民眾戴上口罩,並稱這是對抗新冠疫情的「最有力武器」而不是一個政治聲明。

我們知道預防新冠病毒傳播最有效的方式就是戴口罩。在疫苗被生產之前,戴口罩仍是對抗新冠疫情「最有力的武器」。

Biden stressed, "We know the single most effective thing we can do to stop the spread of COVID is wear a mask." … until a vaccine is in production, "A mask remains the most potent weapon against the virus."

他還表示,「我要到1月20日才能任職總統。但我今天要向所有人傳達的是:無論你把票投給了誰,不論你選舉之前立場如何,你的黨派、觀點這些都不重要。如果未來幾個月大家戴口罩,我們就可以挽救成千上萬人的生命。不是民主黨或共和黨人的命,而是美國人的命。」

"I won't be president until Jan. 20 but message today to everyone is this - it doesn't matter who you voted for, where you stood before Election Day. It doesn't matter your party, your point of view.

"We can save tens of thousands of lives if everyone would just wear a mask for the next few months. Not Democrat or Republican lives, American lives," Biden highlighted.

最後,拜登呼籲美國民眾,「我懇求你們戴上口罩。為了你自己,也為了你的鄰居。戴口罩不是一個政治聲明,它能讓國家團結起來。」

"I implore you, wear a mask. Do it for yourself. Do it for your neighbor. A mask is not a political statement, but it is a good way to start pulling country together," the president-elect added.

His tone was noticeably tamer than President Donald Trump's and others across the world amid news of vaccine results.

他的語氣明顯比美國總統特朗普和世界各地其他人在得知疫苗接種結果時的語氣溫和。

隨著天氣轉涼,美國疫情愈發糟糕。華盛頓大學衛生評估研究所預測,美國疫情最嚴重的階段可能會在1月中下旬,也就是拜登上任的時候……

最後,別忘了

「在看」
