中国驳斥美国能源部新冠病毒实验室泄漏说China Dismisses Latest Claim That Lab Leak Likely Caused CovidDAVID PIERSON2023年2月28日 中国武汉病毒研究所。 THOMAS PETER/REUTERSChina accused the United States of politicizing the coronavirus pandemic again on Monday, in response to reports that the Energy Department had concluded that an accidental laboratory leak had likely triggered the spread of Covid worldwide. 周一，中国再次指责美国将新冠病毒大流行政治化，以回应之前的有关报道，即美国能源部得出了结论，认为新冠病毒的全球传播是由实验室的意外泄漏所致。 The rebuke marks the latest salvo in a running war of words between the two countries over the origins of the virus, an issue that has taken on as much of a political dimension as a scientific one as the rivalry between the two superpowers deepens. 这一指责标志着两国就病毒起源展开的最新一波唇枪舌战，随着中美这两个超级大国之间的竞争加剧，该问题在政治层面的影响力变得跟科学层面的一样大。 “Covid tracing is a scientific issue that should not be politicized,” Mao Ning, a Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman, said of the Energy Department’s conclusion. She then repeated calls for the United States to “stop defaming China” by raising the lab leak theory. “新冠病毒溯源是科学问题，不应当被政治化，”中国外交部发言人毛宁谈到能源部的结论时说。随后，她再次提及实验室泄漏论，呼吁美国“停止抹黑中国”。 China’s response adds to the growing friction between Washington and Beijing this month, following a spy balloon incident and U.S. accusations that China was considering supplying Russia with weapons and ammunition for use in Ukraine. 中国的回应加剧了本月华盛顿和北京之间的摩擦，此前发生了间谍气球事件，以及美国指责中国正在考虑向俄罗斯提供武器弹药用于乌克兰战争。 It also comes at a time when lawmakers in Washington are increasing their scrutiny of China with a new House select committee on competition with China. In addition, a hearing is set for Tuesday in the House Foreign Affairs Committee over how to counter the Chinese Communist Party’s “aggression.” 与此同时，华盛顿的立法者加强了对中国的审查，众议院新成立了一个与中国竞争委员会。此外，众议院外交事务委员会定于周二就如何反击中共的“攻击性”举行听证会。 The debate over where the coronavirus emerged from remains highly divisive, fueled in part by distrust over the Chinese government and its lack of transparency — as well as by anti-Chinese rhetoric and conspiracy theories fanned by the Trump administration. China has also spread conspiracy theories by suggesting Covid may have been a product of U.S. biological weapons programs. 关于新冠病毒起源的争论仍然存在高度分歧，对中国政府的不信任、中国政府缺乏透明度，以及特朗普政府煽动的反华言论和阴谋论均为原因之一。中国也在散布阴谋论，暗示新冠病毒可能是美国生物武器计划的产物。 Some scientists say the most compelling evidence available today supports the most prevalent theory, that the virus came from live animals stored at a large market in Wuhan, China. No evidence has emerged directly linking the pandemic to a lab. 一些科学家表示，目前最流行的理论拥有最有说服力的证据支持，即该病毒来自中国武汉一个大型市场的活体动物。没有证据表明大流行与实验室直接相关。 However, suspicions persist about a lab leak because of two research facilities in Wuhan that have handled highly infectious diseases: the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the Wuhan C.D.C. lab. 然而，由于武汉有两个曾处理高度传染性疾病的研究机构，人们仍然怀疑存在实验室泄漏的可能。这两个研究机构分别是武汉病毒研究所和武汉疾控中心实验室。 Some scientists say the Wuhan Institute of Virology conducted risky experiments. Shi Zhengli, the head of the lab and a top Chinese virologist, dismissed the claims of a leak in a brief interview with The Times in 2021. 一些科学家称，武汉病毒研究所进行了危险的实验。实验室负责人、中国顶级病毒学家石正丽在2021年接受《纽约时报》的简短采访时驳斥了泄漏的说法。 “How on earth can I offer up evidence for something where there is no evidence?” she said. “凭什么他没有证据的事情，我怎么去给他提供证据呢？”她说。 China has repeatedly dismissed the lab leak theory as politically motivated misinformation designed to smear China. It says the theory has no basis in scientific fact and points to a World Health Organization report released in 2021 that determined that it was “extremely unlikely” that the pandemic emerged accidentally from a Chinese laboratory. 中国多次驳斥实验室泄漏论，说这是出于政治动机的虚假信息，旨在抹黑中国。中国表示该理论没有科学事实依据，并指出世界卫生组织2021年发布的一份报告确定，这种流行病“极不可能”是从中国实验室意外出现的。 The report, which set out to investigate the origins of the coronavirus, has been the subject of much debate because China is believed to have heavily influenced its findings by appointing half of the scientists involved in the project. 这份旨在调查新冠病毒起源的报告一直备受争议，据信中国对调查结果产生了重大影响，因为参与该项目的半数科学家都由中国指派。 Faced with widespread criticism for not doing more to prevent the pandemic, China has also sought to deflect blame by spreading a conspiracy theory that the virus may have been the result of research at a U.S. military lab in Fort Detrick, Md. The claim, which was first made in March 2020, was repeated by a foreign ministry spokesman as recently as earlier this month. 面对没有采取更多措施预防大流行的广泛批评，中国还试图通过传播阴谋论来转移责任，即该病毒可能是马里兰州德特里克堡的美国军事实验室研究的产物。这一言论在2020年3月首次发布，最近在本月早些时候被外交部发言人再次提及。 At the Energy Department, new intelligence prompted it to change its position from being undecided about how the virus emerged. Officials did not share that intelligence, but said the agency made its conclusion with only “low confidence.” 在能源部，新的情报促使它改变了在病毒溯源上原本尚未决定的立场。官员们没有透露情报细节，但表示该机构以“低置信度”得出该结论。 U.S. spy agencies are not in agreement about the origins of the virus. The F.B.I. has concluded with moderate confidence that the virus traces back to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, whereas four other U.S. intelligence agencies and the National Intelligence Council have concluded with low confidence that Covid most likely emerged through natural transmission, the director of national intelligence’s office announced in October 2021. 美国间谍机构对病毒的来源意见不一。FBI得出结论认为该病毒可追溯到武汉病毒研究所，而国家情报总监办公室2021年10月宣布，其他四个美国情报机构和国家情报委员会以“低置信度”得出结论，认为新冠病毒很可能是通过自然传播出现的。 David Pierson报道中国外交政策和中国与世界的经济与文化交互。欢迎在Twitter上关注他：@dhpierson。 翻译：纽约时报中文网 点击查看本文英文版。 相关报道美能源部称新冠疫情或源自实验室泄漏2023年2月27日 中国力推美军实验室泄漏阴谋论2021年8月25日 美情报机构新冠溯源报告未下定论2021年8月30日 科学家警告称新冠溯源调查陷入停滞2021年8月26日 部分科学家反驳病毒实验室泄漏说2021年7月12日 最受欢迎香港名媛碎尸案引发轰动，其前夫等四人被捕 中国发布乌克兰战争立场文件，西方反应冷淡 美国能源部称新冠大流行可能源自中国实验室意外泄漏 白俄罗斯总统即将访华，中国对俄立场或将承受更多压力 “兔死狐悲、唇亡齿寒”：包凡事件打击中国商界信心 中国努力推动国民生育，但是否为时已晚？ 对于美国来说，中国到底有多危险？ 为何西方未能成功孤立俄罗斯 中国医保改革个人账户“缩水”，多地老年人抗议 关于中国医保运行机制及其变化，你应该知道的 国际 中国 商业与经济 镜头 科技 科学 健康 教育 文化 风尚 旅游 房地产 观点与评论 免费下载 纽约时报中文网 iOS 和 Android App 点击下载iOS App点击下载Android App点击下载Android APK © 2023 The New York Times Company.
