屢屢犯忌的特朗普這回又打破了一個(gè)傳統(tǒng)，他宣布將不出席今年的白宮記者協(xié)會(huì)晚宴。要知道，這一晚宴對(duì)美國(guó)的歷任總統(tǒng)可都是件大事，鮮少有總統(tǒng)缺席該晚宴，除非是死了中槍了或開(kāi)戰(zhàn)了。而就在特朗普宣布這一決定的前一天，白宮新聞發(fā)布會(huì)竟然將BBC、CNN、《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》等幾大媒體擋在門外，這是要與新聞界決裂的節(jié)奏嗎？

US President Donald Trump has announced he will not attend the White House Correspondents' Association dinner on 29 April.
美國(guó)總統(tǒng)唐納德?特朗普宣布將不會(huì)參加4月29日的白宮記者協(xié)會(huì)晚宴。

The glitzy event draws celebrities, journalists and politicians, normally including the US president.
眾多名人、記者和政界人士將會(huì)參加這一備受矚目的活動(dòng)，通常美國(guó)總統(tǒng)也會(huì)出席。

Mr Trump said he would not attend a day after the White House excluded several major broadcasters and newspapers from a press briefing.
就在白宮將幾大媒體擋在新聞發(fā)布會(huì)門外的第二天，特朗普就聲稱他不會(huì)參加白宮記者協(xié)會(huì)晚宴。

He has frequently described negative news coverage as "fake".
特朗普經(jīng)常把關(guān)于他的負(fù)面新聞報(bào)道稱作“假新聞”。

However, he has not provided any evidence for his claims.
然而，他并未就此提供過(guò)任何證據(jù)。

The announcement comes as relations between the White House and some media outlets continue to deteriorate.
特朗普此番言論正值白宮和部分媒體關(guān)系持續(xù)惡化的當(dāng)口。

On Friday, the BBC, CNN, Buzzfeed and the New York Times were among media groups barred from an off-camera informal briefing held by White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
上周五（24日），白宮發(fā)言人肖恩?斯派塞主持召開(kāi)的一場(chǎng)禁止拍照的非正式新聞發(fā)布會(huì)把BBC、CNN、Buzzfeed和《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》等一眾媒體擋在門外。

Hours before the briefing, Mr Trump had delivered a strong attack on what he called "fake news" in the media, targeting stories with unnamed sources.
就在發(fā)布會(huì)召開(kāi)前幾小時(shí)，特朗普對(duì)媒體發(fā)布的所謂“假新聞”發(fā)起強(qiáng)烈抨擊，矛頭指向那些未提及消息來(lái)源的新聞。

He said "fake news" was the "enemy of the people".
特朗普稱，“假新聞”是“人民公敵”。

Mr Trump announced his non-attendance at the correspondents' dinner via Twitter.
特朗普通過(guò)推特宣布了他不參加記者協(xié)會(huì)晚宴的決定。

He wrote: "I will not be attending the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner this year. Please wish everyone well and have a great evening!"
他寫道：“我將不會(huì)參加今年的白宮記者協(xié)會(huì)晚宴。我祝福所有人，希望他們過(guò)一個(gè)愉快的夜晚！”

Bloomberg News and the New Yorker magazine are among media outlets who have said they will not hold their usual after-parties this year.
彭博新聞社和《紐約客》雜志等幾家媒體表示今年晚宴結(jié)束后不會(huì)按往年慣例舉行聚會(huì)。

There have been some calls for journalists to boycott the event itself.
甚至還有人呼吁記者們聯(lián)合抵制白宮記者協(xié)會(huì)晚宴。

Every sitting president since 1924 has attended the correspondents' dinner at least once, according to the New York Times.
據(jù)《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》稱，自從1924年以來(lái)，每一位在任總統(tǒng)都會(huì)參加記者協(xié)會(huì)晚宴至少一次。

They traditionally make a light-hearted speech at the annual event. Former US President Barack Obama attended eight times.
傳統(tǒng)上，總統(tǒng)們都會(huì)在這個(gè)年度活動(dòng)上做一個(gè)輕松的演講。美國(guó)前總統(tǒng)奧巴馬參加了八次。

Donald and Melania Trump at the 2011 event

Mr Trump has been a regular at the dinner in the recent past.
特朗普在近幾年也是該晚宴的常客。

In 2011, Barack Obama joked that Mr Trump would turn the White House into a casino if he became president and made fun of rumours, then propagated by Mr Trump, that President Obama was not born in the US.
2011年，奧巴馬曾打趣說(shuō)，如果特朗普成為總統(tǒng)，他會(huì)把白宮變成一個(gè)賭場(chǎng)，奧巴馬還針對(duì)特朗普宣揚(yáng)的他不在美國(guó)出生的流言開(kāi)起了玩笑。

The New York businessman was shown on camera sitting stony-faced through a barrage of jokes at his expense, including some from host Seth Meyers, although he said last year that he "loved that dinner".
盡管特朗普去年聲稱自己“喜歡這個(gè)晚宴”，但從當(dāng)時(shí)拍下的視頻來(lái)看，特朗普在被取笑時(shí)一直板著個(gè)臉。那時(shí)候主持人塞斯?梅耶斯也開(kāi)了特朗普好幾個(gè)玩笑。

Many believe that the 2011 event fuelled Mr Trump's desire to enter politics and later run for office.
許多人認(rèn)為2011年的這場(chǎng)晚宴激發(fā)了特朗普進(jìn)軍政壇進(jìn)而競(jìng)選總統(tǒng)的欲望。

現(xiàn)在我們來(lái)簡(jiǎn)要回顧一下美國(guó)總統(tǒng)和白宮記者協(xié)會(huì)晚宴的不解之緣：

*The annual dinner began in 1921
這一年度晚宴始于1921年。

*With Calvin Coolidge the first president to attend, in 1924
1924年，卡爾文?柯立芝成為首位出席該晚宴的總統(tǒng)。

*Cancelled a few times, including in 1930 after the death of ex-President William Taft, in 1942 following the US entry into World War Two, and again in 1951
晚宴被取消過(guò)幾次，包括1930年美國(guó)前總統(tǒng)威廉?塔夫脫去世后，以及1942年美國(guó)加入二戰(zhàn)后，還有1951年也取消過(guò)一次。

*Rarely skipped by sitting presidents. Richard Nixon avoided it in 1972 and 1974, and Jimmy Carter in 1978 and 1980. Ronald Reagan, who was the last to miss it in 1981, did so only because he had been shot and was recovering at Camp David, but he still made contact by phone
在任總統(tǒng)很少會(huì)缺席該晚宴。理查德?尼克松1972年和1974年分別缺席過(guò)兩次，吉米?卡特也分別在1978年和1980年缺席過(guò)兩次。最近一位缺席該晚宴的總統(tǒng)是羅納爾德?里根，他1981年缺席是因?yàn)樗袠屃诉€在戴維營(yíng)康復(fù)中，但他依然通過(guò)電話和晚宴保持聯(lián)系。

*John F Kennedy threatened to withdraw unless women were allowed to attend
約翰?F?肯尼迪曾經(jīng)威脅說(shuō)，除非允許女性參加晚宴，否則他就不出席。
