當(dāng)?shù)貢r間3月2日，美國佛羅里達州州長羅恩·德桑蒂斯來到南佛羅里達大學(xué)演講，因斥責(zé)戴口罩學(xué)生“荒謬”，引發(fā)網(wǎng)友熱議。

A visibly annoyed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis admonished a group of high school students for wearing face masks at an indoor news conference Wednesday, saying it was time to stop what he called “this COVID theater.”
佛羅里達州州長羅恩·德桑蒂斯在3月2日的一場室內(nèi)新聞發(fā)布會上斥責(zé)一群戴口罩的高中生，稱是時候停止所謂的“新冠騙局”了。

The Republican governor approached the students and asked them to remove their masks as they waited for him at the press event at the University of South Florida in Tampa. The college is located in an area where the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still recommends indoor masking due to high COVID-19 risk.
在南佛羅里達大學(xué)坦帕分校的新聞發(fā)布會上，這位共和黨州長走向?qū)W生們，要求他們摘掉口罩。該校位于新冠疫情高風(fēng)險地區(qū)，美國疾病控制和預(yù)防中心仍建議在室內(nèi)戴口罩。

“You do not have to wear those masks. I mean, please take them off. Honestly, it’s not doing anything. We’ve got to stop with this COVID theater. So if you wanna wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous,” he said, letting out an audible sigh and shaking his head.
“你們不必戴口罩，摘了吧。說實話這真的沒什么用。我們必須停止這場'新冠騙局'。如果你們想戴口罩就戴著吧，但這太荒謬了”，德桑蒂斯說完深深嘆息一聲，并搖了搖頭。

在當(dāng)?shù)孛襟w發(fā)布的一段視頻中可以看到，聽完州長這番話后，在場的學(xué)生們有的摘了口罩，有的沒有摘。

One of the students, 14-year-old Kevin Brown Jr., a high school freshman, told The Associated Press he was caught off-guard by DeSantis and felt pressured to removed his mask.
14歲的高中新生凱文·布朗是在場學(xué)生之一，他告訴美聯(lián)社，德桑蒂斯的話讓他不知所措，他感到有人逼他摘下口罩。

“I was a little bit surprised at his tone,” Brown said of the governor, adding that he chose to leave his mask on because there were many unmasked people around and he was wary of getting COVID-19.
布朗表示：“我對他的語氣感到有點意外?！彼€稱選擇不摘口罩，是因為周圍有很多沒戴口罩的人，而布朗很擔(dān)心會感染新冠。

Brown’s father, Kevin Brown Sr., told WFLA-TV that he would advise DeSantis to “stop bullying kids.”
布朗的父親老凱文·布朗告訴美國全國廣播公司旗下媒體WFLA-TV，他將建議德桑蒂斯“停止霸凌孩子”。

這段視頻在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上曝光后，引起了美國網(wǎng)友熱議。不少網(wǎng)友指責(zé)德桑蒂斯是在“霸凌”戴口罩的學(xué)生，孩子們有戴口罩的自由。

“一些孩子沒有屈服于這個‘惡霸’的要求。”

“表揚那些沒有屈服于壓力摘掉口罩的孩子們?！?/p>

還有網(wǎng)友表示：“不要再假裝這是自由的問題了好嗎？這些學(xué)生‘選擇’戴口罩，而州長指責(zé)他們的選擇?！?/p>

一些網(wǎng)友對于德桑蒂斯的“新冠騙局”言論感到憤怒，一位網(wǎng)友在推特中寫道：

“如今，我們生活在一個奇怪的世界。光美國就有100萬人死于新冠肺炎，而這只是無關(guān)緊要的事實。德桑蒂斯把新冠疫情稱為一場騙局！這個人沒有家人嗎？”

DeSantis, a fierce opponent of virus mask and vaccine mandates, is running for reelection and is considered to be a potential 2024 GOP presidential candidate. His opposition to coronavirus masking and vaccine mandates has drawn national attention, and his administration has banned mask mandates in schools.
德桑蒂斯是口罩和疫苗強制令的強烈反對者，他正在競選連任，被視為2024年共和黨總統(tǒng)候選人。他對口罩和疫苗強制令的反對引起了全美關(guān)注。佛羅里達州政府也禁止學(xué)校實施“口罩令”。

據(jù)美國約翰斯·霍普金斯大學(xué)發(fā)布的全球新冠肺炎數(shù)據(jù)實時統(tǒng)計系統(tǒng)，截至3月4日，全美共報告新冠肺炎確診79196008例，死亡956261例。過去24小時，美國新增確診52292例，新增死亡1743例。
