当地时间5日，特朗普接受美国广播公司（ABC）节目专访时表示，在各州相继解除限制措施后，“有可能会有一些人死亡”，并承认这是美国为了重新开放并迅速恢复经济的选择。
President Donald Trump said in an exclusive interview with ABC "World News Tonight" Anchor and Managing Editor David Muir on Tuesday that "it's possible there will be some" deaths as states roll back restrictions aimed at stopping the spread of the novel coronavirus, acknowledging that it was the choice the country faces to reopen and jumpstart the economy.
这是特朗普自疫情恶化几个月以来首次接受重大采访，主持人在节目中问道：“您是否认为这是我们面临的现实？重新开放国家会导致死亡？”
特朗普承认，“可能会有一些（死亡）”作为重新开放国家的代价：
"It's possible there will be some because you won't be locked into an apartment or a house or whatever it is," Trump said. "But at the same time, we're going to practice social distancing, we're going to be washing hands, we're going to be doing a lot of the things that we've learned to do over the last period of time."
“可能会导致一些死亡，因为你不再被关在公寓、房子之类的地方。但与此同时，我们还是会保持社交距离，勤洗手，我们还会做很多我们在过去一段时间里学到的事情 。”
“Will some people be affected? Yes. Will some people be affected badly? Yes. But we have to get our country open and we have to get it open soon,” Trump said. “有些人会受到影响吗？是。有些人受到的影响会很严重吗？是的，”特朗普说，“但是我们必须让我们的国家开放，我们必须尽快开放它。”
Trump said social distancing restrictions had led to drug overdoses and suicides. "Take a look at what's going on," he said. "People are losing their jobs. We have to bring it back, and that's what we're doing."
He encouraged the American people to view themselves as “warriors” as he urges the country to press forward toward an economic reopening, saying it’s not realistic to keep up strict social distancing guidelines in the long term.
“There'll be more death, that the virus will pass, with or without a vaccine. And I think we're doing very well on the vaccines but, with or without a vaccine, it's going to pass, and we're going to be back to normal. But it's been a rough process. There is no question about it,” Trump said.
“会有更多的死亡，但无论有没有疫苗，疫情都会过去的。而且我认为我们在疫苗方面做得很好，但是不管有没有疫苗，疫情都会过去，我们都会恢复正常。但这是一个艰难的过程，毫无疑问。”特朗普说。

While in Phoenix, Trump encouraged states to ease social-distancing measures and allow businesses to reopen, though he cautioned that it should be done "safely".
Yet, the president declined to set an example for the nation by engaging in one government-recommended safety protocol himself: wearing a face mask. As he toured the Honeywell plant, Trump wore only safety goggles.
"I created, with a lot of other very talented people and the people of our country, the greatest economy in the history of the world. The greatest that we’ve ever had," Trump said. "And then one day they said, 'we have to close our country.' Well, now it’s time to open up." 他表示，“我，以及许多非常有才华的人和我们国家的人民一起创造了世界历史上最伟大的经济，这是有史以来最伟大的经济。然后有一天他们说，‘我们必须封闭我们的国家。’我看，现在是时候开放了。”
Public-health experts have repeatedly warned the country risks a second wave of infections if restrictions are lifted too early, which could lead to another round of shutdowns and economic damage.
…he expressed optimism the virus would go away. And he added that if cases do rebound, it would be like a "fire" that could be extinguished "fast".
