列克星顿专栏
(2). It’s messing with Texas
搅乱的德克萨斯州
(3). Greg Abbott is battling the coronavirus with one hand and his party’s lunatic fringe with the other
格雷格·雅培用一只手与冠状病毒作斗争,用另一只手搏斗政党极端分子团体
(4). 1:In the first months of the coronavirus pandemic, Greg Abbott seemed happy to let Texas’s 254 county and 1,214 city authorities take the lead.
2:And the conservative governor had little to gain by organising an economic lockdown that a minority of Republicans considered tantamount to treason.
3:The state’s vastness—with its widening contrast between rural reaches and exploding metropolises—argued for local decision-making.
4:By late March, however, with Texas still relatively unscathed by the virus, Mr Abbott’s calculation changed.
5:He struck down an effort to make mask-wearing legally enforceable in Houston.
6:He also issued orders—ahead of almost any other governor—to reopen the bars and restaurants that local officials had shuttered.
7:It must have seemed like good politics as well as economics at the time.
1:在疫情爆发的前几个月,格雷格·雅培很乐意让德克萨斯州的254个县和1214个市政府起到带头作用。
2:德克萨斯州的乡村地区和爆发性增长的都市的差距逐渐扩大,需要地方做出决策。
3:这个保守党州长组织了一次经济封锁,但是一无所获,少数共和党人认为该行为无异于叛国。
4:然而到了3月底,德克萨斯州仍然相对没有受到病毒的伤害,雅培的预测发生了变化。
5:他打击了休斯顿佩戴口罩合法化的举措。
6:而且,他比其他州长更早地下令重新开放当地官员关闭的酒吧和餐馆。
7:这在当时看来一定是个好的政治和经济举措。
(5). 1:Texas is now a centre of the viral wave sweeping the South and West.
2:The state is seeing well over 6,000 new infections a day, five times the number of a month ago.
3:And most are in Houston, where scenes reminiscent of New York in April are unfolding.
4:Last week the biggest hospital network in America’s fourth-biggest city said its intensive-care wards were almost full.
5:Mr Abbott meanwhile ordered bars and other non-essential businesses to close again, forced restaurants to cut their capacity by half and urged Texans to wear masks, as he mostly does.
6:The would-be pioneer of reopening has become the first governor to order a reclosing.
1:现在,冠状病毒的浪潮席卷美国南部和西部,德州正位于这场浪潮的中心。
2:该州每天新增感染人数超过6000人,是一个月前的5倍。
3:大多数感染病例在休斯顿,那里的场景让人想起四月的纽约。
4:上周,美国第四大城市的最大的医院网络表示,其重症监护病房几乎满员。
5:同时,雅培下令要求酒吧和其他非必要的企业再次关门,迫使餐馆客流量减半,并敦促德州人佩戴口罩,就像他通常做的那样。
6:这位重新开放的准先锋成为第一位下令重新封锁的州长。
