US pushes to reopen schools
美国政府要求学校复课
White House on Wednesday continued to push states to reopen schools in the fall as the country's COVID-19 cases passed 3 million with over 132,000 deaths.
尽管美国新冠肺炎确诊病例已超300万人，死亡人数逾13.2万人，白宫7月8日继续施压，敦促各州学校于秋季开学复课。
President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened in his tweets to "cut off federal funding" for schools if they do not resume in-person learning this fall and criticized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for "their very tough and expensive guidelines" for opening schools.
美国总统特朗普7月8日在推文中威胁称，若学校秋季不恢复面对面授课将停止向这些学校提供联邦资金，他还批评美国疾病预防控制中心给出的复课指导意见“又严格又费钱”。
During a press briefing a few hours later at the Education Department, Vice-President Mike Pence said the CDC would issue new guidance on reopening schools next week.
几小时后在教育部举行的新闻发布会上，副总统彭斯表示，疾病预防控制中心下周将发布新版开学复课指导意见。
"We don't want the guidance from CDC to be a reason why schools don't open," Pence said. "I think that every American, every American knows that we can safely reopen our schools."
彭斯称：“我们不希望疾病预防控制中心发布的指导意见成为学校无法开学的理由。我认为每个美国人都知道我们可以安全复课。”
