Taiwan’s Weapon Against Coronavirus: An Epidemiologist as Vice President
台灣對抗武漢肺炎的武器：流行病學家副總統
這句話，帥：
 “Evidence is more important than playing politics,” he said in a recent interview in Taiwan’s capital, Taipei.
「實證比玩政治來得重要。」他近期在台灣的首都台北受訪表示。

人物側寫這樣寫

Mr. Chen, 68, with his frizzy gray hair and a toothy smile, is known affectionately in Taiwan as “elder brother,” and many people credit him with helping the island avoid the large-scale infections and deaths from the coronavirus that have overwhelmed many countries.
好可惜竟然沒有寫他是聖墓騎士
大家都認識大仁哥，這段我就不翻譯
選幾個有意思的表達方式：
frizzy gray hair 捲捲灰髮
toothy smile 露多齒的微笑
credit him with 歸功他
He has embraced his rare dual role, using his political authority to criticize China for initially trying to conceal the virus even as the scientist in him hunkers down to analyze trends in transmission.
他擁抱自己罕見的雙重角色，一面是運用政治權威（官員身份）抨擊中國初期試圖隱匿病毒，一面則是科學家身份投身分析病毒傳播趨勢
dual 雙重的
conceal 隱藏
hunker down 蹲下，在此我引伸翻譯為投身

大仁哥の期許
Now Mr. Chen hopes Taiwan can play a leading role in helping the world recover from the virus and restart economic growth. He is overseeing efforts to develop a vaccine and produce tools like rapid coronavirus testing kits.
他期望台灣能扮演全球領導角色，幫助世界抗疫、康復，重振經濟成長。他監督著疫苗的研發，製造快篩組等工具。
recover from 康復
develop a vaccine 研發疫苗
rapid testing 快篩

面對猛烈批評，他的風度如何？
“He wears the clothing of professionalism but deviates from the rigorous precision of science and blatantly speaks nonsense and fabricates rumors,” said a recent commentary by Xinhua, China’s official news agency. “The nature of it is particularly vicious.”
中國官媒新華社近期評論：「披著專業外衣，背離科學嚴謹，公然胡說造謠，性質尤為惡劣。」
Mr. Chen laughs at the criticism.
他笑了。
“China has to be focused more on Covid-19 control rather than politics,” he said.
回應：「中國務必專注控制疫情，勝於關注政治。」
讀到這，我笑了。

很喜歡結尾
On May 20, Mr. Chen will step down as vice president. He plans to return to academia and says the coronavirus will be a focus of his research.
520，他即將卸任副總統。規劃將重返學界，且表示武漢肺炎將成他研究焦點。
academia 學術界
📝 補充：中研院的英文 Academia Sinica 是拉丁文，字面意思是中華學術院。拉丁文是後位修飾（形容詞放在名詞後面的意思，法文就有沿襲這項特色）
這段話很有智慧
“I pray to have the courage to change what we can change,” he said, noting the effort to produce better tests, drugs and vaccines. “We have to accept what we cannot change.”
「我祈禱能擁有勇氣改變我們能改變的事情」他說，意指努力產出更好的檢測、藥物以及疫苗。「我們必須接受我們無法改變的事情。」

1、when帶領副詞子句修飾主要子句的動詞，說明動作發生的時間，when子句裡的動詞要用現在式代替未來式，故動詞pray是現在式。rain當「雨水」時是不可數名詞，不可加s， ... ... <看更多>
