查韋斯懷疑美國密謀誘癌
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez speculated on Wednesday that the United States might have developed a way to give Latin American leaders cancer, after Argentina's Cristina Fernandez joined the list of presidents diagnosed with the disease.
委內瑞拉總統烏戈•查韋斯本週三猜測稱，美國可能已經研發出一種技術來誘發癌症，因此拉丁美洲國家領導人紛紛患癌。此前不久，阿根廷總統克里斯蒂娜•費爾南德斯也被診斷出患上了癌症。It was a typically controversial statement by Venezuela's leader, who underwent surgery in June to remove a tumor from his pelvis. But he stressed that he was not making any accusations, just thinking aloud.
這是委內瑞拉總統查韋斯發表的很有代表性的爭議言論，他今年6月接受治療，切除了骨盆的腫瘤。但他強調說，他不是在譴責美國，只是把自己的想法說了出來。"It would not be strange if they had developed the technology to induce cancer and nobody knew about it until now ... I don't know. I'm just reflecting," he said in a televised speech to troops at a military base.
他在某個軍事基地對部隊發表電視講話時說：“如果他們已經研發出一種誘癌方法，而且到現在也沒有人知道的話，那也一點兒不奇怪。我不知道，我只是在思考。”
"But this is very, very, very strange ... it's a bit difficult to explain this, to reason it, including using the law of probabilities."
“但這非常、非常、非常奇怪，解釋起來和推論起來都有點兒困難，包括用機率法則來解釋。”Chavez, Fernandez, Paraguay's Fernando Lugo, Brazil's Dilma Rousseff and former Brazilian leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva have all been diagnosed recently with cancer.
查韋斯、費爾南德斯、巴拉圭總統費爾南多•盧戈、巴西總統迪爾瑪•羅塞夫、以及巴西前總統路易斯•伊納西奧•盧拉•達席爾瓦最近全被診斷出患上了癌症。Doctors say Fernandez has a very good chance of recovery and will not need chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Her diagnosis was made public on Tuesday.
醫生表示費爾南德斯康復的機率非常大，不需要進行化療或者放療。她的診斷於本週二公佈。Chavez said other regional leaders should beware, including his close ally, Bolivian President Evo Morales.
查韋斯表示，其他的地區領導人要當心，包括他的親密盟友，玻利維亞總統埃沃•莫拉萊斯。"We'll have to take good care of Evo. Take care Evo!" he said.
他說：“我們要照顧好埃沃，埃沃當心！”The 57-year-old is Latin America's loudest critic of US foreign policy along with Cuba's former leader Fidel Castro, and he frequently lashes out at what he calls the "Yankee Empire".
57歲的查韋斯是拉丁美洲對美國外交政策的最大批評者，與之一道的還有古巴前領導人菲德爾·卡斯特羅。查韋斯經常猛烈抨擊美國，稱之爲“帝國主義美國佬”。
