又改口了！白宫“实验室泄漏”论自相矛盾，外媒揭穿其真实目的

    上周，美国总统特朗普和国务卿蓬佩奥接连造谣称，已经“有大量的证据”（"enormous evidence"）表明新冠病毒来自于武汉的病毒实验室。

    然而6日，蓬佩奥改口说，美国并不确定新冠病毒的暴发源自武汉实验室。但他表示，这两种陈述都是正确的。

    US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the US does not have certainty about the origin of the coronavirus pandemic, despite claiming over the weekend there was "enormous evidence" the virus originated in a Chinese lab.

    尽管美国情报机构和传染病专家安东尼·福奇都对病毒的起源提出了与“实验室人造”相反的观点，但蓬佩奥还是坚称，他和其他美国政府部门和官员的立场是一致的。

    Pompeo also insisted there was no contradiction between his position and comments by other senior US officials who have cast doubt on his theory.

    福奇反驳“实验室泄漏”论

    5月4日，在接受《国际地理》杂志采访时，美国传染病专家安东尼·福奇（Anthony Fauci）称，他很确定病毒的起源，那就是来自于自然。

    Anthony Fauci says the best evidence shows the virus behind the pandemic was not made in a lab in China.

    安东尼·福奇说，最有力的证据表明，造成疫情的新冠病毒并不是中国的实验室人为制造的。

    他用科学证据驳斥了人造病毒的阴谋论调：

    If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats and what's out there now, [the scientific evidence] is very, very strongly leaning toward this could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated ... Everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that [this virus] evolved in nature and then jumped species.

    通过观察病毒在蝙蝠中的进化过程及现在的情况，（根据这些科学证据）几乎可以肯定地说，新冠病毒并非起源于人为制造或蓄意操纵。关于病毒逐步进化的一切证据都强有力地表明，该病毒首先是自然进化，然后越界到人类。
