Our future leaders
未來領袖
"The story is Trump," The president remarked in passing during a TIME interview with him in the Oval Office last year.
“故事就是特朗普，”去年總統在總統辦公室接受本刊采訪時順便說了一句。
And never more so than this week, when the biggest story in the world by far was the health of Donald Trump.

他面臨的是近40年來美國總統面臨的最嚴重的健康危機。
As our senior health correspondent Alice Park wrote recently,
正如我們的高級健康專線記者愛麗絲·帕克最近寫道的那樣，
the news was "a reminder of two stark truths that we've known since the first days that the novel coronavirus reached the United States:
這條新聞“提醒了我們自從新型冠狀病毒到達美國的第一天起就已經知道的兩個嚴峻事實：
that the virus respects no boundaries, and that older people are at higher risk."
新冠病毒無視國界；老年人面臨的風險更高。”
As the virus swept through the White House, Capitol Hill and the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
隨著病毒席卷白宮、國會山和參謀長聯席會議小組，
it was also a reminder that the top of the U.S. government may be the oldest it has ever been.
這條新聞也提醒了我們，美國政府最高層可能是被病毒席卷的最年長的團體。
