White House says Biden is fine after tripping and falling on stage
拜登又雙叕摔倒了 白宮回應“人沒事”
U.S. President Joe Biden tripped on a sandbag and fell as he completed handing out diplomas at the US Air Force Academy commencement in Colorado on Thursday.
當地時間6月1日，美國總統拜登出席在科羅拉多州舉行的美國空軍學院畢業典禮期間，再次出現意外摔倒情況。
The White House said the president was fine after the fall.
白宮方面迅速回應：人沒事。
The stumble began as Biden was jogging away from center stage, where he earlier delivered a commencement address to the academy’s graduates. He spent more than 90 minutes handing out diplomas and congratulating hundreds of cadets.
據報道，拜登參加的畢業典禮時長大約90分鐘，期間向數百人頒發證書并講話。
As he was moving toward his seat, he tripped, falling to the ground. The president landed on his right hip before lifting himself up on his right hand.
事發時，拜登正離開舞臺中心，想回到自己的座位上。但是他突然腳下一絆摔倒在地。拜登右側臀部著地，隨后試圖用右手撐起身體。
A group of men, including an official with the Air Force Academy and two Secret Service agents, grasped onto Biden’s arms to help him back to his feet.
拜登身邊的軍官和兩名特勤人員趕緊將他扶起來。
As he got back up, Biden pointed back toward the ground where he tripped, indicating something had gotten in his path.
現場畫面可以看到，拜登起身后還回頭“指認現場”，指出是什么絆了他。
Video of the moment showed sandbags placed in front of the podium near where Biden had been standing. Earlier, the sandbags had been used to weigh down two teleprompters.
當時的視頻顯示“罪魁禍首”是用來固定提詞器的沙袋。
The president returned to his seat in the stands without assistance, and appeared in good spirits as the ceremony concluded.
隨后，拜登自行回到座位，在活動結束時他的精神狀態還不錯。
“I got sandbagged,” the president told reporters with a smile when he arrived back at the White House on Thursday evening before pretending to jog into the residence.
當天晚些時候回到白宮后，拜登面對記者時笑著說“我被沙袋打了”，并做出了小跑的姿勢以示無恙。
Biden is 80 years old, the nation’s oldest president, and is running for a second term.
現年80歲的拜登是美國最年長的總統，并且還在尋求開啟第二任期。
He’s had previous stumbles in public, including falling to the ground during a bike ride last year in Delaware. He’s also been seen slipping on the stairs as he boarded Air Force One.
之前，拜登也數次在公開場合摔倒過，比如在登上“空軍一號”飛機舷梯以及騎自行車時。
