美國時間21日，美國總統(tǒng)拜登和英國首相約翰遜在白宮進行了一場旨在加強美英同盟的會晤，期間雙方討論了氣候變化的危害，還調(diào)侃了搭乘鐵路的樂趣等問題。不過在會面過程中，卻出現(xiàn)了意料之外的一幕，迅速引發(fā)關(guān)注。
U.S. President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday discussed the dangers of climate change and bantered about the joys of rail travel during an Oval Office meeting aimed at underscoring the U.S.-British alliance.
據(jù)路透社報道，當(dāng)時約翰遜點名了兩位英國記者提問，不過拜登卻沒有點名任何美國記者。隨后在一片白宮記者們的喧嘩之中，記者們都被“請”出了橢圓辦公室。
Johnson called on two reporters from the British press corps while Biden did not call on any from the U.S. side. The press was ushered out afterwards amid loud yelling from White House press aides.

美國的?？怂剐侣劸W(wǎng)將拜登的這一舉動稱為“拒絕美國記者”：
報道稱，約翰遜表示“是否可以讓記者問幾個問題，就幾個”，并征詢拜登的同意。拜登當(dāng)時回應(yīng)“祝你好運”。
"Would it be okay if we have just a couple of questions, just a couple?" Johnson asked, looking over to Biden, who replied, "Good luck."
隨后約翰遜回答了英國記者的幾個問題，然后他話音還未落，在橢圓辦公室的記者們被突然趕走，有些記者則在匆忙間高喊著提問。
After Johnson had taken several questions from British reporters, the press pool was then corraled out of the Oval Office while Johnson was mid-sentence, prompting a flurry of shouted questions from reporters.
英國《每日郵報》的報道顯示，拜登的助手趕走了記者們，不過拜登本人當(dāng)時還試圖回答CBS記者喊出的問題。工作人員叫喊著“謝謝”和“走吧”，同時驅(qū)離了記者。
His aides cleared out journalists as they tried to query the president. Biden did attempt to answer one shouted question from a CBS reporter. White House aides yelled 'thank you' and 'let's go' to the press in the room, herding them out as Biden appeared to try and address the issue.
CBS記者Ed O'Keefe發(fā)推特稱，他當(dāng)時在被趕出會場時向拜登提問有關(guān)美國南部邊境的問題，由于現(xiàn)場嘈雜，拜登還戴著口罩，所以沒能聽清。記者在看了錄像之后，聽到拜登說了一句“暴力是不正當(dāng)?shù)?rdquo;，其他回答則難以辨認(rèn)。
《每日郵報》的報道還提到，拜登和約翰遜當(dāng)時就坐在椅子上，看著這“混亂一幕（chaotic scene）”發(fā)生。對此，有記者揶揄道，也許拜登不會大喊大叫“假新聞（暗指特朗普）”，但是他的助手們卻會輕而易舉的喊出“走吧，謝謝”。這是拜登的白宮密碼，意思是“滾出橢圓辦公室。”
隨后，懷有諸多不滿的白宮記者們，就拜登沒有接受正式采訪這一問題找到白宮發(fā)言人普薩基投訴。只不過，普薩基當(dāng)時并不知道發(fā)生了什么，也無法當(dāng)即提供解決方案。
White House reporters made a formal complaint with the White House about not getting any formal questions while the British press asked away. Psaki was unaware that the incident has occurred and suggested that she was not in a position to offer an immediate solution.
一天之后，普薩基在記者會上回應(yīng)了相關(guān)事件。記者向她提問，對于白宮將記者“護送離開（escorted out）”有什么可以透露的消息。普薩基給出的理由則很簡單：約翰遜選擇了自己的記者團成員提問，但是卻沒有事先知會我們。
Psaki: He (Boris Johnson) called on individuals from his press corps without alerting us to that intention in advance.
另據(jù)《國會山》報道，拜登在演講或公開露面后，會很偶爾地接受記者提問，但是最近數(shù)周都沒有召開過發(fā)布會。
Biden occasionally takes questions from reporters at the end of speeches or other public engagements, but he has not held a press conference in several weeks.
