President Donald Trump¹ has extended his administration's social distancing guidelines.

唐纳德·特朗普总统延长了政府保持社交距离指南的有效期。

These are government suggestions intended to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. They urge Americans to avoid groups of more than 10 people, they say older people should stay home and they also encourage Americans to work and learn from home. Those guidelines were scheduled to end on Monday and the president had previously² said that Easter Sunday, April 12th, would be a great time to reopen some parts of the United States.

这些政府建议旨在帮助阻止新冠肺炎的传播。建议敦促美国民众避免10人以上的的聚会，称老人应呆在家中，同时鼓励人们在家工作和学习。这些指南原定于周一到期，总统此前表示，4月12日复活节周日是美国部分地区重新开放的大好时机。

But this week, after looking over disease information with his top health advisors³, President Trump said the Easter deadline was, quote, "just an aspiration⁴". And he said he'd lengthened⁵ the government social distancing guidelines until April 30th.

但本周，特朗普总统在与首席卫生顾问一起查看了疾病信息后表示，复活节的最后期限“只是一种期望”。他说他已将政府保持社交距离指南的有效期延长至4月30日。
