The Republican Party candidate Donald Trump told Fox News he hopes Clinton gets well soon.

共和党候选人唐纳德 特朗普告知福克斯新闻，他希望克林顿尽快康复。

"I hope she gets well and gets back on the trail and we'll be seeing her in the debate," Trump said. The two candidates are to hold their first direct debate on September 26.

“我希望她康复并且尽快回归，我们希望看见她出席辩论会”特朗普说。两位候选人将在9月26日举行第一次直接辩论。

Trump has suggested that Clinton lacks the energy to serve as president. Some Trump supporters have suggested Clinton is in poor health as a result of a concussion she suffered in a fall in 2012. However, they have not provided any evidence to support the claim.

特朗普暗示了克林顿缺乏作为总统的能力。一些特朗普的支持者暗示克林顿糟糕的身体状况是因为2012年秋天的一次脑震荡。尽管如此，他们并没有提供任何支持该言论的证据。
