: Q: And there's this critical meeting today on this sort of, you know, trade
: council with Taiwan. Is there any suggestion at all that the U.S. decision to
: provide as many vaccine doses as were provided to Taiwan is in some way a
: quid pro quo to get access to semiconductors from Taiwan?
: MS. PSAKI: There should not be that suggestion. I will note that they were
: being cut off from access to vaccines. So that was a factor.
: 白宮發言人：我必須提醒大家的事實是台灣在取得疫苗的過程中被阻斷
這個翻譯怪怪的。
記者是提問會議中有無以半導體作為疫苗交換條件之類的建議。
白宫發言人的回答第一句話是說沒有這個建議。
但第二句話 I will note that they were being cut off from access to vaccines.
時態是未來式，而不是過去式或現在式。但名詞子句是過去式。
不是應該要翻譯成
我之後會關注台灣過去在取得疫苗的途徑上受到阻礙的這件事情。
我覺得白宮發言人完整的回答的翻譯應該是：
會議中沒有提到以半導體作為疫苗交換條件之類的建議，
我之後會關注台灣過去在取得疫苗的途徑上受到阻礙的這件事情，
這是一項因素。
