美国民主党总统候选人拜登近日在社交媒体发布一段美国疫情发展情况视频，用特朗普过去发表演说的画面配上美国与其他各国新冠确诊病例的数据对比，嘲讽特朗普“我们会一直赢”的宣言。
Likely Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has released an ad mocking President Donald Trump's promise to Americans that they would get "tired of winning".
The ad, which began circulating on social media on Thursday, shows a clip of Mr Trump making the boast to supporters at a campaign rally.
As he speaks, an animated graph is superimposed showing a line graph forming to illustrate the number of coronavirus cases in several countries. Each of the lines is identified by a flag icon.
▌superimpose 使（尤指图片、文字等）叠加，将…放在他物之上
While other nations – Italy, UK, Canada, France and South Korea – successfully manage to bend the curve on coronavirus cases, the line representing the US shoots up towards a second peak.
Mr Biden's Twitter account shared the 2020 US election ad along with a quote from Mr Trump's speech: "Mr President, it's too much."
It's been a record-setting week for new coronavirus cases in the US.
On Wednesday, 50,655 new coronavirus cases were reported, marking the largest number of new infections recorded in a single day in the US.
The surge comes just a month after many US states began re-opening their economies following a nearly three month shut-down due to the pandemic.
The rise in infections has been most prevalent in the West and South, especially in Florida, Texas and Arizona.
On Tuesday, Dr Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, addressed Congress along with several other national health leaders to discuss the recent resurgence.
"We are now having 40-plus thousand new cases a day. I would not be surprised if we go up to 100,000 a day if this does not turn around and so I am very concerned," Dr Fauci said.
He warned that if people continue to congregate in large groups and refuse to wear masks, the pandemic will continue to worsen.
▌congregate 聚集，集合
"We're going to continue to be in a lot of trouble, and there's going to be a lot of hurt if that does not stop," he said.
As the number of cases continue to climb and health officials warn Congress of dire consequences if the country stays its current course, Mr Trump has continued to suggest that the coronavirus will eventually just disappear.
On Wednesday, he appeared on Fox Business and was asked if he believes the virus will still disappear. "I do. I do. Yeah sure. At some point. And I think we're going to have a vaccine very soon too."
Despite maintaining his insistence that the pandemic will eventually just disappear, Mr Trump has somewhat changed his public stance on wearing masks.
During the same interview, he was asked if he would wear a mask, and said he would.
"Oh I would. I have. I mean people have seen me wearing one. If I'm in a group of people where we're not 10 feet away – but usually I'm not in that position and everyone's tested," Mr Trump said.
The president said he didn't think making mask wearing mandatory was necessary at the national level but did say he was "all for masks" and now thinks that they're good.
▌mandatory 强制的；必须履行的；法定的
Up until recently, Mr Trump has been characteristically obstinate about wearing masks, at times claiming people wore them to show this displeasure with him and – during a trip to a Michigan Ford Motors plant – refused to wear one to spite the press.
