川普称伦敦没枪照样刀伤遍地 被医生回击“太荒谬”！

A senior London surgeon has hit back at US President Donald Trump for criticising the level of knife crime in the city while defending US gun laws.

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普批评伦敦市持刀犯罪的程度，同时捍卫美国的枪支法律。伦敦的一位资深外科医生对此进行反击。

Prof Karim Brohi, who heads the group overseeing the city’s trauma treatment, said it was "ridiculous" to suggest guns could help combat knife violence.

负责监督该市创伤治疗的组织的Karim Brohi教授说，建议通过枪支打击持刀暴力简直“荒谬”。

He said the capital faced a "serious issue" but gunshot wounds were at least twice as lethal as knife injuries.

他说首都面临“严重问题”，但枪伤至少是刀伤致死的两倍。

Mr Trump’s comments came in a speech to the National Rifle Association (NRA).

特朗普的评论发表在全国步枪协会（NRA）的演讲中。

Addressing the firearms lobby’s conference in Dallas, Texas, on Friday, Mr Trump referred to reading a story "that in London, which has unbelievably tough gun laws, a once very prestigious hospital right in the middle is like a war zone for horrible stabbing wounds".

星期五，特朗普在德克萨斯州达拉斯举行的火器游说会议上，谈到他读到的一个故事：“在拥有令人难以置信的严格的枪支法的伦敦，一个曾经非常有声望的中心医院就像一个战区一般，挤满了可怕的刀伤”。

It is unclear where Mr Trump sourced his information. However, leading London trauma surgeon Dr Martin Griffiths, who works at the Royal London Hospital, told BBC Radio 4 a month ago that his hospital was likened to an Afghan war zone.

目前还不清楚特朗普从哪里获得他的信息。然而，在伦敦皇家医院工作的首席伦敦创伤外科医生 Martin Griffiths博士在一个月前在BBC第4电台的采访中，将他的医院被比作阿富汗战区。

Prof Brohi, who is also a trauma surgeon at the Royal London, is clinical director of the London Major Trauma System Directorate. The organisation has responsibility for co-ordination and policy development between hospitals in and around London dealing with serious injuries.

Brohi教授也是伦敦皇家的创伤外科医生，他是伦敦重创创伤系统局的临床主任。该组织负责伦敦及周边医院之间的协调和政策制定，处理严重受伤事件。

In a statement released by Barts NHS Trust, he said: "We are proud of the excellent trauma care we provide and of our violence reduction programmes...

在Barts NHS Trust发布的声明中，他说：“我们为我们提供的优秀创伤护理和我们的减少暴力计划感到自豪......”

"There is more we can all do to combat this violence, but to suggest guns are part of the solution is ridiculous. Gunshot wounds are at least twice as lethal as knife injuries and more difficult to repair.

“我们可以做的更多的事情来对付这种暴力，但建议枪支作为解决方案的一部分是荒谬的。枪伤的致命性至少是刀伤的两倍，而且更难修复。”

Dr Griffiths had earlier responded to Mr Trump on Twitter with an image suggesting the president had missed the point, adding that he was "happy to invite Mr Trump to my prestigious hospital".

Griffiths博士早些时候在Twitter上回应了特朗普，以一张图片暗示总统没有抓住要点，并说他“很高兴邀请特朗普到我著名的医院”。
