China won't commit to foreign aid teams
中国不会委托国际救援人员
CHINA today refused to commit to accepting any further foreign rescue teams into the quake-stricken country, after it let in emergency workers from Japan to assist with aid efforts.
今天中国在允许日本紧急突发事件救援人员之后拒绝了任何进一步国际救援队进入地震灾区的请求。
"We will, according to the actual situation and the receiving capability in the localities, give serious consideration to the request of foreign rescue teams," foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang told reporters.
外交部发言人秦刚说道，“我们在考虑到实际情况及当地灾区的承受能力，对国际救援队的请求进行认真的考虑。”
He was speaking in response to a question asking if and when China would accept more foreign rescuers.
他是针对于先前提到的关于中国是否以及什么时候会接受更多国际救援人员的问题作出了上述回答。
Qin gave no further information on the issue.
秦刚并未给出更多关于此事的信息。
China today announced it would finally accept rescue teams from Japan, three days after a 7.9-magnitude earthquake struck southwestern Sichuan province and left more than 40,000 people dead or buried under rubble.
中国在今天，也就是西南部四川省发生7。9级地震的三天之后最终接受了日本的救援队伍。至少有40，000人在此次的震中丧生或被埋葬在废墟中。
It had previously rejected any foreign offers of help.
在此之前它曾经拒绝任何形式的国际支援。
Australian expertise was politely declined yesterday, and South Korean specialists were also rejected, even though China faces a race against time to find survivors.
澳洲的专家昨日被婉转的谢绝了，同样被谢绝的还有韩国，即使中国仍处在与时间赛跑发现生还者的景况中。
"After the disastrous earthquake in Sichuan, many countries expressed their willingness to send rescue teams to assist the Chinese side's work of disaster relief," Qin said.
秦刚在发言中证实，“此次在四川发生的灾难性地震之后，许多国家都在最快时间内对中国政府表达出了希望支援和救灾的愿望。”
"The Chinese Government and the people express their deep gratitude to the sympathy and support given to us by those foreign countries and their people."
“中国政府及人民对这些国家及人民的同情和支持表示深切的感谢。
Asked why China had finally decided to allow Japanese rescuers in and no other foreign workers, Qin said Japan was near China, and therefore fast in providing the rescuers.
在关于中国接受日本的支援一事上秦刚回答说，日本离中国距离近所以能够提供快速支援。
"We hope the rescue team can reach the disaster-affected area as soon as possible," he said.
“我们希望就远队能尽快够到达灾区。”
China had so far received international aid worth more than $100 million and materials worth more than $10 million, Qin said.
秦刚表示，中国迄今为止已经接受了超过1亿的国际支援计及1千万的物资。
He said the most pressing need for rescue efforts so far was medicine and health-related materials.
他同时说道现在最紧缺的物资是医药及医疗用品。
Tents, quilts, and convenience foods were also in demand, as was communication equipment such as satellite phones.
其他紧缺的物品包括帐篷，被子，方便食品，以及卫星电话之类的通讯工具。
China has justified its refusal of foreign rescue teams by pointing to challenges in transport and communications in the quake-hit region.
中国指出目前拒绝国际救援的主要问题是交通道路受阻，进到灾区非常困难，所以运输和到达灾区是一个很大的问题。
