A top aide to the Philippines’ president has made waves after he swam with dolphins at a theme park, even as the country endures tough travel restrictions due to the coronavirus.
就在菲律賓正因新冠病毒實施嚴格的旅遊限制之際，總統的一名高級助理在主題樂園與海豚共游，引發爭議。
"I did not violate any regulation although I recognise that some people might have been offended by the pictures they saw," said Harry Roque, spokesman for Rodrigo Duterte, during a news conference.
杜特蒂的發言人羅格在記者會上說，「雖然我承認，有些人或許因為看見那些照片而憤怒，但是我並未違反任何規定」。
"Swimming is now allowed because it’s a non-contact sport," he said, while also apologising for his behaviour.
「現在游泳是獲得准許的，因為這是非接觸型運動」，他說，同時也為他的行為道歉。
"I did not party. I was alone － I was with four dolphins."
「我並沒有和人聚會玩樂，我自己一個人，我是和4隻海豚在一起」。
Roque, 53, told reporters someone had taken photos of him at Ocean Adventure without his knowledge. The photos were posted to the marine theme park’s Facebook page. They have been removed.
53歲的羅格告訴記者，有人在他不知情下拍下他在海洋冒險主題樂園的照片。這些照片被貼到這座海洋主題樂園的「臉書」專頁，現在已被刪除。
