During a press conference to discuss Republican Senators’ upcoming visit to the Southern border, Senator Ted Cruz refused to wear a mask after a reporter asked him to put one on.
在一場論及（美國國會）共和黨籍參議員即將造訪（美國）南部邊境的記者會上，參議員克魯茲拒絕應記者要求戴上口罩。
The Texas senator is seen approaching the podium, maskless, as his colleagues, all of whom appear to be wearing masks, follow him.
這名德州聯邦參議員沒戴口罩走向講台，而跟在他身後的同僚全都戴上口罩。
"Do you mind putting a mask on for us?" an off-camera reporter asks.
「您是否介意為我們戴上口罩？」一名未在鏡頭前現身的記者如此要求。
"Yeah, when I’m talking to the TV camera, I’m not going to wear a mask. All of us have been immunized," Cruz replies.
「我介意，當我對著電視攝影機發言時，我不打算戴口罩。我們全都免疫了，」克魯茲回答。
When the reporter says it would make the group feel better if Cruz wore a mask, the senator replied："You’re welcome to step away, if you’d like."
當該名記者說克魯茲若能戴上口罩，可讓在場人士感覺比較好時，克魯茲回說：「若你願意，我不介意你站遠一點。」
