B: I saw it. I can't believe that such a discriminatory term against Asians would come from the mouth of a president.

看到了。真不敢相信这样歧视亚裔的词汇竟是从一位总统的口中说出的。

A: I saw he recently said in an interview that he wouldn't use this term. I guess that he came out with an explanation due to pressure from public opinion.

我看他最近接受采访时表示自己不再用这个词汇了,估计是他承受舆论的压力才出来解释的。

B: I hope he can really help the people of the US.

希望他真的能帮到美国人民。
