纽约州长科莫表示，美国网球公开赛将准时开始

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Tuesday that the U.S. Open tennis tournament will take place as scheduled this summer in Queens.

纽约州州长安德鲁·科莫周二宣布，美国网球公开赛将于今年夏天如期在皇后区举行。

The event will begin on Aug. 31 without fans in the stands because of the continued spread of the coronavirus.

由于冠状病毒的持续传播，该赛事将于8月31日开始，观众席上将没有球迷。

Some tennis stars expressed unease at the announcement. Australian tennis star Nicholas Kyrgios called the move "selfish" on Twitter and joked that he would bring his hazmat suit. Australia has lost 102 people to the coronavirus, a tiny fraction of the more than 116,000 who have died in the United States from COVID-19.

一些网球明星对这一消息表示不安。澳大利亚网球明星尼古拉斯·基尔吉奥斯在推特上称这一举动“自私”，并开玩笑说他会带上自己的防毒服。澳大利亚有102人死于冠状病毒感染，与美国死于COVID-19的11.6万多人相比，这个数字微不足道。

Other stars, including the women's world No. 1 Ash Barty and 17-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic, have expressed concerns about the safety of the event, according to The Associated Press.

据美联社报道，其他明星，包括世界排名第一的女子选手阿什·巴蒂和17次大满贯得主诺瓦克·德约科维奇，都对这项赛事的安全表示担忧。

In a tweet, Cuomo stressed that the U.S. Tennis Association will be taking precautions that include "testing, additional cleaning, extra locker room space, and dedicated housing & transportation."

科莫在推特上强调，美国网球协会将采取预防措施，包括“测试、额外的清洁、额外的更衣室空间、专门的住房和交通工具。”

"It will be held without fans, but we can watch it on TV, and I'll take that," Cuomo said at a press conference. "The tennis authority is going to be taking extraordinary precautions."

科莫在新闻发布会上表示:“这场比赛将在没有球迷的情况下举行，但我们可以在电视上观看，我会接受的。”“网球管理局将采取特别的预防措施。”

The Australian Open having ended in February. Wimbledon has been canceled for the year, and the French Open, which usually takes place in May, was rescheduled to September after the U.S. Open.

澳大利亚网球公开赛已于今年2月结束。温布尔登已经取消了今年的赛事，通常在5月举行的法国网球公开赛也被改在美国公开赛之后的9月举行。
