美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥驳斥了有关他正考虑在共和党中期选举受挫后离开特朗普政府的报道，并坚称完成总统唐纳德·特朗普的第二任期一直都是他的计划。
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has dismissed reports suggesting he is considering leaving the Trump administration following the Republican Party's setbacks in the midterm elections, insisting that completing President Donald Trump's second term has always been his plan.
在接受《纽约时报》采访时，卢比奥表示他无意辞职，并驳斥了有关他可能离职以为2028年潜在总统竞选做准备的猜测。
“为特朗普总统工作满他的整个第二任期一直都是我的计划，”卢比奥说。
“老实说，我不知道这些事情都是从哪儿来的，”他补充说，并对有关他可能离职的报道作出回应。
In an interview with The New York Times, Rubio said he had no intention of stepping down and rejected speculation that he could leave his position to prepare for a possible 2028 presidential campaign.“Working for President Trump for the duration of his second term has always been my plan,” Rubio said.“I don’t know where these things come from, to be honest with you,” he added, responding to reports about his possible departure.
卢比奥还对外界关于他在政府中身兼数职的质疑不以为然，并表示：“我热爱我正在做的工作。而且每当他们说他要辞职时我总是忍不住笑。我说的是‘哪一个工作？’
Rubio also dismissed questions about his multiple responsibilities in the administration, saying, “I love the work I’m doing. And plus I always laugh when they say he’s going to leave his job. I go, ‘Which one?’”
这些报道出现在共和党在中期选举中遭受重大挫折之后，引发了外界对该党领导层及其2028年潜在总统候选人的最新猜测。
The reports emerged after the Republicans suffered significant setbacks in the midterm elections, triggering fresh speculation about the party's leadership and its potential presidential candidates for 2028.
彭博社报道称，卢比奥曾与白宫官员讨论过辞职的可能性，且他与顾问们正在审视未来的选择。然而，白宫和国务院强烈否认了这些报道。
Bloomberg News reported that Rubio had discussed the possibility of stepping down with White House officials and that he and his advisers were examining his future options. However, the White House and State Department strongly denied the reports.
白宫发言人贝尼·雷·哈莫尼将这些说法形容为由匿名消息源散布的“虚构骗局”，并补充说卢比奥依然是特朗普和“让美国再次伟大”运动的坚定支持者。
White House spokesperson Beni Rae Harmony described the claims as a “fabricated hoax” being circulated by anonymous sources, adding that Rubio remained a committed supporter of Trump and the MAGA movement.
负责全球公共事务的助理国务卿迪兰·约翰逊也将这些报道称为“完全毫无根据的假新闻”。卢比奥的2028年雄心尽管遭到否认，卢比奥越来越被视为2028年共和党总统竞选的潜在竞争者，特别是在中期选举结果出炉后副总统詹姆斯·戴维斯·万斯的政治前景受到质疑之际。
Assistant Secretary of State for Global Public Affairs Dylan Johnson also called the reports “completely baseless fake news”.RUBIO'S 2028 AMBITIONSDespite the denials, Rubio is increasingly being viewed as a potential Republican presidential contender for 2028, particularly following questions over Vice President JD Vance's political prospects after the midterm results.
据《独立报》引述的共和党消息人士和官员称，他们认为卢比奥是特朗普的主要潜在接班人。一些人认为，他最终可能会因政府对伊朗战争的处理方式而与政府保持距离。
Republican sources and officials cited by The Independent reportedly see Rubio as a leading potential successor to Trump. Some believe he could eventually distance himself from the administration over its handling of the Iran war.
然而，《纽约邮报》引述的消息人士称，卢比奥最初的计划是在特朗普的整个第二任期内留在政府中。
一位高级政府官员表示，卢比奥从一开始就打算干满四年，甚至曾半开玩笑地说他不会休假。
However, sources cited by The New York Post said Rubio's original plan was to remain in the administration throughout Trump's second term.A senior administration official said Rubio had intended from the beginning to serve all four years and had even joked that he would not take a vacation.
卢比奥目前身兼国务卿和国家安全顾问两个具有影响力的职务，这使他处于政府外交政策和国家安全决策的核心地位。
Rubio currently holds two influential positions as Secretary of State and National Security Adviser, placing him at the centre of the administration's foreign policy and national security decisions.
他还与白宫办公厅主任苏西·怀尔斯以及副总统詹姆斯·戴维斯·万斯保持着紧密的工作关系。对古巴政策是又一个因素卢比奥可能留在政府中的另一个原因，是他长期以来推动古巴政治变革的雄心。
He also maintains a close working relationship with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and Vice President JD Vance.CUBA POLICY ANOTHER FACTORAnother reason Rubio may remain in the administration is his long-standing ambition to bring political change in Cuba.
作为古巴移民之子，卢比奥一直将挑战古巴共产主义政府作为其政治生涯的核心部分。消息人士称，在实现其有关该岛的外交政策目标之前，他将很不情愿离职。
The son of Cuban immigrants, Rubio has made challenging Cuba's communist government a central part of his political career. Sources said he would be reluctant to leave before achieving his foreign policy objectives concerning the island.
共和党捐款人丹·埃伯哈特暗示，中期选举结果削弱了万斯的前景，同时巩固了卢比奥的地位。
“中期选举炸毁了万斯的[2028年前景]，而卢比奥的声望正在飙升，”埃伯哈特说。
Republican donor Dan Eberhart suggested that the midterm results had weakened Vance's prospects while strengthening Rubio's position.“The midterms blew up Vance’s [2028 prospects] and Rubio’s stock is soaring,” Eberhart said.
他补充说，在实现推翻古巴共产主义政权的目标之前，卢比奥可能很难回到迈阿密。
He added that Rubio might find it difficult to return to Miami before achieving his goal of toppling Cuba's communist regime.
卢比奥此前曾表示，如果副总统决定参加2028年共和党总统候选人提名竞选，他将不会向万斯发起挑战。
Rubio has previously indicated that he would not challenge Vance if the Vice President decides to run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2028.
然而，中期选举的挫折加剧了外界对卢比奥是否会成为替代候选人的猜测。
However, the midterm setbacks have intensified speculation about whether Rubio could emerge as an alternative candidate.
在《纽约时报》的采访中被问及有关他竞选总统的雄心时，卢比奥拒绝讨论2028年的竞选。“我真的再也不谈论2028年了，”他说。“我就是不谈。”
Asked about his presidential ambitions in the New York Times interview, Rubio refused to discuss the 2028 race.“I literally will not talk about 2028 anymore,” he said. “I just won’t do it.”
卢比奥计划于下周五在华盛顿特区举行的联邦主义者学会全国律师大会上发表他在中期选举后的首场重要演讲。
