拜登称癌症“让我慢下来”，健康将限制新书宣传前总统小约瑟夫·R·拜登表示，他所患的侵袭性前列腺癌意味着，他将“无法像自己希望的那样进行那么多场对话”来宣传即将出版的回忆录。
Biden Says Health Will Limit Book Promotion as Cancer ‘Slows Me Down’ Former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. said his aggressive prostate cancer meant he “won’t be able to do as many conversations” to promote his forthcoming memoir as he had hoped.
前总统小约瑟夫·R·拜登周日表示，健康问题将使他无法像自己希望的那样进行那么多场公开活动来宣传即将出版的回忆录。
Former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. said Sunday that his health would prevent him from making as many public appearances to promote his forthcoming memoir as he had hoped.
这位83岁的前总统自白宫任职以来，健康状况一直受到审视。他去年被诊断出患有侵袭性前列腺癌，癌细胞已扩散至骨骼。拜登先生接受了放射治疗和手术以切除皮肤癌病变，他的儿子亨特·拜登在夏天的一次采访中表示，他的病情正在恶化并给他带来疼痛。
The former president, 83, whose health has faced scrutiny since his time in the White House, was diagnosed last year with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that spread to his bones. Mr. Biden underwent radiation therapy and surgery to remove skin cancer lesions, and his son Hunter Biden said in an interview over the summer that his condition was worsening and causing him pain.
拜登先生表示，他在收到诊断结果时已开始撰写回忆录《答应我，美国》，该书涵盖了他担任总统的岁月。他后来表示，在与疾病作斗争时，他感到尽快完成的巨大压力，称自己正在与出版商“拼命工作”。现在，他说癌症还将影响他宣传这本书的能力。
Mr. Biden said he had started writing the memoir, “Promise Me, America,” which covers his years as president, when he received the diagnosis. He indicated afterward that he felt intense pressure to finish quickly as he battled the disease, saying he was “working like hell” with his publisher. Now, he says his cancer will also affect his ability to promote the book.
“有些日子好一些，有些日子差一些。它没有阻止我，但有时会让我慢下来，”拜登先生周日在一篇发布在X平台的帖子中写道。“不幸的是，这意味着我将无法像我希望的那样进行那么多关于这本书的对话。”
“Some days are better than others. It hasn’t stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down,” Mr. Biden wrote Sunday in a post on X. “What that means is, unfortunately, I won’t be able to do as many conversations about my book as I’d hoped.”
他补充说：“我的医生仍然对我接受治疗后的反应感到鼓舞。”拜登先生的年龄和健康状况在他任期的最后一年引发了激烈辩论。在2024年6月与总统唐纳德·特朗普的一场灾难性辩论中，拜登先生多次失去思路，随后结束了连任竞选。
He added, “My doctors continue to be encouraged by how I’ve responded to treatment.”Mr. Biden’s age and health set off an intense debate during his final year in office. Mr. Biden ended his re-election bid after a disastrous June 2024 debate performance against President Donald Trump, during which Mr. Biden repeatedly lost his train of thought.
亨特·拜登在7月的一个播客节目中说，他相信父亲在辩论期间不知不觉中患有癌症。（未参与拜登治疗的医学专家表示，几个月后确诊的癌症不太可能影响他在辩论中的表现。）这位前总统去年以1000万美元出售了回忆录版权，并于2026年7月宣布该书将于中期选举后不久、即11月17日出版。书中将涵盖拜登应对冠状病毒大流行、阿富汗和乌克兰战争，以及2021年1月6日美国国会大厦遭袭击事件的后续影响等内容。
Hunter Biden said on a podcast in July that he believed his father was unknowingly suffering from cancer during that debate. (Medical experts who were not involved in Mr. Biden’s care said it was unlikely that his debate performance was affected by the cancer diagnosed months later.) The former president sold the rights to his memoir for $10 million last year and announced in July 2026 that it would be released just after the midterm elections, on Nov. 17. The book will cover Mr. Biden’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, wars in Afghanistan and Ukraine, and the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, among other things.
“这是关于我们作为一个国家是谁。我们代表什么。以及美国在世界上的角色，”拜登在X平台的帖子中写道。“更重要的是，这是关于我对美国人民的信心，以及美国在自治和民主方面伟大的实验。”
“It’s about who we are as a nation. What we stand for. And America’s role in the world,” Mr. Biden wrote in the X post. “More than anything, it’s about my faith in the American people and the great American experiment in self-governance and democracy.”
