上周五(24日)，白宮發(fā)言人肖恩•斯派塞主持召開的一場禁止拍照的非正式新聞發(fā)布會(huì)把BBC、CNN、Buzzfeed和《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》等一眾媒體擋在門外。
Hours before the briefing, Mr Trump had delivered a strong attack on what he called "fake news" in the media, targeting stories with unnamed sources.

彭博新聞社和《紐約客》雜志等幾家媒體表示今年晚宴結(jié)束后不會(huì)按往年慣例舉行聚會(huì)。

Every sitting president since 1924 has attended the correspondents' dinner at least once, according to the New York Times.

They traditionally make a light-hearted speech at the annual event. Former US President Barack Obama attended eight times.
傳統(tǒng)上，總統(tǒng)們都會(huì)在這個(gè)年度活動(dòng)上做一個(gè)輕松的演講。美國前總統(tǒng)奧巴馬參加了八次。
Mr Trump has been a regular at the dinner in the recent past.

2011年，奧巴馬曾打趣說，如果特朗普成為總統(tǒng)，他會(huì)把白宮變成一個(gè)賭場，奧巴馬還針對(duì)特朗普宣揚(yáng)的他不在美國出生的流言開起了玩笑。
The New York businessman was shown on camera sitting stony-faced through a barrage of jokes at his expense, including some from host Seth Meyers, although he said last year that he "loved that dinner".
盡管特朗普去年聲稱自己“喜歡這個(gè)晚宴”，但從當(dāng)時(shí)拍下的視頻來看，特朗普在被取笑時(shí)一直板著個(gè)臉。那時(shí)候主持人塞斯•梅耶斯也開了特朗普好幾個(gè)玩笑。
Many believe that the 2011 event fuelled Mr Trump's desire to enter politics and later run for office.
許多人認(rèn)為2011年的這場晚宴激發(fā)了特朗普進(jìn)軍政壇進(jìn)而競選總統(tǒng)的欲望。
