【单词讲解】
Prudent这个词经常表示“谨慎的，小心的”或者“稳重的，精明的”等意思，比如在《政府工作报告》中常见的“稳健的货币政策”就是prudent monetary policy，投资市场中“谨慎的投资者”是prudent investor，职场前辈给后辈的“中肯建议”是prudent advice。
近期，由于受到新冠肺炎疫情影响，澳大利亚国内对华人和亚裔的种族歧视言行和暴力行为现象明显上升。文化和旅游部提醒中国游客切勿前往澳大利亚旅游。
外交部发言人华春莹在6月8日的例行发布会上表示，中方有关部门发布赴澳旅行提醒当然有充分事实依据。
她表示：
For a while, there have been many discrimination cases against China, Chinese and even Asians in Australia, which were also reported by Australian media.
过去一段时间来，澳国内针对中国、华人乃至亚裔的歧视现象层出不穷，澳媒体上有大量报道。
For example, some Australian politicians and media called the novel coronavirus "China virus" and viciously altered some elements on China's national flag and emblem. Many Chinese in Australia were insulted or even attacked. Some Chinese and Asian families' properties were vandalized. Chinese and Asians encountered unjust treatment at workplace.
比如，一些澳政客和媒体将新冠病毒称为“中国病毒”，恶毒篡改中国国旗、国徽图案；很多在澳华人华侨遭受言语侮辱甚至围攻伤害；一些华人和亚裔家庭财产遭到破坏，华人和亚裔在日常工作中遭受不公正待遇。
In Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and other Australian cities there has been racist graffiti against Chinese. According to statistics collected by Australian Human Rights Commission, in the first quarter this year, hundreds of Asians filed complaints for racial discrimination, accounting for 25 percent of the total.
悉尼、墨尔本、布里斯班、珀斯等多个澳城市出现带有对华种族歧视意涵的涂鸦或文字。根据澳大利亚人权委员会统计，今年第一季度已有数百名亚裔投诉遭受种族歧视，种族歧视投诉占比高达25%。
Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported that within one week in April, three racist attacks targeting Chinese families took place in Australia. From January to April, the state of New South Wales received 241 complaints for racial discrimination, while the number is 22 from March to the beginning of May in the state of Queensland.
据澳大利亚广播公司报道，4月一周内就发生3起针对华人家庭的种族主义袭击。新南威尔士州今年1到4月收到241起种族歧视投诉，昆士兰州警方3月到5月初收到22起种族歧视报案。
The Chinese government has been responsible in reminding Chinese citizens to make proper travel plans and protect themselves from harm. We also advise the Australian side to pay attention to the problems and take concrete measures to protect the security, rights and interests of Chinese nationals in Australia.
中国政府一向本着负责任的态度，提醒中国公民妥善安排出行计划，做好自身安全防护。我们也奉劝澳大利亚方面正视问题，采取切实措施维护和保障在澳中国公民的安全和权益。
