Recent remarks by US Vice-President JD Vance about the Antichrist and "the end times" are a "very, very common belief", one of his friends says.
美国副总统万斯最近关于反基督者和“末日”的言论是“非常非常普遍的信念”，他的一位朋友说。
Vance recently mused on his religious views while responding to a question on a Christian podcast. He said he would "not [be] shocked if the Antichrist was walking among us" and speculated on whether the end of the world was nigh.
万斯最近在基督教播客上回答问题时思考了他的宗教观点。 他说，如果敌基督者行走在我们中间，他“不会感到震惊”，并猜测世界末日是否即将来临。
His friend Rod Dreher, a conservative writer, rejected any suggestion that the comments would harm the vice-president. He told the BBC's Today programme: "Most Americans who are inclined to vote Republican already believe this stuff."
他的朋友罗德·德雷尔（Rod Dreher）是一位保守派作家，他拒绝接受任何有关这些言论会伤害副总统的说法。 他告诉英国广播公司的“今日”节目：“大多数倾向于投票给共和党的美国人已经相信了这些东西。”
In his podcast comments, Vance also clarified that such thoughts did not preoccupy him.
万斯在播客评论中还澄清说，他并没有想到这些想法。
In Christianity, the "end times" phrase refers to theories about what will happen at the end of the world. Many churches believe God has a divine plan for the end of everything.
在基督教中，“末日”一词指的是关于世界末日将发生什么的理论。 许多教会相信上帝对一切的终结有一个神圣的计划。
Meanwhile, the Antichrist is seen as the enemy of God who appears during the final phase of the world's existence and takes it over.
与此同时，敌基督者被视为上帝的敌人，他在世界存在的最后阶段出现并接管了世界。
Vance, who became a Catholic as an adult, reflected on these topics during a recent podcast discussion with Bryce Crawford, a US Christian podcaster.
成年后成为天主教徒的万斯在最近与美国基督教播客布莱斯·克劳福德的播客讨论中反思了这些话题。
"Do I think that we're in the end times? I don't know," he said in response to a Crawford question on the subject. "And I think that it's probably bad for me spiritually to focus too much on it, because there are, like, things you gotta do.
“我认为我们正处于末世吗？ 我不知道，”他在回答克劳福德关于这个问题的问题时说道。 “我认为过度关注这件事对我的精神上可能是不好的，因为有些事情是你必须做的。
"I gotta be good to my wife. I gotta be good to my kids. I have to be as good of a leader as I can for the United States of America."
“我必须对我的妻子好。 我必须对我的孩子们好。 我必须尽我所能成为美利坚合众国的优秀领导者。”
The vice-president continued by saying: "I think that there are, like, things about the world that make me feel, like, not shocked if the Antichrist was walking among us."
副总统继续说道：“我认为，如果敌基督者走在我们中间，世界上有一些事情让我感到不感到震惊。”
But Vance reiterated that he was preoccupied with being vice-president, explaining: "What I'm trying to focus on is doing as much of God's work as possible right now."
但万斯重申，他全神贯注于担任副总统，并解释说：“我现在的重点是尽可能多地做上帝的工作。”
Reacting to Vance's comments about the Antichrist, Dreher said: "This might sound bonkers to someone who is outside the Christian religion, but it is a very, very common belief within Christianity."
德雷尔在回应万斯关于反基督者的评论时说：“对于基督教以外的人来说，这可能听起来很疯狂，但这是基督教内部非常非常普遍的信仰。”
He said his friend was simply reflecting that the world appeared to be going "crazy" through the rapid development of AI and ongoing conflicts.
他说，他的朋友只是反映，由于人工智能的快速发展和持续不断的冲突，世界似乎变得“疯狂”。
Dreher, who was present when Vance was received into the Catholic Church, said Ronald Reagan had made similar comments when he was the US president, and that this was seen as "perfectly normal" by his voters.
万斯被天主教堂接纳时在场的德雷尔表示，罗纳德·里根在担任美国总统时也曾发表过类似言论，他的选民认为这“完全正常”。
Vance converted to Catholicism in 2019, then in his mid-30s, and has described how the Church resonated with his family and social values and his conservative politics.
万斯于 2019 年 30 多岁时皈依天主教，并描述了教会如何与他的家庭、社会价值观以及他的保守政治产生共鸣。
