VOA常速英语:英国首相梅搁置分歧,将访美会晤特朗普
英国女权主义者发起了美国本土外最大规模的集会,抗议特朗普总统就职,竞选中曝光的特朗普有关女性的争议性言论依然令她们感到愤怒。但是特蕾莎.梅与特朗普会面时的重点议程将是脱欧时代后的贸易前景、恐怖主义以及同叙利亚的冲突。
“I will be talking to Donald Trump about the issues that we share about how we can build on this special relationship.It’s a special relationship that also enables us to say when we do find things unacceptable.”
“我将同唐纳德.特朗普讨论我们共同关心的问题,那就是,基于‘特殊关系’,我们能做些什么。这种‘特殊关系’也使我们在发现不可接受的问题时能开诚布公地讲出来。”
May says she won’t be afraid to challenge him.“I think the biggest statement that will be made about the role of women is the fact that I will be there, as a female prime minister,Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, talking to him, directly talking to him about the interests that we share.”
梅表示,她不怕挑战特朗普。“我认为最能表达有关女性问题立场的一点是,我将作为女首相、英国首相出席会谈,与特朗普面对面地探讨我们的共同利益。”
Some observers predict that could be an awkward moment between two people with very different personalities.“I would think for somebody of Mrs Theresa May’s background, the way she can pose herself, the way that she’s lived her life to confront Donald Trump is going to be moving into meeting some different,some very different world, not quite a different planet, but certainly a different world.”
一些观察人士预测,这两位性格迥异的人士见面时可能会出现尴尬的场面。“我认为以特蕾莎.梅夫人的背景、她的举止、她的生活方式,与唐纳德.特朗普的会面将好比像她将接触一位来自迥然不同世界的人,倒不至于来自另一个星球,但肯定是一个非常不一样的世界。”
But for both Trump and May,the common interests and the historic special relationship between the two nations are much higher than any potential personality and gender issues that the media in both countries have raised.
但是对于特朗普和梅来说,共同的利益以及两国历史上的‘特殊关系’远远超过两国媒体提出的两人潜在的性格和性别问题。
May recently presented her plan for Britain’s departure from the European Union and that accepts Trump’s supports. May scoring the first sit-down with the new U.S. leader bolsters her position at home.Government sources here say what she wants now is the free trade deal that cuts tariffs.Warning from Trump’s predecessor that Britain would go to the back of the queue on trade deals now seems a distant memory.Theresa May has made it to the front of the line.
梅最近提出了英国脱离欧盟的计划,该计划获得特朗普的支持。梅成为首位和美国新任总统会面的政府首脑,这个机会将加强她在国内的地位。美国政府人士称,梅现在希望达成降低关税的自由贸易协议。特朗普前任总统有关延迟同英国达成贸易协议的警告,现在看来已成遥远的回忆。特蕾莎.梅已经排到了队伍的前面。
