On Tuesday, Canada imposed retaliatory tariffs on approximately $20 billion worth of goods in response to the latest round of US tariffs, serving as a countermeasure against US President Donald Trump.

加拿大周二针对美国最新一轮关税举措对价值约200亿美元的商品实施报复性征税以此作为对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普反制措施

The ramifications of this outcome may extend well beyond Canada, signaling to governments worldwide that it remains uncertain whether smaller U.S. allies can withstand Trump's economic coercion.

这一结果的影响或许远不止于加拿大它向各国政府表明较小的美国盟友能否顶住特朗普的经济压力尚属未知

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that American demands could progressively erode Canada's key industries and curtail its independence, while Trump's threats to Canadian sovereignty have galvanized public support around him.

加拿大总理马克·卡尼表示美国的要求可能逐步削弱加拿大的关键产业,并限制其独立性特朗普对加拿大主权的威胁促使公众团结在他周围

"Carney and Canada have become symbols of defiance against him," says Canadian historian Robert Bothwell.

"卡尼和加拿大已成为反抗他的象征,"加拿大历史学家罗伯特·博斯韦尔

"His intention is to use Carney and Canada as a case in point, theoretically deterring all other nations while practically demonstrating that they must further distance themselves from the United States."

"而他意图以卡尼和加拿大为例在理论上威慑其他所有国家同时切实表明他们需进一步疏远美国。"

These tariff measures affect hundreds of American products exported to China, spanning categories such as steel, aluminum, dairy products, household appliances, clothing, cosmetics, and agricultural equipment, with rates set at 15%, 25%, or 50% respectively.

这些关税措施波及数百种美国输华产品涵盖钢铁铝材乳制品家用电器服装化妆品农用设备等品类所征税率分别为15%25%50%

Canada asserts that its tariff measures remain commensurate with those of Washington in both monetary value and rate.

加拿大方面宣称其关税措施在金额与税率层面与华盛顿方面保持对等

These tariffs took effect at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, implemented under an executive decree known as an "Order in Council," covering approximately $20 billion worth of American goodsa figure that represents roughly 6 percent of the $333.6 billion in total U.S. exports to Canada last year.

这批关税于周二凌晨12:01正式生效依据一项名为枢密令”的行政法令实施涉及约200亿美元的美国商品这一数额约占去年美国对加拿大出口总额3336亿美元的6%

RBC Economics, the research arm of the Royal Bank of Canada, points out that while such measures are unlikely to undermine the overall momentum of U.S. economic growth, they could nevertheless deal a severe blow to certain businesses.

加拿大皇家银行旗下的研究机构RBC Economics指出此类举措不太可能削弱美国的整体经济增长势头,可能部分企业造成沉重打击

Canada has also moved beyond tariff barriers in other domains.

加拿大在其他领域超越关税壁垒

Of its ten provinces, eight continue to restrict or prohibit the sale of American alcoholic beverages.

十个省份有八个持续限制禁止美国酒类产品的销售。

According to the Distilled Spirits Council, once these restrictions took effect, the value of American spirits exports to Canada plummeted by more than seventy percent year on year.

据蒸馏酒委员会称上述限制措施生效后,美国烈酒对加拿大的出口额同比骤降逾七成

Since the collapse of Canada-U.S. trade negotiations on August 21, Trump and his administration have unleashed a barrage of tariff measures, threatening rhetoric, and personal attacks, portraying Canada as a weak and dependent nation.

自8月21日加美贸易谈判破裂以来特朗普及其政府接连发起关税措施威胁性言论针对个人的抨击将加拿大描绘成一个软弱且依附于他国的国家

On Monday, Trump issued a threat, stipulating that unless Bombardier establishes a manufacturing plant on American soil, its products would be barred from the U.S. market.

周一特朗普发出威胁除非庞巴迪公司在美国本土设厂制造飞机,否则其产品将被禁止进入美国市场销售。

"Bombardier will no longer sell in the U.S. market! The quality of their products is questionable!" Trump stated in a post on Truth Social.

庞巴迪将不再于美国市场销售其产品水准堪忧!”特朗普在Truth Social上发文称

"If they intend to enter our market, they must establish a factory in the U.S. and cease treating America as an 'ATM.'"

倘若他们意欲涉足我方市场必须在美设厂勿再将美国视作‘提款机’。”

Flavio Volpe, president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association of Canada (APMA), responded on X, noting that Bombardier's jet engines are manufactured by American firms General Electric and Honeywell, and that the company employs approximately three thousand American workers domestically.

加拿大汽车零部件制造商协会(APMA)主席弗拉维奥·沃尔普在X平台上回应称,庞巴迪所采用的喷气发动机系由美国通用电气霍尼韦尔公司制造,且该公司雇用了三千名美国本土工人

Trump had previously warned that if Carney insisted on treating him as an "enemy," Canada's economy could collapse, and he threatened to impose consequences "more severe than any that Canadian politicians have ever endured."

特朗普此前警告称,卡尼执意视他为“敌人”,加拿大经济或将崩溃威胁施加“比加拿大政界人士历来所承受的任何后果都更为严峻”的打击

United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer issued a threat, stating that as a countermeasure, Washington might directly prohibit the import of certain Canadian goods.

美国贸易代表贾米森·格里尔发出威胁,称作为反制措施,华盛顿方面或将直接禁止进口部分加拿大商品。

Trump even went so far as to rename Lake Ontario as 'Lake America,' a move that was met with a chilly reception and derision in Canada.

特朗普甚至将安大略湖更名为“美国湖”,此举在加拿大遭到冷遇讥讽

Under pressure from Trump, Google and Apple have adjusted their map labels for users in the United States.

谷歌苹果迫于特朗普的压力为美国用户调整了地图标注

On Monday, he posted on social media a map of North America draped in the American flag.

周一在社交媒体上发布了一幅覆盖着美国国旗北美地图

"After renaming bays and lakes, perhaps his next move will be to rename rivers?" remarked Daniel Béland, a political scientist at McGill University.

海湾湖泊易名之后,或许他接下来的举措便是为河流更名麦吉尔大学的政治学者丹尼尔·贝兰德如此评述道

Trump's trade war, coupled with his repeated remarks about making Canada the 51st state, has ignited public outrage and further consolidated support for Carney.

特朗普的贸易战及其屡次提及让加拿大成为第51个州的言论,激起了民众的愤慨并进一步巩固了对卡尼的支持

Canadians have significantly curtailed travel to the United States while simultaneously launching boycotts of American goods.

加拿大人大幅减少了赴美旅行同时对美国商品发起了抵制

The current trade conflict dates back to Trump's return to the White House, and despite having negotiated and repeatedly praised the North American trade agreement during his first term, he has nonetheless imposed a series of tariffs on Canadian goods, several of which run counter to that very agreement.

当前的贸易冲突始于特朗普再度入主白宫之后,尽管他在首个任期内北美贸易协定进行谈判屡次予以褒扬加拿大商品施加了一系列关税其中多项举措与该协定相悖

This rupture is particularly striking given that the two nations had long maintained one of the world's closest bilateral relationships, characterized by deep economic integration, robust defense and security cooperation, extensive cultural ties, and, prior to the deterioration in relations, approximately 400,000 cross-border crossings each day.

这一破裂之所以格外引人注目,是因为两国曾长期保持全球最紧密的双边关系之一,经济深度融合,防务与安全合作密切,文化联系广泛,且在关系恶化前,每日约有四十万人次跨境往来。

Carney stated that negotiations could only resume once Americans abandon the frivolity of crafting memes, cease their sarcastic jibes, and drop their pretence of toughness, instead adopting a genuinely serious demeanour.

卡尼表示当美国人摒弃制作表情包的轻浮之举不再冷嘲热讽亦不再故作强硬姿态”,转而展现出严肃认真的态度时,谈判方可得以恢复

Thus far, the pressure exerted by Trump has proven counterproductive in Canada, not only failing to compel concessions but actually bolstering support for Carney.

迄今为止特朗普施加的压力在加拿大适得其反非但未能迫使对方让步反而强化了对卡尼的支持

Nelson Wiseman, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Toronto, remarked that Trump's re-election in 2024 has deepened Canada's distrust of the United Statesnot only of its government, but also of the judgment of the American people.

多伦多大学政治学名誉教授纳尔逊·怀斯曼表示,特朗普2024年的连任加深了加拿大对美国的不信任——不仅是对其政府,也包括对美国人民判断力的不信任。

"Even in the absence of any confrontation, Canada-U.S. relations can never revert to their pre-Trump state," he asserted.

即便不存在任何对抗加美关系也永远无法回归特朗普执政前的状态了,”他如此断言

At the World Economic Forum in Davos in January, Carney issued a warning, pointing out that major powers are exploiting economic integration as a pretext to coerce weaker nations.

在1月达沃斯世界经济论坛上卡尼发出警示指出大国正借经济一体化之机胁迫弱小国家

These remarks swiftly propelled him to the forefront of the camp advocating resistance to Trump's strategies.

此番言论使他迅速崛起倡导抵制特朗普策略阵营中的领军人物

The following day, Trump retorted that Canada 'owes its very existence to the United States,' and issued a stern admonition: 'Mark, bear this in mind the next time you voice your opinions.'

特朗普翌日回应称加拿大因美国而存续”,严正警告:“马克下次发表言论时务必铭记此点。”

Carney is slated to address the European Parliament next week, affording him a pivotal international platform.

卡尼下周将在欧洲议会发表讲话这将为他提供一个举足轻重的国际舞台

"The Canadian public backs the Carney government, and the world's gaze is fixed on how events unfold," remarks Daniel Béland, a political scientist at McGill University.

加拿大公众支持卡尼政府全球目光正聚焦于事态之演变,”麦吉尔大学政治学家贝兰德如是说

Should Canada's strategy of resistance prove effective, he contends, it "could serve as a model for countering the Trump administration's trade policies."

加拿大之抗衡策略奏效他称可堪为抵制特朗普政府贸易政策之范本”。

Trump has further threatened to impose a 50% tariff on Canadian vehicles, auto parts, and steel next year should Canada fail to comply, a move that could deliver a devastating blow to industries reliant on the deeply integrated North American supply chain.

特朗普威胁称,若加拿大不就范明年将对加方车辆汽车零部件及钢材加征50%的关税,此举可能对依赖深度一体化北美供应链的行业造成毁灭性冲击

"We expect cars to be produced in Detroit, South Carolina, Tennessee, and everywhere else we manufacture them, rather than in Canada," Trump remarked.

我们期望汽车于底特律、南卡罗来纳州、田纳西州以及我们所有制造汽车之地进行生产而非在加拿大制造,”特朗普如是说

Imposing a 50% tariff on automobiles is highly likely to deal a severe blow to Canadian factories and drive up vehicle prices across North America, given that components and finished cars must repeatedly cross borders during the production process.

对汽车加征50%的关税极可能重创加拿大工厂推高整个北美地区的车价因为零部件成品车在生产过程中需反复跨境

Carney pointed out that the conditions put forward by Washington could cause Canada's domestic industries to "gradually wither away and ultimately face extinction."

卡尼指出华盛顿方面所提出的条件恐将致使加拿大本土产业逐步萎缩最终趋于消亡”。

Canada has been at a disadvantage from the outset: the U.S. economy is roughly thirteen times the size of Canada's, and over seventy percent of Canadian exports are destined for its southern neighbor.

加拿大自始便处于劣势地位美国经济规模约为加拿大的十三倍加拿大逾七成的出口输往其南部邻邦

Yet Beland insists that this is by no means an ordinary trade dispute.

贝兰德坚称绝非寻常的贸易摩擦

He specifically points out that Trump's low domestic approval ratings, the imminent midterm elections, and judicial challenges that could overturn further US tariff policies all constitute variables that cannot be overlooked.

特别指出特朗普在国内民意支持度低迷中期选举迫在眉睫加之可能推翻更多美国关税政策司法挑战,均构成不容忽视的变数

"Under ordinary circumstances, the outlook for Canada would be bleak," he remarked.

在通常情况下这对加拿大而言前景黯淡,”他表示

However, Washington, too, has its vulnerabilities.

然而华盛顿方面有其软肋所在

The U.S. refining industry relies on four million barrels of crude oil from Canada daily, and its agricultural sector is heavily dependent on Canadian potash.

美国炼油产业每日需仰赖加拿大供应的四百万桶原油其农业领域严重依赖加拿大的钾肥资源

Nevertheless, to date, Canadian leadership has explicitly ruled out the possibility of employing certain coercive measures, such as imposing tariffs or restrictions on key export commodities.

尽管如此迄今为止加拿大领导层已明确排除动用部分施压手段的可能性,诸如对关键出口商品课征关税实施限制等措施。

Canada enters this contest with a certain degree of economic momentum.

加拿大此番开局便挟带着一定的经济动能

Its second-quarter economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.2%, more than double the 1.5% expansion recorded by the United States over the same period.

第二季度经济按年率计算增长3.2%,这一增速是美国同期1.5%增幅的两倍有余

Industry Minister Mélanie Joly has unequivocally articulated the government's ambitious vision:

工业部长梅拉妮·若利明确阐述了政府的宏伟蓝图

I am firmly convinced that we will ultimately demonstrate to the world that Canada is destined to prevail in this trade war.

我深信我们终将向世界证明加拿大必能在这场贸易战中胜出
