A guest list packed with tech luminaries, the sartorial choices of those on it, who sits where, the body language throughout the evening, and what is on the menu: these are the softer — and often more glamorous — details of diplomacy.

一份科技界云集的宾客名单、名单上人物的着装选择、谁坐在哪里、整晚的肢体语言以及菜单上有什么:这些是外交中较为软性——往往也更光鲜——的细节。

At Thursday's state banquet, such details will be scrutinized closely and may offer clues as to where matters actually stand on the more consequential policy issues when President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping meet behind closed doors.

在周四的国宴上,这些细节将受到密切关注,或可为唐纳德·特朗普总统与中国领导人习近平在闭门讨论中,就更为重要的政策问题究竟处于何种状态提供线索。

During their formal talks, the two leaders were likely to focus on tensions over Taiwan, trade, and artificial intelligence — even as an ongoing First Amendment dispute over press access to the White House was playing out at the same time.

在正式会晤期间,两位领导人可能聚焦于台湾、贸易和人工智能方面的紧张关系——即便与此同时,围绕白宫记者准入的一场持续的第一修正案之争正在展开。

But attention then shifted to the glamorous details of the lavish state dinner held in the East Room of the White House for Xi Jinping and his wife, Peng Liyuan.

但随后,注意力转向了在白宫东厅为习近平及其夫人彭丽媛举行的盛大晚宴的那些光鲜细节。

"Everyone is dying to be there," Trump said this week during the UN General Assembly. "It is without question the hottest ticket in town."

“人人都渴望亲临现场,”特朗普本周在联合国大会期间表示,“这无疑是全城最炙手可热的入场券。”

On Monday evening, when asked who exactly would be attending, the president responded by saying "just about everybody," and went on to add: "I'd say the entire tech world, the entire banking industry, and people from even more fields will be there."

周一晚,当被问及究竟有哪些人将出席时,总统回应称“差不多所有人”,并进一步补充道:“我会说,整个科技界、整个银行业,乃至更多领域的人都会到场。”

Edgar Kagan, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and chair of its China studies program, said the dinner is expected to showcase "the positive atmosphere surrounding this visit" and to signal that "the president places great emphasis on projecting warm rapport and a close personal relationship with Xi Jinping."

战略与国际研究中心高级顾问兼中国研究项目主席埃德加·卡根表示,这场晚宴预计将展示“围绕此次访问的积极氛围”,并表明“总统非常注重释放与习近平的温暖情谊和密切个人关系”。

The office of First Lady Melania Trump has revealed that she was involved in co-organizing the preparations for this dinner.

第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普的办公室透露,她曾参与协办此次晚宴的筹备事宜。

According to the menu, the first course is a yellow pumpkin soup, accompanied by wild mushrooms, fresh herbs, and crispy Italian bacon, finished with a drizzle of scallion oil.

据菜单所示,头盘为黄南瓜浓汤,佐以野生蘑菇、新鲜香草及酥脆意式培根,并淋上葱油。

Next, guests will enjoy sea bass with a sesame crust, accompanied by braised baby bok choy, roasted garden eggplant, and a green sauce.

随后,宾客将品尝芝麻脆皮海鲈鱼,佐以烩小油菜、烤园茄和绿酱。

Desserts will include vanilla custard with sour cherry jam, a walnut and almond cream tart, and ice cream served with White House honey.

甜点则包括香草奶油冻配酸樱桃果酱、核桃杏仁奶油馅饼,以及佐以白宫蜂蜜的冰淇淋。

Before this dinner, the president took the unusual step on Wednesday of personally traveling to Joint Base Andrews outside Washington to welcome Xi Jinping and his wife.

在这场晚宴之前,总统于周三采取了一项不同寻常的举措,亲自前往华盛顿郊外的安德鲁斯联合基地迎接习近平及其夫人。

Normally, the president waits until guests on a state visit arrive at the White House before giving them a formal welcome.

通常情况下,总统会等到国事访问的宾客抵达白宫后,才给予正式欢迎。

A red carpet stretching 100 feet (30 meters) was laid out in front of Xi Jinping's plane, with a 21-member honor guard lined up on either side.

习近平的专机前方铺展着一条长达100英尺(30米)的红地毯,两侧列有由21人组成的仪仗队。

Two American children presented yellow bouquets to Xi Jinping and his wife, while two B-1 bombers conducted a deafening flyover.

两名美国儿童向习近平及其夫人献上黄色花束,与此同时,两架B-1轰炸机进行了震耳欲聋的飞越。

Earlier on Thursday, at another welcoming ceremony held at the White House, Trump and Xi watched together as soldiers marched in formation around the South Lawn.

而在周四早些时候于白宫举行的另一场欢迎仪式上,特朗普与习近平共同观摩了军人绕南草坪行进的队列。

The US president said, "Since I was first elected in 2016, President Xi and I have forged a friendship."

这位美国总统表示:“自2016年我首次当选以来,习近平主席与我便已缔结了友谊。”

Thursday's dinner will be attended by a number of tech industry titans, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk of Tesla and SpaceX, Google's Sundar Pichai, OpenAI president Greg Brockman, and Michael Dell, chief executive of Dell Technologies.

周四的晚宴将有多位科技行业巨头出席,包括亚马逊创始人杰夫·贝索斯、特斯拉和SpaceX的埃隆·马斯克、谷歌的桑达尔·皮查伊、OpenAI总裁格雷格·布罗克曼以及戴尔科技公司首席执行官迈克尔·戴尔。

In May of this year, during his visit to Beijing, Xi Jinping hosted a state banquet for Trump beneath the dazzling chandeliers of the Great Hall of the People.

今年5月,习近平在北京访问期间,曾在人民大会堂璀璨的枝形吊灯下为特朗普举行国宴。

That event likewise brought together numerous prominent figures from the tech world, who are also very likely to make an appearance at the White House on this occasion, among them former Apple CEO Tim Cook, Musk, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

那场活动同样汇聚了众多科技界名流,他们此次很可能也会现身白宫,其中包括苹果前首席执行官蒂姆·库克、马斯克以及英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋。

After that, Trump began calling the White House ballroom he was having built the 'Great Hall of the American People,' so as to rival the place where he had dined in China.

此后,特朗普便将他正在修建的白宫宴会厅称作“美国人民大会堂”,以与他曾在中国用餐的地点相匹敌。

"It is an extraordinarily grand hall," Trump said recently when speaking of the Great Hall of the People, before adding, "but we will surely surpass it."

“这是一个规模极为宏大的大厅,”特朗普近期在谈及人民大会堂时如此表示,随后又补充道,“但我们必将超越它。”

In 2015, then-President Barack Obama was preparing to host a state visit for Xi Jinping, and Trump, who was running for president for the first time at that point, criticized all the fanfare surrounding it.

2015年,时任总统巴拉克·奥巴马正筹备为习近平举行国事访问,而当时首次竞选总统的特朗普对这一切喧嚣提出了批评。

"Just take them to McDonald's, and then get back to the negotiating table," Trump said at a rally in South Carolina at the time.

“直接带他们去麦当劳,随后再回到谈判桌,”特朗普当时在南卡罗来纳州的一场集会上说道。

He later admitted on Fox News that Xi might at least deserve "about a Double Big Mac."

他后来在福克斯新闻频道上承认,习近平至少可能配得上“大概一个双份巨无霸”。

Xi Jinping met with Trump for the first time in 2017.

习近平于2017年首次与特朗普会晤。

However, the White House indicated that the Chinese side preferred to hold that meeting at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, a venue regarded as a more relaxed and comfortable setting that might help to temper, to some extent, the high expectations surrounding a formal summit in Washington.

然而,白宫方面表示,中方倾向于将那次会晤安排在特朗普位于佛罗里达州的海湖庄园举行,该地点被视为一个更为轻松惬意的环境,或有助于在一定程度上缓和外界对华盛顿正式峰会所抱持的较高期待。

However, the absence of grand ceremony does not necessarily mean there will be no extraordinary moments; indeed, this very fact highlights just how significant a dinner between the Chinese leader and Trump could prove to be.

然而,缺乏盛大排场并不必然意味着没有非凡时刻,这恰恰凸显出中国领导人与特朗普共进晚餐可能具有何等重要的意义。

Later, when Trump recounted the episode on Fox News, he said that shortly after dinner he caught Xi Jinping off guard by pointing out that the United States was striking Syria, just as the two of them were enjoying "the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen, and President Xi was enjoying it."

特朗普后来在福克斯新闻频道回顾这一事件时表示,他在晚餐后不久对习近平来了个突然袭击,指出美国正在打击叙利亚,而当时两人正在享用“你见过的最漂亮的一块巧克力蛋糕,习近平主席正吃得高兴”。

Trump said he had told Xi that the US military had "just fired 59 missiles," while the Chinese president was at that moment "eating his cake. He was silent."

特朗普表示,他曾告诉习近平,美军“刚刚发射了59枚导弹”,而中国国家主席当时“正在吃他的蛋糕。他沉默不语。”
