On Thursday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney welcomed the prospect of Canada becoming the EU's first associate member, stating that closer ties with the European continent would ensure that no country could control Canada's markets or undermine its sovereignty.

加拿大总理马克·卡尼周四对加拿大成为欧盟首个准成员国的前景表示欢迎,并称与欧洲大陆的更紧密关系将确保任何国家都无法控制加拿大的市场或破坏其主权。

In his speech to the European Parliament, Carney repeatedly praised cooperation between Europe and Canadayet the relationship with the United States cast a shadow over the entire address.

卡尼在欧洲议会的演讲中一再赞扬欧洲与加拿大之间的合作——与美国的关系笼罩着整场讲话

For decades, the United States had been the defining force in Canada's economy, but that relationship is now increasingly deteriorating.

数十年来美国一直是加拿大经济的定义者,而如今这一关系日益恶化。

Trump's tariffs, his demands for economic concessions, and his repeated threats to make Canada the 51st state have prompted Ottawa to reduce its reliance on its neighbour and to seek deeper economic, security and political ties with Europe.

特朗普的关税、对经济让步的要求,以及一再扬言要让加拿大成为第51个州,已促使渥太华减少对邻国的依赖,并寻求与欧洲建立更深远的经济、安全和政治关系。

Carney told parliament that he welcomed the proposal put forward on Wednesday by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, but he acknowledged that the status of "quasi-membership" has yet to be defined.

卡尼对议会表示,他欢迎欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩周三提出的提议,但他承认“准成员国”身份仍有待界定。

He set out his proposal: to deepen integration in areas such as trade, defence, critical minerals, artificial intelligence, energy, space, research and financial services, so that both sides would be less vulnerable to economic and geopolitical pressure.

阐述了自己的提议贸易国防关键矿产人工智能能源航天研究金融服务等领域深化一体化,使双方都不那么容易受到经济和地缘政治压力的影响。

He subsequently told reporters that he was not seeking full EU membership.

他随后对记者表示他并不寻求欧盟的正式成员国身份。

"We do not seek the power to dominate others," he said.

我们寻求支配他人的权力,”他说

"On the contrary, what we seek is resilience, so that no one can control our open markets, undermine our sovereignty, threaten our territorial integrity, or destroy our freedom, democracy and the rule of law."

相反我们追求的是韧性这样没有人能控制我们的开放市场损害我们的主权威胁我们的领土完整或破坏我们的自由民主和法治。”

When the prime minister entered the parliamentary chamber in Strasbourg, France, he received a warm welcomemany lawmakers came up to shake his hand and ask for selfiesand after his speech, the entire hall gave him a standing ovation.

当这位总理步入位于法国斯特拉斯堡的议会大厅时,他受到了热烈的欢迎——许多议员走上前与他握手并请求自拍——演讲结束后全场起立鼓掌

On Wednesday, von der Leyen proposed making Canada the EU's first quasi-member statea status that does not yet exist in the EU treaties and would have to be created.

周三冯德莱恩提议让加拿大成为欧盟首个准成员国——这一地位在欧盟条约中尚不存在必须予以创设

She said that Europe wants to elevate its relationship with Canada to "the highest possible level."

她表示欧洲希望将其与加拿大的关系提升至尽可能最高的水平”。

Carney, seated in the front row of parliament, nodded, rose to embrace von der Leyen, while lawmakers responded to the proposal with a standing ovation.

卡尼坐在议会前排,点头并起身拥抱冯德莱恩,议员们则对这项提议报以起立鼓掌。

Von der Leyen stated that Canada and the EU should move beyond their existing free trade agreement to forge a "future alliance" encompassing a "shared space of prosperity and economic security."

冯德莱恩表示加拿大欧盟超越现有的自由贸易协定打造一个涵盖“共同繁荣与经济安全空间”的“未来联盟”。

Carney will host a summit of EU leaders in Montreal from October 29 to 30, at which the two sides are expected to hold more detailed discussions on the proposed new relationship.

卡尼将于10月29日至30日在蒙特利尔主办欧盟领导人峰会,届时双方预计将就拟议中的新关系进行更详细的讨论。

Exports to the United States account for roughly 70% of Canada's total exports, which makes it highly vulnerable to Trump's tariffs.

加拿大对美出口约占其出口总额的70%这使其极易受到特朗普关税的冲击。

Ottawa has already taken retaliatory measures and has rejected demands that Carney says threaten Canada's sovereignty.

渥太华已采取报复措施并拒绝了卡尼所说的威胁加拿大主权的要求

Europe, by contrast, chose a different path, shelving retaliatory measures and accepting US tariffs of up to 15% on most EU exports.

欧洲则选择了另一条道路,搁置报复措施,接受美国对大多数欧盟出口商品征收最高15%的关税。

Trump hinted that the proposed EU arrangement could amount to a "hostile act," and threatened to impose steep tariffs on Europe should he judge its intentions to be unfriendlyraising the stakes ahead of Carney's speech.

特朗普暗示拟议中的欧盟安排可能构成一种敌对行为”,并威胁称一旦他判定欧洲的意图不友好就对欧洲征收高额关税——这在卡尼演讲前提高了赌注

When asked about Trump's remarks, Carney said that Canadians remain united in rejecting any attempt by external forces to sway their country's choices.

当被问及特朗普的相关言论时,卡尼表示,在拒绝外部势力企图左右本国抉择这一问题上,加拿大民众始终团结一致。

"Canadians are united on one point: no one can tell us what language to speak. No one can dictate our culture, or prescribe whom we may enter into international agreements with," Carney said.

“加拿大人在一点上是团结的:没有人能告诉我们该说什么语言。没有人能支配我们的文化,或规定我们可以与谁达成国际协议,”卡尼说。

Carney has repeatedly urged what he calls "middle powers" to resist economic coercion.

卡尼一再敦促他所谓的中等强国抵制经济胁迫

At the World Economic Forum in Davos in January, he warned that when countries negotiate alone with a dominant power, "we are negotiating from a position of weakness. We can only accept the terms others set."

在1月达沃斯世界经济论坛他警告说当国家单独与一个主导大国谈判时,“我们是在弱势中谈判我们只能接受别人开出的条件。”

The very next day, Trump rebuked him.

翌日,特朗普便对他予以了斥责。

Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada's ambassador-designate to the European Union, said that Ottawa hopes to maintain relations with Europe that are "as close as possible" while strengthening Canada's independence.

加拿大候任驻欧盟大使乔纳森·威尔金森表示,渥太华方面希望与欧洲保持“尽可能接近”的关系,同时增强加拿大的独立性。

Although associate membership is still subject to negotiation, Canada has already taken a significant step.

尽管准成员国身份尚待谈判加拿大已迈出重要一步

This year, it became the first non-European country to join the EU's 150 billion ($173 billion) SAFE defence procurement programme, enabling Canadian firms to take part in joint purchasing as Europe ramps up its defence spending.

今年成为首个加入欧盟1500亿欧元1730亿美元SAFE防务采购计划非欧洲国家使加拿大企业得以在欧洲增加防务开支之际参与联合采购

The two sides also discussed closer cooperation in energy, critical minerals, artificial intelligence and digital trade.

双方还讨论了在能源、关键矿产、人工智能和数字贸易方面更紧密的合作。

Carney stated that any move to strengthen the partnership with the EU would be debated in Canada's parliament and ultimately put to a vote.

卡尼表示,任何与欧盟强化伙伴关系的举措都将在加拿大议会进行辩论,并最终付诸表决。

"The Trump administration's policies and rhetoric are clearly prompting Canada and the EU to envision a world without strong American leadership, and to act accordingly," said Daniel Béland, a professor of political science at McGill University in Montreal.

“特朗普政府的政策与言论显然正促使加拿大和欧盟去构想一个没有强有力美国领导的世界,并据此采取行动,”蒙特利尔麦吉尔大学政治学教授丹尼尔·贝朗说。

Nelson Wiseman, a professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, says that given the deep economic and political ties between Canada and the United States, Europeans have long regarded Canada as a country with a particularly strong understanding of America.

多伦多大学荣休教授纳尔逊·怀斯曼表示鉴于加拿大与美国之间深厚的经济和政治联系欧洲人长期以来一直将加拿大视为一个特别了解美国的国家

He says Carney's willingness to stand up to Trump rather than quickly accede to Washington's demands has only reinforced that perception.

他说卡尼愿意抵制特朗普而非迅速接受华盛顿的要求进一步强化了这种看法。

"Carney's shrewdness in dealing with Trump has caught Europe's attention," Wiseman said.

“卡尼在与特朗普打交道时的精明引起了欧洲的注意,”怀斯曼说。
