On Thursday, US President Donald Trump extolled the "truly great friendship" he had forged with Xi Jinping, even as the Chinese leader embarked on a high-profile state visit and urged the world's two largest economies to deepen cooperation in order to avert friction, notwithstanding their mutual rivalry.

美國總統唐納德·特朗普於週四盛讚他與習近平所締結的「真正偉大的友誼」;與此同時,這位中國領導人展開了一場備受矚目的國事訪問,並敦促這兩個世界最大經濟體在彼此競爭之際深化合作,以規避摩擦。

Although Trump was obliged to deliberate a host of thorny issues with the leader of America's foremost economic rival, he nonetheless placed the emphasis squarely on his longstanding relationship with Xi Jinping as the two men, flanked by their aides, gathered together and delivered opening remarks ahead of their formal talks.

儘管特朗普須與這個美國最大經濟對手的領導人商討諸多棘手議題,然而,當兩人偕同助手齊聚一堂、於正式會談前發表開場講話之際,他仍將重心置於自己與習近平的長期關係之上。

"Since my first election in 2016, President Xi and I have forged a friendship—a truly great friendship, one that is in fact grounded in mutual respect and in the vital interests of our two peoples," Trump remarked.

「自2016年我首次當選以來,習主席與我便締結了一種友誼——一種真正偉大的友誼,實則奠基於相互尊重以及我們兩國人民切身利益之上,」特朗普說道。

China has consistently resisted the Trump administration's urging — namely, that it use its pivotal influence to press Iran into accepting American terms in order to end a war that has lasted nearly seven months — as well as the economic coercion that accompanied it.

中國始終抵制特朗普政府之敦促——即要求其運用舉足輕重之影響力,促使伊朗接受美國條件以終結歷時近七個月之戰爭——以及隨之而來之經濟脅迫。

Xi Jinping hopes that Trump will permanently halt arms sales to Taiwan and loosen export controls on cutting-edge advanced chips.

習近平冀望特朗普永久中止對台軍售,並鬆綁尖端先進晶片之出口管制。

On Wednesday, the two sides reached a consensus to extend by two months a one-year trade truce that had been set to expire on November 10, while working toward concluding a more enduring agreement.

雙方於週三達成共識,將原定於11月10日屆滿、為期一年之貿易休戰延長兩個月,同時致力締結一項更為持久之協議。

According to disclosures by Xinhua, the Chinese Communist Party's official mouthpiece, Xi Jinping, in the course of private conversations, likewise urged Trump to "handle the Taiwan issue with prudence."

據中國官方喉舌新華社披露,習近平於私下交談之際,亦敦促特朗普「審慎處理台灣問題」。

China has unequivocally declared that it regards Taiwan as the most sensitive core issue in Sino-American relations.

中國已明確宣示,其將台灣定位為中美關係中最為敏感的核心議題。

Beijing regards Taiwan as an inalienable part of Chinese territory and has vowed to annex the island by force should circumstances necessitate it.

北京方面視台灣為中國領土不可分割的一部分,並誓言在必要時將以武力兼并該島。

The United States is legally obligated to furnish Taiwan with sufficient weaponry so as to deter any armed attack emanating from the mainland.

美國依據法律負有向台灣提供充足武器裝備之義務,以嚇阻來自大陸的任何武裝攻擊。

The American side has stated that it opposes any unilateral alteration of the status quo by either party.

美方表示反對任何一方單方面改變現狀。

China has repeatedly urged Washington to permanently cease arms sales to Taiwan, including during the meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping in Beijing in May.

中國屢次敦促華盛頓永久終止對台軍售,其間亦包括特朗普與習近平於五月在北京會晤之際。

Following that meeting, Trump declared that he had held off granting final approval to a record-setting 14 billion US dollar arms sale package that had already been prepared and was ready for action.

於該次會晤之後,特朗普宣稱,其暫緩對一項業已籌備在案、規模堪稱創紀錄之140億美元軍售案作出最終批准。

He went so far as to extol arms sales to Taiwan as an "excellent bargaining chip" in his dealings with China.

他更將對台軍售譽為與中國周旋時「非常好的談判籌碼」。

In his public remarks, Xi Jinping was even more blunt in his phrasing than Trump, stating outright that the interests of China and the United States are "deeply intertwined," and adding that "competition should be healthy and should remain within bounds."

習近平於公開講話中,其措辭亦較特朗普更為直白,直言中美兩國利益「深度交融」,並謂「競爭應該是健康的,應該保持在界限之內」。

He reiterated his warning, asserting that the United States and China must by all means avert the "Thucydides Trap" — a term denoting that when a rising power seeks to supplant an established hegemony, armed conflict is frequently all but inevitable.

他復申其警示,謂美中兩國務須規避「修昔底德陷阱」——此語所指,乃新興強權意圖取代既有霸權之際,兵戎相見往往在所難免。

Xi Jinping had likewise issued a warning to much the same effect when Trump visited Beijing in May.

習近平亦曾於特朗普五月訪京之時,發出類乎此之告誡。

"This ought to be a mutually competitive race, rather than a zero-sum contest of strength," Xi added.

「此理當是一場相互競逐的賽事,而非一場零和博弈的角力,」習近平補充道。

Xi Jinping further announced that China would invite one hundred thousand young Americans to come to China for study and exchange over the next five years, and would present two giant pandas to Zoo Atlanta.

習近平復宣布,中國將於未來五載內延請十萬名美國青年來華研習交流,並將致贈亞特蘭大動物園兩隻大熊貓。

He praised these widely beloved creatures as "envoys of friendship" and said they would meet the American public "within a few days."

他譽此等廣受鍾愛之生靈為「友誼的使者」,且稱其將於「數日之內」與美國民眾相見。

In a social media post earlier on Thursday, Trump asserted that artificial intelligence — which he is seeking to rebrand as "super intelligence" — is poised to become a paramount priority on the agenda, given mounting global apprehension that the technology could obliterate jobs or even potentially bring about human extinction.

特朗普於週四早些時候在社交媒體上發文指稱,人工智慧——他正試圖將其重新包裝為「超級智慧」——勢將成為議程上的重中之重,此乃因全球日益憂慮該技術恐將消滅就業,甚或可能導致人類滅絕。

"I intend to keep it right where it is," Trump wrote.

「我意欲使其維持於當前位置,」特朗普寫道。

"This is also China's position."

「此亦中國之立場。」

In his opening address, Xi Jinping likewise touched upon artificial intelligence, asserting that the two nations bear the responsibility of ensuring that humanity always retains mastery over artificial intelligence.

習近平於開場致辭中亦論及人工智慧,謂兩國肩負確保人類始終主宰人工智慧之責。

"We possess both the capability and the responsibility to develop and govern artificial intelligence with goodness as the ultimate end, ensuring that its development remains at all times under human control and redounds to the well-being of the people," the Chinese leader remarked.

「我們既具備能力,亦肩負責任,以善為終極旨歸開發並治理人工智慧,確保其發展始終置於人類掌控之下,並裨益於人民福祉,」這位中國領導人如是說道。

The finance ministers of the two countries met earlier this week, during which the American side proposed establishing a new bilateral "notification mechanism" for artificial intelligence incidents.

兩國財政部長於本週稍早舉行了會晤,美方於席間提議建立一套針對人工智慧事件、橫跨雙邊之新「通報機制」。

Trump has made it abundantly clear that he hopes this visit will leave Xi Jinping with a profound impression.

特朗普業已明言,他冀望此番訪問能予習近平留下深刻印象。

The Republican president ensured that a new helipad on the South Lawn of the White House was completed ahead of the visit, and on Wednesday evening he met Xi Jinping upon his arrival with his wife, Peng Liyuan, at Joint Base Andrews on the outskirts of Washington.

這位共和黨總統確保白宮南草坪一座新的直升機停機坪於訪問前竣工,並於週三晚間在習近平偕夫人彭麗媛飛抵華盛頓郊外的安德魯斯聯合基地時與之會面。

The White House had also orchestrated a meticulously choreographed military review, which the two leaders and their spouses observed on the eve of their talks in the Oval Office.

白宮亦籌劃了一場精心擘畫的軍事檢閱,兩國領導人偕其配偶於橢圓形辦公室會談前夕觀賞了該檢閱。

After the review concluded, the first lady, Melania Trump, accompanied Peng Liyuan on a visit to the Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art.

檢閱禮成之後,第一夫人梅拉尼婭·特朗普陪同彭麗媛參訪了史密森尼國家亞洲藝術博物館。

After the roughly 90-minute talks drew to a close, the two leaders proceeded to the South Lawn, affording Trump the opportunity to showcase the White House's newly completed helicopter landing pad and to guide Xi on a tour of the presidential aircraft, Marine One.

歷時約90分鐘的會談落幕後,兩位領導人移步南草坪,讓特朗普得以展示白宮新落成的直升機停機坪,並引領習近平參觀總統專機「海軍陸戰隊一號」。

Trump and Xi also appeared to have surveyed the banquet hall construction site from a distance.

特朗普與習近平似亦曾自遠處眺望宴會廳施工現場。

Following his brief visit, Xi promptly departed the White House and was to return in the evening to attend the state banquet.

習近平於短暫參觀後旋即離開白宮,並將於晚間重返出席國宴。

"We had an extraordinarily excellent meeting," Trump remarked as he briefly engaged with reporters after the tour had concluded.

「我們舉行了一場至為卓越的會晤,」特朗普於參觀結束後與記者短暫交流之際如是說道。

Later, the two leaders will sample sea bass at a formal dinner in the White House East Room; the dinner, decorated predominantly in red, will also feature a toast honoring the late President Richard Nixon.

稍後,兩位領導人將於白宮東廳所設之正式晚宴上品嚐鱸魚;該晚宴以紅色為裝飾基調,席間並將舉杯向已故總統理查德·尼克松致敬。

Nixon's visit to China in 1972 paved the way for the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and China in 1979, as well as the formal severing of ties with Taiwan.

尼克松於1972年訪華,此舉促成了1979年中美建交,以及與台灣正式斷交。

Trump's rolling out of the red carpet for Xi Jinping has drawn censure from lawmakers of both parties and even from some of the White House's own allies.

特朗普為習近平鋪設紅地毯之舉,已招致兩黨議員乃至部分白宮盟友的詰難。

"Frankly, had the White House sought my counsel on this matter, I would have advised the president against inviting Xi Jinping to Washington and according him such lavish hospitality on American soil, inasmuch as a great many troubling issues subsist between us and Chairman Xi and the Chinese Communist Party," said Roger Wicker, the Republican senator from Mississippi.

「坦白而言,倘若白宮曾就此事徵詢我的意見,我必會建議總統切勿邀請習近平蒞臨華盛頓,並在美國本土給予其如此奢華之款待,蓋因我們與習主席及中國共產黨之間,存在著諸多令人不安的議題,」密西西比州共和黨參議員羅傑·威克如是說。

According to a report by China's state-run television network, CCTV, the two sides also exchanged views on the escalating conflict in Iran.

據中國官方電視台中央電視台報導,雙方亦就持續發酵中的伊朗衝突交換了意見。

Trump contended that China, being far more dependent on Gulf oil than the United States, had every incentive to leverage its influence over Tehran to help bring the conflict to an end, yet its efforts bore scant fruit.

特朗普主張,中國對海灣石油之依賴遠甚於美國,故而具備充分動機,運用其對德黑蘭之影響力協助推動衝突終結,然收效甚微。

Nevertheless, the war that Trump has chosen has left Beijing profoundly uneasy; the Chinese government has condemned the military actions of the United States and Israel, and Xi Jinping had previously voiced his apprehension as well, declaring that this conflict signalled a return to what he calls the "law of the jungle".

然而,特朗普所擇之戰事令北京深感不安;中國政府譴責美國與以色列之軍事行動,習近平此前亦曾表達憂慮,稱此衝突標誌著回歸其口中所謂「叢林法則」。

The American government has issued a warning to China — Tehran's largest trading partner — not to assist Iran's military operations.

美國政府已向中國——德黑蘭最大之貿易夥伴——發出警告,勿援助伊朗之軍事行動。

According to a CCTV report, Xi stated during Thursday's talks that China supports the United States and Iran in returning to a short-lived interim agreement concluded this summer, in an effort to bring the war to an end.

據央視報導,習近平於週四會談中申明,中國支持美國與伊朗重返今夏所締結之一項短暫臨時協議,以致力終結戰爭。

That agreement collapsed almost immediately after it was signed in June, owing to the two countries resuming hostilities over control of the Strait of Hormuz — a waterway of pivotal importance to energy transport.

該協議於6月簽署後旋即破裂,蓋兩國就霍爾木茲海峽——此乃能源運輸之關鍵水道——之控制權再度交火所致。
