Brexit Resounds¹ in US Presidential Contest 英国脱欧影响美国总统竞选走向

WASHINGTON—

Britain’s decision to leave the European Union is resounding² in America’s presidential race. Republican presumptive nominee³ Donald Trump⁴ sees Britain’s move as an affirmation of his campaign’s core messages, while Democrat⁵ Hillary Clinton sees the episode as further evidence Trump is unfit to be president.

Brexit’s surprise victory left the Obama administration scrambling⁶ to put the best face on an outcome it didn’t want.

英国出乎意料地成功退出欧盟,对于这个并不期待的结果，奥巴马政府只能尽力掩盖其不满。

“One country has made a decision. Obviously, it was a decision that the United States had hoped would go the other way. But it didn’t. And so we begin with a fundamental respect for voters.”

“英国已经做出了退出欧盟的决定。显而易见，美国希望英国能够继续留在欧盟，但公投结果并非如此。所以，我们要给予投票者最基本的尊重。”

But Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump appeared to welcome the outcome.

但是，共和党总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普看起来很欢迎这个结果。

“People want to take their country back. They want to have independence, in a sense. I really do see a parallel between what’s happening in the United States and what’s happening here. People want to see borders.”

“人们想把自己的国家夺回来。在某种意义上来说，他们想要独立。我真的认为，美国和英国的情况有一些相似之处。人们想看到界线。”

In a volatile⁷ world, the last thing we need is a volatile president.

在这个动荡的世界，我们最不需要的就是反复无常的总统。

Democratic presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign pounced⁸ on Trump’s assertion that British monetary⁹ turmoil¹⁰ might benefit his business venture in Scotland.

民主党总统候选人希拉里·克林顿对特朗普的观点予以攻击，称特朗普在苏格兰的企业会从英国的货币动荡中受益。

“Every president is tested by world events. But Donald Trump thinks about how his golf resort can profit from them.”

“每个总统都受到世界事件的考验。但唐纳德·特朗普考虑的只是如何使高尔夫度假区受益。”

But if the Brexit vote illuminated¹¹ public discontent on one side of the Atlantic, Republicans say similar sentiments exist on the other side, as well.

但是共产党人认为，如果英国脱欧公投能够说明大西洋一岸（英国）公众的不满，那么这种不满的情绪也存在于大西洋的另一岸（美国）。

“What you saw in England, at least from what I read, is (that) people got tired of being dictated¹² to by unelected bureaucrats¹³ in Brussels. And of course we have a lot of that here in this country. A lot of the president’s bureaucrats expanding regulations in a way that slows our economy and makes it difficult to have growth.”

“在我看来，英国发生的事情说明：人们厌烦了被布鲁塞尔未经选举的官僚们指手画脚。在美国，我们当然也能有很多这样的呼声。很多政府官员的过多监管使得经济增长缓慢，使其很难增长。”

A new poll shows Clinton leading Trump (by 12 points), but most voters want a new direction for America. Democrats¹⁴ insisted the electorate¹⁵ is not blinded by unease and discontent.

新一轮民调表明，克林顿领先特朗普12个百分点，但大多数投票者希望美国有一个新的发展方向。民主党人坚持认为，选民们没有被不安和不满蒙蔽。

“The differences between Secretary Clinton and Donald Trump in terms of temperament¹⁶, in terms of judgment¹⁷, in terms of values couldn’t be more stark¹⁸. And they are on display once again over the last two weeks.”

“国务卿克林顿和唐纳德·特朗普的性格、辨别力和价值观完全不同。在过去两周里，他们再一次公开竞选。”

A trans-Atlantic shockwave rattling¹⁹ a lackluster U.S. economic recovery could be a wild card in the election. The Obama administration is stressing the need to minimize disruptions stemming from Brexit.

大西洋彼岸的这场风波使人们惊慌失措：低迷的美国经济复苏是总统竞选中的变数。奥巴马总统强调，要尽量减少英国脱欧带来的混乱。
