President Donald Trump signaled that he was making a major reversal on two campaign promises during an eye-opening interview with The Wall Street Journal Wednesday.
周三《华尔街日报》专访了美国总统唐纳德·特朗普，可谓让人大开眼界，特朗普示意会对竞选时许下的两个承诺进行大反转。
Trump told the Journal he is not going to label China a currency manipulator — something he promised he would do on the first day of his presidency — and that he is now in favor of the US Export-Import Bank, an entity he railed against during the campaign.特朗普告诉该报，他将不会给中国贴上外汇操纵者的标签，这和他上任第一天许诺的完全不一样。不仅如此，在此前参选过程中，他所一直反对美国进出口银行，如今他却与该行交好。"I beat the people from China," he said at a rally in South Carolina in July 2015. "I win against China. You can win against China if you're smart. But our people don't have a clue. We give state dinners to the heads of China. I said why are you doing state dinners for them? They're ripping us left and right. Just take them to McDonald's and go back to the negotiating table."2015年7月在南卡罗莱纳州的动员会上他说：“要打败中国人民”，“我完全可以赢过中国，你们只要足够聪明也可以打败中国人，但是你们缺乏技巧。我们可以宴请中国领导班子，他们搞得我们支离破碎。干脆请他们去吃麦当劳好了，然后再回到谈判桌上来。”Nearly a year later, in May 2016, Trump told an Indiana rally that the US "can’t continue to allow China to rape our country and that’s what they’re doing."一年以后，2016年的5月，在印第安纳州的动员会上，他说，美国不能在容许中国一如既往蹂躏他们。In June, he called Chinese leaders "grand chess masters" at manipulating their currency.同年六月，在他认为的中国操纵本国货币一事上，他把中国领导人称作“有手段的象棋大师。”"The single biggest weapon used against us and to destroy our companies is devaluation of currencies, and the greatest ever at that is China," he said at a New Hampshire rally. "Very smart, they are like grand chess masters. And we are like checkers players. But bad ones."他在新罕布什尔州的动员会上说，“中国运用了最简单又有效的武器来摧毁我们的公司，那就是利用货币的贬值，这是中国走的一步绝招。”“中国很聪明，就像伟大的象棋大师，而我们就像是跳棋选手，还是实力比较弱的那种。”Responding to the change, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Trump's move was “symptomatic of a lack of real, tough action on trade against China."美国参议院少数党领袖查克?舒默，看到特朗普的一系列举动，回应道：“很明显，在贸易上对抗中国，缺乏有诚意的、严厉的举措。”On the Export-Import Bank, Trump said the entity was "a very good thing."有关进出口银行的问题上，他表示，“这是一个非常好的机构。”Early in the campaign, Trump told Bloomberg's Mark Halperin that he didn't like the agency, which he said was "unnecessary."但是在早期参选的时候，特朗普告诉彭博社的马克?霍尔珀林，“他不觉得这个机构有什么好，按他的话说，这个机构没什么存在的必要。”"It's a one-way street also," he said. "It's sort of a feather bedding for politicians and others, and a few companies. And these are companies that can do very well without it. So I don't like it. I think it's a lot of excess baggage. I think it's unnecessary."
“这也是一条单行道，它就像是羽毛做的温床服务于政客还有其他人，以及一些公司。如果没有进出口银行的帮助，这些公司不会经营的这么好。所以我不喜欢这个机构，就像是额外的包袱，没有存在的必要。”Discussing the agency with The Journal on Wednesday, Trump said, "Instinctively, you would say, 'Isn't that a ridiculous thing.'" "But actually, it's a very good thing," he added. "And it actually makes money — it could make a lot of money."在周三接受华尔街采访的时候，特朗普说，“从本能的角度，你会说，进出口银行的存在是一件可笑的事情，但事实上它是一个不错的机构。”他补充道，“它真的可以挣钱，而且是大赚特赚。”Trump then took to Twitter early Wednesday evening hoping to assure supporters he was not flipping on his promises. “One by one we are keeping our promises – on the border, on energy, on jobs, on regulation,” he wrote. “ Big changes are happening!”特朗普随后在周三晚上发推特，希望自己的支持者不要动摇，自己不是说一套做一套的人。“在边界问题，能源问题，就业问题，政策问题上，我们都会履行诺言。大的变革正在发生。”
