今年，這些大事將影響世界，給你一份2017事件日歷

　　2016年是不平凡的一年，特朗普當(dāng)選、英國(guó)脫歐，一系列政治動(dòng)蕩重塑了世界格局。2017年，這個(gè)世界又將發(fā)生什么?英國(guó)《金融時(shí)報(bào)》(Financial Times)、《每日快報(bào)》(Daily Express)梳理了2017年將影響世界的9件大事，我們一起來(lái)看一看。
 

　　1月

　　Trump's inauguration

　　特朗普就職

　　Judging by his behaviour, the 45th US president will be in a hurry to make his mark.

　　從他的行事風(fēng)格來(lái)判斷，這位第45任美國(guó)總統(tǒng)將會(huì)急于留名于世。

　　Mr Trump has promised to act quickly to pull the US out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, revise and replace Obamacare, scrap the previous administration's clean energy policy, and much more.

　　特朗普承諾將迅速采取行動(dòng)讓美國(guó)退出跨太平洋伙伴關(guān)系協(xié)定(TPP)、修改并替換奧巴馬醫(yī)改計(jì)劃、廢棄前政府的清潔能源政策，此外還有許多其他舉措。

　　The new president's language in his inaugural address and his actions in his first few days in office will set the tone for his administration, even if Mr Trump remains his unpredictable, freewheeling self.

　　即便特朗普仍然變化無(wú)常，隨心所欲，這位新總統(tǒng)在就職演說(shuō)中的措辭以及他就任最初幾天的行動(dòng)還是會(huì)為他的政府任期確立基調(diào)。
 

　　3月

　　UK activates Article 50

　　英國(guó)啟動(dòng)脫歐程序

　　Nine months after the referendum that effectively scrapped half a century of British foreign and economic policy, the UK government is set to pull the trigger on the formal two-year exit process by the end of March.

　　脫歐公投事實(shí)上廢棄了英國(guó)50年來(lái)的外交和經(jīng)濟(jì)政策。公投9個(gè)月后，英國(guó)政府將于3月底前啟動(dòng)為期兩年的正式脫歐程序。

　　At present the direction of travel is not fully clear, but Theresa May's government has promised to set out a plan before triggering the EU's Article 50 divorce procedure. Even though that blueprint may not be detailed, the UK will also have to draw up a comprehensive negotiating strategy. Mrs May will seek to avoid shocking the markets, while encouraging inward investment and keeping the Conservative party's Brexiters on side. It could be difficult to pull off all three.

　　目前軌跡尚不清晰，但特雷莎·梅的政府承諾將在啟動(dòng)歐盟第50條脫歐程序之前制訂一項(xiàng)計(jì)劃。盡管該計(jì)劃或許并不詳盡，但英國(guó)還是必須制定綜合談判策略。梅姨將設(shè)法避免給市場(chǎng)帶來(lái)動(dòng)蕩，同時(shí)要鼓勵(lì)對(duì)內(nèi)投資，并籠絡(luò)保守黨內(nèi)的脫歐派。同時(shí)做到這三點(diǎn)可能非常困難。

　　The fight for Raqqa

　　拉卡之戰(zhàn)

　　After terrifying much of the world with their territorial gains in Syria and Iraq, the jihadis of Isis have been losing ground in both countries for almost two years. Recent months have been consumed by the battle for control of Mosul, Iraq's second city, which the extremists captured in 2014.

　　“伊斯蘭國(guó)”組織的圣戰(zhàn)分子曾在敘利亞和伊拉克攻城略地，令全世界許多國(guó)家感到恐懼。但如今，他們?cè)谶@兩個(gè)國(guó)家節(jié)節(jié)敗退已達(dá)將近兩年之久。近幾個(gè)月的重點(diǎn)是爭(zhēng)奪對(duì)摩蘇爾控制權(quán)的戰(zhàn)斗。摩蘇爾是伊拉克第二大城市，2014年被該組織的極端分子攻克。

　　Depending on the progress of that fight, the next push, possibly in early 2017, will be for Isis's de facto capital of Raqqa, in Syria.

　　根據(jù)摩蘇爾之戰(zhàn)的進(jìn)展，下一步的目標(biāo)將是“伊斯蘭國(guó)”組織事實(shí)上的“首都”——敘利亞城市拉卡，時(shí)間可能是在2017年年初。
 

　　4-5月

　　French presidential elections

　　法國(guó)總統(tǒng)大選

　　弗朗索瓦·菲永

　　After Brexit, the election of Donald Trump and the referendum No vote that ended Matteo Renzi's tenure as Italian prime minister comes the high-stakes election of 2017. France's political establishment will be seeking to resist the rise of Marine Le Pen, the National Front's presidential candidate.

　　在英國(guó)脫歐、唐納德·特朗普當(dāng)選、否決的公投結(jié)果斷送馬泰奧·倫齊的意大利總理任期之后，接下來(lái)就是2017年利害攸關(guān)的大選了。法國(guó)政界將設(shè)法遏制國(guó)民陣線候選人瑪麗娜·勒龐的崛起。

　　瑪麗娜·勒龐

　　Although she could win the initial round of voting, Ms Le Pen is widely expected to be beaten into second place in the run-off as moderate voters rally against her. The favourite is François Fillon of the conservative Republicans.

　　盡管勒龐可能會(huì)在第一輪投票中獲勝，但外界廣泛認(rèn)為她會(huì)在最后落敗，因?yàn)闇睾团蛇x民將會(huì)團(tuán)結(jié)起來(lái)反對(duì)她。熱門人選是保守的共和黨人弗朗索瓦·菲永。

　　Ms Le Pen wants France to leave the EU and her election would be an enormous blow for the embattled European bloc.

　　勒龐希望法國(guó)退出歐盟，她的當(dāng)選對(duì)于四面楚歌的歐盟來(lái)說(shuō)將是沉重的一擊。
 

　　5月

　　Iran's presidential race

　　伊朗總統(tǒng)大選

　　Over the past four years, despite initial expectations to the contrary, Hassan Rouhani has made his mark on Iran, notably through the country's nuclear deal with the US and five other world powers.

　　過(guò)去四年來(lái)，伊朗總統(tǒng)哈桑·魯哈尼出人意料，給伊朗打上了自己的印記，尤其值得一提的是該國(guó)與美國(guó)和其他五個(gè)世界大國(guó)達(dá)成的核協(xié)議。

　　Now, with the nuclear deal under strain from the arrival of Mr Trump, who has sometimes vowed to scrap it, Mr Rouhani faces the challenge of re-election — a vote hardliners will seek to influence. Whether he survives or not, and whether Iran takes a more confrontational path, will have big consequences for the Middle East and beyond.

　　如今，核協(xié)議因?yàn)樘乩势占磳⑸吓_(tái)而面臨壓力，因?yàn)樘乩势赵l(fā)誓要廢棄該協(xié)議。在這種情況下，魯哈尼面臨著連任的挑戰(zhàn)，因?yàn)閺?qiáng)硬派將試圖對(duì)這次選舉施加影響。他是否能獲勝，伊朗是否會(huì)走上更具對(duì)抗性的道路，將對(duì)中東乃至中東以外的地區(qū)產(chǎn)生重大影響。
 

　　全年

　　US Fed rate rises

　　美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)升息

　　US interest rates, along with the price of oil, are economic facts that can shake the world. For many people and places the key question of 2017 is how much higher they can go.

　　美國(guó)的利率與油價(jià)一樣，是能夠搖撼世界的經(jīng)濟(jì)要素。對(duì)許多人和許多國(guó)家來(lái)說(shuō)，2017年的關(guān)鍵問(wèn)題是利率會(huì)升高多少。

　　The US Federal Reserve, which in December raised benchmark rates for only the second time since the financial crisis, expects to do so three more times in 2017. Markets are not convinced that tightening will go so far. But in fact rates could rise still further.

　　美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)12月調(diào)高了基準(zhǔn)利率，而這僅是金融危機(jī)以來(lái)的第二次。預(yù)計(jì)美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)在2017年將三次升息。市場(chǎng)并不認(rèn)為收緊措施會(huì)有這樣大的力度。不過(guò)，事實(shí)上利率可能會(huì)進(jìn)一步上升。
 

　　上半年

　　Erdogan's referendum

　　土耳其公投

　　For almost 15 years, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has sought to expand his power in Turkey and in so doing has become the most influential leader since Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the country's modern founder.

　　將近15年以來(lái)，土耳其總統(tǒng)埃爾多安試圖擴(kuò)大自己在土耳其的權(quán)力。在這個(gè)過(guò)程中，他已經(jīng)成為自土耳其國(guó)父凱末爾以來(lái)最具影響力的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人。

　　In 2017, Mr Erdogan could finally achieve his central ambition: his formal ascension to the post of executive president, ruling the country as the undisputed head of both state and government.

　　2017年，埃爾多安可能終將實(shí)現(xiàn)自己最大的野心：他正式大權(quán)獨(dú)攬，作為無(wú)可爭(zhēng)議的國(guó)家和政府首腦統(tǒng)治土耳其。
 

　　秋季

　　China's National Congress of the Communist Party

　　中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨全國(guó)代表大會(huì)

　　China is playing an increasingly influential role on the world stage at a time when Mr Trump may try to make America more isolationist.

　　中國(guó)正在世界舞臺(tái)上扮演著越來(lái)越重要的角色，而特朗普卻有可能會(huì)使美國(guó)變得越來(lái)越孤立。

　　The global economy is also set to be affected by China’s economic slowdown after many years of rapid growth.

　　全球經(jīng)濟(jì)也將受到中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)在連續(xù)數(shù)年快速增長(zhǎng)之后放緩的影響。
 

　　9-10月

　　Germany's election

　　德國(guó)大選

　　Angela Merkel is now long established as the most important leader in Europe, if not the free world. But in 2017, as she seeks a fourth term in office, she faces a steep electoral challenge.

　　如今，默克爾早已確立為歐洲最重要的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人。但是，在2017年，隨著默克爾謀求第四個(gè)任期，她面臨著嚴(yán)峻的競(jìng)選挑戰(zhàn)。

　　If Mrs Merkel loses the next election, it will be a massive blow to the EU and the liberal world order in the West.

　　如果默克爾在下次大選中失利，對(duì)歐盟和西方自由世界秩序來(lái)說(shuō)將是一個(gè)巨大的打擊。
