CNN News: 北約軍費問題引熱議

It`s been a problem for decades, I would say 20, 30 years.
這是個存在了幾十年的問題了，我想說應該有二三十年了。
Many U.S. presidents have talked about NATO members meeting to take on more of the burden.
許多美國總統(tǒng)都曾談過北約成員國應承擔更多責任的問題。
President Trump wouldn`t be the first president that has tried to do this. President Obama made the case, as did President Bush before him.
特普朗不是第一位做此嘗試的總統(tǒng)。奧巴馬總統(tǒng)曾做過同樣的事，在奧巴馬之前小布什總統(tǒng)也曾做過。
There was a breakthrough in 2014 at a summit in Wales. But there are other factors. In 2014, we saw the rise of ISIS and we also saw Russia and Vladimir Putin moving into Ukraine and annexing Crimea. And those things really, really scared people in Europe. It was a huge incentive to spend more so that they can defend themselves.
2014年的威爾士峰會上曾有過一次突破。但事出有因。2014年，我們見證了伊斯蘭國組織的崛起，俄羅斯以及弗拉基米爾·普京突進烏克蘭，吞并克里米亞。而這些事情給歐洲人造成非常大的恐懼。這是一個極大的誘因，促使他們愿意去花費更多從而達到捍衛(wèi)自己的目的。
It`s a struggle because many European countries are having their own domestic economic woes that are limiting their ability to spend on defense.
這是一場斗爭，因為許多歐洲國家都面臨著本國國內經濟的不景氣，從而限制了他們在國防上的花費。
President Trump has really made this a cornerstone of his campaign certainly and now of his foreign policy, and has even threatening to withdraw from the alliance if the U.S. -- if other countries don`t pay more.
特朗普總統(tǒng)實打實地曾把這一點作為他的競選基石，現(xiàn)在又作為他的外交政策，甚至威脅稱如果其他國家不撥出更多軍費的話就會退出聯(lián)盟。
I think he has put the fear to some countries, with a lot of his rhetoric during the campaign. He was very equivocal about whether the U.S. needs NATO. And I think that unsettled people.
我想他在競選期間的言辭已經嚇到了一些國家。他非常懷疑美國是否需要北約。我認為這使人們產生了質疑。
His bellicose nature has certainly reignited the flame, but that flame was already burning.
他好戰(zhàn)的本性的確再次燃起了這團火，但這團火其實早就已經在燃燒了。
NATO members are willing to pay more and they are coming up with plans to lay out an outline for how they`re going to pay more. The U.S. wants them to commit to a 10-year plan. A lot of countries aren`t ready to do that.
北約成員國愿意付出更多，他們正在制定相關計劃，希望就怎樣出資更多軍費做出一個綱要。美國希望他們承諾拿出一個10年計劃。然而許多國家還沒有準備好這樣做。
It`s going to be a constant balancing act for them and quite frankly for the Trump administration going forward.
這將是對他們——坦率地說也是對特朗普政府——的一個持續(xù)的權衡行為。
