WE LEAD TWO countries that do not have the luxury of(没有...的奢侈/无法奢望) relying on old orders of geography. Finland shares a border with a Russia that is waging(发动(战争)) a war of aggression against Ukraine and actively interfering(干涉、干预) in other societies instead of reforming its own. Canada shares the world’s longest land border with a United States that is reassessing its priorities and transforming all its commercial relationships.(加拿大与美国共享世界上最长的陆地边界,而美国正在重新评估其优先事项并转变所有商业关系。)
我们领导的两个国家无法奢望依赖旧的地缘秩序。芬兰与俄罗斯接壤,而俄罗斯正在对乌克兰发动侵略战争,并积极干预其他社会,而非改革自身。加拿大与美国共享世界上最长的陆地边界,而美国正在重新评估其优先事项并转变所有商业关系。
At the same time, we are striking closer relations(建立更密切的关系) with powers like India and, while avoiding strategic dependencies, China, as well as with countries of the Global South, because power no longer exclusively sits at a single Western centre. Power is spread across three groupings: a Global West, a Global East and a Global South, each increasingly autonomous(自主的、自治的). Truly global trends, including power over compute, data and artificial-intelligence models, are spawning(催生、产生) a fourth, technology-driven grouping, shaping how we live, work and connect—unconstrained by borders(不受边界限制) and accountable to few rules.
与此同时,我们正在与印度等大国建立更密切的关系,并且在避免战略依赖的同时,也与中国以及全球南方国家建立关系,因为权力不再独属于某一个西方中心。权力分布在三大集团:全球西方、全球东方和全球南方,每个集团都日益自主。真正的全球趋势——包括对算力、数据和人工智能模型的控制——正在催生第四个由技术驱动的集团,塑造我们生活、工作和连接的方式,它不受边界限制,也很少受规则约束。
The world order built after 1945 is unravelling(瓦解、解体). Institutions as they stand are ill-prepared to(准备不足、没有准备好) avert this decline. This is a moment that comes once in a century, in which our collective prosperity is defined by what we choose to build, and how we build it.(这是一个百年一遇的时刻,我们的集体繁荣取决于我们选择建设什么以及如何建设。)
1945年后建立的世界秩序正在瓦解。现有的机构准备不足,无法避免这一衰落。这是一个百年一遇的时刻,我们的集体繁荣取决于我们选择建设什么,以及如何建设。
Middle powers of the world, unite!
