Good morning. When the Guardian asked Canadian readers whether they planned to boycott(抵制) US products after dramatic escalation(升级,加剧)s in the ongoing DC/Ottawa trade war, we received more than 2,000 responses within 12 hours.
早上好。当《卫报》询问加拿大读者,在华盛顿与渥太华之间不断升级的贸易战中,他们是否计划抵制美国产品时,我们在12小时内收到了超过2000份回复。
This inundation(泛滥,大量涌入) is perhaps evidence of the existential(存在的,关乎存亡的) crisis many Canadians feel they now face, something often lost in the granular(细颗粒的,细致的) reporting of trade negotiations: this is about so much more than(远不止是) the price of lumber(木材,木料).
这种如潮水般的回复或许证明了许多加拿大人现在所面临的生存危机,而这种危机感在贸易谈判的细枝末节的报道中常常被忽略:这远不止是木材价格的问题。
Assailed by a US president who has repeatedly expressed a desire to consume(消耗,吞并) Canada into a supersized(超大号的) 51st state, the country has felt perpetually(永久地,不断地) on the brink of(处于……边缘) war – albeit(尽管,虽然) an economic one – since Donald Trump’s early second-term tariff salvo(齐射,猛攻) in February 2025. This culminate(达到顶点,以……告终)d in Canada’s finance minister announcing tit-for-tat(以牙还牙的) tariffs on key American industries yesterday, further incensing the US president.
面对一位屡次表示希望将加拿大吞并为“超大号第51个州”的美国总统,自2025年2月特朗普第二任期初期的关税猛攻以来,加拿大一直感觉处于战争边缘——尽管是经济战。这一局势在昨天达到顶点:加拿大财政部长宣布对美国关键行业实施对等关税,进一步激怒了美国总统。
