Europe woke up last Friday to another belligerent(好斗的；交战的) outburst from Donald Trump – this time berating(严厉指责；斥责) Ukraine’s wartime leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy again. Just a few days after his diesel deal with the Kremlin, the US president said Zelenskyy was more difficult to deal with than Vladimir Putin and blamed Ukraine’s leader for rocketing oil prices – without any reference to the impact of his own war on Iran.(就在与克里姆林宫达成柴油协议几天后，美国总统表示泽连斯基比普京更难打交道，并指责乌克兰领导人导致油价飙升——却只字不提他自己对伊朗的战争所造成的影响。)
上周五，欧洲一觉醒来，又听到唐纳德·特朗普发出好斗的言论——这次他再次斥责乌克兰战时领导人弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基。就在与克里姆林宫达成柴油协议几天后，这位美国总统表示，泽连斯基比弗拉基米尔·普京更难打交道，并指责乌克兰领导人导致油价飙升——却只字不提他自己对伊朗的战争所造成的影响。
The contrast in Europe was obvious. When Zelenskyy walked into the multi-coloured summit room of the European Council headquarters in Brussels that Friday morning, the EU’s 27 leaders burst into applause, getting to their feet to offer big hugs and brisk handshakes.(那个周五上午，当泽连斯基走进布鲁塞尔欧洲理事会总部色彩缤纷的峰会会议室时，欧盟27国领导人爆发出掌声，纷纷起身给予热烈拥抱和干脆有力的握手。) European Council president António Costa told Zelenskyy and the media: “This is no time to withdraw the support to Ukraine,” calling instead for increased pressure on Russia. Zelenskyy was thankful, pointedly(刻意地；意味深长地) saying he was happy to have “huge support” from “real leaders”.
欧洲的对比显而易见。那个周五上午，当泽连斯基走进布鲁塞尔欧洲理事会总部色彩缤纷的峰会会议室时，欧盟27国领导人爆发出掌声，纷纷起身给予热烈拥抱和干脆有力的握手。欧洲理事会主席安东尼奥·科斯塔对泽连斯基和媒体说：“现在绝不是撤回对乌克兰支持的时候”，反而呼吁加大对俄罗斯的压力。泽连斯基心存感激，特意表示他很高兴得到“真正领导人”的“巨大支持”。
The symbolism(象征意义) was powerful. As US support crumbles(崩溃；瓦解), Europe seems to be stepping up(加大力度；挺身而出). According to the Kiel Institut’s Ukraine Support Tracker, Europe – including non-EU countries such as the UK and Norway – has spent €236bn supporting Ukraine from 2022 to April 2026, compared with a US outlay(支出；花费) of €115bn.
这一象征意义十分强大。随着美国支持崩溃，欧洲似乎在加大力度。根据基尔研究所的“乌克兰支持追踪器”，从2022年到2026年4月，欧洲——包括英国和挪威等非欧盟国家——已花费2360亿欧元支持乌克兰，而美国的支出为1150亿欧元。
