导言

俄国总统普京2022年2月21日宣布俄国正式承认乌克兰东部顿涅茨克和卢甘斯克两个地区脱离乌克兰成为独立国家,指示俄国军队以维持和平的名义开进这两个地区。

当天,美国前总统特朗普接受电话采访,评论中称普京的行动是天才般的聪明,称开入乌克兰这两个独立地区的俄军是最强大维持和平武装力量。以下是原始谈话中英对照文字。

主持:

我们知道俄罗斯已经表示了他们将承认两个从乌克兰分离出来的地区。 而现在我们这个白宫称这是一次入侵。 这是个强烈的措辞。什么地方出了问题? 现任美国总统没做对什么事了,他本来应该怎样做才对?

We know Russia has said that they are recognizing two breakaway regions of Ukraine. And now this White House is stating that this is an invasion. That's a strong word. What went wrong here? What has the current occupant of the oval office done that he could have done differently?

特朗普:

好吧我告诉你出了什么问题,是有人操纵的选举(译者注:特朗普一直不能释怀2020年的竞选失败,每次谈话都要抱怨说自己落选是因为选举作弊),是某个总统候选人(译者注:特朗普指的是拜登)不应该在那儿当政,一个对自己的所作所为毫无概念的人。

Well what went wrong was a rigged election. And what went wrong is a candidate that shouldn't be there. And a man that has no concept of what he's doing.

我昨天进去的时候,有一个电视屏幕,我感叹 '这真是天才啊'。普京把乌克兰的一大块地方,宣布它是独立的。哦,那真是太好了!普京现在就说它是独立的,是乌克兰的一大块地方啊。 我说 '这多聪明啊?’ 他现在要进这个地方当和平维持者。

I went in yesterday and there was a television screen and I said 'this is genius'. Putin declares a big portion of Ukraine, Putin declares it as independent. Oh that's wonderful! So Putin is now saying it's independent. A large section of ukraine. I said 'how smart is that?' And he's going to go in and be a peacekeeper.

这是最强大的和平武装部队--可以让他们来帮忙守卫我们南部边境嘛。 这是我见过的最强大的和平力量。军队的坦克比我见过的还要多。他们会维持住和平的。不过,想想看,这里有一个非常聪明的人。我很知道他,我跟他非常非常熟。

That's the strongest peace force - we could use that on our southern border. That's the strongest peace force I've ever seen. There were more army tanks than I've ever seen. They're going to keep peace all right. No, but think of it, here's a guy who's very savvy. I know him very well. Very very well.

顺便说一句,如果我在任总统,这种事绝不会发生在我们身上。不可想象。这永远不会发生。但你知道,(普京)这个人现在说,'我将宣布乌克兰的一大部分独立'。他用了独立这个词,'我们要出动,进入这个地区,我们要帮助维持那里的和平'。 你不得不说这是非常明智。

By the way this never would have happened with us had I been in office. Not even thinkable. This would never have happened. But here's a guy that says, you know, ‘I'm going to declare a big portion of ukraine independent'. He used the word independent, 'And we're going to go out and we're going to go in and we're going to help keep peace'. You got to say that's pretty savvy。

你知道拜登的反应是什么?

And you know what the response was from Biden?

主持人: 没反应 there was no response.

特朗普: 他们没准备好反应。这太可悲了。 They didn't have one for that. Now it's very sad.
