习特即将会晤
the upcoming Xi-Trump meeting
The upcoming meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Donald Trump, the first of its kind, is expected to set the tone for the future development of China-US ties that matter a great deal for the Asia-Pacific and the world as a whole.
中国国家主席习近平和美国总统特朗普将进行首次会晤,此次会晤将对未来中美关系的发展奠定基调,两国关系对亚太地区及整个世界关系重大。
In a phone conversation on Feb. 10, the two leaders pledged to build a constructive bilateral relationship. Trump reversed his previous stance and reassured his Chinese counterpart that the US administration will honor the one-China policy, the fundamental for the world's most important bilateral ties.
2月10日,两位领导人在电话交谈中承诺建立有建设性的双边关系。特朗普一改之前立场,向习近平主席保证,美国政府会尊重一个中国政策,这是世界上最重要的双边关系的基础。
The two-day gathering is expected to lay out a series of guidelines for bilateral relations in the future and the two leaders will exchange views on regional and global issues, such as two-way trade and investment, currency and stability in the South China Sea, among others.
预计在为期两天的会晤中,将为未来的双边关系制定一系列指导方针,两位领导人将就区域和全球性问题交换意见,包括双向贸易和投资、货币、中国南海稳定等问题。
Of course, it would be naive to believe that the two sides can bridge their differences in a single diplomatic meeting. Yet as long as the two nations can maintain their good faith, which they have shown recently, to talk and to make concessions based on mutual respect, then no difference would be too difficult to iron out.
当然,若以为双方能仅凭一次外交会晤就消除分歧,未免有些天真。但只要两国能像近段时间这样保持诚意,在互相尊重的基础上进行对话、做出让步,那么再大的分歧都是可以解决的。
Vocabulary:
set the tone 定调
matter a great deal 关系重大
honor the one-China policy 尊重一个中国政策
exchange views on… 就…交换意见
lay out guidelines for 制定指导方针
two-way trade and investment 双向贸易和投资
