听力 | 中美贸易战引股市大跌

Hello, I'm Alley McHugh with the BBC News. Stocks in Asia have fallen sharply over fears that the US and China around the brink of a trade war. China has unveiled a list of American products. It says could be subject to tariffs just hours after president Trump announced plans for the punitive import taxes on Chinses goods. Steve McDonald reports from Beijing. An official statement from Beijing reads we intend to impose tariffs on certain US imports to balance out the losses caused to Chinese interests by the US. Crucially, these measures follow earlier steel and aluminium tariffs announced on the 8th of March in Washington, meaning a further response from China could be expected after today's notification from the Trump administration of a second round of US tariffs targeting China.

大家好，我是艾莉·麦克修，欢迎收听BBC新闻。中美或将打响贸易战，亚洲股市暴跌。中国公布了一份美国产品名单，并表示可能对此征收关税，在几个小时之前，特朗普宣布对中国的产品征收惩罚性关税，以下是史蒂夫·麦克唐纳德在北京的报道。北京的一份官方声明写到，我们计划对美国进口商品征收关税，从而弥补美国对中国造成的利益损害。最主要的是，这些举措来自华盛顿3月8日对进口钢铝征收关税一事，美国政府对中国实施了第二轮关税惩罚，这意味者中国将会做出更进一步的回应。

President Trump has appointed the right-wing former diplomat John Bolton as his new national security adviser. He replaces H.R. McMaster who's been ousted in yet another White House sacking. Mr. Bolton recently said the nuclear deal with Iran should be scraped and that the UN should consider military force against North Korea. But soon after his appointment was announced, he said his past statements were behind him and he would be an honest broker, ensuring the president was aware of all available options.

特朗普总统任命前右翼外交官约翰·波顿为新任国家安全顾问,前任H.R. 麦克马斯特在新一轮的白宫裁员中被解雇。波顿近期表示与伊朗的核协议应该取消，以及联合国应该考虑对朝鲜采取军事行动。任命状刚一发出，他就表示他之前的声明都已经过去，并将做一名诚实的中间人，以保证总统能够考虑到所有选择。

The European Union has taken the rare step of recalling its ambassador to Russia following the nerve agent attack in the UK. With show of solidarity with Britain comes after EU leaders meeting in Brussels agreed that was highly likely that Moscow was responsible for the poisoning of a Russian former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yuliya. Damian Grammaticas is in Brussels. EU leaders said they condemned in the strongest possible terms what they called a grave challenge to our shared security and then that actual surprise move the recalling of the EU ambassador to Moscow. Nobody had foreseen that, but that while being a sort of gesture is also a significant one in the messages sends about the EU's position on this issue and how it stands with the UK.

在英国神经毒剂袭击之后，欧盟采取了一项罕见的措施，召回驻俄罗斯大使。在这件事情上，欧盟和英国站在一起，欧盟领导人在布鲁塞尔举行会议，并认为毒杀前俄罗斯双面间谍斯克里帕尔和他的女儿尤利娅一事极有可能是俄罗斯所为。下面是戴门·格里迈迪格斯在布鲁塞尔的报道，欧盟领导人对此言辞激烈，称俄对我们的安全构成了严重挑战，随后欧盟召回了驻莫斯科大使，此举令人惊讶。没人预料到欧盟会这样做，但这也是欧盟做出的重要表态，这表明了欧盟对这件事的立场，并在这个问题上和英国站在一起。BBC国际新闻。
