甚至在渥太华市议会决定将美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普的名字从当地一条住宅街道上移除之前,似乎就已经有人抢先行动了。

Even before Ottawa city council could get around to removing U.S. President Donald Trump's name from a local residential street, it appears someone has beaten them to it.

周五下午,位于渥太华中央公园社区Whitestone Drive拐角的蓝白相间的‘特朗普大道’标志不见了。当天早些时候,社交媒体上就已经有人注意到这一情况。该地区的其他‘特朗普大道’标志仍然存在。

On Friday afternoon, the blue and white Trump Avenue sign at the corner of Whitestone Drive in Ottawa's Central Park neighbourhood was missing. Its absence had been flagged on social media earlier in the day. Other Trump Avenue signs in the area remain.

CBC新闻已联系渥太华市政府,询问该标志是被盗还是由市政府自行拆除的,以及具体时间。CBC新闻还向渥太华警方寻求了更多信息。

CBC News has reached out to the City of Ottawa to ask if the sign was stolen or removed by the city, and if so when. CBC News has also reached out to Ottawa police for more information.

渥太华中央公园地区还有其他以纽约市为主题的街道名称,如‘布卢明代尔街’(Bloomingdale Street)和‘斯塔滕路’(Staten Way)。

Ottawa's Central Park area features other New York City-themed names such as Bloomingdale Street and Staten Way. The sign's mysterious disappearance comes just two days after Ottawa city councillors voted to rename the street, which was named after Trump 20 years ago, before he became president.

这一神秘的消失事件发生在渥太华市议员投票决定更名这条街道的两天后。这条街道20年前以特朗普的名字命名,当时他尚未成为总统。

River ward Coun. Riley Brockington fronted the motion to change the name earlier this month, saying the American president doesn't deserve the honour in light of his repeated threats to Canada.

本月早些时候,River选区的议员Riley Brockington提出了更名的动议,称鉴于特朗普多次威胁加拿大,这位美国总统不配获得这一荣誉。

The motion came after Trump imposed tariffs on many billions of dollars worth of Canadian goods and signed an order to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America Canada has retaliated with tariffs on an equivalent value of U.S. imports.

这一动议是在特朗普对加拿大价值数十亿加元的商品征收关税,并下令将安大略湖更名为‘美国湖’之后提出的。加拿大方面也以同等价值的美国进口商品为报复对象征收了关税。Brockington表示,该动议已在周三获得通过。

That motion was approved on Wednesday. Ottawa city council votes to dump Trump Avenue A working group will be formed to consult with the public, go over options and come up with a new name to be voted on next spring, Brockington said.

渥太华市议会决定废除‘特朗普大道’这一名称,并将成立一个工作组与公众协商,讨论新的名称,以便明年春天再次进行投票。

A previous effort to rename Trump Avenue in 2021 failed after a consultation found residents split on the idea, with many who opposed the change expressing concerns about the inconvenience of changing their home address.

2021年曾有一次更名尝试,但由于居民意见不一而失败,许多反对者担心更改地址会带来不便。

渥太华市政府有一个计划,用于收购那些因街道更名而被废弃的标志。
