周三，加拿大总理马克·卡尼在出席联合国大会相关活动后，造访位于曼哈顿中城的《纽约时报》总部，接受了10位记者和编辑长达一小时的采访。
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada visited the New York Times headquarters in Midtown Manhattan after his engagements at the United Nations General Assembly, sitting for an hourlong interview with 10 reporters and editors.
我是采访者之一，在本周的《加拿大通讯》中，我想分享此次采访中的一些重要时刻和收获。
I was one of them, and in this week’s Canada Letter, I want to share some important moments and takeaways from the interview.
在广泛的对话中，卡尼先生深入探讨了多个对加拿大人至关重要的问题的新细节。其中首要的，或许是他对美国对加拿大采取军事行动风险的自身看法。
In a wide-ranging conversation, Mr. Carney delved into new details about a number of issues vital to Canadians. Foremost among them was, perhaps, his own perception of the risk of the United States taking military action against Canada.
《纽约时报》就此向卡尼先生提问：“在过去18个月中的任何时候，您是否曾严重担心特朗普总统随着威胁升级，会认真对加拿大使用武力？”卡尼先生停顿了九秒，两次打破沉默清了清嗓子。
The Times’s question to Mr. Carney on this topic was: “At any point in the last 18 months, were you ever seriously concerned that President Trump, as these threats escalated, would seriously use military force against Canada?” Mr. Carney paused for nine seconds, twice interrupting the silence to clear his throat.
随后他说：“我认为在这些职位上，你有责任审视极端尾部风险。”他补充道：“那只是风险管理。那不是基本情形，但不这么做将是不负责任的。”
Then he said: “I think you have a responsibility in these roles to look at extreme tail risk.” He added: “That’s just that’s risk management. That’s not a base case, but it would be irresponsible not to.”
