华盛顿 — 特朗普总统不仅想掀起波澜,他还想拥有这些波澜。总统在周六的一次集会上测试了将大西洋和太平洋以自己名字命名的可能性,这标志着他试图在地图上留下印记的最新尝试。
WASHINGTON — President Trump doesn’t just want to make waves; he wants to own the waves. The president tested the waters on the possibility of renaming both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans after himself during a rally on Saturday, marking his latest attempt to make his mark on the map.
“我们有墨西哥湾,我们有一个美丽的湖泊,现在有人说‘你需要一条河’,所以,我不想改哈德逊河的名字,”特朗普在田纳西州克拉克sville的集会上沉思道。“亨利·赫德森,他很久以前就顺利航行了那条河。
“We’ve got the Gulf, we’ve got a beautiful lake, and now someone said ‘you need a river,’ so, I don’t wanna change the name of the Hudson River,” Trump mused during the rally in Clarksville, Tenn. “Henry Hudson, he did a good job sailing up that sucker a long time ago.
“所以,我们需要一条河;我们需要一个海洋,”他继续说道。“所以,我在考虑要么是大西洋,要么是太平洋。我们可以叫它特朗普海洋或美洲人的海洋,诸如此类。
“So, we need a river; we need an ocean,” he went on. “So, I was thinking of either the Atlantic or the Pacific. We call it Trump Ocean or Ocean of the Americans, something like that.
“不,在我离开之前,我认为我们应该有一个海洋,我们需要一条伟大的河流。现在,我不打算改密西西比河的名字。我爱密西西比。我们在那个州赢得了如此之多的支持。”目前,特朗普已经将墨西哥湾更名为“美洲湾”,并将安大略湖更名为“美洲湖”,后者是作为对加拿大贸易紧张局势的报复而提出的。
“No, before I get out, I think we should have an ocean, and we need a great river. Now, I’m not changing the name of the Mississippi. I love Mississippi. We won that state by so much.”Already, Trump has moved to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” and Lake Ontario as “Lake America,” the latter of which came in retaliation over trade tensions with Canada.
其中一些最初看来像是玩笑,但特朗普后来签署了行政命令来实施这些更改。
Some of those began as apparent jokes and then Trump later signed executive orders to implement those changes.
特朗普还曾提出将新墨西哥州更名为“新美洲”,以及将霍尔木兹海峡更名为“特朗普海峡”的想法。到目前为止,他尚未付诸行动。
Trump has also floated the idea of renaming the state of New Mexico as “New America” and the Strait of Hormuz as the “Trump Strait.”So far, he hasn’t followed through on those.
此外,这位曾经的房地产大亨,以在自己的房地产项目上贴上自己的名字而闻名,一直在努力以自己的名字重命名标志性的政府建筑。
Additionally, the former real estate mogul, who was famous for slapping his name on his real estate properties, has fought to rename iconic government structures after himself.
去年,他的政府将和平研究所总部更名为“唐纳德·J·特朗普和平研究所”。这一举措发生在他不太微妙的公开施压运动中,旨在让他获得诺贝尔和平奖。
Last year, his administration renamed the headquarters for the Institute of Peace as the “Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace.”That came amid Trump’s not-so-subtle public pressure campaign for him to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
特朗普曾在多个海外冲突中进行干预,目的是结束这些冲突,而显然也希望因此获得这一备受瞩目的奖项。
Trump had intervened in multiple conflicts overseas with the goal of ending them, while apparently aiming to be honored with the coveted prize.
在他下令逮捕委内瑞拉强人尼古拉斯·马杜罗之后,著名反对派人物玛丽亚·科里娜·马查多将她获得的诺贝尔和平奖交给了特朗普。
After he ordered the capture of Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro, prominent opposition figure María Corina Machado gave Trump the Nobel Peace Prize she was awarded.
尽管他现在技术上拥有马查多获得的诺贝尔和平奖,但特朗普仍对挪威诺贝尔委员会未将该奖项授予他而感到沮丧。
Although he now technically owns a Nobel Peace Prize that Machado earned, Trump has continued to express frustration with the Norwegian Nobel Committee over its decision not to give him the prestigious award.
“这位女性获得了诺贝尔和平奖,而她代表的‘伟大的美利坚合众国’的代表——也就是我——平息了八场战争,并做了许多其他事情,”特朗普在周五的Truth Social上写道,语气中充满厌恶,并附上了最近获奖者纳维·皮莱的照片。
“This is the woman who received the Nobel Peace Prize over the Great United States of America, whose Representative, ME, settled eight Wars, and many other things,” Trump wrote on Truth Social with a tone of disgust on Friday alongside a photo of the most recent prize winner, Navi Pillay.
“我对这位女性一无所知,其他人也没有人了解她!”除了试图重新命名和平研究所之外,特朗普还试图以自己的名字重新命名肯尼迪中心,但一名法官阻止了他这么做,促使他的政府在肯尼迪中心上铺了一块防水布。
“I know nothing about this woman, and neither does anyone else!”In addition to rebranding the Institute of Peace, Trump has attempted to rename the Kennedy Center after himself, but a judge blocked him from doing so, prompting his administration to put a tarp up over it.
后来,总统被看到正在查看肯尼迪中心的拆除计划,尽管法院随后裁定他的政府在对该设施进行重大改动前必须提前30天通知。
The president was later seen looking at demolition plans for the Kennedy Center, though the courts have since ordered his administration to give 30 days’ notice before making major changes to the facility.
特朗普暗示,由于据称由风暴造成的设施损坏,拆除这个国家标志性的文化中心可能是必要的。
Trump has implied that demolishing the nation’s iconic cultural center may be necessary due to damage at the facility supposedly caused by storms.
