随着卡尼为加拿大寻求新的合作伙伴，他也清楚其中的局限。加拿大总理正谋求与中国、印度和欧盟建立更紧密的贸易、防务和文化关系，但这些伙伴都不太可能取代加拿大与美国的联系。
As Carney Seeks New Partners for Canada, He Knows the Limits Canada’s prime minister is pursuing deeper trade, defense and cultural ties with China, India and the European Union, but none are likely to replace ties to the United States.
加拿大总理马克·卡尼决心打破本国对美国的依赖，并与欧洲和亚洲大国建立更紧密的贸易、防务和文化关系。
Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada is on a mission to break his country’s dependence on the United States and build deeper trade, defense and cultural ties with European and Asian powers.
本周早些时候，他在接受《纽约时报》记者的广泛采访时，详细谈到了他正在推动的每一项主要伙伴关系的机遇与局限。
In a wide-ranging interview with New York Times journalists earlier this week, he spoke in detail about the opportunities and limits of each of the major partnerships he is pursuing.
仔细审视他关于加拿大与欧盟、中国和印度关系的回答可以看出，尽管加强这些伙伴关系的计划切实可信，但没有一个伙伴关系可能一对一替代加拿大与美国之间独特而庞大的经济关系。
A close review of his answers about Canada’s relationship with the European Union, China and India highlights that, despite credible plans to strengthen those partnerships, none is likely to offer a one-for-one replacement for the unique, vast economic relationship between Canada and the United States.
例如，他承认欧盟经济几乎停滞，但仍将欧盟列为加拿大的首要优先事项，称双方在关键领域优势互补；他阐明了加拿大重新焕发活力的对华关系所存在的局限；他还承认，尽管加拿大正推动与新德里建立更紧密的关系，但他无法保证终结加拿大境内所有与印度有关联的犯罪活动。欧洲：不仅仅是经济上周访问斯特拉斯堡的欧洲议会时，卡尼先生让本国走上了一条争取成为该集团“准成员”的道路。这一身份目前尚未正式设立，但可能在多个领域带来更紧密的联系。
For example, he acknowledged that the European Union’s economy was barely growing, but identified it as the top priority for Canada, saying the two were complementary in key ways; he laid out the limits of Canada’s re-energized relationship with China; and he admitted he could not guarantee an end to all India-linked crime in Canada, despite the pursuit of a closer relationship with Delhi. Europe: Not Just Economics During a visit to the European Parliament in Strasbourg last week, Mr. Carney set his country on a path toward becoming an “associate member” of the bloc, a status that does not yet formally exist but could bring closer ties in several areas.
卡尼先生表示，尽管该集团增长乏力，加拿大仍有许多机会可从中获益。
Despite the bloc’s sluggish growth, Mr. Carney said, Canada has much to gain.
周三在曼哈顿中城《泰晤士报》总部接受采访时，他说：“它没有增长，但无论按美元还是欧元等硬通货计算，它都是世界第二大经济体，而我们在该经济体中的参与程度还不够深入。”他还为说话“像经济学家一样”而致歉。
“It’s not growing, but it’s the second biggest economy in the world, in hard dollars or hard euros, and we are underpenetrated in that economy,” he said in his interview on Wednesday at The Times’s headquarters in Midtown Manhattan, apologizing for speaking “like an economist.”
