他关于伊朗的言论毫无条理,还计划将自己在佛罗里达的高尔夫球场改造成类似戴维营的度假地。
’s incoherent statements on Iran and his plan to turn his Florida golf course into a Camp David-style retreat.
塞斯·梅耶斯在周三的《深夜秀》节目中,深入探讨了特朗普的权力妄想和那些令人费解的言论。“特朗普认为自己的权力几乎无限,而民意调查显示,民众对此深恶痛绝,”他说。“大多数选民认为特朗普危险且腐败,但他却变本加厉。”
Seth Meyers On Wednesday’s Late Night, took a closer look into Trump’s delusions of power and indecipherable statements. “Trump thinks his power is virtually unlimited, and polls have shown people hate that,” he said. “A majority of voters say Trump is dangerous and corrupt, and yet Trump is doubling down.
“我们有一位总统,他沉迷于自己的权力,自认为无所不知,这其实是个很糟糕的组合,尤其是他一半时间说的话,我们根本搞不懂他在说什么,”他补充道,“就像周一那样,他随口评论说,因伊朗战争导致的高油价,与阻止伊朗拥有核武器相比,只是一个小代价。”
“We have a president who’s enamored with his own power and thinks he knows it all, which is kind of a bad combination, especially since half the time we have no idea what the hell he’s talking about,” he added, “as he illustrated on Monday with an offhand comment in which he tried to argue that high gas prices caused by the war in Iran were a small price to pay to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon.
“但和往常一样,他的言论毫无逻辑。”在内布拉斯加的一场集会上,特朗普说:“为了保障世界和我国的安全,这只是一个小小的代价。他们可以摧毁一座城市。让他们摧毁洛杉矶吧。让他们摧毁圣地亚哥吧。这真的只是一个小代价,而且很快就会结束。”梅耶斯试图翻译他的意思:“我认为特朗普想表达的是,如果伊朗拥有核武器,他们就能摧毁洛杉矶或圣地亚哥,因此这场战争以及战争引发的高油价,相比之下只是一个小代价,”他说。“但说真的,我们真的有必要把总统的话翻译成通俗易懂的英语吗?!”
“But as usual, he was incoherent.”At said rally in Nebraska, Trump said: “It’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay, and it’s going to be over with very soon.”Meyers attempted to translate: “I think what Trump was trying to say is that Iran had a nuclear weapon, they could take out Los Angeles or San Diego, which is why the war and the high prices caused by the war are a small price to pay in comparison,” he said. “But, real quick, is it on us to translate the president’s words into plain English?!
“他身居极其强大的职位,拥有无与伦比的权力,所以问题在于,他竟然用支离破碎、毫无逻辑的半句话说话,没人能听懂,还像开放麦夜场的喜剧演员一样,临时拼凑论点,”梅耶斯愤怒地批评道。“即使特朗普确实是在说伊朗不应该能核平洛杉矶或圣地亚哥,但民众每天连总统到底在说什么都搞不清楚,这本身就很糟糕。”
“He’s a singularly powerful person in a singularly powerful office, so it’s bad that he speaks in mangled, incoherent half-sentences that no one can understand and works out premises on the fly like a comedian at open mic night,” Meyers ranted. “Even if it’s true that Trump was saying that Iran shouldn’t be able to nuke LA or San Diego, it’s bad that people can’t understand what the hell the president is saying on a daily basis.
“如果总统无法用清晰、连贯且人人都能理解的句子来表达,那可不是什么好事,”他总结道,“尤其是当他沉迷于自己的权力,身边还围着一群只会说他想听的话的人时。”吉米·坎摩尔在洛杉矶对特朗普希望将佛罗里达州西棕榈滩的特朗普国际高尔夫俱乐部改造成类似戴维营的外国领导人和未来总统度假地的消息作出了回应。
“If the president cannot speak in clear, coherent sentences that everyone can understand, that’s bad,” he concluded. “Especially when he’s enamored with his own power and surrounded by people who can tell him whatever he wants.”Jimmy Kimmel And in Los Angeles, reacted to news that Trump hopes to turn his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, into a Camp David-style retreat for foreign leaders and future presidents.
“至少他承认未来还会有其他总统,我猜是这样,”坎摩尔若有所思地说道。
“At least he’s open to the idea that there will be future presidents, I guess,” Kimmel mused.
据称,未来的总统们将能获得该俱乐部的免费会员资格。“这正是加文·纽森会想要的——一个奢华的放松之所,还能和‘MyPillow’先生,以及那位演过《野兽大师》和‘香草冰’的家伙待在一起,”坎摩尔开玩笑说。
Allegedly, future presidents would be offered comp memberships to the club. “Just what a Gavin Newsom would want – a luxurious spot to unwind and relax, with the MyPillow man and a guy who played Beast Master and Vanilla Ice,” Kimmel joked.
“而且别担心费用!总统的一位律师已经承诺,特朗普会支付建造费用,”他补充道,“其实我们唯一能确定的就是,特朗普自己绝不会出这笔钱。他对宴会厅也是这么说的。”说到那个仍在施工且存在法律争议的宴会厅,坎摩尔不禁疑问:“这些项目到底是怎么回事?没有一个完工的。东翼还只是个地坑,倒影池空空如也,肯尼迪中心也关闭了。那个拱门就像个被施工胶带围起来的矩形。要不你先完成其他那些没人需要的愚蠢项目中的一个吧?”
“And don’t worry about the cost! A lawyer for the president promised that Trump will pay for the construction,” he added. “Really the one thing we know for sure is that Trump will not pay for the construction himself. This is what he said about the ballroom, too.”Speaking of that ballroom, which remains under construction and legally contested, Kimmel wondered: “what is with all these projects? Not one of them is finished. The East Wing’s still a hole in the ground, the reflecting pool is empty, the Kennedy Center closed. The arch is like a rectangle with construction tape around it. How about you finish one of the other stupid projects nobody needed first?
“这个国家——我们的债务高达4.1万亿美元,”他补充道。“我们不需要一个仿照戴维营建造的总统度假地。我们已经有一个了,就叫戴维营。”
“This country – we are $41tn in debt,” he added. “We don’t need a presidential retreat modeled after Camp David. We already have one of those, it’s called Camp David.”
另外,周三也是福克斯新闻成立30周年的日子。“对于那个毁掉一切的电视台,你会送它什么礼物呢?”基梅尔开玩笑说。或许,这份对电视台头三十年历程的精美致敬会是个不错的选择:“三十年前,一位名叫鲁伯特·默多克的远见者提出了一个简单的问题,”基梅尔说。“他问:‘如果新闻完全按照我的意愿来呈现会怎么样?’于是,仅凭数百万美元以及对那个他并未出生过的美国的彻底无视,他就把这个想法变成了如今你无法再和父亲正常交流的头号原因。”
In other news, Wednesday also marked the 30th birthday of Fox News. “What do you get for the network that ruined everything?”Kimmel joked. Perhaps this lovely tribute to the network’s first three decades: “Three decades ago, a visionary named Rupert Murdoch asked a simple question,” said Kimmel. “He asked, ‘What if the news was whatever I want it to be?’ And with nothing more than millions of dollars and a complete disregard for the America in which he wasn’t born, he turned that idea into what has become the number one reason you can’t talk to your dad any more.”
