唐纳德·特朗普对加拿大实施的经济制裁与军事威胁极为严厉，以至于加拿大政府开始考虑如何应对美国可能发动的军事行动。
The economic punishment and threats of aggression that Donald Trump has launched against Canada are so severe that its government has looked at how to prepare for U.S. military action.
大卫·雷姆尼克与加拿大前高级政要克丽丝蒂亚·弗里兰进行了对话，探讨这一长期稳固的加美伙伴关系如今为何走向破裂。
David Remnick sits down with a former senior Canadian politician, Chrystia Freeland, to talk about the disintegration of a rock-solid partnership.
弗里兰曾担任贾斯廷·特鲁多政府的副总理，还出任过国际贸易部长及外交部长；在特朗普第一任期内，她曾参与相关贸易协议的谈判，但协议最终被特朗普单方面撕毁。
Freeland served as the Deputy Prime Minister under Justin Trudeau, and has also held the roles of Minister of International Trade and Minister of Foreign Affairs; she helped negotiate a trade deal in Trump’s first term, which he subsequently broke.
弗里兰新出版的关于加美关系的著作名为《不可靠的男友》，不过这个书名或许未能充分体现问题的严重性。
Freeland’s new book about the U.S.-Canada relationship is called “Unreliable Boyfriend,” but that title may soft-pedal it.
她向雷姆尼克坦言：“绝大多数加拿大人都认为这种关系已经彻底破裂且不可修复。
“The vast majority of Canadians see this as a rupture” that will be permanent, she tells Remnick.
他们认为美国已不可救药、充满问题，再也无法值得信任……不过我算是个异类，因为我认为我们还不应完全对美国失去信心。”
“They think America is toxic and broken and can never be trusted again. . . . I actually am an outlier, because I think we shouldn’t write America off quite yet.”
