加拿大总理马克·卡尼周二在社交媒体上提到了1812年美英之间的战争,当时英国军队取得了胜利。
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Tuesday made a reference to a 1812 U.S.-British battle in which forces from the United Kingdom were victorious.
卡尼在帖子中提到:‘1812年的这一天……’帖子中还附有一张似乎是英国士兵的小雕塑的照片。
“On this day in 1812,” Carney said in a post on the social platform X that also featured a photo of a small sculpture of what appears to be a British soldier.
根据《加拿大百科全书》的记载,1812年战争期间,英美两国在现今加拿大安大略省(当时称为上加拿大)的昆斯顿地区发生了一场战斗。这场战斗围绕尼亚加拉悬崖的地带展开,最终英国获胜。当时加拿大由英国控制。
According to The Canadian Encyclopedia, in the War of 1812, a battle between the British and Americans occurred on Oct. 13 in the community of Queenston in what is now the Canadian province of Ontario, then called Upper Canada. The fight was over a part of what is known as the Niagara escarpment, with the British victorious in the end. At the time, Canada was controlled by the British.
加拿大于1867年在英国的支持下成立,至今仍与英国保持联系,该国君主仍是查尔斯三世。卡尼的这一举动可能隐含了对美国及其领导层的批评。
The country's foundation in 1867 came with British support, and Canada still has links to the U.K., with the country’s monarch technically being King Charles III. Carney’s post could represent a subtle jab at the U.S. and its leadership following recent trade tensions between the two countries.
今年8月,卡尼在特朗普政府实施关税之前撤回了与美国的谈判代表;随后加拿大宣布将于9月初对美国实施报复性关税。特朗普总统也曾试图吞并加拿大,但遭到卡尼的拒绝。
In August, Carney removed his negotiators from trade discussions with the U.S., shortly before a round of tariffs from the Trump administration went into effect. Carney then said his country would implement retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. starting in early September. President Trump has also pushed to acquire Canada, a move Carney has rebuffed.
今年夏天的一项调查显示,超过四分之三的加拿大人认为加拿大终止与美国的贸易谈判是正确的决定。
In a poll from this summer, over three-quarters of Canadians said they believed their country ending trade negotiations with the U.S. was the correct decision.
