根据五角大楼的消息，美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯和英国国防大臣韦斯·斯特里廷周四在五角大楼举行会谈，讨论了北约负担分摊、国防开支和军事合作。
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his British counterpart Wes Streeting discussed NATO burden-sharing, defense spending and military cooperation at the Pentagon on Thursday, according to the Pentagon.
此次会晤标志着斯特里廷自7月就职以来首次访问华盛顿，正值特朗普政府推动欧洲盟友承担更大传统防御责任之际。
The meeting marked Streeting's first visit to Washington since taking office in July and came as the Trump administration pushed European allies to assume greater responsibility for their conventional defense.
赫格塞斯强调，华盛顿与伦敦之间长期存在的关系必须继续发展，以应对新兴威胁，而不仅仅依赖历史纽带。
Hegseth emphasized that the longstanding relationship between Washington and London must continue to evolve to address emerging threats rather than rely solely on historical ties.
五角大楼称，赫格塞斯对斯特里廷表示：“（相反，）这是一种需要在危险世界和动态世界中保持活跃的持续伙伴关系，我们对此表示欢迎。”
"(Rather,) they're about an ongoing partnership that needs to be active in a dangerous world (and) a dynamic world, and we welcome that," Hegseth told Streeting, according to the Pentagon.
赫格塞斯还阐述了“北约3.0”的概念——一种设想，即将欧洲传统防御的更多责任转移给北约的欧洲成员国。
Hegseth also outlined the concept of "NATO 3.0," a vision for shifting more responsibility for Europe's conventional defense to European members of the alliance.
该方案可能使美国能够减少在欧洲大陆的军队存在，并将资源转向其他地区，包括太平洋地区。
The approach could allow the US to reduce its troop presence on the continent and redirect resources toward other regions, including the Pacific.
赫格塞斯表示：“在特朗普（唐纳德·特朗普）总统的领导下，看到北约主动担起责任，这令人非常鼓舞。”他还赞扬了英国增加国防贡献的计划。
"It's been very encouraging under President (Donald) Trump's leadership to watch NATO step up," Hegseth said. He also praised the UK for its plans to increase defense contributions.
斯特里廷支持提高欧洲责任的推动，表示英国已准备好在捍卫欧洲大陆及其利益方面发挥更积极的作用。
Streeting backed the push for greater European responsibility, saying Britain was prepared to take a more active role in defending the continent and its interests.
斯特里廷说：“英国正在加大力度；我们愿意主动承担更多责任。”他还感谢特朗普鼓励欧洲国家更认真地履行其防御责任。
"The UK is stepping up; we're stepping up willingly," Streeting said. He also thanked Trump for encouraging European countries to take their defense responsibilities more seriously.
斯特里廷表示，英国正在实施自冷战结束以来最大规模的持续国防开支增加，以增强其军事实力。
Streeting said the UK was undertaking its largest sustained increase in defense spending since the end of the Cold War to strengthen its military capabilities.
他指出，仅仅增加开支还不够，强调需要将投资引向有效能力，并加速新军事技术的研发。
He argued that higher spending alone would not be sufficient, emphasizing the need to direct investments toward effective capabilities and accelerate the development of new military technologies.
“但正如你所说，这不仅仅是关于投入更多；而是关于投入正确的事物，并确保我们正在推动国防创新的前沿，并将这种创新更快地转化为能力，”五角大楼称斯特里廷对赫格塞斯如此表示。
"But to your point, it's not just about investing more; it's about investing in the right things and making sure that we're pushing the frontier of defense innovation and translating that innovation into capability a lot more quickly," Streeting told Hegseth, according to the Pentagon.
他还强调了加强英国国防工业基础的必要性，以及提高将技术进步转化为作战军事系统的速度。
He also highlighted the need to reinforce Britain's defense industrial base and improve the speed at which technological advances are converted into operational military systems.
赫格塞斯同样强调了在美国扩大国防生产的重要性，同时与盟友合作以增强制造能力和供应链。
Hegseth similarly stressed the importance of expanding defense production in the US while working with allies to strengthen manufacturing capacity and supply chains.
“我们在这里谈论自由的武装库，（关于）建设它并确保我们的国内制造业、我们的工业、我们的生产线，（是）以美国制造的方式，（以）速度、规模，（并）与合作伙伴一起制造的，”他说。
"We talk about an arsenal of freedom here in the States, (about) building that and ensuring that our domestic manufacturing, our industry, our production lines, (are) made in America (at) speed, scale, (and) made with partners," he said.
