总理马克·卡尼收到了《Infoman》节目主持人让-雷内·迪福赠送的一个马克杯,上面写着“17%咖啡馆/83%咖啡”。(加拿大广播公司)Prime Minister Mark Carney receives a mug from the host of Infoman, Jean-Réné Dufort, that reads '17% café / 83% coffee.' (Radio-Canada)

在加拿大广播公司(Radio-Canada)喜剧节目《Prime Minister》2025年年终特别节目中,总理马克·卡尼(Mark Carney)收到了一个咖啡杯,杯上印着讽刺他演讲中法语比例的字样。

In the 2025 year-end broadcast of Radio-Canada's comedy show Prime Minister Mark Carney was given a coffee mug meant as a satirical nod to the amount of French in his speeches.

杯上写着“17% café / 83% coffee”(17% 咖啡 / 83% coffee)——这是指加拿大广播公司统计的卡尼总理在官方讲话中使用法语和英语的比例。卡尼随后开玩笑地签署了一项“法令”,承诺在2026年多说法语。

It read "17% café / 83% coffee"— a reference to the breakdown of French and English spoken during official remarks by the prime minister, as calculated by Radio-Canada. Carney then jokingly signed a decree to speak more French in 2026.

加拿大广播公司的一项新分析显示,情况确实有所改善。该台拿着秒表,追踪了卡尼在过去一年(从2025年9月16日至2026年10月8日)发表的172场演讲和声明。

A new analysis by Radio-Canada indeed shows some progress. Armed with a stopwatch, Radio-Canada tracked 172 of his speeches and statements over the past year, from Sept. 16, 2025, to Oct. 8, 2026.

在这些讲话中,卡尼用法语讲了448分钟,用英语讲了1,488分钟,法语占比达23%。与其任期初期相比,法语比例上升了六个百分点。

For these remarks, Carney spoke 448 minutes in French and 1,488 minutes in English, amounting to 23 per cent of the time in the language of Molière. That's a six percentage point increase compared to the start of his mandate.

分析显示卡尼演讲中说法语远少于说英语 加拿大广播公司此前曾统计,在2025年4月29日至9月14日期间,这位总理在讲话中仅有17%的时间使用法语 幕后知情人士承认,相关报道凸显了卡尼演讲中需要增加法语比例的必要性。

Carney speaks far less French than English in speeches, analysis shows Radio-Canada previously calculated that between April 29, 2025, and Sept. 14, 2025, the prime minister used French only 17 per cent of the time in his addresses Behind the scenes, insiders acknowledged that reporting highlighted the need for more French in Carney's speeches.

卡尼核心圈子内的一位消息人士表示:“我们对自己说,是的,我们要增加法语的比重。”

"We told ourselves, yes, we are going to increase the French portion," said a source in Carney's inner circle.

第二位消息人士说:“这篇报道的发布,给圈子里主张为法语多做些事的人提供了弹药。”

"The article's release gave ammunition to those in his circle who were saying that more needs to be done for French," a second source said.

卡尼周三表示,虽然他没有设定具体目标要在法语和英语中各占50%的工作比例,但他经常在办公室以及与员工、部长和外部组织的会议上说法语。他说自己有一位“非常称职”的法语老师。

Carney said on Wednesday that although he doesn't have a specific goal to work 50/50 in French and English, he often speaks French in the office and in meetings with staff, ministers and outside organizations. He said he has a "very capable" French teacher.

“用两种官方语言表达自己是总理的责任,”他在渥太华的一个新闻发布会上用法语说道。“我法语远非完美,但我努力应付。”

"It is a prime minister's responsibility to express himself in both official languages," he said in French at a news conference in Ottawa. "I am far from perfect in French, but I try to get by."

根据演讲地点调整比例 消息人士向法新社透露,总理办公室(PMO)现在根据卡尼在国内或国外的所在地,设定法语内容的目标比例。

Variation based on speech location The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) now sets targets for French content depending on where Carney is located in the country or abroad, sources told Radio-Canada.

根据法新社的最新分析,在过去12个月里,卡尼在魁北克省发表演讲时,平均使用法语的比例接近55%。

In his speeches in Quebec over the past 12 months, Carney used French an average of nearly 55 per cent of the time, according to Radio-Canada's new analysis.

例如,他在1月22日于魁北克城堡发表演讲时,将亚伯拉罕平原战役定性为走向伙伴关系而非同化的历史起点,该演讲中法语占比为48%。

For example, during his speech at the Citadelle of Quebec City on Jan. 22, in which he framed the Battle of the Plains of Abraham as the historical starting point toward partnership rather than assimilation, he spoke in French 48 per cent of the time.

在新不伦瑞克省——加拿大唯一的法定双语省份——法语平均使用比例为38%。在阿尔伯塔省和不列颠哥伦比亚省,这一比例降至14%。

In New Brunswick — Canada's only officially bilingual province — French is used an average of 38 per cent of the time. In Alberta and British Columbia, it drops to 14 per cent.

在国外,卡尼演讲中的法语比例依然不高;去年平均为13%,今年升至14.5%。他在达沃斯论坛的演讲备受国际社会赞誉,但该演讲近93%使用英语。

Abroad, the proportion of Carney's speeches in French remains modest; it went from an average of 13 per cent last year to 14.5 per cent this year. His Davos speech, praised by the international community was delivered nearly 93 per cent in English.

与首次统计一样,法新社排除了新闻发布会上回答记者提问的时间,因为法语使用量很大程度上取决于现场法语记者的数量。

As was the case for the first compilation, Radio-Canada excluded the time spent answering journalists' questions during news conferences, since the amount of French largely depends on the number of francophone reporters at the event.

力争达到50% “只要我们观察到进步,这就是不可否认的进步,”加拿大法语语权研究主席弗朗索瓦·拉罗克(François Larocque)表示。但这位渥太华大学教授补充说,比例应该更高。

Striving toward 50% "As long as we observe an improvement, it is undeniable progress," said François Larocque, Canadian Francophonie Research Chair in Language Rights. But the University of Ottawa professor added that the proportion should be higher.

《蒙特利尔日报》去年11月还报道称,卡尼在其法语教师离职后,曾暂停法语学习三个月。不过,据其办公室称,他目前又在持续上课。

Le Journal de Montréal also reported last November that Carney had paused his French lessons for three months following the departure of his teacher. However, according to his office, he is again consistently taking classes.

总理办公室在一份致加拿大广播公司的声明中表示:“总理在准备各种形式的演讲时格外用心。其中尤其包括致力于用两种官方语言进行沟通,这涉及到学习法语。”总理办公室称,卡尼身边聚集了一批魁北克和讲法语的顾问,他们在内阁中任职,其中包括担任领导职务的讲法语人士以及通讯团队成员。历史对比据当时其政府内部一位消息人士透露,卡尼的前任贾斯汀·特鲁多设定了一个基准门槛:在全国讲英语地区发表的演讲中法语占比达到30%,在魁北克省则达到80%。

"The prime minister takes special care in preparing his own speeches, in all their forms," said a statement from the PMO to Radio-Canada. "This includes, in particular, a commitment to communicating in both official languages, which involves taking French lessons." The PMO says Carney has surrounded himself with a group of Quebec and francophone advisers within his cabinet, which includes francophones in leadership roles and on his communications team. Historical comparisons Carney's predecessor, Justin Trudeau, set a baseline threshold of 30 per cent French for speeches delivered in English-speaking regions of the country, and 80 per cent when in Quebec, according to a source within his government at the time.

前保守党总理斯蒂芬·哈珀通常完全用法语发表演讲,然后再用英语重复一遍,即使在国外也是如此。

Former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper generally delivered his speeches entirely in French before repeating them in English, even when abroad.

在第一份汇编于2025年10月发布之际,时任官方语言部长的史蒂文·吉尔博预测,卡尼将会试图提高标准。

At the time of the first compilation's publication in October 2025, Steven Guilbeault, who was then the minister responsible for official languages, predicted that Carney would try to raise the bar.

他说:“我怀疑我们将在未来几个月看到改善……我认为他想在这方面做得更好。”

"I suspect that we will see an improvement in the coming months … I think he wants to do better on this issue," he said.

在加拿大广播公司发布第一份汇编后,官方语言常设委员会审查了总理在演讲和讲话中使用法语的情况。预计委员会成员将于本周敲定关于此事的报告。

Following the release of Radio-Canada's first compilation, the standing committee on official languages examined the use of French in the prime minister's speeches and remarks. Members of the committee are expected to finalize their report on the matter this week.
