加拿大蒙特利尔 —— 加拿大总理马克·卡尼将在本周接待欧盟领导人时，力争与欧盟建立前所未有的紧密关系，甚至提出了特殊的“准成员”地位的可能性。
MONTREAL, Canada -- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will try to secure unprecedentedly close ties with the EU when he hosts the bloc's leaders this week, with the possibility of a special "associate member" status even being raised.
但对于卡尼而言，他曾向加拿大人保证他们可以信任他在危机中的应对，与欧洲达成新协议只是他为应对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的攻势、重新定位加拿大在世界上的地位这一计划中的一环。
But for Carney, who has assured Canadians they could trust him in a crisis, forging new agreements with Europe is just one piece of a plan to reposition Canada's place in the world in response to attacks from US President Donald Trump. "America is trying to break us so that they can own us.
“美国正试图击垮我们，以便吞并我们。我承诺这种事绝不会、永远不会发生。我们的未来不会在华盛顿决定，”卡尼在去年8月戏剧性地中断与特朗普团队的贸易谈判时表示。美国总统的关税遏制了加拿大经济，其吞并威胁激起了愤怒。
And I promised that will never, ever happen. Our future won't be decided in Washington," Carney said in August when he dramatically broke off trade negotiations with Trump's team. The US president's tariffs have stunted Canada's economy, and his annexation threats have stoked outrage.
在去年上任前还是政治新手的卡尼，直言不讳地谈论特朗普，告诉加拿大人这位总统不能指望他信守承诺。
Carney, a political novice before taking office last year, speaks bluntly about Trump, telling Canadians the president cannot be trusted to keep his word.
去年8月，他警告称美国在承诺上的签名有时是“用铅笔写的”。周一被问及特朗普未来是否可能用钢笔签署协议，卡尼说：“我不知道。”卡尼曾在高盛担任投资银行家并取得成功，随后先后执掌加拿大和英国的中央银行。
In August, he warned the US signature on commitments is sometimes "written in pencil." Asked Monday if Trump might sign a future deal in pen, Carney said, "I don't know that." Carney thrived as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs before leading the central banks of Canada and England.
他告诉加拿大人，自己是全球经济专家，懂得如何管理风险，并主张国家必须以飞快的速度减少对美国的依赖。
He has told Canadians he's an expert on the global economy and knows how to manage risk, arguing the country must move at breakneck speed to reduce dependence on the United States.
“我们习惯了事情需要很长时间，”渥太华大学政治学家热内维耶夫·泰利耶对法新社表示。
"We were used to things taking a very long time," University of Ottawa political scientist Genevieve Tellier told Agence France-Presse.
她说，卡尼明白特朗普行为带来的“冲击”将使加拿大“能够做大事”，而这位总理正在快速行动。
Carney understood the "shock" of Trump's conduct would allow Canada "to do big things," and the prime minister is moving fast, she said.
除了欧盟，卡尼还试图修复近年经历过棘手时期的关系，访问了中国和印度 —— 这两个亚洲大国曾在前总理贾斯汀·特鲁多任内降级或中断了与加拿大的关系。
Beyond the EU, Carney has tried to restore relationships that endured thorny periods in recent years, visiting both China and India -- Asian powers that reduced or broke off ties during former prime minister Justin Trudeau's tenure.
卡尼成为25年来首位访问沙特阿拉伯的加拿大总理，并宣称无意公开就人权问题对该王国进行“说教”。上周，他进行了加拿大总理首次对土耳其的双边访问。
Carney became the first Canadian prime minister to visit Saudi Arabia in a quarter-century, declaring that he had no intention of publicly "lecturing" the kingdom about human rights. Last week, he made the first-ever bilateral visit by a Canadian prime minister to Turkey.
这些行程旨在推进他的目标：为加拿大企业争取免关税进入全球30亿消费者的市场。卡尼还希望到2030年将国防开支增加两倍。
The trips tried to advance his goal of securing tariff-free access to three billion consumers worldwide for Canadian businesses. Carney also wants to quadruple defense spending by 2030.
“不可避免，”不列颠哥伦比亚大学政治学家麦克斯韦·卡梅伦表示。他说，如果加拿大把“美国视为对我们自身主权的潜在威胁”，就必须加强国防。
"It's inevitable," said University of British Columbia political scientist Maxwell Cameron. If Canada sees "the United States as potentially a threat to our own sovereignty," it has to bolster national defense, he said.
渥太华决定从德国企业蒂森克虏伯海洋系统公司采购一支新的潜艇舰队，也被视为未来举措的风向标：从关键的欧洲北约盟友采购装备，同时减少对美国的军事依赖。
Ottawa's decision to purchase a new fleet of submarines from the German firm Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems was also seen as a signpost of moves to come: procurement from key European NATO allies while diversifying military reliance away from the United States.
卡尼还支持修建一条通往太平洋沿岸的新输油管道，希望加拿大能向亚洲出口更多石油。他还希望加快以关键矿产为重点的大型采矿项目。
Carney is also backing a new oil pipeline to the Pacific coast, hoping Canada can export more oil to Asia. He also wants to accelerate major mining projects focused on critical minerals.
卡梅伦表示，他预计会因被视为损害环境的举措而引发“强烈反弹”。
Cameron said he expects a "backlash" over moves seen as harming the environment.
联邦议员、分离主义政党魁人政团成员帕特里克·博宁上周指责，卡尼领导下的环境政策“倒退了几十年”。但卡尼在全国范围内依然拥有较高支持率，泰利耶认为，对他的地位构成的最大威胁将是特朗普的离任。
Patrick Bonin, a federal lawmaker from the separatist Bloc Quebecois party, charged last week that environmental policy under Carney was "going back decades." But Carney remains popular nationally, and Tellier argued the biggest threat to his standing will be Trump's departure.
她说，那时他将只是“一个处理常态局势的总理”，不再有来自美国的“迫在眉睫的生存威胁”来凝聚国家团结。
Then he'll just be "a prime minister managing a normal situation," without an "imminent existential threat" from the US to rally national unity, she said.
