此前,特朗普在美国中期选举中遭遇重大挫败,民主党夺得国会两院控制权,特朗普承认,伊朗战争——选民关注的关键议题之一——是导致败选的原因,“这在很大程度上是事实”。
It comes after Donald Trump suffered a significant defeat in the US midterm elections, as the Democrats gained control of both chambers of Congress, with the president admitting it was "largely true" that the Iran war - one of the key topics among voters - was to blame for the loss.
英国社会态度年度调查——英国持续时间最长的社会和政治态度调查,由NatCen自1983年起开展——结果显示,认为美国对和平构成威胁的英国人比例高于中国(62%),但低于俄罗斯(89%)。
Results from the annual British Social Attitudes survey - the UK's longest-running survey of social and political attitudes, conducted by NatCen since 1983 - show that more Britons believe the US to be a threat to peace than China (62%), but fewer than Russia (89%).
研究发现,78%的英国人认为以色列构成威胁,而75%认为伊朗也对全球和平构成风险。
The research found that 78% of Britons perceive Israel to be a threat, while 75% believe Iran also pose a risk to global peace.
报告作者索菲亚·加斯顿表示,近年来英国发生了“心理层面的转变”,这源于她所描述的“欧洲战争、中东动荡、与中国的战略竞争以及对美国领导力的怀疑”。
Sophia Gaston, the report's author, said that there has been "a psychological shift in Britain" in recent years, resulting from what she describes as "war in Europe, instability in the Middle East, strategic competition with China and doubts about American leadership".
她补充说,外交政策和国家安全如今已“处于公众意识的核心位置”。特朗普:他总统任期最后两年将何去何从?

泄露文件显示欧盟想从英国多要钱 “与欧洲建立更紧密关系” 调查还发现,42%的英国人认为,英国的利益最好通过“与西欧建立更紧密关系”来维护,而仅有9%的人认为最好通过与美国建立更紧密关系来维护。
Leaked document shows EU wants more cash from the UK A 'closer relationship' with Europe The survey also found that 42% of Britons believe the country's interests are best served by a "closer relationship with western Europe", while just 9% believe they are best served by closer ties with the US.
当被具体问及哪一方更符合英国的军事和国防利益时,37% 的受访者选择了西欧,14% 选择了美国——另有 39% 表示“两者同等重要”。
When asked specifically which would be in Britain's military and defence interests, 37% opted for western Europe and 14% for the US - with 39% saying "both equally".
这项调查结果发布之际,欧盟与英国即将于 11 月 20 日在布鲁塞尔举行一场关键的“重启峰会”。
It comes ahead of a key reset summit between the EU and UK, due to be held in Brussels on 20 November.
加斯顿女士补充道:“英国人对欧洲的态度无疑变得更加友好。与脱欧后时代形成鲜明对比,民众对欧盟有了更清晰的认识,并在一个由冲突塑造的世界中看重实务联系。”
"Britons have undoubtedly become more favourable towards Europe. In a clear break with the post-Brexit era, people have a clearer understanding of what the EU is and value practical ties in a world shaped by conflict," Ms Gaston added.
“但若由此断定该国在国防问题上持‘欧洲对抗美国’的二元对立观点,那将是一个错误。英国人认识到,需要采取多元化的安全同盟策略;一种建立在平衡、韧性和灵活性基础上的策略。”与此同时,创纪录的 56% 受访者支持增加英国国防开支——这一比例较二十年前的 28% 大幅上升。
"Yet it would be a mistake to conclude that the country sees defence in binary 'Europe versus America' terms. Britons recognise the need for a diversified approach to security alliances; one built on balance, resilience and flexibility." Meanwhile, a record 56% of respondents supported an increase in UK defence spending - up from 28% two decades ago.
然而,结果显示,仅有 22% 的 35 岁以下受访者认为“在需要时愿服兵役”很重要,这一比例仅略高于 55 岁及以上人群中同等比例(43%)的一半。
However, the results show that only 22% of those under 35 regard a willingness "to serve in the military at a time of need" as important, little more than half the equivalent figure (43%) among those aged 55 and over.
