吉尔·劳利斯、萨姆·麦克尼尔 都柏林电——超过40个欧洲国家的领导人将于周四在都柏林聚首，参加一场聚焦欧洲脆弱安全局势的峰会，此举正值美国支持的一项旨在重启结束俄乌战争谈判的新努力之际。
JILL LAWLESS, SAM McNEIL DUBLIN — Leaders from more than 40 European countries are gathering in Dublin on Thursday for a summit focused on the continent’s fragile security, amid a new U.S.-backed effort to revive talks on ending the Russia-Ukraine war .
欧洲政治共同体会议汇集了欧盟及其他欧洲国家（包括英国）的国家元首和政府首脑，以及乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基、加拿大总理马克·卡尼和北约秘书长马克·吕特。
The meeting of the European Political Community brings together heads of state and government from the European Union and other European countries including the U.K., as well as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.
爱尔兰总理米歇尔·马丁表示，欧洲政治共同体让欧洲领导人“能够聚在一起，推动我们大陆的安全、稳定与繁荣。”他周三在都柏林欢迎泽连斯基时表示，“该机构是应对日益加剧的地区和全球政治不稳定的集体欧洲回应的一部分，旨在为我们面临的整个大陆的挑战带来更多连贯性。”
Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin said the EPC allowed European leaders “to come together to advance the security, stability and prosperity of our continent.”“It was established as part of the collective European response to growing regional and global political instability, and to bring more coherence to challenges we face across our continent,” he said as he welcomed Zelenskyy to Dublin on Wednesday.
此次峰会为泽连斯基和欧洲盟友提供了消化本周美国在阿布扎比主持的关于持续近五年的俄乌战争谈判结果的机会。美国特使史蒂夫·维特科夫和贾里德·库什纳预计将在周四于莫斯科与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京会谈后，在都柏林与泽连斯基会面。
The summit is an opportunity for Zelenskyy and European allies to digest the result of this week’s U.S.-mediated talks in Abu Dhabi on the almost five-year-old Russia-Ukraine war. American envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected to meet Zelenskyy in Dublin after talking to Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Thursday.
欧洲政治共同体是法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙和前德国总理奥拉夫·朔尔茨的构想，于2022年成立，旨在为欧盟27个成员国内外的国家提供一个论坛，当时俄罗斯对乌克兰的全面入侵粉碎了欧洲的安全感。泽连斯基经常出席，他所在国家的战争常常主导会谈。
The EPC is the brainchild of French President Emmanuel Macron and former German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and was established in 2022 as a forum for countries both inside and outside the 27-nation EU after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine shattered Europe’s sense of security. Zelenskyy routinely attends, and the war in his country often dominates talks.
这个联盟团结了欧洲近50个国家，不包括俄罗斯和白俄罗斯，自美国总统唐纳德·特朗普2024年重返白宫后，也成为欧洲安全讨论的论坛。特朗普对北约盟友的侮辱以及威胁要控制格陵兰岛（丹麦的一个半自治领土）的言论，让欧洲领导人感到震惊。
The grouping that unites almost 50 nations across Europe, barring Russia and Belarus, also became a forum for European security discussion after U.S. President Donald Trump returned to office in 2024. He alarmed European leaders with his insults to NATO allies and threats to take control of Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of Denmark.
卡尼的出席显示，他希望在特朗普与美国北部邻国发动贸易战，并反复谈论将其变成第51个州之后，让加拿大与欧洲更加接近。
Carney’s attendance is a sign of his desire to bring Canada closer to Europe after Trump launched a trade war with the United States’ northern neighbor and repeatedly talked about making it the 51st state.
英国首相安迪·伯纳姆也在寻求与欧盟更紧密的联系，英国脱欧已近六年。欧洲政治共同体让英国有机会参加泛欧洲政治聚会，尽管英国已脱欧。
U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham is also seeking closer ties with the European Union, almost six years after Britain left the EU. The EPC gives Britain the chance to join a Europe-wide political gathering , despite Brexit.
该组织每年举行两次会议，一次在欧盟成员国举行，一次在欧盟集团之外举行。下一次会议预计于4月在瑞士苏黎世举行。
The group meets twice a year, once in an EU country and once outside the bloc. The next gathering is due to be held in April in Zurich, Switzerland.
批评者声称，这个论坛试图通过提供一个在欧洲大桌旁占有一席之地的机会，但不提供成员国的优势，来阻止欧盟扩大。
Critics claim the forum was an attempt to put the brakes on EU enlargement by offering a seat at a big European table without the advantages of membership.
其他人认为，它已经变成了一个毫无实际影响力或实质内容的“谈话场所”。其会议不作出具有约束力的决定，也不发表正式宣言。
Others believe it has become a talking shop, devoid of any real clout or content. Its meetings don’t make binding decisions or produce formal declarations.
此次会议正值欧洲政治动荡之际，也在共和党在美国中期选举中惨败、至少在国内削弱了特朗普对权力杠杆的控制几天后举行。这一挫折是否会改变特朗普对乌克兰战争以及他发起的与伊朗冲突的态度，目前尚不得而知。
The meeting comes at a moment of political upheaval in Europe, and days after a rout of Republicans in the U.S. midterm elections weakened Trump’s hold on the levers of power, at least domestically. It remains to be seen whether the setback will alter Trump’s approach to the war in Ukraine and the conflict with Iran that he started.
近来，塞尔维亚和匈牙利的民粹主义领导人已被推翻，欧盟和英国也在重建关系，这距离英国人投票退出欧盟已过去十年。
Populist leaders have recently been ousted in Serbia and in Hungary, and the European Union and Britain are rebuilding ties, a decade after Britons voted to leave the bloc.
但欧洲的极右翼仍在上升，最近在德国地方选举中取得进展。西班牙、法国、意大利和波兰等大陆几个最大国家的选民，在未来几周和几个月内都将前往投票。
But the hard right is still on the rise in Europe, having recently made gains in regional elections in Germany. Voters in several of the continent’s biggest countries — Spain, France, Italy and Poland — all go to the polls in the weeks and months ahead.
除乌克兰问题外，安全讨论将聚焦于俄罗斯在欧洲各地构成的混合威胁。俄罗斯被指控对关键基础设施发动低于战争阈值的破坏性袭击。
Beyond Ukraine, security discussions will focus on the hybrid threat across Europe from Russia, which has been accused of launching disruptive attacks on key infrastructure that fall below the threshold of war.
一年前在哥本哈根，领导人关注的是欧洲各地一系列令人担忧的无人机事件。在本周会议前几天，几个欧洲国家的航空公司和媒体机构遭遇了虚假炸弹威胁。受干扰的目标包括爱尔兰航空公司瑞安航空和该国国家广播公司RTE。欧洲各国尚未正式指认威胁的责任方。
A year ago in Copenhagen , the leaders focused on a series of worrying drone incidents across Europe. In the days before this week’s meeting, airlines and media outlets in several European countries were hit with hoax bomb threats. Among the targets of the disruption were Irish airline Ryanair and the country’s national broadcaster, RTE. European nations have not formally assigned blame for the threats.
爱尔兰政府表示，欧洲政治共同体峰会是爱尔兰举办的“规模最大的国际领导人集会”，也是该国国家警察部队加尔达西奥查纳百年历史中规模最大的警务和安全行动。美联社记者洛恩·库克在布鲁塞尔为本文作出贡献。
The Irish government said the EPC is the “largest ever gathering of international leaders” held in Ireland, and the largest policing and security operation in the 100-year history of its national police force, the Garda Síochána.
