CNN News: 北美自由貿(mào)易協(xié)定重新談判正式開啟

Leaders from the U.S., Canada and Mexico huddled in Washington, D.C. yesterday. It was the official beginning of an effort to renegotiate NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement. This is a trade deal between the three countries. It went into effect in 1994. Renegotiating NAFTA is something that Donald Trump promised to do while he was campaigning to become U.S. president.
昨天，美國(guó)、加拿大和墨西哥三國(guó)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人齊聚華盛頓特區(qū)。這表明北美自由貿(mào)易協(xié)定(NAFTA)重新談判正式開啟。北美自由貿(mào)易協(xié)定是美國(guó)、加拿大和墨西哥三國(guó)簽訂的貿(mào)易協(xié)定。它于1994年生效。重新談判北美自貿(mào)協(xié)定是唐納德•特朗普在競(jìng)選美國(guó)總統(tǒng)期間做出的承諾。
A Mexican government official said the goal is to make the agreement work better. A Canadian official said her country wants to protect NAFTA's record of creating jobs and economic growth. A U.S. official said that while NAFTA has benefitted many Americans such as farmers, it's failed for countless others with at least 700,000 American jobs lost because of NAFTA.
一名墨西哥官員表示，重新談判的目標(biāo)是使該協(xié)定更好地發(fā)揮作用。一名加拿大官員表示，該國(guó)希望保護(hù)北美自貿(mào)協(xié)定創(chuàng)造就業(yè)和促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)的記錄。一名美國(guó)官員表示，雖然北美自貿(mào)協(xié)定使得諸如農(nóng)民等眾多美國(guó)民眾受益，但是該協(xié)定未能惠及其他無(wú)數(shù)民眾——至少70萬(wàn)美國(guó)人因北美自貿(mào)協(xié)定失去就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。
All this gives an indication of the deal's mixed results.
所有這些言論都顯示出該協(xié)定的好壞參半。
