英若退歐或需10年談判英美貿(mào)易協(xié)定

The UK could have to wait up to a decade tonegotiate new trade deals with the US if it leaves theEU, Barack Obama said as he stepped up hiswarnings against Brexit.

巴拉克•奧巴馬(Barack Obama)加強(qiáng)了他對(duì)英國(guó)退歐的反對(duì)，聲稱如果英國(guó)退出歐盟(EU)，可能要等上10年才能和美國(guó)談判達(dá)成新的貿(mào)易協(xié)定。

The US president has prompted the wrath ofEurosceptic campaigners by warning that Britainwould lose influence if it left the bloc.

美國(guó)總統(tǒng)警告稱，英國(guó)如果離開歐盟將失去影響力，這一說(shuō)法激怒了英國(guó)退歐陣營(yíng)的積極分子。

Last week, during a press conference at the Foreign Office, he warned that the UK would haveto go to the “back of the queue” if it wanted to sign a new trade deal with his country.

上周，在英國(guó)外交部(Foreign Office)的一場(chǎng)新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上，奧巴馬警告稱，如果英國(guó)想要和美國(guó)簽署新的貿(mào)易協(xié)定，英國(guó)將不得不排到“隊(duì)尾”。

On Sunday, he spelt out what that meant, saying: “It could be five years from now, 10 yearsfrom now before we were able to actually get something done.”

周日，他進(jìn)一步亮明了這句話的含義，稱：“從現(xiàn)在起可能要花上5年，10年，我們才能實(shí)際上辦成一些事情。”

Europe was the US’s largest trading partner, Mr Obama said, adding that the UK would have“less influence in Europe and, as a consequence, less influence globally” if it left the EU.

奧巴馬表示，歐洲是美國(guó)最大的貿(mào)易伙伴，他補(bǔ)充說(shuō)，如果英國(guó)離開歐盟，英國(guó)“在歐洲的影響力會(huì)減弱，在全球的影響力也會(huì)隨之減弱”。

His warning over trade has angered UK campaigners for leaving the EU, including Ukip leaderNigel Farage, who dismissed Mr Obama’s comments as “utter tosh”.

他在貿(mào)易方面的警告激怒了英國(guó)退歐陣營(yíng)的積極分子，包括英國(guó)獨(dú)立黨(UKIP)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人奈杰爾•法拉奇(NigelFarage)，后者稱奧巴馬的評(píng)論是“一派胡言”。

Mr Farage accused the president of “coming to London to threaten us” with empty claims. “Who cares what the US wants? It’s what we want that matters,” he said.

法拉奇指責(zé)美國(guó)總統(tǒng)用空洞的主張“到倫敦來(lái)威脅我們”。“誰(shuí)在乎美國(guó)想要什么?我們想要什么才重要，”他說(shuō)。
