Trump Praised for Speech, But Can He Continue Unifying Message?

川普國(guó)會(huì)演講大獲好評(píng)

President Donald Trump won cheers by calling for unity in his speech to Congress Tuesday night.

美國(guó)總統(tǒng)川普周二在國(guó)會(huì)的演講中呼吁團(tuán)結(jié)，這為他贏(yíng)得了歡呼。

Trump appealed to Americans to unite and work together on job creation, national security and other issues.

川普呼吁美國(guó)人團(tuán)結(jié)起來(lái)，在創(chuàng)造就業(yè)、國(guó)家安全等問(wèn)題上共同努力。

Some wished he gave the speech at the start of his presidency, just over 40 days ago.

有人但愿他是在四十多天前總統(tǒng)上任伊始就發(fā)表了這一演講。

That was the opinion of The Mercury News in San Jose, California. "Had he (Trump) offered this speech a month ago, at least some of the panic that has accompanied his election might have been calmed," the newspaper said in an editorial.

這是加州圣荷西市《水星新聞》的想法。該報(bào)在一篇社論中表示：“若是川普一個(gè)月前就發(fā)表這篇演講，至少伴隨他當(dāng)選的一些恐慌可能已經(jīng)平靜下來(lái)了。”

The Mercury News said it cannot forget that Trump in his speech asked for an end to "trivial fights" after fighting since the start of his presidency. His targets have included the news media, the U.S. National Park Service and even movie stars like Meryl Streep.

《水星新聞》稱(chēng)它沒(méi)法忘記，在經(jīng)歷了一上臺(tái)就四面樹(shù)敵之后，川普在這次演講中要求停止“為微不足道的事情爭(zhēng)吵”。他說(shuō)這番話(huà)的對(duì)象包括媒體、美國(guó)國(guó)家公園管理局，甚至是梅麗爾·斯特雷普(Meryl Streep)這號(hào)電影明星。

But the newspaper praised Trump for not talking so much about himself during the speech. Instead, it was "we, we, we -- as it should be in a democracy," the editorial said.

但是該報(bào)紙贊揚(yáng)了川普在演講中沒(méi)有過(guò)多提到自己。相反，他一再說(shuō)的是“我們，我們，我們。在一個(gè)民主國(guó)家，就應(yīng)該這樣，”這篇社論如是表示。

Many of the president's supporters loved what they heard. In Holmes, Pennsylvania, Bryan Gallagher said, "To bring money back and jobs back, anybody that's finally talking about the economy and American workers. What's wrong with that?"

許多總統(tǒng)的支持者都對(duì)川普這次演講感到滿(mǎn)意。賓夕法尼亞州霍姆斯市的布萊恩·加拉格(Bryan Gallagher)表示：“讓資金和就業(yè)回到美國(guó)，終于有人談?wù)摻?jīng)濟(jì)和美國(guó)工人的事情了。這有什么錯(cuò)?”

Even some of Trump's critics offered praise.

甚至一些川普的批評(píng)者也對(duì)此表示贊揚(yáng)。

Van Jones is a liberal commentator for CNN television. Jones said he disagrees with most of what Trump proposed Tuesday night. But he said it was a special moment when the president recognized the wife of a U.S. Navy seal killed in Yemen. She fought back tears as lawmakers and others in the Capitol building stood and cheered for over two minutes in tribute to her husband's bravery.

范·瓊斯(Van Jones)是CNN電視臺(tái)的自由評(píng)論員。他說(shuō)，他不支持川普周二晚上發(fā)表的大部分言論。但他表示，川普總統(tǒng)向一位在也門(mén)遇害的美國(guó)海豹突擊隊(duì)隊(duì)員的妻子表示了感謝，這是一個(gè)特別的時(shí)刻。當(dāng)國(guó)會(huì)大廈的議員和其他人都站起來(lái)歡呼了兩分鐘，向她丈夫的勇氣致敬時(shí)，這位妻子強(qiáng)忍住了眼淚。

"He (Trump) became president of the United States in that moment, period," Jones said.

瓊斯說(shuō)：“那一刻，他成為了美國(guó)總統(tǒng)，就是這樣。”

Members of Trump's Republican Party joined in the praise.

川普的共和黨成員也加入了贊美之列。

Republican Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming said the president's speech offered "the same spirit of optimism that I hear from people all around Wyoming."

懷俄明州的共和黨參議員約翰·巴拉索(John Barrasso)說(shuō)，川普總統(tǒng)的講話(huà)呈現(xiàn)了“和懷俄明人同樣的樂(lè)觀(guān)精神”。

Yet there were questions about whether Trump can put into action the long list of proposals he noted during his hour-long speech.

然而也有人質(zhì)疑川普是否可以將他在長(zhǎng)達(dá)一個(gè)小時(shí)的演講中提出的一系列建議付諸實(shí)施。

"Like most presidents he was strong on the goodies, but a little weak on how to pay for it," said Texas Congressman Joe Barton, a Republican.

德克薩斯州議員喬·巴頓(Joe Barton)說(shuō)：“像大多數(shù)總統(tǒng)一樣，他擅長(zhǎng)畫(huà)餅，但是不擅長(zhǎng)兌現(xiàn)。”

California Senator Dianne Feinstein added: "It sounds great to slash taxes and spend more money while at the same time balancing the budget, but that's not how real life works." Feinstein is a leading member of the Democratic Party.

加州參議員迪恩·費(fèi)恩斯坦(Dianne Feinstein)補(bǔ)充說(shuō)：“減稅、增加支出，同時(shí)平衡預(yù)算，這聽(tīng)上去很不錯(cuò)。但是這不現(xiàn)實(shí)啊。”費(fèi)恩斯坦是民主黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)成員。

But an opinion survey for CNN found that about seven in 10 Americans who watched the speech said they are now more hopeful about the future of the country.

但是CNN一項(xiàng)民意調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，大約有70%觀(guān)看了演講的美國(guó)人表示，他們現(xiàn)在對(duì)美國(guó)的未來(lái)更抱希望了。

Jeff Olsen is an educator and Trump supporter in Texas. "I would have felt a lot better hearing this speech five weeks ago," he said. "We're all Americans. We all want to see what's best for America, but I think there's a much more unifying tone in what he said this evening."

杰夫·奧爾森(Jeff Olsen)是德克薩斯州的教育家，也是川普的支持者。 他說(shuō)：“假如他5個(gè)星期前就這么說(shuō)，我的感覺(jué)會(huì)更好。我們都是美國(guó)人，都希望美國(guó)好。但我認(rèn)為今天晚上他的演講更能把美國(guó)人團(tuán)結(jié)起來(lái)。”

Will he return to Twitter?

川普會(huì)重回推特嗎?

There were questions about whether Trump after making a generally well-received speech about unity might soon return to Twitter to attack his critics.

有人質(zhì)疑川普在發(fā)表這一廣為人知的關(guān)于團(tuán)結(jié)的演講之后，是否會(huì)很快回到推特上攻擊他的批評(píng)者。

"He has been known to step on his own message with an aggrieved tweet or two," wrote Peter Nicholas in the Wall Street Journal. "In the White House, some senior aides are no doubt hoping the new president returns to (the White House), puts his phone away and goes to bed, having helped his cause."

《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》的彼得·尼古拉斯(Peter Nicholas)寫(xiě)道：“大家都知道他在推特上發(fā)過(guò)一兩條憤憤不平的推文抨擊過(guò)自己的言論。白宮的一些高級(jí)助手毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)希望這位新總統(tǒng)回到白宮，放下手機(jī)，上床睡覺(jué)，這對(duì)他的事業(yè)有幫助。”

International reaction

國(guó)際反應(yīng)

Russia said it did not take issue with Trump's decision not to talk about Russia Tuesday night. It is natural for him to "be busy with American affairs while our president (Vladimir) Putin is busy with Russian affairs,'" a statement said.

俄羅斯表示，該國(guó)對(duì)川普周二晚上決定不談及俄羅斯并無(wú)異議。俄羅斯發(fā)表的一份聲明表示，“美國(guó)總統(tǒng)忙于美國(guó)事務(wù)，而俄羅斯總統(tǒng)普京忙于俄羅斯事務(wù)，這是很自然的事情。”

Chinese officials disputed Trump's criticism in his speech of one-sided trade deals. He said that such deals led to factory closings in the United States, with businesses moving their operations to China.

中國(guó)官員對(duì)川普在演講中批評(píng)單邊貿(mào)易協(xié)定提出了異議。川普表示，這類(lèi)協(xié)定導(dǎo)致美國(guó)工廠(chǎng)關(guān)閉，企業(yè)將他們的業(yè)務(wù)遷往中國(guó)。

A representative of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said China-U.S. trade benefits both countries.

中國(guó)外交部一位代表表示，中美貿(mào)易讓兩國(guó)都受益。
