本周,澳大利亚反对党领袖艾伯特(Tony Abbott)访问北京,他的这一举动意在为澳大利亚选民提供一个提前了解其未来外交政策的机会。此前,艾伯特于上周访问了美国,并在华盛顿的保守派智库美国传统基金会(Heritage Foundation)发表了演讲。鉴于澳大利亚现任政府并不受欢迎,艾伯特有望成为澳大利亚的下一任总理。
Unlike U.S. presidential candidates who tend to have strong opinions about China during the campaign season, there was no podium-pounding from Mr. Abbott. But just as U.S. presidents tend to abandon their rhetoric once in office, it might be too early to glean too much from Mr. Abbott's pronouncements.
美国的总统候选人往往会在竞选季发表对中国持强硬立场的观点,不过艾伯特没有这么做。但是就像美国总统当选后口风陡变一样,目前对艾伯特的言论做过多解读可能为时尚早。
His overall tone at a breakfast on Tuesday sponsored by the China-Australia Chamber of Commerce was welcoming. Still, he gave Chinese officials little reason to believe that Canberra would budge on a number of contentious issues.
周二在中国澳大利亚商会(China-Australia Chamber of Commerce)举办的早餐会上,艾伯特发表了友好的讲话。不过,他也没有让中国官员有任何理由相信澳大利亚会在一些存在争议的问题上让步。
