安倍晋三计划下周与特朗普会晤

Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe plans to meet Donald Trump in New York on November 17th, his office said on Thursday.

周四，日本首相安倍晋三(Shinzo Abe)的首相办公室表示，安倍计划在11月17日与唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)在纽约会晤。

During a 20 minute phone-call with president-elect Trump, the two men agreed on a meeting when Mr Abe is en route to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum meeting in Peru later this month, writes Robin Harding in Tokyo.

在与新当选总统特朗普20分钟的电话会议中，两人同意在安倍去参加亚太经合组织(APEC)论坛会议的路上举行会晤，这次会议将于本月晚些时候在秘鲁召开。

According to the prime minister’s office, Mr Trump said the US-Japan relationship was an “excellent partnership” and he wanted to further strengthen the “special relationship” between the two countries.

按照日本首相办公室的说法，特朗普表示美日关系是“极佳的合作关系”，他希望进一步加强两国间的“特殊关系”。

Mr Abe in turn told Mr Trump that a strong US-Japan alliance was essential to underpin regional peace and stability.

安倍则回应特朗普称，强大的美日同盟对于支撑地区和平与稳定是必不可少的。

The emollient language attributed to Mr Trump is likely to soothe fears aroused in Japan by his campaign attacks on the country’s trade practices and reliance on the US security umbrella. Officials in Tokyo, who have had little contact with Mr Trump’s team, are eager to find out how his campaign language is likely to translate into policy.

在竞选过程中，特朗普曾攻击日本的对外贸易及对美国安全保护伞的依赖。而前述发自特朗普的和缓措辞，可能会缓解特朗普这些攻击在日本引发的恐慌。日本官员此前几乎从未接触过特朗普团队，他们急切地想要知道特朗普的竞选口号会作为政策实施的可能性有多大。
