【译文】
(CNN) -- Declaring "I see a lot of dark clouds on the horizon," a former top official in the Chinese Foreign Ministry said
the U.S.-China relationship is at a critical moment and any further deterioration will not be good for world peace.
（CNN）——前中国外交部高级官员说中美关系处于关键时刻，任何进一步恶化都不利于世界和平，他声称“我看见前方阴云密布”。
Victor Gao, a director of the China National Association of International Studies, told CNN's Christiane Amanpour that China
views the recent U.S. arms sale to Taiwan "as a major kind of a step to upset China's national interest."
Victor Gao，中国国家国际关系学会主任，告诉CNN记者Christiane Amanpour中国关注于近期美对台军售“是扰乱中国国家利益的重要一步”
Gao said U.S. President Barack Obama's decision to sell $6 billion dollars worth of weapons to Taiwan and to meet with the
Dalai Lama in Washington this month are "miscalculations" based on a misreading of Chinese positions on what he called "these
fundamental issues."
Gao说奥巴马总统决定卖台湾60亿的军火和本月在华盛顿会见达赖喇嘛是对中国定位的所谓“这些根本问题”的误读的“失策”。
His comments came as U.S.-China relations are under increasing strain on a number of fronts, not just the issues of Taiwan
and Tibet. There are also frictions over charges that China has hacked into Google, over trade relations, and over U.S.
allegations that Beijing is manipulating the value of its currency to benefit Chinese companies.
他的评论基于中美关系面临诸多压力，不仅是台湾和西藏问题。在中国网络侵入google，贸易关系，以及美国断言北京（中国政府，下文华盛
顿指代美政府）为使中国企业获利而操纵人民币的价值（操纵汇率）上的摩擦同样过载。
But it's the Taiwan arms deal that appears to have upset China the most, even though Taipei has bought U.S. weapons before,
and Washington is not selling it new F-16 fighter jets on this occasion.
即使台湾以前就买过美国武器并且华盛顿这次没卖新型F16，军售案依然是令中国最生气的事。
Taiwan -- which Beijing regards as part of its sovereign territory -- is buying what the U.S. calls "defensive weapons,"
including Black Hawk helicopters and Patriot anti-aircraft missiles.
台湾——北京将其视为不可分割的一部分——在买美国称之为“防御性武器”的黑鹰直升机和爱国者导弹。
In response, Beijing has taken the unprecedented step of saying it will impose sanctions against the U.S. defense contractors
that will make the weapons.
作为回应，北京采取了史无前例的措施：将对美国售台武器制造商实施制裁。
Gao hinted at the possibility of even broader economic retaliation.
Gao暗示了可能（实施）更为广泛的经济报复。
"China is now the largest creditor nation to the United States. Just imagine if China buys less of the Treasury bonds or
stops buying the Treasury bond for a couple of months -- what it will mean for the national interest of the United States,
but also for China because China itself will be hurt if China takes such extraordinary measures."
“中国目前是美国最大的债主。想一想中国几个月里减少购买或者不买美国国债，会对美国产生怎样的影响；对中国也一样，因为要是中国采
取这样的特别措施，自己也会受到损害”。
Gao also raised the possibility that Beijing will find it harder to cooperate with the U.S. on diplomatic issues such as Iran
and North Korea. "On the one hand, the United States needs China's help; on the other hand, China is hurt because the United
States displays a complete disregard for China's fundamental interests," he said.
Gao也提出北京方面将会发现同美国在诸如伊朗和朝鲜等外交问题上的沟通越来越难。“一方面美国需要中国的帮助，另一方面由于美国表示出
根本不尊重中国根本利益（的做法）令中国很受伤”他说。
Beijing is feeling empowered right now and believes it can dictate to the United States, said Victor Cha, a former U.S.
National Security Council official responsible for Asian affairs.
北京现在感觉有能耐了，自信能对美国发号施令，前美国国家安全委员会亚洲事务负责人Victor Cha说。
"I think what we're seeing in terms of Chinese attitudes really is a sense that they feel they are in the driver's seat, vis
-a-vis the United States, after what they consider a pretty successful year of dealing with the Obama administration," Cha
told Amanpour.
“我想在他们认为相当成功地对待奥巴马政府一年之后，从中国的态度我们能真实地感受到他们觉得自己正在司机的位置上，同美国相向（而
行）”Cha对Amanpour（CNN记者）说。
David Rothkopf, a former U.S. trade official, agreed, saying Beijing is posturing.
David Rothkopf，前美国贸易官员赞成说北京是在那故作姿态。
"I see the whole thing really as an effort by the Chinese to test President Obama and see how far they can push him,"
Rothkopf said.
“我看整个事就是中国考验奥巴马总统并看看能把他推多远的努力”Rothkopf说。
Cha dismissed the idea that China could use its holdings of some $800-billion of Treasury bonds to influence U.S. diplomacy.
He called it a "mutual hostage game" in which the Chinese would cause themselves tremendous damage if they suddenly dumped a
bunch of U.S. Treasuries to try to teach the U.S. a lesson.
Cha放弃了中国会用所持的8000亿国债影响美国外交的观点。他称之为“互为人质的游戏”，如果中国人为了试图给美国上一课而突然抛售美国
债券，会给自己造成极大损害。
He said one of the initial mistakes of the Obama administration was to give China the status of a global power before the
Chinese were able to take on that role -- and that's caused disappointment in Washington and anger in Beijing.
他说奥巴马政府最早的错误在于没等中国有足够的实力就给与其全球权力地位——这使华盛顿失望并在北京引起愤怒。
Rothkopf said the tensions between the U.S. and China also have a lot to do with the fact the Obama administration began by
swinging too far in one direction and then swinging too far back in the other.
Rothkopf说中美之间的紧张有许多事来处理：奥巴马政府开始在一侧摇摆过度，又在另一侧过度摆回来。
"Year one of the Obama administration saw a stance towards China which was too soft," he added. "This year has opened with a
tough stance on Google and a tough stance on these arms sales."
“奥巴马政府第一年对中国的立场太软了，”他补充道。“今年开年则是google和军售问题上（保持）强硬立场”
Rothkopf said hopefully there will now be real balance in the bilateral relationship. "I think it's time for a new kind of
doctrine. We need to develop a kind of doctrine of interdependence," he said.
Rothkopf说现在双边关系有希望真正平衡。“我认为是（建立）新准则的时候了。我们需要一种相互依赖的准则”他说道。
But he warned that China could hurt itself if it continues to flex its muscles. "It's really popular in the United States to
go after the Chinese. In fact, it's too popular," Rothkopf said.
但他同时警告中国继续展示肌肉会伤及自身。“赢得中国在美国十分流行。实际上，它流行过头了”Rothkopf说。
"It's a trap for President Obama. It's a trap for any president. You want to score points? Make China the bogeyman."
“这是奥巴马总统的陷阱，也是每个美国总统的陷阱。你想（在政治上）得分吗？妖魔化中国。”

"It's really popular in the United States to go after the Chinese.
这里go after=to attack, to try to hurt, to pursue, to investigate
攻击中国人在美国是很时兴的。"...
