President Barack Obama will nominate commerce secretary Gary Locke, the son and grandson of Chinese immigrants, to be the next US ambassador to China, according to a senior administration official.
据一名美国政府高级官员透露，奥巴马总统将提名华裔商务部长骆家辉为下任美国驻华大使。
If confirmed by the Senate, Locke would succeed Jon Huntsman, one of the few Republicans in Obama's administration. Huntsman's recently tendered resignation is effective from the end of April, and he is tipped as a potential Republican challenger to Obama in the 2012 presidential election.
若获参议院批准，骆家辉将接替洪博培（成为下任驻华大使）。洪博培是奥巴马政府中的少数共和党员之一，他最近提交的辞呈将于四月末生效。他也被认为是奥巴马2012年总统大选的一名潜在的共和党竞争者。
The administration official was speaking anonymously before the formal announcement, expected on Tuesday.
在正式的通告未出来之前，这位不愿透露姓名的政府官员预计，(该项任命)将于周二公布。
Locke, 61, is the first Chinese American to serve as commerce secretary. His father and grandfather were born in China.
骆家辉现年61岁，是美国的首位华裔商务部长，其父亲和祖父均出生于中国。
In an interview with the Associated Press, hours before word of his nomination began to spread, Locke spoke of the economic relationship he had helped build between the US and China. He said US exports to China had increased by 34% last year.
在骆家辉被任命为下任驻华大使的消息传出的数小时之前，他在美联社的一段采访中谈到了他帮助建立起来的中美经济关系。他说，美国去年的对华出口增加了34%。
Obama sees boosting US exports as a way to save and create jobs as the economy continues to emerge slowly from the worst slump in a generation. He has set a goal of doubling within five years the amount of American goods sold to other countries – an effort in which Locke has played a key role.
由于美国经济仍在继续缓慢地摆脱十年来最严重的衰退期，奥巴马把增加美国出口视为挽救和创造就业机会的一种方式。他制定了五年之内让美国出口总额翻番的目标。而骆家辉在这项努力中扮演了重要的角色。
Locke said China was becoming more accessible to US companies, though progress had been slow.
骆家辉称，虽然进展缓慢，但中国正变得更贴近美国公司。
"We in government and the business community want more and faster progress," he said. "There's still a long way to go."
他说：“我们政府和工商界都想要更多更快的进展，但这依然任重道远。”
The US trade deficit with China reached $273.1bn (£167bn) last year, the largest imbalance it has ever recorded with any country.
美国去年的对华贸易逆差达到2731亿美元，创下了美国对外贸易逆差的最高纪录。
Locke said that in areas such as intellectual property rights, the US needed to "keep the Chinese accountable" and "constantly monitor them, and let them know that we're not just going to accept their assurances".
骆家辉称，在诸如知识产权之类的一些领域里面，美国需要“让中国负责”并“不断地监控他们，让他们知道我们不仅仅是打算接受他们的保证。”
As the son of a Chinese immigrant, Locke is held in high esteem in China.
作为一名华裔移民之子，骆家辉在中国受到高度的尊敬。
Before joining the administration, he worked on China issues for a Seattle-based law firm, which he joined after declining to seek a third term as Washington state's governor. Locke became the nation's first Chinese-American state chief executive when he was elected governor in 1996.
在进入奥巴马政府之前，骆家辉拒绝寻求第三次连任华盛顿州州长，加入了西雅图的一家法律事务所，从事中国问题工作。1996年被选为州长之后，骆家辉成为了美国史上的第一位华裔州长。 |
