  • 加拿大总理希望加快“国家建设”进程——但他能说服原住民第一民族吗？

    【新闻趣读】
    加拿大总理马克·卡尼最近搞了个"国家建设"大动作，结果被原住民直接"堵门"！这位总理刚通过《单一加拿大经济法案》，想把北极圈"火环"矿区变成经济特区，却忘了问问当地原住民同不同意。最搞笑的是，20岁原住民青年杰罗尼莫划着独木舟、带着帐篷，硬是跋涉400公里来抗议，还放出狠话："对话时间结束，现在是行动时间！"看来这位总理的"基建狂魔"梦，得先过原住民的"否决权"这关啊~

    **Prime Minister Mark Carney's"nation-building" law - his first major piece of legislation - is poised to put the remote Ring of Fire mining region in the spotlight.**
    马克·卡尼总理的"国家建设"法案——他上任后的首个重大立法——即将让偏远的"火环"矿区成为焦点。

    **Dubbed the One Canadian Economy Act, the law was passed at a time when the country is involved in a costly trade war with the United States.**
    这项被称为《单一加拿大经济法案》的法律通过之际，加拿大正陷入与美国的昂贵贸易战。

    **No projects have been selected yet, but the government has hinted at a few items on its wish-list, including a pipeline along the British Columbia coast and a carbon-capture project in Alberta's oil sands.**
    尚未选定具体项目，但政府已暗示愿望清单包括不列颠哥伦比亚海岸管道和阿尔伯塔油砂碳捕集项目。

    **The Ring of Fire, a 5,000 square-kilometre area home to significant deposits of chromite, nickel, copper, gold, zinc, and other minerals, has also been flagged as an area ripe for development in partnership with the federal government.**
    "火环"地区面积5000平方公里，富含铬、镍、铜、金、锌等矿藏，也被标记为适合与联邦政府合作开发的区域。

    **But while Carney's legislation was considered by many to be an early victory for the new prime minister, environmental groups have raised concerns that the law, and others like it, provide shortcuts to get through existing environmental processes.**
    尽管卡尼的立法被视为新总理的早期胜利，但环保组织担心该法律会绕过现有环境评估流程。

    **Meanwhile, indigenous leaders like Ontario Regional Chief Abram Benedict have argued the law undermines their territorial rights.**
    安大略地区酋长亚伯拉罕·本尼迪克特等原住民领袖则认为该法律侵犯了他们的领土权利。

    **"We have environmental assessments based on indigenous teachings," says Benedict."We consider everything: air, land, water, medicines and animals."**
    "我们基于原住民传统进行环境评估，"本尼迪克特说。"我们考虑一切：空气、土地、水、药材和动物。"

    **Consultation with indigenous communities in Canada is not a courtesy, but law. The country's constitution affirms indigenous rights and requires prior and informed consent on actions that affect their land and resources.**
    与加拿大原住民社区协商不是礼节而是法律。宪法确认原住民权利，要求对其土地和资源有影响的行动必须事先获得知情同意。

    **But what these consolations must entail has often been a fraught debate.**
    但这些协商必须包含什么内容常常引发激烈争论。

    **Sean Fraser, Canada's justice minister, has said First Nations' consultation"stops short of a complete veto" on projects.**
    司法部长肖恩·弗雷泽表示原住民协商"不等于完全否决权"。

    **Meanwhile, critics such as indigenous governance expert Pamela Palmater argue the Supreme Court has made it clear that merely hearing out indigenous communities is not enough.**
    而原住民治理专家帕梅拉·帕尔马特等批评者认为，最高法院已明确表示仅听取原住民意见是不够的。

    **When talks between the government and indigenous communities break down, it can be costly.**
    政府与原住民社区谈判破裂代价高昂。

    **Court documents show that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police spent almost C$50m policing resistance against pipeline projects in British Columbia.**
    法庭文件显示，加拿大皇家骑警在不列颠哥伦比亚管道项目抗议中花费近5000万加元。

    要求总理与原住民团体协商的压力越来越大。

    **Carney has said indigenous leadership is central to building a stronger economy, including through the One Canadian Economy Act and initiatives like the Indigenous Loan Guarantee Program.**
    卡尼表示原住民领导力对建设更强大经济至关重要，包括通过《单一加拿大经济法案》和原住民贷款担保计划等举措。

    **Chief of Assembly First Nations Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak told the BBC that she had requested the upcoming consultations herself.**
    原住民议会主席辛迪·伍德豪斯·内皮纳克告诉BBC，是她自己要求进行协商。

    **But that might be too late, for some.**

    安大略阿塔瓦皮斯卡特原住民成员杰罗尼莫·卡塔夸皮特仅带着独木舟和帐篷在"火环"外扎营抗议。

    **"Ever since these laws were passed it's no longer about indigenous consultation, it's about consent," says Kataquapit.**
    "这些法律通过后，不再是协商而是同意权问题，"卡塔夸皮特说。

    **Community members fear while the development could bring billions of investment, it could also undermine indigenous nations' rights to their own land.**
    社区成员担心开发虽能带来数十亿投资，但也会损害原住民对土地的权利。

  • 取消两个全国性节日能否帮助法国摆脱债务危机？

    【新闻趣读】
    法国总理最近想出了一个"省钱妙招"——砍掉两个法定假日！这位总理大人打算把复活节周一和5月8日二战胜利日从假期表里划掉，理由是"国家债务太高"。消息一出，法国人立刻炸锅：左派骂他"剥削劳工"，右派说他"破坏传统"，就连他所在的中右翼阵营也只能勉强支持。最搞笑的是，法国人每年5月都在玩"搭桥"游戏（把周二或周四的假日和周末连起来休），这下总理直接要把"桥"给拆了！不过话说回来，法国人虽然假期多，但工作效率比英国人还高18%——看来英国人也没资格笑话人家"太懒"啊~

    **Prime Minister François Bayrou has put the cat among the pigeons in promising to cut two of France's national holidays in order to rescue the country's finances.**
    法国总理弗朗索瓦·贝鲁承诺取消两个法定假日以挽救国家财政，这一表态引发了轩然大波。

    **Predictably enough, his proposal on Tuesday to axe the Easter Monday and 8 May holidays triggered howls of protest from the left and the populist right – with his own centrists and the conservative right expressing at best guarded support.**
    不出所料，他周二关于取消复活节周一和5月8日（二战胜利日）假期的提议引发了左翼和民粹右翼的强烈抗议——而他所在的中右翼和保守右翼最多只能表示谨慎支持。

    **In a country with such a strong tradition of worker protest, the sudden removal of two statutory days off was never going to be an easy sell.**
    在一个有着强烈工人抗议传统的国家，突然取消两个法定假日从来都不是件容易的事。

    **Essentially, men and women would be made to work two extra days a year for no increase in salary.**
    本质上，法国人每年将被迫多工作两天，而且不会加薪。

    **The gain in productivity would help pull the country out of its ever-deepening hole of debt.**
    由此带来的生产力提升将有助于法国摆脱日益深重的债务危机。

    **The French are indeed very attached to their jours fériés.**
    法国人确实非常依恋他们的法定假日。

    **The month of May is awaited with glee every year, not just because it heralds spring – but also because of the succession of long weekends that regularly occur.**
    每年五月都令人期待，不仅因为它预示着春天的到来，还因为经常会出现一连串的长周末。

    **If 1 May (Workers' Day) and 8 May, marking the end of World War Two, fall on a Tuesday or Thursday, then the weekends become four-day treats because the Monday and the Friday will automatically be taken as holiday too.**
    如果5月1日（劳动节）和5月8日（二战胜利日）落在周二或周四，那么周末就会变成四天的享受，因为周一和周五也会自动成为假日。

    **On top of that there is Ascension (always a Thursday) plus Easter Monday and Whit Monday (or Pentecost).**
    除此之外，还有耶稣升天节（总是在周四）、复活节周一和圣灵降临节周一（或五旬节）。

    **If the Church calendar obliges, an early Easter can combine with 1 or 8 May to provide not just a pont or bridge - meaning a four-day weekend spanning a Monday or Friday, but a veritable five or six-day viaduc (viaduct).**
    如果教会日历允许，早到的复活节可以与5月1日或8日结合起来，不仅形成一个"桥"（即跨越周一或周五的四天周末），而且是一个名副其实的五天或六天"高架桥"。

    **November is another feast of feasts, with All Saints' on the first of the month and Armistice on the 11th offering relief from autumn blues.**
    十一月是另一个节日盛宴，11月1日的万圣节和11日的停战日让人们从秋天的忧郁中得到解脱。

    **And on top of that, there are the famous"RTT" days, which many get in return for working more than the legal 35 hours a week.**
    除此之外，还有著名的"RTT"日（减少工作时间），许多人因为每周工作时间超过法定的35小时而获得这些额外的休息日。

    **But before we lapse into humorous self-satisfaction about"those incredibly lazy French and their God-given right to endless downtime", we need to bear in mind a couple of other considerations.**
    但在我们陷入对"那些懒惰的法国人及其上帝赋予的无限休息权"的幽默自满之前，我们需要考虑其他几个因素。

    **First, far from the popular image, the French actually have fewer national holidays than the European average.**
    首先，与普遍印象相反，法国的法定假日实际上比欧洲平均水平要少。

    **France has 11, like Germany, the Netherlands and US. Slovakia has the most, with 15, and England, Wales, and the Netherlands have the fewest, with 8. Ireland and Denmark have 10.**
    法国有11个假日，与德国、荷兰和美国相同。斯洛伐克最多，有15个；英格兰、威尔士和荷兰最少，只有8个；爱尔兰和丹麦有10个。

    **Second, according to the UK's Office for National Statistics, French productivity (output per worker) is 18% higher than the UK's, So any gloating about holidays from across the Channel is misplaced.**
    其次，根据英国国家统计局的统计，法国的生产力（每个工人的产出）比英国高18%，所以任何对海峡对岸假日的幸灾乐祸都是不恰当的。

    **Third, this is not the first time in recent years that France has proposed to axe national holidays.**
    第三，这不是法国近年来第一次提议取消法定假日。

    **It has happened before – and worked (kind of).**
    以前就发生过——而且（某种程度上）奏效了。

    **In 2003, the conservative government under President Jacques Chirac wanted to do something radical after the deadly heatwave of that summer which killed 15,000 people.**
    2003年，在造成1.5万人死亡的致命热浪之后，希拉克总统领导的保守派政府想要采取一些激进的措施。

    **So Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin decided to turn Whit Monday into a Day of Solidarity.**
    因此，总理让-皮埃尔·拉法兰决定将圣灵降临节周一改为"团结日"。

    **People would work instead of taking the day off, and the money gained by employers would be paid to the government for a fund to help the elderly and disabled.**
    人们在这一天工作而不是休息，雇主因此获得的钱将交给政府，用于帮助老年人和残疾人的基金。

    **There was an outcry, and a few years later the change was watered down so that now the Day of Solidarity is voluntary.**
    这一决定引发了强烈抗议，几年后这一改变被淡化，现在"团结日"是自愿的。

    **It is all highly confusing, and no-one really understands how it functions, but non-Whit Monday still generates €3bn (£2.6bn; $3.5bn) every year in receipts.**
    这一切都非常令人困惑，没有人真正理解它是如何运作的，但非圣灵降临节周一每年仍能带来30亿欧元（26亿英镑；35亿美元）的收入。

    **Another precedent goes back to the 1950s and Charles de Gaulle.**
    另一个先例可以追溯到20世纪50年代和戴高乐时期。

    **Getty Images Charles de Gaulle took office as president in 1959 and then axed a public holiday**
    盖蒂图片社：戴高乐1959年就任总统后取消了一个公共假日

    **The wartime leader took office as president in 1959 and then axed a public holiday (Whit Monday again) in order to help pay for the Algerian war.**
    这位战时领导人于1959年就任总统，然后取消了一个公共假日（又是圣灵降临节周一），以帮助支付阿尔及利亚战争的费用。

    **The difference was that in those days, the president could do this by decree.**
    不同的是，在当时，总统可以通过法令这样做。

    **Nowadays, the government would need to pass a law – and that means getting it through parliament.**
    如今，政府需要通过一项法律——这意味着要让它通过议会。

    **And with the left and far-right opposed, and even the government's own supporters lukewarm, that is not going to be easy.**
    由于左翼和极右翼的反对，甚至政府自己的支持者也不冷不热，这并非易事。

    **But with France's debt now standing at more than 110% of GDP, and the EU's new fiscal rules demanding deficit reduction, the government says it has no choice.**
    但由于法国债务现已超过GDP的110%，而且欧盟的新财政规则要求减少赤字，政府表示别无选择。

    **"We have to look at all possible ways of raising productivity," Mr Bayrou said.**
    "我们必须考虑所有可能提高生产力的方法，"贝鲁先生说。

    **"And given that we cannot ask for more effort from French workers without giving them something in return, this seems like a reasonable sacrifice."**
    "鉴于我们不能在不给予回报的情况下要求法国工人付出更多努力，这似乎是一个合理的牺牲。"

  • 特朗普的埃普斯坦策略可能使他与忠实支持者对立。

    【新闻趣读】
    特朗普最近在"爱泼斯坦文件门"里玩起了"左右互搏术"——一边骂民主党搞"骗局"，一边痛批自家共和党支持者"蠢到上钩"。最搞笑的是，这位靠"反建制派"人设起家的总统，现在居然要替权贵们洗白"爱泼斯坦案没实锤"。看来"懂王"这次是真急了，连铁粉劳拉·卢默都警告他再这样下去会被"文件门吞噬"。不过共和党议员们倒是很懂"站队艺术"，一边喊着要透明，一边在国会掐灭民主党要求公布文件的提案——这波"薛定谔的透明度"操作，连议长约翰逊都学会用特朗普同款"可信证据"话术了！

    **As Donald Trump continues to be dogged by questions about his administration's handling of possible files related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, he is relying on a tried and true strategy.**
    当特朗普政府持续面临如何处理已故性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦相关文件的质疑时，总统祭出了他的惯用策略。

    **The problem for the president, however, is that his plan of attack may inadvertently pit him against some of his most loyal supporters.**
    但问题是，这种攻击策略可能无意间让他与最忠诚的支持者对立。

    **In a lengthy Truth Social post on Wednesday morning, Trump began in a familiar way – by blaming the Epstein controversy on"radical left Democrats".**
    周三早间在Truth Social的长文中，特朗普以熟悉的方式开场——将爱泼斯坦风波归咎于"激进左翼民主党人"。

    **This episode, he said, is just the latest in a long line of"hoaxes" fabricated by his political opponents to bring him down.**
    他称这是政敌为扳倒他编造的又一"骗局"。

    **"These Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at," he wrote."They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates."**
    "诈骗和骗局是民主党唯一擅长的事，"他写道。"他们不懂治国、不会制定政策、也选不出赢家候选人。"

    **In the past, Trump has used this kind of us-against-them rhetoric to rally his supporters to his side – casting himself as the embattled champion of the outsiders and disaffected who faces off against the privileged and the wealthy.**
    过去特朗普常用这种"我们对抗他们"的论调凝聚支持者——将自己塑造成对抗权贵阶层的边缘人群代言人。

    **The potential flaw in the president's strategy this time became apparent halfway through his post, however, as he turned to blame his own party and his own supporters for falling for what he said was a leftist scheme.**
    但这次策略的缺陷在他发文中途显现——他开始指责共和党同僚和支持者中了"左翼阴谋"的圈套。

    **"My PAST supporters have bought into this 'bullshit,' hook, line, and sinker," he wrote."They haven't learned their lesson, and probably never will."**
    "我过去的支持者全盘吞下了这堆'狗屁'，"他写道。"他们没吸取教训，可能永远都不会。"

    **The president is drawing battle lines on the Epstein issue that divides his own side.**
    总统在爱泼斯坦问题上划出的战线正在分裂他的阵营。

    **It also risks cutting through the foundations on which his political strength is built.**
    这还可能动摇其政治力量的基础。

    **Trump's success has been powered by two central messages to his supporters – that he's an outsider who fights against a corrupt establishment and that he tells it like it is.**
    特朗普的成功源于向支持者传递的两个核心信息：他是对抗腐败体制的局外人，以及他实话实说。

    **At a time when many voters say they are tired of polished politicians with shifting views, Trump's base sees him as authentic – unvarnished and controversial, yes, but honest.**
    当许多选民厌倦了圆滑善变的政客时，特朗普基本盘认为他真实——虽粗鲁争议，但诚实可信。

    **Trump, never one to shy away from wild conspiracy theories or those who embrace them, now finds himself arguing that there is no"credible" evidence implicating the rich and powerful in the Epstein case and that those believing otherwise are suckers or fools.**
    向来不避讳阴谋论的特朗普，如今却坚称爱泼斯坦案中不存在指控权贵的"可信"证据，将持异见者视为蠢货。

    **His shifting comments – that the Epstein files should be released, that there are no files, that any possible files are hoaxes – also make him seem less like a straight-shooter and more like a man with something to hide.**
    他反复变化的表态——从应公布文件、到不存在文件、再到所有文件都是骗局——让他显得不像心直口快之人，反倒像有所隐瞒。

    **He's left with the problem of trying to prove a negative. And for the moment, some of his supporters aren't buying it.**
    他陷入了"证无"的困境。而眼下，部分支持者并不买账。

    **Her advice to appoint an independent investigator to handle the case is one Trump would be loath to follow, given how he has railed against past special counsels.**
    她建议任命独立调查官，但鉴于特朗普过去对特别检察官的抨击，他不太可能采纳。

    **But the success of his strategy to blame political opponents may only work if Democrats take the bait.**
    但他归咎政敌的策略要奏效，前提是民主党咬钩。

    **Dan Pfeiffier, who worked as a senior adviser to President Barack Obama, recently wrote they can avoid this trap by amplifying divisions in Trump's"Make America Great Again" ranks.**
    奥巴马高级顾问丹·法伊弗指出，民主党可通过放大特朗普阵营内部分歧来避免中计。

    **"If the issue becomes too associated with a Democratic effort to hurt Trump, it will polarise the issue along party lines and push the dissatisfied Maga voters back into Trump's camp," he wrote in his most recent newsletter.**
    "若此事被视作民主党打击特朗普的图谋，将沿党派路线极化议题，把不满的MAGA选民推回特朗普阵营，"他在最新通讯中写道。

    Politico获取的民主党内部民调显示，58%受访者认为特朗普"可能或肯定"参与了掩盖。

    **If the polls are decidedly tilted against Trump, Republican officeholders – the men and women who owe their professional livelihoods to staying in the president's good graces – mostly continue to stick by his side.**
    尽管民调不利，共和党官员们——其政治生命系于总统青睐——大多仍站在特朗普一边。

    **Congressional Republicans are backing the president's legislative agenda despite their narrow majorities in key votes this week.**
    国会共和党人尽管在关键投票中优势微弱，仍支持总统的立法议程。

    **And while some have called for more transparency, conservatives in the House of Representatives have repeatedly squelched Democratic attempts to mandate the release of all remaining Epstein files.**
    虽然有人呼吁提高透明度，但众议院保守派屡次扼杀民主党要求强制公布所有剩余文件的动议。

    **Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, who oversaw those efforts, walked back earlier comments calling for more Epstein files to be disclosed, saying that he was misquoted and that he only wanted the public to see"credible" information – the same language Trump has used.**
    主持此事的众议院议长迈克·约翰逊收回此前要求公布更多文件的言论，称被错误引用，自己只希望公众看到"可信"信息——与特朗普的措辞如出一辙。

    **For the moment, the Epstein story is a frustrating distraction for a president used to bending the news cycle, and national attention, to his will.**
    对习惯操纵新闻周期的特朗普而言，爱泼斯坦事件暂时只是恼人的干扰。

    **With Republicans in control of Washington, the controversy will only consume his presidency if Trump's own allies allow it to.**
    由于共和党掌控华盛顿，这场风波只有在其盟友默许下才会危及他的总统任期。

    **If the grumbling and disaffection in Trump's faithful persist, however, it could exact a high toll on the Republican party in next year's midterm congressional elections, when voter enthusiasm typically determines which party prevails.**
    但若铁杆支持者的不满持续，可能使共和党在明年中期选举付出惨重代价——选民热情通常决定胜负。

    **And if Democrats wrest control of one or both chambers of Congress - and gain their accompanying investigatory powers - the Epstein files, and Trump's connection to them, could go from a political sideshow to centre-ring spectacle.**
    若民主党夺回国会一院或两院控制权及相应调查权，爱泼斯坦文件及特朗普的关联将从政治花边升级为焦点事件。
