2020考研英语时事阅读:特朗普上演“我养你啊!”

Donald Trump may have expressed an interest in acquiring Greenland for the US, but Denmark thinks the idea is frankly insane and Greenlanders have pointed out their home is not actually for sale. The US president has asked his aides and the White House counsel to look into the possibility of buying the world’s largest island, a largely autonomous country of the kingdom of Denmark.

The Greenland government was diplomatic, saying it had a good working relationship with the US and saw the inquiry as “an expression of general greater interest in investing in our country and its opportunities”. But it added firmly: “Greenland is obviously not for sale.” In comments echoed in somewhat stronger terms by other politicians in both Greenland and Denmark, the country’s foreign minister confirmed the country was “open for business, but not for sale”.

Eighty per cent of Greenland’s 2.16m sq km are covered in ice, and its 56,000 inhabitants are concentrated mainly around the coastlines and in the capital, Nuuk. The island has home rule from Denmark in most domestic matters but Copenhagen is in charge of defence and foreign affairs.

【参考译文】

唐纳德·特朗普向格陵兰岛表达了将其“收编”美国的意愿，但是丹麦认为能有这个想法还真是脑子有些“瓦塔”了，格陵兰人民也明确表示国家是“非卖品”。这位美国总统咨询其助手和白宫法律顾问关于收购世界上最大岛屿，也就是丹麦王国高度自治国家格陵兰岛的可能性有多少。

格陵兰政府外交回应尽显老练灵活，称与美一直保持良好的合作关系，并将这一说法看作是“对格陵兰有意愿加大投资，创造更多机遇”，但是坚定提出“格陵兰绝不出售一寸领土”。来自格陵兰和丹麦的其他政客的回应言辞也较激烈，外交部部长也明确提出“谈生意，来;买土地，滚!”

格陵兰岛216万平方公里的领土上，80%被冰层覆盖，5.6万居民主要集中在沿岸一带和首都努克。由丹麦自治格陵兰大部分国内事务，但是哥本哈根负责格陵兰的国防和外事。
