 　　US President-elect Donald Trump¹ announced last Monday that he will withdraw the US from the Trans-Pacific Partnership² (TPP) on his first day in office.

　　美国当选总统唐纳德·特朗普上周一宣布，上任第一天将让美国退出跨太平洋伙伴关系协定(TPP)。

　　"I'm going to issue a notification of intent to withdraw from the TPP, a potential disaster for our country," Trump said.

　　特朗普称："我将发布意在退出TPP的通知，TPP对美国而言是潜在灾难。"

　　"Instead, we'll negotiate fair bilateral³ trade deals that bring jobs and industry onto American shores, " he added.

　　他补充说道："我们将协商公平的双边贸易协议以取代TPP，为美国海岸带来就业和产业机会。"

　　He also touched upon energy, regulation, national security, immigration and ethics⁴ reform.

　　此外，他还谈到了能源、法规、国家安全、移民和德育改革。

　　In any zero sum view of the great power game in Asia, the US retreat from TPP is in China's strategic interest, and not just because of the loss of an American-backed trade deal or a pillar of its strategic pivot⁵ to Asia.

　　在亚洲各国零和博弈的观点之中，美国退出TPP都符合中国的战略利益，这不仅仅是因为美国支持的贸易协定由此而蒸发，或者是其重返亚洲战略的失败。

　　Put bluntly, can the US still be trusted to come to the rescue of its Asian allies if cowed or threatened by a rising China? Whatever the answer, the fact that American allies are even asking the question is already good news for China.

　　坦白而言，如果美国的亚洲盟友受到了日益强大的中国的恐吓或威胁，他们还能相信美国可以为自己提供援助吗？无论答案是什么，事实就是，美国的盟友正在对此发出质疑，这对中国而言就早已是一个好消息了。
