這笑話鬧大了!安倍送特朗普的球杆竟屬中國公司!

The gift offered by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump during their recent meeting was made by a branch of a Chinese company in Japan, Japanese media reported.

據日本媒體報道，在近期的一次會晤中，日本首相安倍晉三送給美國總統當選人唐納德·特朗普的禮物是由中國一家公司的日本分公司製造的。

As the first foreign leader to meet Trump since the election, Abe presented Trump with a golden golf club to reinforce mutual trust.

自大選以來，首位與特朗普會晤的外國領導人安倍向特朗普贈送了一個金色的高爾夫球杆以增強互信。

However, the club was manufactured by a company that, while originally Japanese, has since been acquired by a Chinese enterprise.

然而，該球杆是一家起初爲日企、現已被中國企業收購的公司製造的。

Honma Golf Ltd. was acquired in 2010 due to operational hardships.

由於經營困難，本間高爾夫有限公司於2010年被收購。

Tomoo Marukawa, a professor at the University of Tokyo, argued that this fact could actually give the present more significance.

不過東京大學一名名叫友男丸川的教授卻認爲，這件事情能夠賦予禮物更多的重要性。

By offering a gift that represents globalization to a man who encourages protectionism, the golf club could be viewed as a concealed warning from Japan.

通過贈送一件代表全球化的禮物給一個鼓勵貿易保護主義的人，高爾夫球杆可被視爲日本的一個暗號。

Sports Hochi, a Japanese news site, commented wryly that the gift had clearly faciliated communication, since the scheduled 45-minute meeting continued for 90 minutes.

日本新聞網站《體育報知》對此事挖苦地評論道，這件禮物明顯促進了交流，因爲預定45分鐘的會晤延長到了90分鐘。
