英國駐美大使郵件中稱美國白宮政府無能

Sensitive diplomatic cables and memos leaked to the British tabloid the Daily Mail reveal that the UK's ambassador to the US considers President Donald Trump to be "inept", "insecure" and "incompetent".

英國小報《每日郵報》近日曝光了英國駐美大使形美國總統唐納德·特朗普“不稱職”、“不靠譜”以及“無能”的敏感的外交電文和備忘錄。

The critical comments were made by Sir Kim Darroch to various members and officials of the UK government, dating from 2017 to 2019.

從2017年到2019年，達羅克爵士向英國政府的多位大臣及官員發表了這些批評性言論。

"We don't really believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal; less dysfunctional; less unpredictable; less faction riven; less diplomatically clumsy and inept," said Darroch.

達羅克說：“我們不認爲這屆美國政府會變得更加正常、少一些功能失調、少一些不可預測、少一些四分五裂、少一些笨拙無能的外交動作。”

He also warned his government that Trump's career "could end in disgrace".

他還警告倫敦方面，特朗普的職業生涯可能“以恥辱告終”。

Mr. Trump lashed out at Mr. Darroch last Sunday in comments to reporters. "The ambassador has not served the U.K. well, I can tell you that," he said. "We are not big fans of that man, and he has not served the U.K. well. So I can understand it and I can say things about him but I won't bother."

特朗普在上週日接受記者採訪時猛烈抨擊了達羅克。他說道：“我可以告訴你們，這位大使沒有好好地爲英國服務。我們可不是那個人的粉絲，他也沒有服務好他的國家，所以我可以理解，我也可以透點他的底，但我可懶得這麼做。”

A statement by the British Foreign Office made it clear that the documents were authentic and an investigation was launched into how they were leaked.

英國外交部的一份聲明已經證實了電文的真實性，而這些電文是如何被泄露的相關調查工作已經啓動。
