Transcript（文字记录）：
RENEEMONTAGNE, HOST: Britain isgiving China's president thefive- star treatment during a state visit to London. Today, Xi Jinping ddressesParliament and attends a state banquet with the queen, and he will stay at Buckingham Palace. All of which is symbolic of whatsome raditional allies of Britainsee as an overly cozy relationship. Here's NPR's Leila Fadel.

RENEEMONTAGNE，主持人：在中国国家主席对伦敦的国事访问期间，英国组织了一次五星级的招待。今天，习主席在议会演讲，参加女王的国宴，留宿白金汉宫。这一切奢华的接待在英国的传统盟友看来是一个明显的象征。

这里是NPR的Leila Fadel.

LEILAFADEL, BYLINE: This visit to Britainis worlds apart from President Xi Jinping's tense trip to the United Statesthis September. At the time, resident Obama signaled he was ready to slap China with sanctions over cyberattacks the U.S. blames on Beijing. But in London,both China and the UK say his is the start of a golden era, as Britain curriesfavor for Chinese investments. In east London,Chinese firm ABP is investing more than $2.6 billion dollars to develop ahistoric dockland property.

LeilaFadel，报刊文章撰稿人：习对英国的这次访问和九月间对美国紧张之旅全然不同。在那次对美国的访问中，奥巴马总统示意他将为了北京对美国的网络攻击而制裁中国。然而在伦敦，中英异口同声地说这是黄金时代的开始，英国为了投资向中国献媚。在伦敦东部，总部基地(中国)控股集团(ABP)投资超过26亿美元以发展一个历史悠久的码头区物业。

NEILROBINSON: This is a unique and very special place because we are going totransform Royal Albert Dock into London'snext business district.

NEILROBINSON:这是个很独特、很特别的地方，因为我们将把皇家阿尔伯特码头（Royal Albert Dock）改造为伦敦的下一个商业区。

FADEL: That's Neil Robinson of ABP.He says the new development will be London'sthird largest business district. It's aimed squarely at Chinese and Asiancompanies. Just a few years ago, relations between Britainand China were under severestrain, but now parts of central London havebeen redecorated to welcome China'spresident.
This is Chinatown.In front of me is a sign welcoming President Xi Jinping to the United Kingdomand above me are endless amounts of red and gold lanterns in honor of hisvisit.
While London'sChinatown is celebrating Xi's presence, so area lot of British businessmen. The UKis China'stop European destination for investment, and new deals are on the horizon. Thisincludes a controversial plan for Chinese investment in a nearly $40 billiondollar nuclear power project. Critics ask whether Britainis risking its national security by giving Chinainfluence in the UK'snuclear industry. Agatha Kratz from the European Council on Foreign Relationssays everyone wants to do business with China. But she says the UK's European partners are jealous of Britain's success and think it's gone too farto court China.

FADEL:刚才是总部基地(中国)控股集团(ABP)的NEIL ROBINSON发言。他认为这个开发区将成为伦敦第三大的商业区。开发区瞄准了中国及亚洲公司。就在不久之前，中英关系还压力重重，然而现在伦敦的部分中心为了迎接习中国主席重新装修。
这里是中国城。在我面前是欢迎习主席访英的招牌，以及无数的红色、金色灯笼以致庆祝。
不仅是中国城，还有许多商人也在庆祝习主席的到来。联合王国是中国在欧洲的最大投资地，而新的交易已经露出了地平线。其中包括一项充满争议的项目，投资400亿美元的核电站工程。评论家怀疑中国参与英国的核工业是否冒着国家安全方面的影响。欧洲对外关系委员会的Agatha Kratz说，每个人都希望和中国人做生意，她还说联合王国的欧洲伙伴在嫉妒，嫉妒英国的成功，嚷嚷说英国在讨好中国方面太过份了。

AGATHAKRATZ: Everyone is annoyed but annoyed that maybe the UK is doing so well but also annoyed that the UK is willingto do so much to do so well. And it puts other countries in a difficultsituation.

AGATHAKRATZ:每个人都在生气，生气于英国做得这么好，还生气于英国愿意这样做，这让其他国家处于困难境地。

FADEL:Britain,she says, seems willing to do almost anything to win Chinese favor whileignoring issues like human rights.

FADEL:大不列颠，看来愿意做任何事以获得中国欢心，而忽略了其他一些事情比如说人权。

KRATZ:The UKhas forgotten completely about that. It just won't speak about it anymore. Andfor countries that have tried for so long to actually keep that on the agenda,it is a bit disappointing.

KRATZ:联合王国并没有全然忘却，只是仅仅不再提这件事。（译者注，这一句原文前后矛盾，因此有改动以统一语义）对于一些长期以来把这些保持在议事日程上的国家来说，这有点遗憾。

FADEL:Kratzsays it's hard to have a united European policy toward China when the UK is so busy trying to impress.The West is grappling with how to deal with Chinanow that it's a global powerhouse, says Michel Hockx of the School of Orientaland African Studies. Now since the U.S.has taken a harsher stance with China,the UKis playing a different game.

FADEL:Kratz认为当联合王国忙于加深关系的时候欧洲难以有一个统一的对华政策。东方及非洲研究院的Michel Hockx说，整个西方都在探索如何和作为世界发动机的中国打交道。现在美国采取了强硬立场，而联合王国在玩另一套。

MICHELHOCKX: The UK realized that they could actually go for a completely novelapproach and present themselves as China's sort of most significantand most trusted Western partner.

MICHELHOCKX:联合王国意识到他们可以和中国建立新型关系，成为中国在西方最信赖最有意义的伙伴。

FADEL: Chinahas money to invest and consumers to consume, Hockx says, and the UK is trying tocapture both. Leila Fadel, NPR News, London.

FADEL:中国拥有资金以投资，还有大量消费者消费。Hockx说，联合王国则试图二者皆得。

Both liberal and conservative voters need to be alarmed at how our,respective,liberal and conservative leaders are cozying up to totalitarian states forshort term socialist and economic gains. China has a billion plus populationthat is economically disenfranchised. We were promised that China woulddemocratize, but they are not. As articles on thelandscapeoftruth.com suggest,the West is putting its citizens’ liberal freedoms at risk as we become ore
dependent upon relationships with totalitarian states. Plus, the onslaught ofeconomic migrants is draining the resources of our schools systems andhealthcare. We need join together and take a stand.

不管是自由主义还是保守派的选民们该警醒了，我们的各位自由派或者保守派的领导人们热衷于为了短期政治经济利益讨好极权国家。中国在经济上盘剥这十多亿人口。我们曾获得许诺中国将民主化，然而他们没有这样做。正如thelandscapeoftruth.com上推荐的文章指出，西方世界正在公民自由上冒险因为我们越来越依赖于和极权国家的联系。另外经济移民的冲击正在耗干我们的教育与保健资源。我们必须团结起来站在一起。

A lot of the E B 5 visas go to the Chinese and a lot of those visas arefilled with fraud too!

许多EB5 签证落在中国人中，绝大部分这些签证充满欺诈。

Where are we and the EU headed? The power of money as control was spreadto Europe by the US.So their Labor or Social Democratic parties exist in name only, just as thedemocratic {people rule} party ceased to exist by the time Clinton took charge. He provided the BigBanksters their greatest prize of all, repeal of Glass-Steagall, and thegreatest economic crisis since the Great Depression followed,, just what thatAct was intended to prevent.

我们和欧洲将前往何方？金钱的力量从欧洲到美国不断扩展。劳动党、社民党名存实亡，就像克林顿上台时，民主（人治）党消亡一样。他给大银行家以巨额奖励，废除《格拉斯——斯蒂格尔法》，然后来了大萧条之后的最大经济危机。什么样的行动才能阻止这一切。

Its also their cheap and poorly madeproducts. There was a story on NPR on the BayBridge and its cost including boltsmade from Chinathat were not up to speck.
In this country as well we had all theasbestos in the building materials after Katrina.
Doesn't make sense! but think of the big picture when you need money as itmay cost you more in the long run!

还有他们的廉价而粗制滥造的产品。在NPR有篇关于海湾大桥和它的中国造的未达标的螺栓的代价的报道。
在这个国家，卡特里娜飓风过后，我们在所有的建筑材料里发现了石棉。
不需多说，想一想你现在得到了钱但是未来要为此付出更多。

JIM, remember when the same was said about Japanese products? Now theirhigh tech products are right up their with the leaders. China isfollowing the same pattern.

JIM,想一想我们曾经怎样评论日本产品？现在高科技产品是它们的领军人物。中国正遵循相同模式。

The USA is already virtually owned by Communist China (Capitalist China),sending us junk products from slave camps; who knows how many so-called USAcompanies now owned by Chinese; and we turn our backs to human rights abusesfor the sake of money. So, the UKis going to try to do better with this horrendously murdering red dragon? AsIslam spreads it's nasty hate throughout Europe,the Chinese sleek in like a slimy snake and will devour anything in its path.

实际上美国早已被共产中国（资本主义中国）实际统治，给予我们来自奴隶营垃圾产品。有谁知道多少名义上的美国公司实际为中国人所有；为了钱我们背叛了人权。现在，联合王国想和可怕的谋杀成性的红龙交好？当Islam教将憎恶传遍欧洲的时候，中国像条狡猾的蛇诱惑着大家，然后吞噬所经之处的一切。

KEN; And what is our inglorious corporate state doing by its illegalinterventionism in the Mid East, the world's energy breadbasket? And how manyof those billionaire one-percenters got there using the Chinese "slavelabor" as a tool, that at the expense of US workers?

KEN;还有我们的不光彩的公司国家在中东，世界能源之仓，的非法干涉。还有多少亿万富翁，那些百分之一，将中国的“奴隶劳动”作为工具使用，以牺牲美国工人为代价。

This is a rather strange move by Britain,ONE BritainTWO Systems. In fact, the USglobal investment banks can start to move out from Londoncity to other big financial centre in Europe and the candidates would beFrankfurt or Dublin.

不列颠的动向十分怪异，一个不列颠两个系统。事实上，美国投资银行应该从伦敦迁往欧洲其他大的金融中心，比如说法兰克福、都柏林。
