Angela Merkel delivered a forensic takedown of Donald Trump and his presidency to Harvard University』s class of 2019 on Thursday as she urged graduates to act with integrity and self-control as they embark on their careers.

周四，德國總理安格拉?默克爾在哈佛大學2019屆畢業生面前發表了一場包含對唐納德?特朗普及其總統任期嚴厲批評的演講，她敦促畢業生們在開始職業生涯時要正直、自律。

Without ever mentioning the U.S. leader by name, the German chancellor checked off a list of policy issues where she has clashed with Trump -- from trade, to immigration and climate change -- that left her audience in no doubt as to whom she might mean.

雖然這位德國總理在整場演講中絲毫沒有提到這位美國領導人的名字，但她列舉了一系列與特朗普發生衝突的政策問題，這其中包括貿易、移民和氣候變化等問題，這使得眾人皆知她指的可能是誰。

When she called on the students and university alumni to "tear down walls" they rose to their feet -- Trump』s 2016 battle cry, of course, was to "build the wall" to keep out immigrants coming across the border with Mexico.

當她呼籲學生們和大學校友們「推倒牆」時，他們紛紛站了起來，很顯然，此舉是為了響應特朗普2016年的競選戰鬥口號「築起牆」，他的口號意在阻止來自墨西哥邊境的移民進入。

「Tear down walls of ignorance and narrow-mindedness, for nothing has to stay as it is,」 Merkel said in a speech.

默克爾在演講中說道：「推倒無知和思想狹隘的牆，因為沒有什麼東西可以一成不變。」

Yet she also warned of the damage done to public life when people treat "lies as truth and truth as lies" and suggested it』s better to stop and think before acting on "first impulses" -- comments that prompted cheers and laughter.

然而，她也警告說，當人們「把謊言當作真理，把真理說成謊言」時，會對公眾生活造成損害。她還建議，不要總是「憑第一感覺」行動，最好先停下來想一想。默克爾此話一出，台下爆發一陣歡呼和大笑。

The 64-year-old chancellor has been horrified by Trump』s willingness to go back on his word as she tries to hold together the global order that the U.S. helped to create. Just over two years after Trump took office, some of Merkel』s aides worry the breakdown in U.S.-German relations has passed the point of no return.

這位64歲的總理對特朗普的一再食言感到震驚，她試圖維持美國幫助創建的全球秩序。特朗普上任兩年多後，默克爾的一些助手擔心，美德關係的破裂已經到了無可挽回的地步。

As Trump wages a trade war with China and threatens tariffs on German cars, Merkel』s most explicit invective was aimed at a trade policy that jeopardizes the 「foundations of our prosperity.」

在特朗普與中國展開貿易戰，並威脅對德國汽車徵收關稅之際，默克爾最明確的抨擊是針對一項危及當今「我們繁榮根基」的貿易政策。

Some 2,000 miles to the west, Trump was giving his own commencement speech to the graduates of the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. He used the occasion to reprise his America First doctrine, saying the U.S. won』t sacrifice its interests for those of foreign powers.

無獨有偶，在哈佛西邊約2000英里的地方，特朗普正在科羅拉多斯普林斯的美國空軍學院畢業典禮上發表他自己的演講。他利用這個機會重申了他的「美國優先」主義，強調說美國再也不會為了任何外國勢力的利益而犧牲美國人的利益了。

「We don』t do that anymore,」 Trump told students. 「In all things and ways we are putting America first, and it』s about time.」

「我們不再這樣做了」，特朗普對學生們說：「在所有事情和方式上，是時候全力以赴把美國放在第一位了。」

East German Past

東德往事

Merkel, Germany』s first female chancellor, drew at length from her own biography as the daughter of a pastor who grew up in communist East Germany and rose from political obscurity after the collapse of the Berlin Wall and German reunification in 1990 to the country』s highest elected office.

默克爾是德國首位女總理，她的傳記中詳細描述了她的生平。她的父親是一名牧師，在共產主義的東德長大。1990年柏林牆倒塌和德國統一後，他從政治上的默默無聞者一躍成為德國最高民選官員。

Merkel, who says she won』t run again when her current term ends in 2021 at the latest, was aiming to burnish her legacy. She denies seeking another political office, including heading one of the European Union institutions, said Thursday that her post-chancellorship future is 「completely open.」

默克爾表示，她在本屆任期結束後不會再次參選，這最遲要到2021年，她的目標是為自己的政治生涯增光添彩。她否認她將尋求另一個政治職位，包括領導一個歐盟機構。她周四時表示，她自從擔任了總理後，她的未來便「具有了無限地可能」。

Merkel is the first German leader to give an address at Harvard since 1990, when former Chancellor Helmut Kohl delivered it the year of German reunification.

默克爾是自1990年德國前總理赫爾穆特?科爾在德國統一那年發表哈佛演講以來，首位在哈佛發表演講的德國領導人。
