So, there are soldiers from Lithuania, there's some others from Germany as well, but look what they have tucked into their pockets.

這些阿兵哥來自立陶宛，還有一些來自德國，但看看他們口袋裡裝的是什麼？

程度副詞

They have little American flags just below the flag of their own countries sewn onto their sleeves.

他們的袖子上都縫有小美國國旗，就在本國國旗的下方。

In the capital city of Lithuania yesterday, thousands of soldiers and dignitaries and also just ordinary people lined up in the streets to pay their respects and to honor four American soldiers who died in Lithuania.

昨天，在立陶宛首都，數以千計的阿兵哥、政要和普通民眾在街頭列隊悼念在立陶宛犧牲的四名美國士兵。

This past week during a training exercise, the ceremony was attended by the president of Lithuania, who gave a speech on the occasion.

在上週的一次訓練中，立陶宛總統出席了儀式並發表了講話。

He said that for Lithuanians, serving your country is not just a duty, but an emotion.

他說，對立陶宛人來說，為國效力不僅是一種責任，更是一種情感。

And you could really see that among the people who gathered.

你可以從聚集在一起的人們身上真切地感受到這一點。

Lithuanian citizens were moved to tears, moved to genuine grief.

立陶宛公民感動得熱淚盈眶，悲痛欲絕。

But again, this was a ceremony for Americans, for American soldiers.

但同樣，這是一個為美國人、為美國士兵舉行的儀式。

Soldiers arranged for an archbishop to bless the motorcade before it drove to the airport to start the process of returning those remains, returning those soldiers to the U.S.

阿兵哥們安排了一位大主教為車隊祈福，然後車隊開往機場，開始送還這些遺體，將這些阿兵哥送回美國。

In our country, of course, it is a sacred tradition that when members of the armed services die in the line of duty overseas, their remains come home to the U.S. in what's called a dignified transfer.

當然，在我們國家，一個神聖的傳統是，當軍隊成員在海外因公殉職時，他們的遺體會以所謂的有尊嚴的移交方式運回美國。

Their remains are flown home specifically to Dover Air Base with American flags draped over the coffins.

他們的遺體被專門空運回多佛爾空軍基地，棺木上懸掛著美國國旗。

It's a very somber, very important, very serious, very specific ceremony.

這是一個非常陰沉、非常重要、非常嚴肅、非常特別的儀式。

And a dignified transfer is often attended by the president of the United States as a sign of respect from the commander-in-chief.

美國總統通常會出席體面的移交儀式，以示對總司令的尊重。

After that very moving send-off from Lithuania and from the government and the people of

在立陶宛以及立陶宛政府和人民非常感人的歡送之後

Lithuania, the White House announced here in the United States that when those four young fallen American soldiers landed back home here in the U.S., President Donald Trump would not attend the dignified transfer.

在立陶宛，白宮在美國這裡宣佈，當這四名年輕的陣亡美國士兵在美國本土著陸時，唐納德-特朗普總統將不會出席有尊嚴的移交儀式。

He would not be waiting at Dover to pay respects to the service members who died, even as Lithuania's president made sure he was there to see them off.

他不會在多佛爾等待向犧牲的軍人致敬，即使立陶宛總統確保他在那裡為他們送行。

Donald Trump has decided instead that he's going to Florida to watch a golf tournament and to go to a golf dinner tonight.

唐納德-特朗普（Donald Trump）則決定前往佛羅里達州觀看一場高爾夫球賽，並參加今晚的高爾夫球晚宴。

Given his previous comments, I guess you could say this is consistent with his apparent level of investment on this issue.

鑑於他以前的評論，我想你可以說這與他在這個問題上的明顯投資水準是一致的。

I've got to tell you, we do not play a lot of tape of Donald Trump talking on this show.

我得告訴你，在這個節目中，我們不會播放很多唐納德-特朗普的談話錄音。

We sort of—it's not a hard-and-fast rule, but kind of a rule of thumb on this show is that we try to cover what the president does rather than just what he says.

我們並沒有硬性規定，但這個節目的一個經驗法則是，我們儘量報道總統的所作所為，而不僅僅是他說了什麼。

He gets plenty of coverage for what he says.

I prefer to focus on actions rather than his words.

比起他的言辭，我更願意關注他的行動。

In this case, though, I'm going to make a little bit of an exception.

不過，在這種情況下，我還是要破例一下。

I think what he said here is its own kind of action.

我認為他在這裡所說的話本身就是一種行動。

This is how Donald Trump, president of the United States, responded when he was asked about the service members in Lithuania after they first went missing.

美國總統唐納德-特朗普（Donald Trump）在立陶宛的軍人首次失蹤後被問及此事時是這樣回答的。

Mr. President, have you been briefed about the soldiers in Lithuania who are missing?

總統先生，您是否瞭解立陶宛失蹤阿兵哥的情況？

What was it again that the Lithuanian president said about service?

立陶宛總統關於服務的說法是什麼來著？

他說，對我們來說，這不僅僅是一種責任。

對唐納德-特朗普來說，是這樣嗎？
