The Port of Los Angeles and their neighboring ports of Long Beach.

Is the busiest container handling complex in the United States.

是美國最繁忙的貨櫃裝卸綜合設施。

About one third of all containerized cargo that comes into the country comes in through the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

在進入美國的所有貨櫃貨物中，約有三分之一是通過洛杉磯港和長灘港進入美國的。

It really is going to be ground zero for where we see the impacts of the tariffs on US trade.

這裡將成為關稅對美國貿易影響的 "原點"。

We treat the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach together as a single container complex.

我們將洛杉磯港和長灘港視為一個貨櫃綜合體。

The the two ports are right next door to each other.

And it is the biggest port in the country for one simple reason, which is that it is the closest port to China and to the rest of Asia.

它是該國最大的港口，原因很簡單，因為它是距離中國和亞洲其他地區最近的港口。

它使美國大多數其他海港相形見絀。

On an average month between 800 to 900, sometimes more than 900,000 containers all loaded with goods coming into that port complex.

平均每個月有 800 到 900 個貨櫃，有時甚至超過 90 萬個貨櫃滿載貨物駛入該綜合港口。

Some of the other ports around the country like at Houston or Savannah or New York and New Jersey.

全國其他一些港口，如休斯頓、薩凡納、紐約和紐澤西。

Some of those will handle imports from Asia, but particularly on the East Coast ports, they are handling more of the cargos that are coming in from Europe.

其中一些港口將處理來自亞洲的進口貨物，但特別是在東海岸港口，它們正在處理更多來自歐洲的貨物。

And that's because even in, you know, just post election and in the run up to President Trump's tariff announcements.

這是因為，即使是在大選之後，在特朗普總統宣佈徵收關稅之前。

Importers have known that there has been the possibility of tariffs coming down the road.

進口商們都知道，關稅有可能會出臺。

And so they have been placing orders for the last six months to try to get particularly important component parts and other products in early just in case the tariffs were going to hit.

是以，在過去六個月裡，他們一直在下訂單，試圖儘早獲得特別重要的零部件和其他產品，以防關稅的衝擊。

It's a hive of activity, extremely regimented and and very busy most of the time.

它是一個活動的蜂巢，極其規範，大部分時間都非常繁忙。

The ports themselves are very important economic generators to regional economies.

港口本身就是地區經濟非常重要的經濟來源。

The big fear in the logistics industry at ports, warehouses and trucking companies is that pretty soon those orders are going to start to die off.

港口、倉庫和卡車運輸公司的物流業最擔心的是，這些訂單很快就會開始消失。

Because importers are going to dial back on their orders and that's going to lead to a lot less business for the ports and all of the other logistics companies that rely on it for their business.

因為進口商將縮減訂單，這將導致港口和其他依賴港口業務的物流公司的業務減少。

If there is a drop off in imports, dock workers are going to have fewer hours, they're going to lose some of their pay.

如果進口量下降，碼頭工人的工作時間就會減少，他們的工資也會減少一部分。

A lot of truck drivers are are mom and pop businesses and they've had a very tough few years.

很多卡車司機都是小本經營，這幾年的日子都不好過。

And so you're going to see truck drivers suffer and you're also probably going to see that trickle down to other parts of the regional economy to the the diners, the cafes, the bars, the restaurants and the other service industries that basically rely on logistics sector to do well for their business.

是以，你會看到卡車司機受到影響，你也可能會看到這種影響波及到地區經濟的其他部分，波及到食客、咖啡館、酒吧、餐館和其他服務行業，而這些行業基本上都依賴物流業來發展業務。

When you go to your local grocery store, you may see the truck in the parking lot and not give it a second thought, but that's a delivery of goods that started its life in a factory in China.

當你去當地的雜貨店買東西時，你可能會在停車場看到那輛卡車，但並不會多想，因為那是在中國工廠開始生產的貨物。

Was loaded onto a ship and brought to the United States.

And then maybe loaded onto a freight train and hauled halfway across the country and then delivered to the store that day.

然後可能會被裝上貨運火車，運過大半個國家，當天送到商店。

If the tariffs cause the economy to slow down, then that whole logistics network, it's going to continue operating, but it's also going to slow down and it's going to hurt people in that industry.

如果關稅導致經濟放緩，那麼整個物流網絡將繼續運行，但也會放緩，並對該行業的從業者造成傷害。
