to 不定詞

Donald Trump just made a major announcement that he wouldn't actually mind using military force in order to take over Greenland.

唐納德-特朗普（Donald Trump）剛剛宣佈了一項重大消息，稱他其實並不介意動用軍事力量來接管格陵蘭島。

未來簡單式

And making Greenland part of the United States is going to be a major blow to the European Union.

而讓格陵蘭成為美國的一部分，將是對歐盟的重大打擊。

情態助動詞 A2

And this could be so bad that it could lead to the catastrophic collapse of the Union that we know it today and will change the entire global geopolitics.

這種情況可能會非常糟糕，以至於導致我們今天所知的聯盟的災難性崩潰，並將改變整個全球地緣政治。

And if you also include the fact that Donald Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state of the United States, I mean, the world is going to change and we will see things that we have never seen in our entire lives.

如果再加上唐納德-特朗普想讓加拿大成為美國的第51個州，我的意思是，世界將會改變，我們將會看到我們一生中從未見過的事情。

So here in this video, I want to talk to you not just about that, but also about how making Greenland part of the United States is going to have catastrophic consequences.

是以，在這段視頻中，我不僅想跟大家談談這個問題，還想跟大家談談把格陵蘭島變成美國的一部分會帶來怎樣的災難性後果。

I mean, it's going to be great for the United States.

我的意思是，這將對美國大有裨益。

It is going to boost the US economy because most of the natural resources that are located in Greenland haven't been exploited yet.

這將促進美國經濟的發展，因為格陵蘭的大部分自然資源尚未被開發。

So maybe this is the time for Exxon Mobil and US companies to get into Greenland and make Greenland great again.

是以，也許現在正是埃克森美孚和美國公司進入格陵蘭，讓格陵蘭再次偉大的時候。

Yes, from one aspect, it is really great because the Greenlandish economy is going to go to the moon.

是的，從一個方面來說，這確實是件好事，因為格陵蘭的經濟將登上月球。

On the other side, it is very bad if you are actually caring about the environment and you want to preserve the nature in your country.

另一方面，如果你真正關心環境，想要保護本國的自然環境，那就非常糟糕了。

But nonetheless, the population of Greenland is so tiny that nobody even counts it.

但儘管如此，格陵蘭的人口還是少得可憐，甚至沒有人統計過。

It's not even like a million people to consider.

That's like a small town somewhere in the corner of whatever.

那就像一個小鎮，在什麼什麼的某個角落。

So let's take a deep look of how important Greenland is to the European Union.

讓我們深入瞭解一下格陵蘭對歐盟的重要性。

Now if you take a look at the European Union, it's one of the wealthiest places on planet Earth after the United States.

縱觀歐盟，它是僅次於美國的地球上最富裕的國家之一。

And just by looking at this map, you can already see the size of Greenland.

只要看看這張地圖，你就能知道格陵蘭島的面積有多大。

It's so huge that it shouldn't be undermined.

它是如此巨大，不應該被削弱。

The entire size of the EU is 1.7 square miles.

整個歐盟的面積為 1.7 平方英里。

On the other hand, Greenland is 836,000 square miles.

另一方面，格陵蘭島面積為 83.6 萬平方英里。

By losing Greenland, European Union is losing a third of its territories.

失去格陵蘭，歐洲聯盟將失去三分之一的領土。

Yes, technically, Greenland is not part of the European Union, but Greenland belongs to Denmark, and Denmark is part of the European Union.

是的，從技術上講，格陵蘭不是歐盟的一部分，但格陵蘭屬於丹麥，而丹麥是歐盟的一部分。

So by losing Greenland, technically, the EU is losing one of its major important lands that it has.

是以，從技術上講，失去格陵蘭，歐盟就失去了它所擁有的重要土地之一。

Another thing that you have to care about is that Greenland is filled with natural resources, one of the places that haven't been exploited all these years, and it's filled with rare earth minerals and oil and gas.

另一件你必須關心的事情是，格陵蘭島充滿了自然資源，是這些年來尚未被開發的地方之一，這裡到處都是稀土礦、石油和天然氣。

I mean, I can give you a very long list of the things of the natural resources that Greenland is filled with, and it's extremely strategically important for the United States.

我的意思是，我可以給你一長串格陵蘭自然資源的清單，它對美國具有極其重要的戰略意義。

Because if you take a look at what's happening over the last, what, 30 years, China has been dominating and created an entire monopoly on the rare earth minerals and the rare earth metals in order to create batteries and dominate technologies.

因為如果你看一下過去 30 年發生的事情，中國一直在主導和創造對稀土礦物和稀土金屬的整體壟斷，以製造電池和主導技術。

Yes, you can create a semiconductor, an advanced semiconductor, you can create an advanced technology, but in order to build that technology, you need the metals in the first place.

是的，你可以創造一種半導體，一種先進的半導體，你可以創造一種先進的技術，但要建立這種技術，你首先需要金屬。

So whoever has control over those rare earth metals is going to control the future, is going to control the 21st century.

是以，誰能控制這些稀土金屬，誰就能控制未來，誰就能控制 21 世紀。

I mean, if you're wondering why China is pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into Africa, that's exactly your answer.

我的意思是，如果你想知道為什麼中國要向非洲投入數千億美元，這正是你的答案。

And Greenland is located just right beside the United States.

I mean, first of all, the United States needs it as a national security thing.

我的意思是，首先，美國需要它來保障國家安全。

And secondly, exploiting the resources will give the United States that edge that it needs in order to combat China and fight China in that case.

其次，開發資源將為美國提供所需的優勢，以便在這種情況下與中國抗衡。

Another important thing that you have to consider is that the North Pole is one of the places that also hasn't actually been exploited yet.

你必須考慮的另一個重要問題是，北極也是尚未被開發的地方之一。

And if you actually think about it, around 30% of the world's natural gas, undiscovered natural gas is located in the North Pole. 13% of undiscovered oil is also located in the North Pole.

如果你仔細想想，世界上大約 30% 的天然氣、未被發現的天然氣位於北極。13%未被發現的石油也位於北極。

And I haven't even talked about the freshwater.

Because the United States doesn't have a lot of access to it.

因為美國沒有很多機會獲得它。

Of course, the US has Alaska, and everything across Alaska might actually belong to the United States.

當然，美國也有阿拉斯加，阿拉斯加的一切實際上可能都屬於美國。

But if you actually take a look historically, and over the last 20 or 30 years, Russia spent like billions of dollars, it created those ships that would allow Russia to build military bases all across the Arctic, because it's filled with so many resources, and whoever will control it militarily will have that edge.

但如果你真正回顧一下歷史，在過去的二三十年裡，俄羅斯花費了數十億美元，建造了這些船隻，使俄羅斯能夠在整個北極地區建立軍事基地，因為那裡充滿了大量資源，誰能在軍事上控制那裡，誰就能獲得優勢。

And Greenland, since part of Denmark, and Denmark is part of the European Union, had also an upper hand in order to have some say around what is going to happen in the Arctic.

格陵蘭島是丹麥的一部分，而丹麥又是歐盟的一部分，是以格陵蘭島在北極地區的發展問題上也佔有一定的發言權。

I mean, just take a look at the map, and you can clearly see that Greenland is located right where it's supposed to be located.

我的意思是，只要看看地圖，你就能清楚地看到格陵蘭島就在它應該在的地方。

And you also have Canada that also have massive influence.

So by integrating these two countries into the United States, suddenly the US will have such a huge edge over Russia in controlling the Arctic that nobody could have imagined.

是以，將這兩個國家併入美國後，美國在控制北極地區方面將突然擁有超越俄羅斯的巨大優勢，這是任何人都無法想象的。

Because I mean, Canada, I mean, let's be honest, Canada, yes, it's the second largest country after Russia.

因為我是說，加拿大，說實話，加拿大是僅次於俄羅斯的第二大國。

I mean, the population of Canada is like, what, 37 or 40 million people at best?

我是說，加拿大的人口最多也就三千七百萬或四千萬吧？

And yet it's the second world's largest country.

When Trump said that it's about national security of the United States, he wasn't actually wrong.

當特朗普說這關係到美國的國家安全時，他其實並沒有說錯。

He's like, you know what, we're competing with China.

他說，你知道嗎，我們正在與中國競爭。

We are not competing with the European Union.

Yes, there are some industries where the EU is great.

是的，在某些行業中，歐盟的作用很大。

But even those industries, the EU have been struggling to keep and maintain its competitive edge.

但即使是這些行業，歐盟也一直在努力保持和維護其競爭優勢。

And now China is out-competing the entire European Union.

現在，中國的競爭力已經超過了整個歐盟。

So United States looks at the future with the national security thing is that we have to beat China.

是以，美國著眼於未來的國家安全問題，就是我們必須打敗中國。

And part of that, we don't want China to come to Greenland and invest billions of dollars.

其中一部分原因是，我們不希望中國來格陵蘭投資數十億美元。

Because China can come and just offer Greenland a much better deal than the United States.

因為中國可以來格陵蘭，給格陵蘭提供比美國好得多的條件。

And if China will be at the offshore of the United States, that is obviously a national security threat.

而如果中國將處於美國的近海，這顯然是對國家安全的威脅。

And secondly, if China dominates the national resources that are located in Greenland, that is another huge problem with the United States.

其次，如果中國主導了格陵蘭的國家資源，這對美國來說又是一個巨大的問題。

But this is just one out of many problems.

Another thing you have to consider is the shipping route.

您必須考慮的另一件事是運輸路線。

Now, if you take a look at how the global trade works, everything is shipped through containers on huge ships.

現在，如果你看看全球貿易是如何運作的，所有的東西都是通過巨輪上的集裝箱運輸的。

So 90% of all the trade are done through the oceans.

是以，90% 的貿易都是通過海洋進行的。

Whoever controls the oceans controls the global trade.

誰控制了海洋，誰就控制了全球貿易。

That's why the United States has the largest aircraft carriers in the world.

這就是為什麼美國擁有世界上最大的航空母艦。

The United States has the largest fleet of ships all across the globe.

And this map perfectly illustrates the importance of global trade.

這張地圖完美地詮釋了全球貿易的重要性。

Without having a dominance on global trade, the United States wouldn't be as rich as today.

沒有在全球貿易中的主導地位，美國就不會像今天這樣富裕。

On one side, it trades with the rest of the European Union.

一方面，它與歐盟其他國家開展貿易。

On the other side, it trades with China and Japan and entire Southeast Asia.

另一方面，它與中國、日本和整個東南亞都有貿易往來。

And one of the most fundamental problems that the United States had all across these years is that it needed to connect the eastern coast with the western coast.

這些年來，美國面臨的最根本問題之一就是需要將東部海岸與西部海岸連接起來。

And you might say that, well, that's not a problem.

Well, it might actually make sense from one side, but how do you imagine the United States actually driving or moving its aircraft carriers from one side to another?

好吧，從一個側面來看，這可能確實說得通，但你如何想象美國實際上是如何駕駛或移動其航空母艦從一側到另一側的呢？

How it's possible for the United States to do that quickly and effectively.

美國如何才能快速有效地做到這一點。

And that's why back in the days, the US built the Panama Canal.

這也是當年美國修建巴拿馬運河的原因。

Of course, it does not belong to the United States anymore, because it was kind of weird when you have a canal in another country and it belongs to the United States.

當然，它不再屬於美國，因為當你在另一個國家擁有一條運河時，它卻屬於美國，這有點奇怪。

And that's why back in the year 2000, the ownership of the canal went back to the Panamese people.

是以，早在 2000 年，運河的所有權就歸還給了巴拿馬人。

Those ships that go from Southeast Asia into the European Union, they pay a lot of money in order to make sure that they don't take the entire route through the entire Africa, but actually cross it through here.

那些從東南亞駛入歐盟的船隻要花很多錢，才能確保它們不走穿越整個非洲的航線，而是真正從這裡穿過。

And now because the ice is melting in the North Pole, what do you think is happening over there?

現在北極的冰正在融化，你認為那裡會發生什麼？

And because European Union, by having Denmark at its part and Greenland being part of Denmark, they had some control over the North Pole and they could actually negotiate with Russia and create an alternative road in the future to make sure that the European Union will have a much faster route through the entire Southeast Asia.

由於歐盟擁有丹麥，格陵蘭島也是丹麥的一部分，是以他們對北極擁有一定的控制權，而且他們實際上可以與俄羅斯進行談判，並在未來開闢一條替代道路，以確保歐盟有一條更快的路線穿越整個東南亞。

And now Greenland being part of the United States, they are going to lose that, which means that they will depend on Russia and the United States in order to make sure they can trade with the rest of the world.

現在格陵蘭成為美國的一部分，他們將失去這一點，這意味著他們將依賴俄羅斯和美國，以確保他們能夠與世界其他地方進行貿易。

That is not really a position you want to be.

Of course, it's not going to have like an immediate impact today because the route through the Arctic is not yet officially completed.

當然，這不會像今天這樣產生直接影響，因為穿越北極的路線尚未正式完工。

I mean, there are a few months in a year where you can actually move the ships over there and most of the ships would actually decide to take the traditional road in order to make sure that they don't get stuck somewhere in the Arctic.

我的意思是，一年中只有幾個月的時間可以把船隻真正開到那裡，而大多數船隻實際上都會決定走傳統的道路，以確保它們不會被困在北極的某個地方。

But over the next 10, 20 or maybe 30 years, it is going to be one of the most important routes for the ships.

但在未來的 10 年、20 年甚至 30 年裡，它將成為船隻最重要的航線之一。

And EU is not going to have any impact over it and EU will have to pay high fees to Greenland that will belong to the United States or Russia in order to make sure that they get their things faster.

歐盟對此不會有任何影響，歐盟將不得不向格陵蘭島支付屬於美國或俄羅斯的高額費用，以確保他們更快地得到自己的東西。

And even if you take a look at the numbers, you will be amazed.

即使你看一看這些數字，也會大吃一驚。

Like right now, if they actually ship it through the Swiss Canal, it's around 13,000 miles.

就像現在，如果通過瑞士運河運輸，大約需要 13000 英里。
