 　　Donald Trump1 plans to create a National Trade Council inside the White House to oversee2 industrial policy and is appointing a China hawk3 and one of the architects of the populist economic message to run the new group.

　　唐纳德.特朗普(Donald Trump)计划在美国白宫内部成立一个国家贸易委员会(National Trade Council)，负责产业政策，并将任命一个对华鹰派人物、民粹主义经济信息的制造者来领导这个新委员会。
　　Mr Trump has chosen Peter Navarro, a Harvard-trained economist4, to head the NTC, the Financial Times has learnt.
　　据英国《金融时报》了解，特朗普选择由毕业自哈佛(Harvard)的经济学家彼得.纳瓦罗(Peter Navarro)来领导国家贸易委员会。
　　The author of books such as Death by China and Crouching5 Tiger: What China’s Militarism Means for the World has for years warned that the US is engaged in an economic war with China and should adopt a more aggressive stance — a message that the president-elect sold to voters across the US during his campaign.
　　纳瓦罗著有《致命中国》(Death by China)、《卧虎：中国军国主义对世界意味着什么》(Crouching Tiger: What China’s Militarism Means for the World)等书，常年来不断警告美国正在与中国进行一场经济战争，应该采取更强硬的态度——特朗普在竞选期间向全美选民兜售同样的信息。
　　I read one of Peter’s books on America’s trade problems years ago and was impressed by the clarity of his arguments and thoroughness of his research, Mr Trump said.
　　特朗普说：几年前我读过彼得关于美国贸易问题的一本书，他那清晰的论点，周密的研究，给我留下了深刻印象。
　　He has presciently documented the harms inflicted6 by globalism on American workers, and laid out a path forward to restore our middle class.
　　他很有远见地记述了全球主义对美国工人造成的伤害，并为复兴我们的中产阶级指明了一条路。
　　The Trump transition team described Mr Navarro as a visionary economist who would develop trade policies that shrink our trade deficit7, expand our growth, and help stop the exodus8 of jobs from our shores.
　　特朗普过渡团队形容纳瓦罗是一位具有远见卓识的经济学家，他将制定贸易政策，缩小我们的贸易逆差，扩大我们的经济增长，帮助我们阻止就业机会流出国境。
　　His appointment is the second restructuring of trade policy that will see Mr Trump attempt to follow through on his focus to resurrect manufacturing, and create more industrial jobs, in the American economy.
　　他获得的这个任命是特朗普调整贸易政策的第二个动作，特朗普将试图贯彻他的核心经济策略，即振兴美国制造业，在国内工业中创造更多就业机会。
　　The FT reported earlier this month that Mr Trump had tapped Wilbur Ross, a billionaire investor9 who has been nominated as secretary of commerce, to oversee his trade policy, creating a new inter-agency process that would cut the influence of the US Trade Representative, the office which has for years negotiated trade deals.
　　英国《金融时报》本月早些时候曾报道，特朗普已选择由威尔伯.罗斯(Wilbur Ross)——亿万富翁投资者、已获商务部长提名——来负责其贸易政策，他将创建一个新的机构间机制，以减少美国贸易代表办公室(Office of the US Trade Representative)的影响力，该机构多年来负责谈判贸易协议。
　　The Trump team said the NTC would lead a Buy America, Hire America programme that would boost job creation in areas such as infrastructure10 and defence.
　　特朗普团队表示，国家贸易委员会将负责一个买美国、雇美国(Buy America, Hire America)计划，促进基础设施和国防等领域的就业机会。
　　It will work in tandem11 with three other offices in the White House: the National Security Council, the National Economic Council and the Domestic Policy Council.
　　它将与白宫其他三个机构相互合作，它们分别是：国家安全委员会(National Security Council)、国家经济委员会(National Economic Council)和国内政策委员会(Domestic Policy Council)。
　　They added that it would mark the first time there was an office dedicated12 to manufacturing inside the White House, in a strong signal that Mr Trump plans to follow through on the promises that he made on the campaign trail.
　　他们还表示，这标志着白宫内部首次有了一个专门负责制造业事务的办公室——强烈表明特朗普计划兑现竞选期间做出的承诺。
　　We were a great team during the campaign, and we will be a great team during the administration, said Mr Ross.
　　罗斯称：我们在竞选期间就是一个伟大的团队，在执政期间，我们依然会是一个伟大团队。
　　Mr Trump has moved quickly to name a cabinet and team of top advisers13 that leans heavily on people with business and military experience and that mostly eschews14 people with executive experience in Washington.
　　特朗普已快速完成对内阁成员和高级幕僚团队的任命，主要倚重拥有商业和军事经验的人士，基本上避开了华盛顿不少执政经验丰富的人士。
　　The move to create the new office is likely to be seen as controversial by mainstream15 economists16, many in the business community and pro-trade Republicans.
　　在主流经济学家、许多商界人士以及支持贸易的共和党人士看来，新设国家贸易委员会的举措很可能具有争议性。
　　Targeting the trade deficit is seen by many economists as likely to lead to protectionist trade policies.
　　许多经济学家认为，把缩小贸易逆差当作目标很可能导致贸易保护主义政策。
　　It may also be complicated by Mr Trump’s plans for an increase in spending and rising interest rates, both of which have already yielded a surge in the dollar that is likely to make US exports less competitive and would normally lead to a bigger trade deficit.
　　特朗普增加开支的计划和利率升高可能还会令当前局势复杂化，这两个因素已经导致美元大幅升值，这恐将削弱美国的出口竞争力，通常会导致更大的贸易逆差。
　　Mr Navarro and Mr Ross were credited with filling out Mr Trump’s economic plan, most notably17 in a white paper, which called for a focus on reducing the US trade deficit and boosting manufacturing, arguing both would help restore economic growth to a historical average of around 3.5 per cent per year.
　　特朗普的经济计划主要是由纳瓦罗和罗斯起草的，该计划呼吁着重于减少美国贸易逆差和振兴制造业，称这两者将有助于美国经济增速恢复至3.5%左右的历史平均水平。
　　The transition team said Mr Navarro, who teaches at the University of California-Irvine, would be advising the incoming president on innovative18 strategies in trade negotiations19 and working with other agencies on ways to bolder US manufacturing.
　　特朗普的过渡团队表示，目前在加州大学欧文分校(University of California-Irvine)执教的纳瓦罗将在贸易谈判的创新策略方面为即将上任的特朗普总统提供建议，并与其他部门合作共同提振美国制造业。
