 　　President Donald Trump1 withdrew the United States from the 12-nation Pacific Rim2 trade deal on Monday as he started his first full week in office. At the White House, Trump called it a "great thing for the American worker - what we just did.”

　　美国总统川普星期一让美国退出了12国《跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》(TPP)。本星期是川普政府开始执政的第一个星期。川普在白宫表示，退出TPP“ 对美国工人是一件大好事。”
　　The new president, as past Republican chief executives have done, also signed an order reinstating a ban on providing government funds to international groups that perform abortions4 or provide information about the procedure. In addition, Trump, honoring a campaign pledge, froze hiring for many federal agencies as a way to reduce the cost of government and rein3 in its growth.
　　川普还像过去历任共和党总统那样签署命令，再次禁止政府向提供堕胎或提供有关堕胎信息的国际组织提供资金。此外，川普还兑现竞选承诺，下令冻结了许多政府机构的招聘，以减少政府开支和控制政府膨胀。
　　The trade deal, known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership5, had been negotiated since 2009 during former President Barack Obama's White House tenure6, but the U.S. Congress never ratified7 it, with numerous lawmakers opposed to or skeptical8 of the deal. It would have covered trade with Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Chile, Canada, Mexico and four other countries.
　　《跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》是奥巴马政府从2009年开始谈判的，但是美国国会一直没有批准，许多国会议员反对这项协定或持怀疑态度。协定的签署国还有日本、澳大利亚、新西兰、马拉西亚、智利、加拿大、墨西哥和另外四个国家。
　　White House spokesman Sean Spicer told reporters that as Trump "has said many times, this type of multinational9 agreement is not in our best interest, and he’s moving quickly to advance trade policies that increase the competitiveness of the American worker and manufacturer."
　　白宫发言人斯派塞说，川普“曾经多次表示这类的多国协定不符合美国利益，他正在迅速推动能够增强美国工人和制造业竞争力的贸易政策。”
　　Spicer said the new president would pursue bilateral10 trade agreements with individual countries throughout the world.
　　斯派塞说，川普总统将与世界各国进行双边贸易协定谈判。
　　The TPP would have been the biggest regional trade deal in history, covering nearly 40 percent of the world's economy and about a third of world trade. China didn't take part in the talks, but appears ready to step into the vacuum and create its own deals with Southeast Asian countries that would have been part of the 12-nation agreement.
　　《跨太平洋合作伙伴贸易协定》本将成为历史上最大的区域贸易协定，覆盖近40%的世界经济和约三分之一的国际贸易。中国没有参与谈判，但中国似乎已准备好利用目前的真空，与本应参与12个国《跨太平洋合作伙伴贸易协定》的东南亚国家制定自己的贸易协定。
