《制高点》第61章


VICENTE FOX: Mexico has been one of the losers of the 20th century。 We tried many different alternatives to development; and unfortunately we have 40 percent of the population poor; we have a per capita ine that is extremely low。 It is the same per capita ine we had 25 years ago; so we must change things。
VICENTE FOX:墨西哥是20世纪的失败者。我们虽然尝试了各种办法来发展经济,但不幸的是我们仍然有40%的贫困人口,以及极低的人均国民收入。
NARRATOR: Presidents Bush and Fox hoped to expand the North American Free Trade Agreement to the entire Western Hemisphere。
旁白:布什总统和Fox希望把北美自由贸易协定扩展到整个西半球。
VICENTE FOX: Now we want to go further。 I"m taking about a NAFTAplus; a NAFTA that takes us to a further integration。 I"ve been talking this with President Bush; and fortunately he"s seeing it the same way。
VICENTE FOX:现在我们希望能走得更远。我在谈论一个扩张的NAFTA,一个能让我们联系的更紧密的NAFTA。我已经跟布什总统讨论过此事,幸运的是我们有共同的看法。
NARRATOR: But as his foreign minister; Fox chose a leading voice of the left: a onetime friend of Fidel Castro; and critic of global capitalism。
旁白:但是Fox选择了一位左翼的领袖做他的外交部长——他过去的朋友Fidel Castro,一位全球资本主义的批评家。
JE CASTANEDA: The left"s main issue since the middle of the 19th century has been inequality that acpanies capitalism。 There is probably more inequality pressing against society today than before within rich countries; within poor countries; and between rich countries and poor countries。 So on this score; for example; the left has more of a cause; more of a raison d"etre; than perhaps in any time recently。
JE CASTANEDA:自从19世纪中叶以来,左派的主要任务就是反对伴随资本主义而产生的不平等现象。在富裕国家之间、贫困国家之间、以及贫富国家之间,社会也许比以前存在着更多的不平等。因此从这方面来说,左翼近期有更多的动机和政治理由。

NARRATOR: Presidents Fox and Bush were set to meet again in Quebec City at a summit for 34 democratically elected presidents from North and South America。 Antiglobalization activists made the summit their next target。
旁白:Fox总统和布什总统计划在魁北克市举行由34个民主选举总统参加的南、北美国家的首脑高峰会上再次进行会晤。反对全球化的激进分子将这次会晤当成他们的下一个目标。
ACTIVIST: No matter what anybody says; there"s going to be some kind of property destruction。
激进份子:不管怎么说,将造成财产损失。
ACTIVIST: So far the way the debate has been played out is violence; nonviolence。 But for me that"s not the issue。 Our goal is to disrupt the summit as best we can with the largest possible mobilization on the 20th and 21st。
激进份子:现在争论的是暴力还是非暴力。但是对我来说,那不是问题的核心。我们的目标是破坏高峰会,最好是进行一次20世纪和21世纪的最大可能的动员。

银幕上的标题:美洲高峰论坛,2001年4月
NARRATOR: The summit"s agenda was to be trade; poverty; and the new rules of the game。 anizers sealed off the city center。 As President Bush and other leaders arrived; the demonstrators tried to break through。 Inside the barricades; Mexico"s foreign minister was now a part of the system he"d once criticized。
旁白:高峰会的日程是讨论贸易、财产权以及新的游戏规则。组织者封闭了市中心。当布什总统和其他的领导们到来的时候,示威者试图冲破封锁。在路障后面,墨西哥的外长现在是他曾经批评的系统的一部分。
JE CASTANEDA: They never mention the Americans。 They said; ";We need leeway to show that we can get results;"; and that"s true。
JE CASTANEDA:他们从来不提及美国人。他们说,“我们需要努力显示我们能达成一致”,那是对的。
This is my first big summit as foreign minister; and it"s fun。 Everybody"s here。
这是我作为外交部长参加的第一次高峰会,这很有趣。每个人都在这。
INTERVIEWER: If you were 25 today; where would you be?
采访者:如果你今年25岁,你将站在哪一边?
JE CASTANEDA: On the streets。 I would think that"s certainly a hell of a lot more fun。
JE CASTANEDA:站在街上,我想那将是一次很愉快的狂欢。
NARRATOR: Like Je Castaneda; most of the delegates were from developing countries that had embraced globalization。 Casteneda wanted more trade。 He also hoped to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor of the developing world。
旁白:同Je Castaneda一样,大多数的代表来自于发展中国家,他们欢迎全球化。Castaneda想要更多的贸易。他同时希望缩小富裕国家和贫穷的发展中国家之间的差距。
JE CASTANEDA: The issue that"s been ing up constantly in the speeches is that the small countries; the poorer sectors of each society need a special deal; that they cannot just be left out; because if they are; they"ll never be brought in。 There is; I would say; a growing consensus on that; but there isn"t necessarily a consensus on what to do。
JE CASTANEDA:在发言中常常提到的是小国和社会的贫困人群需要特殊的分配,我们不能遗弃他们,因为如果他们被遗弃,他们将永远无法加入主流社会中来。我应当承认,越来越多的人同意这个观点,但人们对如何去做没有一致的意见。
GEE W。 BUSH: I"m here to learn and to listen from voices; to those inside this hall and to those outside this hall who want to join us in constructive dialogue。
布什:我到这里来是为了学习和倾听,不仅是这个大厅里的声音,同时也包括大厅外面那些想加入建设性对话的人的声音。
NARRATOR: By now; the street demonstrations had bee a routine feature of major international meetings。 Protest anizers were increasingly sophisticated; using the Internet and other ";tools of globalization"; to try to bring the system down。
NARRATOR:现在,街头的游行示威是主要国际会议的常规景象。抗议组织更加地老练,他们使用互联网和其它国际化的工具来试图破坏这些会议。
GRETCHEN KING: So we travel around the country; and we set up these Web streams wherever there"s a minor or a major demonstration。 Wherever people want this to be set up; we"ll help them。 If we can provide alternatives; if we can provide criticisms that e from the streets and represent a diversity of people; then I think there"s a possibility of success。 And that success would be; you know; burning the freetrade agreement of the Americas; that success would be disbanding the WTO; that success would be removing the power from the top one
