CNN News: 北美自由貿易協定重新談判正式開啟

Leaders from the U.S., Canada and Mexico huddled in Washington, D.C. yesterday. It was the official beginning of an effort to renegotiate NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement. This is a trade deal between the three countries. It went into effect in 1994. Renegotiating NAFTA is something that Donald Trump promised to do while he was campaigning to become U.S. president.
昨天，美國、加拿大和墨西哥三國領導人齊聚華盛頓特區(qū)。這表明北美自由貿易協定(NAFTA)重新談判正式開啟。北美自由貿易協定是美國、加拿大和墨西哥三國簽訂的貿易協定。它于1994年生效。重新談判北美自貿協定是唐納德•特朗普在競選美國總統(tǒng)期間做出的承諾。
A Mexican government official said the goal is to make the agreement work better. A Canadian official said her country wants to protect NAFTA's record of creating jobs and economic growth. A U.S. official said that while NAFTA has benefitted many Americans such as farmers, it's failed for countless others with at least 700,000 American jobs lost because of NAFTA.
一名墨西哥官員表示，重新談判的目標是使該協定更好地發(fā)揮作用。一名加拿大官員表示，該國希望保護北美自貿協定創(chuàng)造就業(yè)和促進經濟增長的記錄。一名美國官員表示，雖然北美自貿協定使得諸如農民等眾多美國民眾受益，但是該協定未能惠及其他無數民眾——至少70萬美國人因北美自貿協定失去就業(yè)機會。
All this gives an indication of the deal's mixed results.
所有這些言論都顯示出該協定的好壞參半。
