US President Barack Obama has urged president-elect Donald Trump to “stand up to” Russia when it deviates from international “values and norms”, warning his successor against striking “convenient” deals with Russian president Vladimir Putin. 美国总统巴拉克?奥巴马(Barack Obama)已敦促新当选总统唐纳德?特朗普(Donald Trump)在俄罗斯偏离国际“价值观和准则”时“与之对抗”，并警告特朗普不要“图省事”与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔?普京(Vladimir Putin)达成协议。

   

Speaking in Germany at a press conference with chancellor Angela Merkel, Mr Obama said he hoped Mr Trump would not simply take “a realpolitik approach” and “cut deals with Russia, even if it hurts people”. 奥巴马是在德国和德国总理安格拉?默克尔(Angela Merkel)一同出席一个新闻发布会时发表这一言论的。他说，他希望特朗普不会简单化地采取“现实政治路线”，“就算在会伤害人的情况下，也和俄罗斯达成协议”。

   

His call came as he and Ms Merkel emphasised their support for liberal democracy, freedom and free trade and the importance of the transatlantic alliance. They were speaking during a three-day farewell visit by Mr Obama to Ms Merkel, which on Friday will include an informal summit with the government heads of the UK, France, Spain and Italy. 在发出这一呼吁的同时，奥巴马还和默克尔一道，强调他们对自由民主制、自由和自由贸易的支持，以及跨大西洋同盟的重要性。他们的讲话发生在奥巴马对默克尔为期三天的告别访问中。访问的议程将包括周五与英国、法国、西班牙及意大利政府首脑的一次非正式峰会。

   

Mr Obama also warned of the dangers of spreading cyber warfare, after what he said were Russian attacks on the US during the presidential election campaign. He said he had called Mr Putin and made clear there was a difference between intelligence gathering and “going after” targets. 奥巴马还就不断扩散的网络战的危险发出警告。此前，在美国总统选举期间曾发生过对美国的网络攻击，奥巴马称这轮攻击来自俄罗斯。奥巴马表示，他已和普京通过电话，明确表示情报收集和“打击”各种目标不是一回事。

   

He called for more international efforts so that “we don’t have a cyber arms race”. Expressing concern about the vulnerability of infrastructure, he said: “We must be careful that this does not become a lawless low-level battlefield.” 他呼吁国际社会采取更多努力，确保“我们不会开展网络军备竞赛”。在表达对基础设施易受攻击的担忧时，他表示：“我们必须小心确保这不会变成无法无天的低水平战场。”

   

Mr Obama addressed widespread concerns in the US and Europe about Mr Trump, including fears that the president-elect might reduce America’s engagement with the world. He said he was “cautiously optimistic” because the “responsibilities of office” and the “extraordinary demands” placed on it by Americans and “people around the world” forced a president “to focus”. 奥巴马提到欧美对特朗普的普遍担忧，包括对这位新当选总统可能降低美国全球介入的担忧。他说，他对此“谨慎乐观”，因为“总统职责”和美国人及“全球人民”对该职责的“极大要求”会迫使美国总统“集中注意力”。

   

Ms Merkel said she was approaching Mr Trump with “an open mind” and suggested that the atmosphere might change as the US was no longer in an election but in a post-election period. There was “an interest” in Europe and Germany “to co-operate well with the US?.?.?.?on the basis of shared values”. 默克尔表示她正以“开放态度”对待特朗普，并暗示风向也许会改变，因为美国不再处于大选期而进入了选后期。“在共同价值观基础上……与美国密切合作”符合欧洲和德国的“利益”。

   

She added that the planned TTIP transatlantic trade and investment agreement, opposed on both sides of the Atlantic, could not now be concluded but could return on to the agenda in future. 她还表示，计划中的跨大西洋贸易和投资伙伴协定(TTIP)目前还无法敲定下来，不过可能会在未来重新列入议程。TTIP在大西洋两岸都曾遭到反对。

   

Ms Merkel declined to confirm reports she is planning soon to announce that she will stand for a fourth term as chancellor in next year’s parliamentary election. 对于有关她计划不久后宣布在明年议会选举中竞选总理第四任期的报道，默克尔拒绝予以确认。

   

The US President joked that while he did not normally “meddle” in other countries’ politics, if he were German he would vote for Ms Merkel. 奥巴马开玩笑说，尽管他通常不会“干涉”别国政治，但如果他是德国人，他会把票投给默克尔。

   

German media have described his good-humoured visit as “the long goodbye”. As well as their private discussions the two leaders had dinner a deux on Wednesday and were due to attend a celebratory meal on Thursday attended by luminaries such as conductor Daniel Barenboim and German football star Jürgen Klinsmann, manager of the US national soccer team.

   

Mr Obama pledged to revisit Germany, pointing out that in six visits he had never been to Munich’s Oktoberfest beer festival.
