翻譯公司帶你學(xué)雙語知識(shí)：“強(qiáng)權(quán)政治”怎么說

“二人同心，其利斷金”，這是法國(guó)總統(tǒng)希拉克北大演講時(shí)援引的一句中國(guó)古話。10月26日，正在中國(guó)訪問的法國(guó)總統(tǒng)希拉克走上北大講臺(tái)發(fā)表演講。希拉克在演講中提到，面對(duì)國(guó)際恐怖主義、強(qiáng)權(quán)政治，中法兩國(guó)應(yīng)齊心協(xié)力，承擔(dān)起建筑和諧有序國(guó)際新秩序的國(guó)際責(zé)任。

請(qǐng)看《中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)》相關(guān)報(bào)道："Facing terrorism, power politics, cultural conflicts and growing nationalism, we need unification instead of confrontation," he said.

"If two persons are of one heart, they are strong enough to break metal," said Chirac, quoting a famous Chinese saying to call for unity between China and his country.

報(bào)道中的“power politics”是固定搭配，指“經(jīng)濟(jì)或軍事強(qiáng)國(guó)在國(guó)際交往中所使用的‘威脅’性外交手段”，也就是我們漢語中的“強(qiáng)權(quán)政治”或“強(qiáng)權(quán)外交”。看例句：Hegemonies and power politics continue to be the main source of threat to world peace and stability.（霸權(quán)主義和強(qiáng)權(quán)政治仍然是威脅世界和平與穩(wěn)定的主要根源。）

值得一提的是，power politics做主語時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞單復(fù)數(shù)均可，不過更常用單數(shù)形式。
