看上去有些无厘头?其实最近马克龙和博索纳罗的“交锋”是有背景因素的,主要还是围绕着这一段时间以来的亚马孙大火。
在上周,博索纳罗就因为马克龙的一番言论大为光火,马克龙当时表示,亚马孙雨林的大火属于“国际危机”。
It comes after Macron angered Bolsonaro last week by calling the wildfires blazing in the Amazon rainforest an "international crisis".
博索纳罗则认为这样的说法“是殖民主义思想,在21世纪非常不合适。”
Bolsonaro said the idea was "reminiscent of [a] colonial mindset [that was] inappropriate in the 21st century."
本周一,马克龙宣布了一项2000万美元援助,旨在帮助受火灾影响的亚马孙区域国家。他补充道,大火破坏了“地球之肺”,法国有可能会提出军事上的支持。
On Monday, Macron announced a $20 million emergency fund to help Amazon countries affected by the rainforest fires. He added that the wildfires were damaging the "most important lungs of the planet" and that France would provide military support.
博索纳罗则再度“开炮”,控诉马克龙“对亚马孙不切实际的无端攻击。”
Bolsonaro launched another tirade against Macron on Monday, accusing the French president of unleashing "unreasonable and gratuitous attacks on the Amazon."
不过,有关亚马孙的话题并没有完……事情出现了转折。
