瑞典外交大臣抨击俄罗斯威胁北约 http://goo.gl/iHXXrl 瑞典地方报 2015年9月17日
Swedish minister slams Russian Nato 'threats'
瑞典外相玛戈特·瓦尔斯特伦会见了俄罗斯驻瑞典大使，要求其对北欧诸国一旦加入北约
所可能面临的军事行动表明意见。她在会后表示瑞俄两国的关系“更加严寒”。
Foreign Minister Margot Wallström said relations between Sweden and Russia
are “chillier than ever” after she met with the country's ambassador in
Stockholm to ask him to explain comments that the Nordic country would likely
face military action if it were to join Nato.
瓦氏此一评论是在与俄国大使维克多·塔塔林采夫见面后所发表，两人在会晤中讨论到一
周前俄罗斯外交部发言人语带威胁的声明。
Wallström's comments came following a meeting with Russia's ambassador to
Sweden, Viktor Tatarintsev, to discuss what appeared to be a veiled threat
made by a Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman a week ago.
玛丽亚·扎哈诺娃（俄外交部发言人）在9月10日莫斯科的记者会上称“瑞典成为北约会
员国将招致军政及外交政策上的后果，俄罗斯方面也需采取报复措施”。
“Swedish membership in Nato would have politico-military and foreign policy
consequences, and would require retaliatory measures from Russia,” said
Maria Zakharova at a briefing in Moscow on September 10th.
在这次争议性声明的三个月前，俄国驻节斯德哥尔摩的最高外交官亦曾说瑞典“只要保
持中立，就不会变成俄军的目标，但若加入北约，他的国家将诉诸‘反制措施’”。
The controversial statement followed three months after Russia's top diplomat
in Stockholm said that Sweden “was not a target for Russia's armed troops”
as long as it remained neutral, but that if it were to join Nato then his
country would adopt “counter measures”.
本周四时，瓦尔斯特伦透露自己和塔塔林采夫一起讨论扎哈诺娃的发言。虽然她并未说
明会面中详细情形，但承认她传达了严辞批评。
On Thursday Wallström revealed she had met with Tatarintsev to discuss the
comments made by Zakharova. She declined to elaborate on what was said at the
meeting, but admitted that she had issued sharp criticism.
大臣在周四对瑞典《快报》表示“我们希望能就俄罗斯外交部声明一事得到解释，同时
想清楚表明瑞典自己的外交安全政策自己订，我们也不接受任何人透过威胁、以在今次
问题或其他问题上影响我方的企图。”此外还说“我方已经传达了明确的讯息，俄国的
威胁是不可接受的。”
“We wanted an explanation of the Russian Foreign Ministry's statement. We
also wanted to establish that Sweden decides its own foreign and security
policies and that we do not accept attempts to, through threats, influence us
in this or other matters,” she told the Expressen tabloid on Thursday.
“We delivered a clear message. Threats from Russia are unacceptable,” the
minister added.
在周一的大型民调中，41%的瑞典人认为该国应该加入北约，另39%则持反对意见，这显
示了公众舆论的迅速转变。五月的类似调查内有31%的受访者支持加入。
A total of 41 percent of Swedes think the country should join Nato while 39
percent remain against it, a major poll suggested on Monday, indicating a
rapid shift in public opinion. A similar survey in May stated that 31 percent
of respondents were for Nato membership.
支持率的增加肇因于北欧诸国对俄罗斯侵略潜势所生的恐惧。瑞典国安局表示2014年度
对瑞典最大的情报威胁来自其东方邻国。
The increased support is largely credited to a rising fear in the Nordic
country of a potentially aggressive Russia. Sweden’s security service Säpo
has said that the biggest intelligence threat against Sweden in 2014 came
from its eastern neighbour.
由社民党及绿党组成的中间偏左执政联盟向来反对瑞典进入北约，但在去年已有迹象表
明，这个斯堪地那维亚国度日益偏向于加入防卫同盟。
Sweden's ruling centre-left coalition – made up of the Social Democrats and
the Green Party – is historically against Nato membership. However, there
have been indications in the past year that the Scandinavian nation is moving
closer to joining the defence alliance.
今年四月，瑞典、挪威、丹麦、芬兰和冰岛公告了拓展彼此间军事合作的长程计画，当
时瑞典国防大臣彼得·胡尔特奎斯和北欧各国防长称此举是“对俄国进犯行为的直接反
应”。
In April, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland announced far-reaching
plans to extend their military cooperation. The move was “a direct response
to aggressive Russian behaviour”, said Sweden's defence minister Peter
Hultqvist and his Nordic counterparts at the time.
虽然瑞典打算在翌年替其三军挹注102亿克朗，但俄国军事活动在波罗的海地区增强之后
，瑞典的国防能力便受到质疑。
Although Sweden is set to invest 10.2 billion kronor into its armed forces in
the coming year, the country's defence capabilities have been questioned
following increasing military activity from Russia in the Baltic region.
2014年10月，在首都圈外的瑞典领海侦测到一艘潜艇，虽遭疑为俄方舰艇、但未能证实
，去年尚有数架俄机接近瑞典领空。
In October 2014, a foreign submarine – suspected to be from Russia, although
this was never confirmed – was spotted in Swedish waters just outside
Stockholm. A number of Russian planes have also been spotted in or close to
Swedish airspace over the past year.
