导读:美国总统特朗普与习近平主席会面后,在媒体采访中再次语出惊人,一句“韩国是中国一部分”引来轩然大波,也彻底惹恼了韩国民众。
South Korea has demanded Donald Trump correct his statement after saying Korea “used to be part of China” following his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
特朗普最近和中国主席习近平在佛罗里达州马尔拉格度假村的别墅进行了会晤,并在之后语出惊人,表示“韩国曾是中国的一部分”。韩国政府目前要求特朗普更正这一不恰当言论。
“It’s a clear fact acknowledged by the international community that, for thousands of years of history, Korea has never been part of China,” foreign ministry spokesman Cho June Hyuck told Bloomberg News on Thursday in Seoul.
韩国外交部发言人赵俊赫于本周四在首尔接受彭博采访时表示:“在数千年的中韩关系上,韩国并非中国的一部分,这是不容否认的历史,也是国际社会所公认的一点。”
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal on April 12, Trump said that President Jinping discussed the history of China and Korea.
在4月12日接受《华尔街日报》采访时,特朗普提到中国主席习近平曾就中韩两国历史进行了讨论。
“And you know, you’re talking about thousands of years … and many wars. And Korea actually used to be a part of China. And after listening for 10 minutes, I realized that not — it’s not so easy,” he recounted.
“你知道的,这涉及到上千年的历史以及许多场战争。而朝鲜曾经是中国的一部分,听了十分钟之后,我发现事情并没有那么简单。”特朗普回忆道。
According to Quartz, there are two times in history that the Korean Peninsula could be mistaken for being part of China.
据媒体Quartz报道,历史上曾经有两次误认为朝鲜半岛被并入中国。
One was during the Han Dynasty when China created four “commanderies” in the northern part of the peninsula.
一次是在汉朝,古代中国通过朝鲜半岛北部设立“郡”的制度。
Some Chinese historians argue that this makes Korea part of “Chinese local history.”
中国的一些历史学家试图争辩这一制度已经将韩国纳入了“中国地方历史”中。
The second moment was during the Mongol empire’s rule in the 13th century, which included both China and Korea.
第二次则是13世纪高丽国时期,蒙古人统治了中国和韩国。
But “even then, the Mongols controlled China more directly than Korea,” Kyung Moon Hwang, a history professor at the University of Southern California and author of “A History of Korea,” told Quartz.
南加州大学历史教授以及《韩国历史》的作者黄敏敬在接受媒体Quartz时则表示:“在那个时候,相对韩国来讲,蒙古人更直接地控制中国。”
“No respectable historian would make such a claim,” Hwang said regarding Korea previously being a part of China.
黄教授在谈到韩国先前隶属于中国这一话题时表示:“没有哪位德高望重的历史学家会提出这样的说法。”
