【双语】外交部例行记者会（2016年4月20日）-学员的学习笔记

原文：所谓南海紧张完全是美、菲出于各自政治目的联手上演的一出双簧。每年通过南海地区的10多万艘各国船只平安依旧，唯一不同的是美国的军机军舰在南海出动得更频密更高调了。就在前天，美驻菲律宾大使还表示将向菲提供侦察飞艇和价值4200万美元的军事设备。事实证明，如果南海紧张，美国才是最大的推手。指责南海紧张是由中国的强硬行动造成的，这完全是颠倒黑白，混淆是非。

译文：The so-called tense situation in the South China Sea is a drama jointlystaged by the US and the Philippines for their own political motives. 100,000-plus vessels from different countries pass through the South China Sea every year, safe and sound without encountering any problems. What stands out is the more frequent and high-profile appearances of US military jets and vessels. Just the day before yesterday, the US Ambassador to the Philippines assured the Philippines of an observation blimp and 42 million US dollars’ worth of military equipment. The fact is that if the situation in the South China Seagets tense, then the US is the biggest pusher behind it. Blaming the tense situation in the South China Sea on China getting aggressive is calling white black and confusing right and wrong.

原文：至于南海仲裁案，中方已多次指出，菲律宾单方面提起南海仲裁案的实质和目的是企图全面否定中国对南沙群岛的领土主权，显然有幕后指使和政治操作。对于这样一场走了调、变了味的的所谓仲裁，就像王毅部长在“两会”记者会上所说，中方当然恕不奉陪。
