美国总统特朗普再次宣称要建太空部队

US President Donald Trump has underlined his desire to militarize space and introduce an American "space force."

近日，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普强调，想将太空军事化并设立一支美国“太空部队”。

Speaking at the White House while receiving the West Point football team, Trump said he wants America's five military branches to become six.

特朗普在白宫接待西点军校橄榄球队时表示，希望将美国现有的五个军事部门变为六个。

"We're getting very big in space, both militarily and for other reasons, and we are seriously thinking of the Space Force," he said.

他说道：“我们在太空的实力已经很大了，出于军事考虑和其他原因，我们正认真考虑组建太空部队。”

In March, Trump called space "a war-fighting domain, just like the land, air and sea," while speaking to troops in California.

今年3月，在向加利福尼亚州的军队讲话时，特朗普也曾表示，太空“同陆地、空中和海洋一样，都属于作战领域。”

The sci-fi concept gained traction with some members of Congress, but military leaders were more guarded on the prospect.

这一科幻小说式的理念对部分国会成员颇具吸引力，但军事领袖对此持更加保守的态度。

Alabama Republican Mike Rogers wrote on his personal website, "I am thrilled that the Space Corps idea is gaining traction at the White House."

亚拉巴马州共和党员麦克·罗杰斯在他的个人网站上写道：“我很高兴看到太空部队的想法在白宫获得了推动。”

"The future of war will be fought in space, and we must stay diligent and ahead of other countries for our own national security."

“未来的战争将在太空中展开，我们必须为了自己的国家安全而勤奋努力，领先于其他国家。”
