美國總統特朗普再次宣稱要建太空部隊

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

近日，美國總統唐納德·特朗普強調，想將太空軍事化並設立一支美國“太空部隊”。

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

特朗普在白宮接待西點軍校橄欖球隊時表示，希望將美國現有的五個軍事部門變爲六個。

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

他說道：“我們在太空的實力已經很大了，出於軍事考慮和其他原因，我們正認真考慮組建太空部隊。”

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，在向加利福尼亞州的軍隊講話時，特朗普也曾表示，太空“同陸地、空中和海洋一樣，都屬於作戰領域。”

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

這一科幻小說式的理念對部分國會成員頗具吸引力，但軍事領袖對此持更加保守的態度。

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

亞拉巴馬州共和黨員麥克·羅傑斯在他的個人網站上寫道：“我很高興看到太空部隊的想法在白宮獲得了推動。”

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

“未來的戰爭將在太空中展開，我們必須爲了自己的國家安全而勤奮努力，領先於其他國家。”
