美国总统唐纳德·特朗普与丹麦首相梅特·弗雷德里克森签署了该协议 美国、丹麦和格陵兰岛签署了一项防务协议，允许华盛顿在北极地区建立两个新的军事基地，同时重申哥本哈根对其拥有主权。
At a signing ceremony at the UN General Assembly in New York, US President Donald Trump said "we will immediately begin the process of developing a large military presence in the appropriate locations".
在纽约联合国大会举行的签字仪式上，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示“我们将立即开始在适当地点建立大规模军事存在的进程”。
Danish PM Mette Frederiksen said the deal was "good for the US, Denmark and Greenland" and also for Europe and Nato, while Greenland's PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen said it was a "win-win-win".
丹麦首相梅特·弗雷德里克森表示，该协议“对美国、丹麦和格陵兰岛有利”，也对欧洲和北约有利，而格陵兰岛总理延斯-弗雷德里克·尼尔森表示，这是一个“三赢”。
The three leaders then inked the deal, seemingly ending more than a year of tension over the Arctic territory.
三位领导人随后签署了协议，似乎结束了一年多围绕北极领土的紧张局势。
Trump had threatened to "take" the semi-autonomous Arctic territory over what he said were national security concerns, citing its strategic defence location and its mineral wealth.
特朗普曾威胁要“占领”这片半自治的北极领土，理由是出于国家安全考虑，并援引了该地区的战略防御位置和矿产资源。
His rhetoric prompted outcry from Greenlanders, Danes and European leaders who issued a joint statement saying his words "undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral".
他的言论引起了格陵兰人、丹麦人和欧洲领导人的强烈抗议，他们发表了一份联合声明，称他的言论“破坏了跨大西洋关系，并可能导致危险的恶性循环”。
The deal signed on Tuesday amends and updates a 1951 defence agreement between Denmark and the US.
周二签署的协议修订并更新了丹麦和美国之间 1951 年的防务协议。
The new agreement says the US "shall be allowed to establish an additional Defence Area at Narsarsuaq and Mestersvig" - referring to locations in Greenland's south and east.
新协议称，美国“将被允许在纳沙苏瓦克和梅斯特维格建立额外的防御区”——指的是格陵兰岛南部和东部的地点。
Narsarsuaq has deep-water access and a large runway which US military engineers were surveying last week, according to Danish media.
据丹麦媒体报道，纳沙苏阿哥拥有深水通道和一条大型跑道，美国军事工程师上周正在勘测。
The Mestersvig outpost is remote, far less developed, and used by a Danish naval dog sled unit.
梅斯特斯维前哨基地地处偏远，开发程度较低，由丹麦海军狗拉雪橇部队使用。
The "modalities and technical details" of the bases are yet to be confirmed, and according to the deal, must be mutually agreed by all parties.
基地的“模式和技术细节”尚未确定，根据协议，必须得到各方共同同意。
Washington currently operates its Pituffik Space Base in Greenland's north-west, and the new deal allows the US to "modernise and expand its activities" there.
华盛顿目前在格陵兰岛西北部运营着皮图菲克太空基地，新协议允许美国在那里“现代化并扩大其活动”。
It also says that "no state that is not a member of Nato shall be allowed to establish its own manned or unmanned military installations in Greenland nor shall they be allowed a persistent presence of military forces in Greenland".
它还规定，“任何非北约成员国不得在格陵兰岛建立自己的有人或无人军事设施，也不得允许其在格陵兰岛持续驻扎军队”。
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Trump said: "We going to have a tremendous relationship, a secure relationship."
特朗普在签字仪式上表示：“我们将建立一种巨大的关系，一种安全的关系。”
"This is tremendous for Europe and for the United States, for everybody, and for Greenland it's going to be incredible."
“这对欧洲、美国、每个人来说都是巨大的，对格陵兰岛来说也是不可思议的。”
Meanwhile, Frederiksen described the signing of the deal as a "milestone in our long-standing co-operation".
与此同时，弗雷德里克森将协议的签署描述为“我们长期合作的里程碑”。
"Seventy-five years ago we entered into an agreement about the defence of Greenland.
“七十五年前，我们达成了一项关于格陵兰岛防御的协议。
Today, we're signing an even bigger and better agreement - a deal that can last forever." The Danish prime minister stressed that the agreement "respects sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark, as well as Greenland's right to self-determination".
今天，我们正在签署一项更大、更好的协议——一份可以永远持续的协议。” 丹麦首相强调，该协议“尊重丹麦王国的主权和领土完整，以及格陵兰岛的自决权”。
Jens-Frederik Nielsen said that "for Greenland, it is not only an agreement about us, it is [an] agreement with us.
Jens-Frederik Nielsen 表示：“对于格陵兰岛来说，这不仅是关于我们的协议，也是与我们之间的协议。
"It takes into account the people of Greenland, our rights, our livelihoods and the development of our country.
“它考虑到了格陵兰人民、我们的权利、我们的生计和我们国家的发展。
"Greenland matters for North American security and for transatlantic security," he said, adding that the Nato had a key role to play in the North Atlantic in a changing security situation.
他说：“格陵兰岛对北美安全和跨大西洋安全都很重要。”他补充说，在不断变化的安全局势中，北约在北大西洋发挥着关键作用。
The agreement also confirmed Greenland would remain in Nato if it were to gain independence from Denmark.
该协议还确认，如果格陵兰岛从丹麦获得独立，它将继续留在北约。
The 1951 agreement already allowed the US to send as many troops as it wanted to Greenland.
1951年的协议已经允许美国向格陵兰岛派遣任意数量的军队。
Washington already has more than 100 military personnel permanently stationed at its Pituffik base. Trump had tried for months to purchase or annex Greenland, arguing that it was vulnerable to adversaries, including Russia and China.
华盛顿已经有100多名军事人员永久驻扎在其皮图菲克基地。 几个月来，特朗普一直试图购买或吞并格陵兰岛，认为它很容易受到包括俄罗斯和中国在内的对手的攻击。
He argued the Arctic island was an essential piece of his plan to build a futuristic "Golden Dome" defence system to protect the US against missile attacks.
他认为，北极岛屿是他建立未来“金圆顶”防御系统以保护美国免受导弹袭击的计划的重要组成部分。
However the deal only mentions the project once, and contains no concrete proposal.
然而，该协议仅提及该项目一次，并没有包含具体建议。
The island has vast - and largely untapped - reserves of rare earth minerals, many of which are crucial for technologies including mobile phones and electric vehicles.
该岛拥有大量且大部分尚未开发的稀土矿储量，其中许多对移动电话和电动汽车等技术至关重要。
Trump said last week that the new deal came with "no cost to the United States".
特朗普上周表示，新协议“不会让美国付出任何代价”。
A Nato spokesperson said shortly afterwards that the military alliance welcomed the deal, which would "help advance security, stability and cooperation in this vital region".
北约发言人不久后表示，军事联盟欢迎这项协议，这将“有助于促进这一重要地区的安全、稳定与合作”。
