加国危难之际，我庆幸马克·卡尼出任加国总理（观点-中英对照）

马克·卡尼的资历可谓非同凡响。他毕业于哈佛大学和牛津大学经济学，毕业后在金融领域施展才华，进入全球最负盛名的投资银行之一——高盛，并迅速晋升至高层。他在全球金融行业的成功本可以让他享受一生的财富和地位，但与其他履历光鲜的行业尖端人才不同，卡尼展现出对国家治理的热忱和执着追求。他并未止步于高端金融领域，而是毅然投身公众事业，在2008年全球金融危机来袭之际，担任加拿大央行（BoC）行长。面对经济动荡，他曾果断推行货币政策，对加拿大银行业施加重要影响，并凭借稳健的领导力，使加拿大几乎毫发无损地度过危机，避免了其他国家因银行倒闭和经济衰退而遭受的重创。

Mark Carney’s credentials are nothing short of remarkable. A Harvard and Oxford graduate in economics, Carney chose to apply his expertise in the private sector, rising through the ranks at Goldman Sachs, one of the most prestigious investment firms in the world. His success in the global finance industry could have secured him a lifetime of wealth, yet what set him apart from other well-credentialed technocrats was his enthusiasm and zealous pursuit of public governance. Rather than remaining in high finance, he transitioned to public service, serving as Governor of the Bank of Canada (BoC) just as the 2008 financial crisis threatened the global economy. His decisive monetary policies, strong influence over Canadian banks, and steady leadership ensured that Canada emerged from the crisis virtually unscathed, avoiding the devastating bank failures and recessions seen in other countries.

3月9日星期日，我与众多卡尼的支持者一起，欣慰地看到在自由党新党领选举中大获全胜，随之将成为加拿大的下一任总理。卡尼无以伦比的国际金融经验和对公众事业的热心将成为加国不可多得的领导人物。

On Sunday, March 9, I, along with many Carney supporters, was thrilled to witness his victory as the new leader of the Liberal Party. With this win, he is set to become Canada’s next Prime Minister, offering the country an unparalleled combination of global economic expertise and a commitment to public service.

才华横溢，资历丰厚的卡尼可谓任命于加国急需经济人才和领袖的危难之时。在过去几十年里，加拿大的政治阶层主要由职业政客主导，他们大多具有法律、社会运动或公共行政背景，但很少有人拥有全球市场、高风险金融谈判或危机管理的直接经验。历任总理在制定经济政策时，往往缺乏自身经验和能力因而不得不依赖资深官僚和经济顾问，而本身即为专家的卡尼是极少数不需要依靠二手信息的领导人物。经济动荡和前景不确定对卡尼来说是再熟悉不过了，当初英国脱欧时，作为英格兰行长的他曾带领英国度过脱欧过程中的重重险阻，进一步巩固了他作为能够承受政治和经济冲击的领导者的声誉。

Carney’s talent and experience come at a time when Canada is desperately in need of competent leadership. In recent decades, Canada’s political class has been dominated by career politicians with backgrounds in law, activism, or public administration—few with direct experience in global markets, high-stakes financial negotiations, or crisis management. While previous Prime Ministers have depended on bureaucrats and advisors to shape economic policy, Carney is one of the rare leaders who doesn’t need to rely on secondhand knowledge—he is the expert. His tenure at the Bank of England (BoE), where he successfully navigated Britain through the economic uncertainty of Brexit, further solidifies his reputation as a leader who can withstand political and economic shocks.

当前的加拿大正面临严峻的经济挑战，同时还要应对特朗普即将发动的新一轮贸易攻势。特朗普在竞选期间已经表态，他将重新实施严苛的关税政策，推行经济保护主义，并威胁废除《北美自由贸易协定》（NAFTA）。这些举措将对加拿大的产业造成沉重打击，进一步削弱本已陷入停滞的经济。近年来，加拿大的人均生产率增长缓慢，外国投资下降，而庞大的联邦财政赤字更是限制了政府采取有效应对措施的能力。在这一关键时刻，卡尼的领导力显得尤为重要。凭借他在全球贸易、货币政策和财政稳定方面的深厚经验，加拿大或许仍有机会在特朗普的经济攻势下奋力一搏，捍卫自身经济利益，并维护长期以来赖以发展的国际贸易体系。

Canada now stands at a crossroads, facing tremendous economic challenges, many of which stem from a looming trade war reignited by Donald Trump. Trump’s campaign rhetoric has already promised a return to harsh tariffs, economic isolationism, and threats to dismantle NAFTA—measures that could cripple Canadian industries. Meanwhile, Canada’s economy is stagnating, with low productivity growth, declining foreign investment, and a massive federal deficit that limits the government’s ability to respond effectively. Carney’s leadership could not come at a more crucial time. His deep knowledge of global trade, monetary policy, and fiscal stability gives Canada a fighting chance against Trump’s economic warfare.

然而，卡尼也面临着来自政敌的攻击，这些反对声浪试图削弱他在经济领域的贡献。然而某些批评并非空穴来风。比如，有些人对他在稳定银行业、协调紧急货币政策方面的关键作用视而不见，却认为加拿大在2008年金融危机中的稳定更多归功于强大的监管体系，而非卡尼的领导能力。他在英格兰银行行长任内对英国脱欧经济后果的警告，也被一些人认为夸大其辞， 尽管作为央行行长，他有责任为最坏的情况做好准备。更重要的是，卡尼缺乏直接的政治经验——他从未担任过民选公职，在党派斗争和政策博弈中尚未经过真正的考验。他一贯直言不讳、行事果断，这种风格虽然在金融领域行之有效，却常被解读为傲慢或缺乏耐心倾听反对意见，引发外界对他是否具备建立政治联盟能力的担忧。

Yet, Carney faces attacks from political opponents determined to downplay his contributions. His detractors argue that Canada’s resilience during the 2008 financial crisis was due more to its strong regulatory framework than his leadership, overlooking the crucial role he played in stabilizing the banking sector and coordinating emergency monetary policies. Likewise, some suggest that his warnings about Brexit’s economic fallout as Governor of the Bank of England were overstated, despite his responsibility to prepare for worst-case scenarios. More significantly, Carney lacks direct political experience—he has never held elected office and is untested in the partisan battles of governance. His blunt, no-nonsense style, while effective in finance, has been perceived as arrogance or a lack of patience for opposing views, raising concerns about his ability to build political alliances.

然而，将他的领导力归结为运气无疑忽视了他的真实成就, 卡尼是一位积极主动、具有战略眼光的决策者，在危机时期能成功引导金融机构渡过难关。如果他能够进一步磨练自己的政治直觉，那么就他无可匹敌的经济专业能力，使他成为当下加拿大最具能力的领导人之一，在金融经济动荡时刻发挥举足轻重的作用。我坚信，卡尼不仅会赢得即将到来的大选，更将带领加拿大战胜经济风暴，成功地应对特朗普的贸易政策，并利用他广泛的全球人脉，重振加拿大人的经济信心。

However, dismissing his leadership as luck ignores the reality of his accomplishments—he was an active, strategic decision-maker who guided financial institutions through crises. If he can sharpen his political instincts, his economic expertise remains unmatched, making him one of Canada’s most capable leaders in a time of financial uncertainty. I am confident that Carney will not only win the upcoming election but will lead Canada through the storm—outmaneuvering Trump’s trade policies, leveraging his global connections, and restoring Canadians’ economic confidence.
