美国海军上将曾称“可以帮中国造航母” 是怎么回事

keating上将抵达中国后的第一站是北京,与很多解放军高级将领和领导见面,进入了著名的“八一大楼”,然后访问了南京军区,南京的军事院校和南京军区第179旅。然后回到国际饭店,与中国军事专家进行研讨。最后会见了解放军海军司令。就在这次与解放军海军的谈话中,他提到了中国建造航母的问题。事后keating上将接受美国媒体采访时,是这么说的:

An aircraft carrier from a country pulls into port, and it is an unmistakable demonstration of will and resolve。 And we had a very good conversation about that。 I do not have any better idea as to China’s intentions to develop, or not, a carrier program, but we had a very pleasant and candid exchange about the larger issues attendant to a carrier program。

当把一艘外国来买的航母(瓦良格)万里迢迢拖进自己港口,这无疑表明了非常坚定的意志和决心。因此我们就此(航空母舰)进行了非常好的交谈。关于中国是否要发展航母的问题,我们没有太多想法,但我们对航母工程带来的巨大挑战和问题进行了非常愉快和坦诚的交流。

In his discussion with Wu, Keating stressed the difficulty and complexity of developing, building and operating an aircraft carrier。 But at his news conference Saturday Keating said the United States would be willing to help if that is what China decides to do:

keating上将强调了研制、建造和运营航母的难度和复杂性。但在随后周六召开的新闻发布会上,keating上将说:如果中国决定这样做,美国可能愿意提供帮助。
