才參加「畢業旅行」歸來的陳總統，在以台灣為名加入聯合國的公民投票上，與美國公然出現摩擦。不但出訪過境的待遇大幅縮水，美國副國務卿也主動找鳳凰衛視放話，公開反對陳總統的政策。 今天在美國外國記者中心的一場不能用攝影機，但可以列入記錄的簡報上，白宮國安會亞太事務資深主任韋德寧已經把陳總統視為跛鴨。他建議為了降低台海緊張，北京領導人應該和下一位台灣選出的總統進行對話。換句話說，他已對陳總統沒有任何期待。而且，他還對布希總統在即將舉行的APEC領袖峰會上，會不會當胡錦濤的面，公開批判陳總統，預留了空間。
韋德寧今天在一場亞太經合組織領袖峰會的說明會上，有備而來的回答了陳總統的問題。其中透露出不但美國對陳總統不再有期待，他還要北京當局把力去花在後陳水扁時代的台灣領導人上。
他說：北京可以對在台灣合法選出的領導班子，做更多來接觸。我們希望，舉例說，台灣的選舉一旦結束，北京會做更多，來與那些領導人物接觸。
陳總統這次與美國鬧成這樣，布希總統會不會像四年前一樣，在白宮當著大陸國務院總理溫家寶的面，斥責陳總統？或是更強的反應？韋德寧沒有把話說死。
（布希）總統將會談論這個，我確定，與胡錦濤。他會解釋美國的立場。胡錦濤通常要美國對三公報，和我們在一個中國政策立場上的重新堅持，我確定（布希）總統將會願意給他這個。
Q:In the president's meeting with Hu Jintao, do you expect the issue of Taiwan to come up, specifically the issue of Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian's pushing for a national referendum on U.N. entry for Taiwan, and the reports that China might seek a resolution officially declaring Taiwan part of China in the U.N. eyes?
MR. WILDER:Well, I have almost never been in a meeting with Chinese officials that the subject of Taiwan didn't come up, so I think I can almost guarantee you that President Hu Jintao will certainly raise this topic with the president.
嗯，我從來沒有在一個與中方官員的會議中，台灣議題是沒有出現的。所以我想我幾乎可以向你保證，胡錦濤國家主席將必然會與（布希）總統提起這個議題。
As you probably noted earlier this week, Deputy Secretary Negroponte gave an interview in which he stated quite clearly the American position on the plans in Taiwan for a referendum and Taiwan's interest in applying to the United Nations.
就如你這星期稍早可能注意到的，副國務卿 Negroponte 給了個訪問，其中他很清楚的，就台灣的公民投票計畫和台灣有興趣申請聯合國，陳述美國的立場。
We are very supportive of Taiwan on many, many fronts. We have worked hard, for example, to make sure that they are treated appropriately in APEC as an organization, in the World Health Organization and many other international organizations.However, membership in the United Nations requires statehood.Taiwan or the Republic of China is not at this point a state in the international community.The position of the United States government is that the ROC, Republic of China, is an issue undecided, and it has been left undecided, as you know, for many, many years.
我們在很多，很多方面非常支持台灣。例如說，我們努力的做，以確定他們在亞太經合組織�，世界衛生組織�，和其它許多國際組織裡，被適當的對待。但是，聯合國的會員需要是個國家，台灣或中華民國在目前的國際社會裡目前並不是個國家。美國政府的立場是ROC，中華民國，是個沒有決定的問題，而且如你所知，他是個很多，很多年都被放著沒有解決的。
So we find the attempt by the DPP party in Taiwan to call for a referendum of this subject a little be perplexing as to why this would be useful, given the fact that Taiwan is not going to be able to join the United Nations under current circumstances and that it only adds a degree of tension to cross-straits relations that we deem unnecessary.
所以我們對台灣的民進黨試圖就這個議題呼籲要個公民投票，覺得有點迷惘。當台灣在現在情況下，將不會能加入聯合國是個事實時，為什麼這會有用？況且這只會在海峽關係上，增加我們認定沒有必要的緊張度？
So the president will talk about this, I'm sure, with Hu Jintao.He'll explain the American position.Hu Jintao usually wants a recommitment by the United States to free communiques and to our standing One China Policy.I'm sure the president will be willing to give him that.
所以（布希）總統將會談論這個，我確定，與胡錦濤。他會解釋美國的立場。胡錦濤通常要美國對三公報，和我們在一個中國政策立場上的重新堅持，我確定（布希）總統將會願意給他這個。
But we also, I should stress, want the Chinese to do things to lower the tensions on the straits. There has been a large-scale, for example, Chinese military build-up opposite Taiwan, and that is worrisome.And we certainly do not want to see any situation in which Beijing would consider the use of force or the threat of force against Taiwan.We also think that Beijing could do more to reach out to the duly elected leaders in Taiwan. We're hopeful, for example, that once elections take place in Taiwan, that Beijing will do more to reach out to those leaders.
但我們也，我應該強調，希望中方做些事來降低海峽緊張。舉例說，中方面對台灣有大規模的軍事建構，而這令人擔心。而我們當然不想看到任何狀況，北京會考慮使用武力，或對台灣威脅用武。我們也認為，北京可以對在台灣合法選出的領導班子，做更多來接觸。我們希望，舉例說，台灣的選舉一旦結束，北京會做更多，來與那些領導人物接觸。
So there are things that Beijing could be doing to ease the tensions as well, and I'm sure the president will be talking to President Hu about that.
所以有些事也是北京做了可以鬆弛緊張的，而且我確定（布希）總統將與胡國家主席談這個。
