这笑话闹大了!安倍送特朗普的球杆竟属中国公司!

The gift offered by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump during their recent meeting was made by a branch of a Chinese company in Japan, Japanese media reported.

据日本媒体报道，在近期的一次会晤中，日本首相安倍晋三送给美国总统当选人唐纳德·特朗普的礼物是由中国一家公司的日本分公司制造的。

As the first foreign leader to meet Trump since the election, Abe presented Trump with a golden golf club to reinforce mutual trust.

自大选以来，首位与特朗普会晤的外国领导人安倍向特朗普赠送了一个金色的高尔夫球杆以增强互信。

However, the club was manufactured by a company that, while originally Japanese, has since been acquired by a Chinese enterprise.

然而，该球杆是一家起初为日企、现已被中国企业收购的公司制造的。

Honma Golf Ltd. was acquired in 2010 due to operational hardships.

由于经营困难，本间高尔夫有限公司于2010年被收购。

Tomoo Marukawa, a professor at the University of Tokyo, argued that this fact could actually give the present more significance.

不过东京大学一名名叫友男丸川的教授却认为，这件事情能够赋予礼物更多的重要性。

By offering a gift that represents globalization to a man who encourages protectionism, the golf club could be viewed as a concealed warning from Japan.

通过赠送一件代表全球化的礼物给一个鼓励贸易保护主义的人，高尔夫球杆可被视为日本的一个暗号。

Sports Hochi, a Japanese news site, commented wryly that the gift had clearly faciliated communication, since the scheduled 45-minute meeting continued for 90 minutes.

日本新闻网站《体育报知》对此事挖苦地评论道，这件礼物明显促进了交流，因为预定45分钟的会晤延长到了90分钟。
