UAE pulls out of Eurofighter deal

阿联酋取消采购欧洲战机的交易

Aircraft manufacturer BAE Systems says the United Arab Emirates has pulled out of a deal to buy Eurofighter aircraft.
飞机制造商英国航太公司（或英国宇航系统公司）称阿拉伯联合酋长国已经取消了一项采购欧洲战机的交易。

The Gulf state had been in talks with the company and the UK government to buy 60 Typhoon jets.
这个海湾国家曾就采购60架台风战斗机事项与BAE和英国政府进行磋商。

The union convenor at the firm's Warton factory in Lancashire said it was "very disappointing news to get before Christmas".
BAE位于兰卡郡的沃顿工厂负责人称，这是一条“圣诞节前让人沮丧的消息”。

But a government spokesman said it was a "commercial decision" and that it was "always going to be a difficult deal".
但一位政府发言人称，这只是一个“商业决定”。战机交易（的达成）通常并非一帆风顺。

"As BAE have said, it was an exciting prospect but not part of their business plan," they added.
“正如BAE所言，战机交易前景总是光明的，但战机交易并未包含在公司商业项目之内”，他们补充道。

'Game changer'
游戏改变者

In a statement BAE Systems said: "The UAE have advised that they have elected not to proceed with these proposals at this time."
英国航太公司在一份声明中称：“阿联酋已通知BEA，阿方目前将不再执行（采购战机）的方案。”

A spokesman added that the collapse of the deal would not have an impact on jobs at the firm's Warton factory.
一位发言人补充说，本笔交易撤销将不会对沃顿工厂的工人就业产生影响。

Phil Entwhistle, from the factory's Unite union branch, said the deal would have been a "game changer" in terms of recruitment and the long term future of the factory.
这家工厂在英国分部的菲尔‧安特威斯托说，对于工厂提供的就业岗位和工厂远景而言，这笔战机交易将只扮演“游戏改变者”的身份。

"Having said that, there's no threat to jobs in the short or medium term," he added.
“我曾说过，（这笔交易的取消）中短期内不会造成工厂工人失业”，他补充道。

"This deal wasn't yet part of the company's business plan so we won't be seeing people losing their jobs, certainly for the next three years or so."
“该笔交易并非公司商业计划的一部分，因而在未来三年左右，我们一定不会看到有人会因此失业。”

Last year, BAE systems lost out on a deal to supply 126 Typhoon jets to India.
去年，英国航太公司在印度招标126架先进战机的交易中出局。
