赵立坚：俄罗斯的猫、狗、树都要被制裁，《天鹅湖》又何罪之有？

3月17日，外交部发言人赵立坚掌管例行记者会。有记者就中方在俄乌抵触中的立场实行发问。

凤凰卫视记者：中方不断强调在俄乌抵触中坚持中立，但有评论以为随着局势开展，中方立场越来越“不舒适”，堕入为难。你对此有何回应？

对此，赵立坚表示，我们已然屡次就乌克兰的问题论述中方的立场。诚实说，中方的立场确实同少数国度的立场不一样，中国的立场光明磊落、公正客观，无可厚非。

I have elaborated on Chinas position on the Ukraine issue many times. Unlike that of a few countries, Chinas position is aboveboard, objective, fair and beyond reproach.

赵立坚称，说到“不舒适”，真正感到“不舒适”的是那些自以为博得冷战能够独霸天下的国度，是那些忽视他国关切持续五轮推进北约东扩的国度，是那些四处对外发起战争却又责备别国好战的国度。

Speaking of "uncomfortable", it is those countries that delude themselves into thinking that they can lord it over the world after winning the Cold War, those that keep driving NATOs eastward expansion five times in disregard of other countries security concerns, and those that wage wars across the globe while accusing other countries of being belligerent, that should really feel "uncomfortable".

赵立坚还称，我听说连俄罗斯的猫、俄罗斯的狗、俄罗斯的树都要被制裁，我还听说柴可夫斯基的《天鹅湖》也被禁演。柴可夫斯基是著名作曲家，他已然逝世100多年，他又何罪之有呢？《天鹅湖》是世界舞蹈艺术佳作，《天鹅湖》又何罪之有呢？

I learned that cats, dogs and trees in Russia will be sanctioned. I also heard that Tchaikovskys Swan Lake is axed. But Tchaikovsky was a famous composer, who died over 100 years ago. What faults can be found with him or his Swan Lake, a timeless masterpiece of ballet?
