　　Senator John McCain, a former Republican presidential candidate who sees the UK asAmerica’s most important military partner, said he was reluctant to comment on anothercountry’s internal affairs . “But I don’t see how it could be helpful, not just as far asintelligence ties are concerned, but to the unique military relationship as well.”

　　曾经是共和党总统候选人的参议员约翰•麦凯恩(John McCain)将英国视为美国最重要的军事盟友。他表示，他不太愿意对另一个国家的内部事务发表评论，“但我看不出它怎么可能是有益的，无论是对情报关系还是对独一无二的军事关系而言。”

　　Mr Greenspan, former chairman of the US Federal Reserve, said the economic consequences ofindependence would be “surprisingly negative for Scotland, more so than the nationalistparty is in any way communicating”.

　　美联储(Fed)前主席格林斯潘表示，独立的经济后果“对苏格兰将出奇负面，超过苏格兰民族党目前所表达的程度”。

　　Despite nationalist claims to the contrary, he said there was no chance of London’s agreeing toa currency union. Differing fiscal policies would also cause any Scottish attempt at using thepound regardless to “break apart very quickly. . . There’s no conceivable, credible way theBank of England is going to sit there as a lender of last resort to a new Scotland”.

　　尽管民族主义者发表相反的预测，但格林斯潘表示，伦敦绝无可能同意货币联盟。不同的财政政策也将造成苏格兰自作主张使用英镑的尝试“很快瓦解……没有一种可以想象的、可信的方式让英国央行(BoE)作为新苏格兰的最后贷款人。”

　　The US is worried that a Yes vote could increase the chances that the rest of the UK might voteto leave the EU, which US officials believe would make Britain a much less potent partner. “That is our nightmare – Scottish independence followed by a British exit from the EU,” saida senior administration official.

　　美国担心，苏格兰独立的公投结果将增加英国其余部分投票退出欧盟的几率，美国官员认为，这将使英国成为一个不那么得力的合作伙伴。“那是我们的噩梦——苏格兰独立，接着英国退出欧盟，”奥巴马政府一名高级官员表示。

　　Josh Earnest, White House spokesman, said: “We have an interest in seeing the UK remainstrong, robust and united.”

　　白宫发言人乔希•欧内斯特(Josh Earnest)表示：“英国保持强大、有活力和统一符合我们的利益。”
