The men said the meeting was a "very positive step toward unification."

两人表示此次会议对团结协作具有十分积极的意义。

Ryan, an important leader of the Republican Party, had said last week that he was “not ready” to endorse Trump. But now he seems more willing to work with Trump.

瑞安是共和党一重要领袖，他上周还表示并没有准备接受特朗普。但现在看来，他似乎很愿意和特朗普一起工作。

​Many Republicans expressed their concerns as Trump moved closer to being the party’s presidential nominee. They said his campaign does not represent traditional Republican points of view.

许多共和党人都曾表达过他们对特朗普一天天走向共和党总统大选提名者的担忧。他们表示特朗普并不代表共和党传统的观点。

他还经常在演讲和辩论中对其他竞选者发表侮辱性言论，其中包括泰德·克鲁兹，约翰·卡西奇和马克罗·鲁比奥。

Ryan said it was “one of the most divisive primaries in memory.”

瑞安说那是印象中最具矛盾的初选。

After the 45-minute meeting, Ryan called his time with Trump “encouraging” and “productive.”

45分钟的会议过后，瑞安称此次与特朗普的会议“鼓舞人心”且“富有成效”。

Both Trump and Ryan said they needed to find common ground. But it would be normal for them to have different policy ideas.

特朗普和我瑞安都表示他们需要找到共同点。但是两人的政治主张不同很正常。

Trump also met Thursday with other Republican leaders in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
