The New American Normal
By ROGER COHEN
Published: September 27, 2010
On a weeklong visit, I found a mood of deep unease in an America that seems to have descended into tribalism — not ethnic, but political, economic and social. Uncertainty is pervasive. The government’s rescue of Wall Street combined with the acute difficulties of a middle class struggling to get by on stagnant or falling incomes has sharpened resentments.
美国陷入了部落主义(tribalism),政府救了华尔街,而置情况糟糕的中产阶级于不顾。
It’s not crazy. Ending the tax cuts for the rich is a minimum signal for a divided land, a statement that the two Americas are acquainted with each other. But with Obama facing a stinging midterm defeat, it looks like a long shot. What is needed above all is some clarity and sense of direction — the kind Cameron has given in London and booming China consistently applies.
美国贫富之间的对立越来越严重了。“美国需要像英国和中国一样,有一个长远的规划。”
