]Atlantic: How America Can Rise Again[/URL]
Author: James Fallows
January/ February 2010
目录是:
1) One Reason Not to Worry: We Have Been Here Before
2) Another Reason Not to Worry: The Irrelevance of “Falling Behind”
3) The Crucial American Advantage
4) The Main Concerns: ( jobs, debt, military strength, and overall independence.)这里的concern 都谈到了中国,特别是军事。
5) The Biggest Problem. 作者谈到了政府,需要政府转型:America needed “a government as good as its people.”
6) What Is To Be Done?(America is not going to have a Communist revolution nor endure “100 Years of Humiliation,” as Imperial China did. 老美还知道中国的百年屈辱?)
a)这家伙想要政变:We could hope for an enlightened military coup, or some other deus ex machina by the right kind of tyrants.
b)民主政治改革:We could hope to change the basic nature of our democracy, so it fits the times as our other institutions do.
c)修改宪法:In principle, the United States could call for a new constitutional convention, to reconsider all the rules.
d)新的外来威胁改变美国人:We might hope for another Sputnik moment.
e)作者有点失望: Our government is old and broken and dysfunctional, and may even be beyond repair.
