A new policy is needed not only in order to halt America’s drift into impotence as it tries to prevent Iraq from spiraling into full-scale civil war, but also because the map of power in the Middle East has changed dramatically.人们需要一个新政策,不仅是为了在美国防止伊拉克陷于全面内战的时候阻止美国滑入无能为力的境地,而且是因为中东的势力地图已经面目全非。© Project Syndicate 1995 – 2011http://www.project-syndicate.org/ 28.10.2010© Project Syndicate 1995 – 2011http://www.project-syndicate.org/ 28.10.2010
I have said that over the great Grimpen Mire there hung a dense, white fog. It was drifting slowly in our direction and banked itself up like a wall on that side of us, low but thick and well defined.我曾说过的那种大格林盆泥潭上的浓厚的白雾,这时正向我们这个方向慢慢飘了过来,积聚起来,就好象在我们的旁边竖起一堵墙似的,虽低但是很厚,而且界线也很分明。Conan Doyle, Arthur / The Hound of the Baskervilles柯南 道尔 / 巴斯克维尔猎犬巴斯克维尔猎犬柯南 道尔The Hound of the BaskervillesConan Doyle, Arthur© 1901, 1902 by A. Conan Doyle
