August was once a time for dreaming, wandering the empty streets of this city, reading silly-season newspaper stories after a leisurely lunch, gazing at squares where fountains plashed and the pregnant or the old chatted on benches at dusk. Then something happened. The world speeded up. Stress levels soared. Idle moments evaporated. Egos expanded. Money outpaced politics. Rage surged. August aborted this year. It morphed into the serious season. The beach lost out to the barricades. A time of outrage is upon us. Now a feeling has grown in Western societies that uncontrollable forces are at work shrinking possibility. History has never seen a global power shift as radical as the current one that managed to be peaceful.
Growth, jobs, expansion, excitement—and, yes, possibility—lie in the great non-Western arc from China through India to South Africa and Brazil. The world has been turned upside-down. What we are witnessing is how shaken Western societies are by such inversion. As new powers emerge, globalization has altered the relationship between capital and labor in the former’s favor. Returns on capital have proved higher relative to wages. The gap between rich and poor has become a gulf. The only people who walked away unscathed from the great financial binge were its main architects and greatest beneficiaries: such as bankers and financiers. This, too, is fueling a time of outrage that has left Western politicians chasing shadows.
选项
答案
八月曾经是一段梦想的时光,任你倘佯在这座城市空空荡荡的街道上,悠闲地享用午餐后读读无聊季节无重大新闻的报纸,黄昏时分两眼凝视着广场发呆,此时广场上喷泉飞溅,孕妇或老人则坐在长凳上闲聊。现如今新的情况发生了。世界的节奏加快。人们紧张的程度激增。悠闲的时光随即消逝。自我意识膨胀。敛财超过了政治。民众的愤怒情绪进发。今年的八月泡汤了,变成了一个严峻的时节。路障取代了海滩。我们遭遇了一个愤怒的时期。不可控制的力量正在起作用,从而减少了各种可能性。这种感觉在西方社会越来越强烈。历史上全球性力量转移从未像当前这样激进,而这种转移曾经以和平方式进行。 增长、就业、发展、兴奋——是的,还有可能性——都在非西方国家,即由中国经印度到南非、巴西的一个弧形圈。世界已经颠倒了过来。我们目睹的是西方社会如何被这一翻天覆地的变化所动摇。在新兴力量崛起之际,全球化改变了资本和劳动力的关系,使之对资本有利。资本的收益证明比工资要高的多。贫富差距已变成鸿沟。从这场金融狂热中安然脱身且毫发未损的,只是其主要的设计者和最大的受益人:诸如银行家和金融家等。这也滋长了一个义愤时代的出现,使得西方政客们茫茫然而不知所措。
