问题 The world balance of power is changing. Countries like China, India, Turkey and Brazil are heard from more frequently and on a wider range of subjects. The European Union’s most ambitious global project—creating a universal treaty to reduce carbon emissions—has collapsed, and EU expansion has slowed to a crawl as Europe turns inward to deal with its debt crisis. Japan has ceded its place as the largest economy in Asia to China and appears increasingly on the defensive in the region as China’s hard and soft powers grow. The international specialists have a label for these changes: American decline. The dots look so connectable; The financial crisis, say the experts, comprehensively demonstrated the failure of "Anglo-Saxon" capitalism. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have sapped American strength and, allegedly , destroyed America’s ability to act in the Middle East. Actually, what’s been happening is just as fateful but much more complex. The United States isn’t in decline, but it is in the midst of a major rebalancing.

选项

答案 世界力量均势正在发生改变。在日渐广泛的议题上,人们越来越频繁地听取中国、印度、土耳其和巴西等国的意见。欧盟最雄心勃勃的全球性工程——订立各国一致遵守的减少碳排放协议的计划——已经流产,而随着欧洲着眼于解决自身债务危机,欧盟的经济扩张也放缓至龟速。日本已将亚洲最大经济体的宝座让给了中国,并且随着中国软硬两方面的实力不断增强,日本在亚洲似乎日益处于防守态势。各国分析人士给上述变化贴上了一个标签:美国的衰落。这些点看上去是紧密相连的:专家说,金融危机全面展示了英美资本主义的失败。阿富汗与伊拉克战争削弱了美国的力量,据说也破坏了美国在中东的行动能力。实际上,这些变化有如命定,但究其原因却更为复杂。美国并不是在走下坡路,而是正在经历重大调整。
