Sometimes history jumps. 历史有时会发生跳跃。 Think of the first world war, the Bolshevik revolution, the Great Depression, the election of Adolf Hitler, the second world war, the beginning of the cold war, the collapse of the European empires, Deng Xiaoping’s reform and opening up of China, the demise of the Soviet Union, and the financial crisis of 2007-09 and subsequent great recession. 想想第一次世界大战、布尔什维克革命(Bolshevik Revolution,即俄国十月革命)、大萧条、阿道夫•希特勒(Adolf Hitler)当选、第二次世界大战、冷战爆发、多个欧洲帝国的瓦解、邓小平在中国实施的改革开放、苏联解体,以及2007-09年的金融危机和随后的大衰退。 We may be on the brink of an event as transformative as many of these: the election of Donald Trump as US president. 我们或许即将面临一起类似的转折性事件:唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)当选美国总统。 |
