二、最近有一本著名的國際關係刊物,刊出重要學者的一段評論摘錄如下。请
先仔細閱讀後,再回答以下問題:
The president has outlined a deeply misguided foreign policy vision that is
distrustful of U.S. allies, scornful of international institutions, and indifferent, if
not downright hostile, to the liberal international order that the United States has
sustained for nearly eight decades. The real tragedy, however, is not that the
president has brought this flawed vision to the fore; it is that his is merely one
mangled interpretation of what is rapidly emerging as a new consensus on the
left and the right: that the United States should accept a more modest role in
world affairs.
Although Trump has made nearly every aspect of U.S. foreign policy worse, he
is not the sole cause of the United States' increasingly erratic, shortsighted, and
selfish behavior. He has merely accelerated a trend--that of
Washington's retreat from its global responsibilities--that was already
developing by the time he took office and that will outlast him. Indeed, this
trend is only likely to continue, since its roots lie not in passing political events
but in the extinction of the living memory of World War I, a world-historical
event that revolutionized U.S. foreign policy and shaped its course for most of
the twentieth century.
