thucydides trap
所谓“修昔底德陷阱”,是指一个新崛起的大国必然要挑战现存大国,而现存大国也必然会回应这种威胁,这样战争变得不可避免。此说法源自古希腊著名历史学家修昔底德的观点,这位历史学家认为,当一个崛起的大国与既有的统治霸主竞争时,双方面临的危险--正如公元前5世纪希腊人和19世纪末德国人面临的情况一样。这种挑战多数以战争告终。公元前5世纪,雅典的成就急剧崛起震惊了陆地霸主斯巴达。双方之间的威胁和反威胁引发竞争,长达30年的战争结束后,两国均遭毁灭(下文的解释)。
Day2 logical lines&神句神词组(结合笃师版对照)
笃学奖--Topic6--B19207--甘比精读给出下列名词英文解释(如有约定俗成的对应中文,请一并列出):
1.Keep alow profile, never take the lead, and make a difference
韬光养晦、决不当头、有所作为.
邓小平1992年提出韬光养晦有所作为的外交战略,这里翻译较为贴切,用了keep low profile意指保持低调。而最早的官方译本都是hide our
capabilities and bide our time意思就是掩盖自己的能力,等待时机东山再起,极易引起误解。此后,国外还有一些英文书籍或者是文章,进一步翻译成隐藏能力假装弱小,或者叫做隐藏真实目的,或者是隐藏野心收集爪子等等。其潜台词无外乎就是说,“韬光养晦”是中国在特定的内外形势下,所采取的一种权宜之际,是在隐蔽自己的真实意图等待时机成熟再出手。事实上,韬光养晦的核心含义是:要紧紧抓住经济建设这条主线,埋头苦干发展自己。只有发展自己才能够解决很多的问题。‘韬光养晦’目的就是我们要立足于自身的发展和壮大,才能在国际事务中发挥更大的、积极建设性作用。
关于韬光养晦和有所作为这个中国当年邓小平提出的外交方面的一个指导思想,两者间并不是对立的,不是非此即彼的,而是像中国的易经所讲的,是阴和阳不可分离的,并且阴中有阳,阳中有阴,在相互在一定条件可以转化的,这是一个战略哲学的问题,并不存在要么韬光养晦,要么有所作为问题,在韬光养晦的时候,我们要坚持原则并且不断的有所进取,在我们有所作为的时候也要注意量力而行,不说过头话,不做过头事,坚持我们的主权立场。
2.Thucydides Trap:
Thucydides' famous statement that it was the rise of Athenian power and the fear it inspired in Sparta that constituted the true cause of the Peloponnesian War.
“修昔底德陷阱”,是指一个新崛起的大国必然要挑战现存大国,而现存大国也必然会回应这种威胁,这样战争变得不可避免。此说法源自古希腊著名历史学家修昔底德,他认为,当一个崛起的大国与既有的统治霸主竞争时,双方面临的危险多数以战争告终。雅典和斯巴达的战争之所以最终变得不可避免,是因为雅典实力的增长,以及这种增长在斯巴达所引起的恐惧。自1500年到2014年,共有15例威胁案例,其中发生战争的有11例。
3.Washington consensus:华盛顿共识
1989年,陷于债务危机的拉美国家急需进行国内经济改革。美国国际经济研究所邀请国际货币基金组织、世界银行、美洲开发银行和美国财政部的研究人员,以及拉美国家代表在华盛顿召开了一个研讨会,旨在为拉美国家经济改革提供方案和对策。美国国际经济研究所的约翰·威廉姆森(John Williamson)对拉美国家的国内经济改革提出了已与上述各机栄达成共识的10条政策措施,称作华盛顿共识。,“华盛顿共识”的教条是“主张政府的角色最小化、快速私有化和自由化。Subsequentto Williamson's use of the terminology, and despite his emphatic opposition,the phrase Washington Consensus has come to be used fairly widely in a second,broader sense, to refer to a more general orientation towards astrongly market-based approach(sometimes described asmarket fundamentalismorneoliberalism).
4.State-of-the-nation speech:另一种说法是state-of-the-union
address国情咨文,不仅是美国,俄罗斯、菲律宾等实行总统制的国家,也都把总统向国会发表的年度报告称为“国情咨文”。美国政府的施政纲领,主要阐明美国总统每年面临的国内外情况,以及政府将要采取的政策措施。按照美国惯例,每年年初,现任总统都要在国会做年度报告,阐述政府的施政方针,被称为“国情咨文”。类似于我国的“政府工作报告”也就是文中提到的Work Report.
5.Not interfering in other countries’ internal affairs:
不干涉别国内政,耳熟的不能再耳熟阿~~~
6. Common and differentiated responsibilities:
共同但有区别的责任,当中and更多时候是被but替换。
“共同但有区别的责任”发端于上世纪70年代初。1972年斯德哥尔摩人类环境会议宣示,保护环境是全人类的“共同责任”;同时指出,发展中国家的环境问题“在很大程度上是发展不足造成的”。这已是“共同但有区别的责任”的雏形。
从上世纪80年代末起,“共同但有区别的责任”逐渐成为国际谈判中的一项规范用语。1997年,《京都议定书》第十条确认了这一原则,并以法律形式予以明确、细化。它规定发达国家应承担的减少温室气体排放(“减排”)的量化义务,而没有严格规定发展中国家应当承担的义务。这是这条原则的具体体现。

Feelings about the passage
本篇文章《龟兔赛跑》(个人理解)揭示了许多西方人对中国崛起的矛盾心理。在这个版本的龟兔赛跑寓言中,中国是“乌龟”,虽然行动缓慢,但终将赢得胜利,成为全球大国;而美国则是“兔子”——特朗普政府毫无章法地从一个地方跳到另一个地方。这篇文章明确指出:“《伊索寓言》知道这场比赛的结果如何。”中国获胜。
文章通过对中国宣传语的变化进行语义分析后发现,早期提出的是中国应该“发挥作用”,到2010年时变为中国应该“积极”发挥作用。今年1月,中国领导人在达沃斯的发言则带有一种情绪,即中国应该“领导经济全球化”。如果上述分析还不能令读者完全相信中国的全球抱负,那么还有更多证据:中国政府今年的政府工作报告中13次提到“全球”或“全球化”。我们最好为中国主导全球做好心理准备。另外观察到的就是中国正在超过美国的迹象是,中国越来越希望成为其他国家的表率,这体现在中国积极推广“中国方案”。正如文章所指出的,“目前还没有人给中国方案下定义,但无论它的定义是什么,都存在一个万能的中国方案。谈到中国的实际行动时,这篇文章呈现了截然不同的图景。通过“中国正在成为更积极的联合国成员,但中国并不寻求主导联合国。”中国对二十国集团决策的遵守也高于平均水平。中国还帮助应对气候变化的努力成为二十国集团的优先议题。此外,在特朗普似乎倾向于让美国违背气候问题承诺的情况下,中国准备独自推动或与其他国家合作推动这一进程。
最后所呈现的是:中国不是一个雄心勃勃的霸权国家,它不得不努力弥补因美国从全球体系中抽身而留下的空白。需要补充的一点是,不应将所有的大国关系都视为争夺头把交椅的竞赛,更不应将其视为一场零和博弈。无论是美国、中国,还是其他“乌龟”、“兔子”,或是其他所有“动物”,都有大量的工作要做,也都要肩负重担。
笃学奖--Topic6--B19207--甘比精读这期文章虽然蛮长的但是脉络很清晰,掌握了笃师之前教导的重点看前后一两段的方法,抓表转折之类关键词,扫清生词和词组后很快就掌握了文章大意,这么褒扬中国的国外文章还真不多见,可见我们国家实力的增长和地位提高之效,傲娇之感油然而生~
