赏析前草稿：
前文有用信息：losing faith in the liberal order.Governments through out the world are increasingly restricting immigration, mposing high tariffs,censoring foreign ideas and turning their countries into walled fortresses.
8-9段属于大标题Balancing nationalism with globalism ，第7段讲了全球都面对的三个问题：nuclear war, climate change and technological disruption.
正式内容：
8.You cannot build a wall against nuclear winter or against global warming, and no nation can regulate artificial intelligence or bioengineering singlehandedly. It won’t be enough if only the European Union forbids producing killer robots or only the United States bans genetic ally engineering human babies. If even one country decides to pursue these high-risk high-gain paths,other countries will be forced to follow its dangerous lead for fear of being left behind. So whenever a politician says “My Country First”, we should ask him or her: how can your country by itself prevent nuclear war, stop climate change and regulate disruptive echnologies?
内容总结：没有哪一个国家（组织）能独自应对前文（第7段）提到的三大问题：核战、气候变化、科技混乱。只要有国家决定对这些高风险高回报的项目一意孤行，其它国家为了不落后也会不顾危险，穷追不舍。所以当政客标榜“我们国家优先”时，我们可以问问他（她）：仅凭一己之力，如何去避免上述三个全球性的问题。
语言学习：
1、singlehandedly 单手地，独力地，单枪匹马地，当我们用腻了do something by oneself时，不妨换一下这个副词。How can your country by itself prevent nuclear war？我们也可以说How can your country prevent nuclear war singlehandedly？
2、注意并列句中同义词替换： It won’t be enough if only the European Union forbids producing killer robots or only the United States bans genetic ally engineering human babies.
3、 high-risk high-gain，大部分人做理财时，常会选择low-risk low-gain的理财产品。
4、前文已经说到了nuclear war, climate change and technological disruption三大全球性的问题，如果你要去联合国做演讲（美一下），那么分别避免这三个问题，对应的动词可以灵活多样而精准：prevent nuclear war，stop climate change and regulate disruptive echnologies (technological disruption)。
9.To successfully confront these three problems we need more, rather than less, global co-operation. We need to create a global identity and encourage people to be loyal to humankind and to planet Earth in addition to their particular nation. Nationalism need not prove an impossible barrier to creating such a global identity. Human identities are quite adaptable.
内容总结：为了成功地应对这三大问题，我们需要更广泛的全球合作。我们需要创建全球性的身份，鼓励人们除了忠诚于自己的国家以外，更应该（上升到）忠诚于全人类，忠诚于我们的地球。国家主义没有必要（费尽心思）证明建立全球性的身份是不可能逾越的障碍，因为人类的身份是极其有适应能力的。
语言学习：
1、提炼句型：To successfully confront this problem/challenge/dilemma/task, we need sth/to do sth 比如：为了成功应对分组赏析经济学人的挑战，我们需要明确的分工，更多的交流。 To successfully confront this challenge—appreciative analysis on The Economist, we need clear-cut divisions and more exchanges of information and views.
2、“忠诚”的三个进阶：be loyal to our particular nation, be loyal to humankind, be loyal to planet Earth.

Eric的评述：
这里的 one and the same 是个习语，这种查询意识很棒，我一下想到了 1984 中的 “Doublethink”，原文是这样说的：
To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic...
这里的 at one and the same time 就可以换成 1984 中的 simultaneously
This nihilistic positionis nonsensical. 这句话我想作者注意到了押韵，这种佳句要背下来。
