In January 1968 the leadership of the Czechoslovakian Communist Party reacted to an economic downturn by appointing a new party secretary, Alexander Dubcek.
1968年1月,捷克斯洛伐克共產黨領導人為解決經(jīng)濟的倒退問題,任命了新的黨委書記亞歷山大·杜布切克
That spring, Dubcek won the Czechoslovakians' support with a reform program including free speech,
那年春天,杜布切克憑借包括自由言論
increased power for trade unions, and the right to ignore Soviet policies.
增強工會權力,不理睬蘇維埃政策的改革項目贏得了捷克斯洛伐克人的支持
The corrupt Czechoslovakian president resigned and was replaced by a Dubcek supporter.
腐敗的捷克斯洛伐克總統(tǒng)辭職,取而代之的是杜布切克的支持者
Dubcek pledged that Czechoslovakia would not leave the Warsaw Pact, but on August 21, 1968 Warsaw Pact forces invaded Czechoslovakia anyway.
杜布切克保證捷克斯洛伐克不會退出華沙公約,但是1968年8月21日,華沙公約軍隊還是入侵了捷克斯洛伐克

Dubcek was carried off to Moscow, soon he was announcing his support and gratitude for the Russian intervention.
杜布切克被帶到了莫斯科,很快就宣布他支持并且感謝俄國的干預
Needless to say, Dubcek's reforms were also canceled.

To justify this intervention, Leonid Brezhnev invented the "Brezhnev Doctrine,"

which reserved for quote and unquote "all socialist countries" the right to intervene when or where a socialist country was being lured out of the Soviet bloc.
提出保留所有社會主義國家在某個社會主義國家被引誘出蘇聯(lián)集團時進行干預的權力
Although the Western bloc rightly protested the invasion of Czechoslovakia,

there were strong parallels between the Brezhnev Doctrine and the Monroe Doctrine.
但勃列日涅夫主義和門羅主義之間還是非常相像的
