Both assessments were unfair.
兩種評價都不算公正
From Eisenhower's years commanding the Western Allies' forces against Germany and Italy,
從艾森豪威爾指揮西方盟軍抗戰德國和意大利就可以看出
he knew the costs of war and he was determined to avoid them any way he could.
他深知戰爭的代價，決意要盡其所能避免戰爭
Concerned with the spread of Communism, he would prop up client regimes like South Korea and South Vietnam,
他很關注共產主義的傳播，愿意支持像韓國和南越南這樣的附庸政權
but he would not put up with international shenanigans on his allies' part, as happened during Suez Canal Crisis.
但是他也不能忍受自己的同盟國的國際惡作劇，例如蘇伊士運河危機
Despite having devoted his life to the Army, Eisenhower was also a firm believer in civilian control of the military.
盡管一生都致力于軍隊，艾森豪威爾也堅定地相信文職人員對于軍隊的控制
To my mind he is also one of America's grossly underestimated Presidents.
在我看來，他也是美國總統中被嚴重低估了的一位
3. The Red Scare, Part 2. The so called Red Scare of the 1950s was nothing new.
第三，紅色恐懼，第二部分。20世紀50年代所謂的紅色恐懼已經不新鮮
An earlier Red Scare had seized America right after World War One, complete with communists and terrorist bombing attacks.
一戰過后，紅色恐懼就已經籠罩了美國，當時由共產黨和恐怖分子的爆炸襲擊
While the United States was deporting supposed Communists to Russia, Communist Russia was deporting Western sympathizers over here.
美國向俄國驅逐境內假定的共產黨的同時，俄國也在將境內的西方支持者驅逐到美國
But the rooting out of Communists, real and supposed, reached its absurd and appalling peak during the early 1950s.
但是在20世紀50年代早期，共產黨勢力的擴大達到了駭人的高峰
