Hegemony to rule for evermore?
霸權(quán)主義要永遠(yuǎn)統(tǒng)治下去嗎？
The US-led military campaigns in yugoslavia during the 1990s heralded the beginning of a new age of hegemony.
20世紀(jì)90年代，美國(guó)指揮的在南斯拉夫的軍事行動(dòng)預(yù)示著新霸權(quán)主義時(shí)代的開始。
Recent advances in military technology have served to heighten an already high degree of military superiority.
最近軍事技術(shù)上的進(jìn)步又提高了業(yè)已強(qiáng)大的軍事優(yōu)勢(shì)。
The british empire, at long last, appears to have found a powerful heir; pax americana-peace imposed by US domination.
不列顛帝國(guó)似乎終于找到了一個(gè)強(qiáng)大的繼承人。美國(guó)強(qiáng)權(quán)下的世界和平—美國(guó)控制下實(shí)施的和平。
No longer are america's interests restricted to its own hemisphere.
美國(guó)的利益不再局限于它自己的半球。
The seven seas are heaving with the weight of america's dozen or so aircraft carrier battle groups.
世界七大洋被美國(guó)海上作戰(zhàn)集團(tuán)的十余艘航空母艦的沉重噸位直壓得波濤起伏，不得平靜。
It is probably no heresy to say, though, that this situation cannot be called exactly healthful, hardly a fitting heirship to three centuries of britannia's pomp and glory.
不過(guò)，如果說(shuō)這種局面不能被稱為真正健康的，更不具備對(duì)大不列顛三個(gè)世紀(jì)的壯麗與輝煌的適當(dāng)?shù)睦^承權(quán)，恐怕不能算異端邪說(shuō)。
Heredity seems to count for little these days, for how else could this former british colony display such arrogance, apparently feeling no need to heed the advice of some of her best friends and allies?
現(xiàn)在，遺傳似乎沒(méi)有多大用處，不然，除了明目張膽地對(duì)她一些最好朋友和盟國(guó)的建議不予理睬之外，還有什么其他方法能使這塊前英國(guó)殖民地展示她那目空一切的高傲態(tài)度呢？
This is no mere hearsay, I have it on good authority that any dissenting opinions are brusquely pushed aside.
這不是道聽途說(shuō)，我可以為此提供可靠資料證明任何不同意見都被輕率地推到一邊。
Be that as it may, the current hectic pace of military engagements may ultimately prove to be the achilles'heel of american power.
盡管如此，現(xiàn)在緊張的交戰(zhàn)節(jié)奏可能最終被證明是美國(guó)權(quán)力的弱點(diǎn)。
And yet, for the time being, there seems to be no place to escape from attack, as even the last solitary herder tending his flock or herd on a bleak hillside in afghanistan, quietly enjoying a juicy piece of ham or mending the hem of his frock-heedless of the dangers around him—has found out.
但是，目前似乎沒(méi)有地方可以躲避戰(zhàn)火，如同最后一個(gè)孤獨(dú)的牧人在阿富汗一個(gè)荒涼的山坡上照管他的羊群或牛群，靜靜地享受一片多汁的火腿，或者修補(bǔ)外衣的邊緣時(shí)—沒(méi)有注意到周圍的危險(xiǎn)—所發(fā)現(xiàn)的。
Those lucky individuals who are merely taken prisoner are unceremoniously herded into holding camps, hemmed in by barbed wire for an indefinite duration.
那些只不過(guò)淪為俘虜?shù)男疫\(yùn)的人被隨便地趕入有刺鐵絲網(wǎng)包圍的拘留營(yíng)不定期地關(guān)押起來(lái)。
