look at that guy
兄弟,你已经说了这句话的出处不可考,那就不能直接参照传言把Al Capone的解释放上来了。另外,参照布林肯的上下文也不可能有这个意思啊:From the start of this administration, we’ve made an investment, a reinvestment, in our alliances, in our partnerships, and in the multilateral system. We’ve reinvested, we’ve re-engaged, we’ve tried to rejuvenate, we’ve even reimagined. And the reason for that is simple: it’s because it’s in our interest to do it. Not a single one of the challenges that we have to face and that are so important to the interests of the American people can we effectively deal with alone, as powerful and as resourceful as we are. And so across the board, we’ve seen our comparative advantage as having a strong network of voluntary alliances, voluntary partnerships. And if you’re not at the table in the international system, you’re going to be on the menu. So it was very important for us to re-engage multilaterally, and we’ve done that.自本届政府上任以来,我们在我们的联盟、伙伴关系和多边体系中进行了投资和再投资。我们重新投资,重新参与,努力振兴,甚至重新构想。而这样做的原因很简单:因为这符合我们的利益。我们必须面对的挑战没有一项是可以独自有效处理的,尽管我们实力雄厚、资源丰富。因此,在各个领域,我们认识到我们的比较优势在于拥有一个强大的自愿联盟网络和自愿伙伴关系。And if you’re not at the table in the international system, you’re going to be on the menu. (如果你不在国际体系中参与,你就会成为被动接受的对象。)因此,我们重新参与多边合作对我们来说非常重要,而我们已经做到了。 【整体上还是要打消欧洲盟友对特朗普的孤立主义的顾虑,说明继续参与国际事务符合美国利益】
佩服你的逻辑,不知道出处何地,但网红砖家都说出于卡彭口,就是出处黑帮!好像你真听过黑帮人讲话似的(影视剧不算)就算你硬要歪曲人家本意,嘴上错话也比那些嘴上仁义道德,私下尽男盗女抢的人好(昌也是凭体力吃饭),比钢铁洪流去解救乌克兰无产阶级的强。
此话本意是:我们(文明人)要制定规则(比如反对侵略),不然野蛮(不讲规则)会逼迫你接受弱肉强食。
