Ultimately, however, the world’s relentless evolution plays to America’s most important strength: its unique ability to build broad and disparate coalitions. The range of alliances and relationships that the US has created, including with several of the rising powers, far surpasses that of any other global actor – and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
但是，最终，不断演化的世界有利于美国最重要的优势：与范围广泛、相关性极低的国家结成联盟的独特能力。美国所建立的联盟和关系范围——包括其与一些崛起大国之间的关系——是任何其他全球行动方无法比拟的，并且在可预见的未来继续保持这一优势。这或许是美国实力最长盛不衰的特征。
