Thirty years later, our world is not one in which the governments in Moscow or Washington are likely to hurl swarms of nuclear missiles at each other (if it ever was). Nor is it a world in which China or the US would conceivably ever intentionally start a nuclear war against the other.
三十年后，世界已不再是莫斯科和华盛顿对峙、准备互相投掷核弹群的世界了（如果曾经是的话）。这也不是中国或美国可以随心所欲互相发动核战争的世界了。
