You do not need to go to Davos for this, but in the Swiss mountains these ideas acquire an aura of legitimacy – call it the “I was told in Davos” imprimatur – which explains why political and economic analysts and commentators keep coming back, despite the Forum’s combination of pomposity and intellectual vacuity. The eminent people who pass through are given opportunities only for sound bites, developed thoughts.
你不需要专门跑到达沃斯去了解这些信息，但是在瑞士的山脉中这些观点获得了一种合法性的气息。“这是我在达沃斯听说的”，这解释了为什么政治和经济界的分析师和评论家一直都来参加会议，尽管论坛上充斥了炫耀和知识分子的空谈。经历过这些的杰出人士只有机会去发表一些尖刻的言论和经过演化的思想。
