Acting jointly means that the US will have to take into account other interests and views - views that may not always be in harmony with its own. America will have to accept a world that is regulated not by the US unilaterally, but by global institutions and permanent alliances.
联合行动意味着美国将不得不考虑到别国的利益和看法－尽管这些看法不一定总能与自己保持一致。美国必须接受不由美国单边控制、而由世界组织和永久性联盟管理的世界。如果这样，管理国际组织的原则和惯例就构成了美国权力的界线¾进而也就阻止了美国的霸权企图。
