Yet it would be a mistake to regard Latin America’s broadening international relations as marking the end of US preeminence. Unlike in the bygone era of superpowers and captive nations, American influence can no longer be defined by the ability to install and depose leaders from the US embassy.
但认为拉美国际关系的扩张标志着美国超然地位的终结是错误的。与已经成为过去的超级大国和附属国家的时代不同，美国的影响力早已不在体现在美国大使废立领导人的能力上。认为美国衰落忽视了国际政治在过去25年的变局。
