With Obama in power, it would become – at least initially – more difficult for Europeans to denounce America, even if the “New France” of Nicolas Sarkozy has already moved away from this easy temptation. But it would also be less easy to reject a call for greater burden sharing in the world.
奥巴马一旦当选，欧洲人至少在开始阶段更为难以批评美国，即使是萨尔科奇的“新法国”也已经偏离了这一轻而易举的诱惑。但是同样也不再容易拒绝分摊更多的世界责任的呼吁。
