MELBOURNE – If the broad post-World War II prosperity that has endured for six decades comes to an end, both the United States and Europe will be responsible. With rare exceptions, politics has become a discredited profession throughout the West.
墨尔本——如果持续了六十年之久的二战后大面积繁荣嘎然而止，美国和欧洲都要对此负责。政治已经在整个西方世界成为令人不齿的职业，在这个问题上几乎没有任何区别。明天总是比下周重要、而下周比明年重要，没有人努力追求长远的未来。现在西方正在为此付出代价。
