LONDON – In the early 1970’s, Saudi Arabia’s King Faisal reportedly confided to senior members of the royal family his fear that, just as in a single generation the country had moved from “riding camels to riding Cadillacs….the next generation could be riding camels again.” His warning seems more apt than ever.
伦敦—据说在20世纪70年代初，沙特阿拉伯的费萨尔国王向资深皇室成员透露，他担心这个国家只用了一代人就“从驼背上的民族变成了卡迪拉克里的民族……再过一代说不定又变回驼背上的民族。”如今，他的警告前所未有地接近发生。
