BERKELEY – When the French politician and moral philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville published the first volume of his Democracy in America in 1835, he did so because he thought that France was in big trouble and could learn much from America. So one can only wonder what he would have made of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida.
伯克利—1835年，法国政治家和道德哲学家托克维尔出版了《论美国的民主》上卷。他之所以写这么本书，是因为他觉得法国正陷入大麻烦中，可以从美国身上学到很多东西。要是他看了佛罗里达州坦帕市的共和党全国大会上仍作如是观，那真是有鬼了。
