A gathering of the modern equivalents of Metternich, Castlereagh, Alexander I, and Talleyrand is also a dream: there are none. But, in confronting today’s growing disorder and escalating violence, the leaders we have would do well to draw some inspiration from their forebears, who 200 years ago this week opened the way to nearly a century of peace.
当代梅特涅、卡斯尔雷、亚历山大一世和塔列朗的聚会也是一个梦：根本没有这样的聚会。但是，在面临当今日益失序、暴力日益升级的局面时，我们所有的领导人如能从他们的先辈中汲取一些灵感，将善莫大焉。200年前的这个星期为近一百年的和平打开了大门。
