Regardless of whether the twenty-first century will be another “American century,” it is certain that it will be an Asian and Pacific century. It is both natural and sensible that the US be central to whatever evolves from that fact.
不管21世纪是否会成为又一个“美国世纪”，可以肯定的是，21世纪将是一个亚太世纪。不管这一事实会带来怎样的结果，美国必然占据中心位置，这一点再自然不过了，人人都能感觉到。
