At first glance, nonalignment looks like an attractive option for still-emerging countries like India, Indonesia, Brazil, and others, because it promises freedom from the insidious grip of entangling alliances. But, more important, it holds out the prospect that a people can chart its own path, free from external pressure – a particularly attractive proposition for countries that remain scarred by their colonial pasts.
乍看之下，因为有望摆脱纠缠不清的盟国的阴险控制，不结盟貌似印度、印尼、巴西等新兴国家颇具诱惑力的选择。但更重要的是它描绘了一个民族在挣脱外来压力的情况下选择自身道路的前景，而这在仍试图走出过去殖民阴影的国家看来是特别有诱惑力的选择。
