The youth revolt that began in Tunis and Cairo in 2010-2011 has come to an end (at least for the time being), though the region has been changed fundamentally by it. The victory of counter-revolution and power politics, as in Egypt, has only seemed to restore the old order; the current regime’s political foundations are simply too brittle.
2010-2011年始于突尼斯和开罗的青年起义已经结束（至少目前暂时结束），但这次起义已经彻底改变了中东地区的格局。埃及反革命及强权政治获胜似乎不过是恢复了旧有的秩序；现政权的政治基础实在过于薄弱。
