For eight years, George W. Bush has managed to incarnate and reinforce all the prejudices and negative stereotypes the world has of the US. He has antagonized the world more than any other American president before him, seriously damaging America’s “soft” power by inefficient and excessive use of its “hard” power.
八年以来，乔治•W•布什成功地继承和强化了世界对美国的所有偏见和成见。他比任何一位前任都更善于和世界对抗，以对“硬实力”的低效滥用，严重损害了美国的“软实力”。
