But it is America that perhaps now stands to gain the most by reviving the Doha talks with a more credible and generous offer. America’s influence in the world has suffered greatly in the last few years; the Bush administration’s hypocritical use of free-market rhetoric while pursuing protectionist policies has made matters worse.
但如果更可信、更慷慨的提案能够使多哈回合谈判复苏，获益最大的恐怕也正是美国。过去几年来，美国的国际声誉大打折扣，布什政府假惺惺地借自由市场理论之名行保护主义政策之实的做法使美国的声誉进一步遭到重创。
