And the problem we face today, here in America in particular, but all around the world, is that far too many people are profoundly illiterate in power — what it is, who has it, how it operates, how it flows, what part of it is visible, what part of it is not, why some people have it, why that's compounded.
我们今天面临的问题，在美国尤甚， 但是个全球性的问题， 即太多太多的人对权力 一无所知—— 权力是什么，谁拥有权力， 它如何运作，如何流转， 权力的哪部分为人所知，哪部分鲜为人知， 为何有些人拥有权力，为何权力总是交错繁杂。
