4、 of Asia.说到权利的转移,我们经常会提起亚洲的崛起。01:03It really should be called the recovery or return of Asia.确切地说应该称作 亚洲的复兴或者亚洲的回归。01:10If we looked at the world in 1800,youd find that more thanhalf of the worlds people lived in Asia and they made morethan half the worlds product.回顾19世纪的 世界,你会发现世界上一半以上的人口 都居住在亚洲 而且

8、 this in your mind:computing and communications costs have fallen athousandfold between 1970 and the beginning of thiscentury.要理解权利分散 就要明白一点:计算和交流的成本已经降到原来的千分之几 从1970年 到本世纪初。02:08Now thats a big abstract number.这个数字很大,很抽象,02:23But to make it more real,if the price of an automobile hadfallen as rapid

13、。03:04Now,anybody has that capacity,which previously wasrestricted by price just to a few actors.但是几天人人都能享有这些技术,以前人们受到价格的制约 只有少数人才能享有,03:16If they have the price of entry into an Internet cafe-the lasttime I looked,it was something like a pound an hour-and ifyou have Skype,its free.如果人们有足够的钱去网吧 我上次查
14、到的价格大概是每小时一磅左右 但是如果你用Skype,是免费的。03:25So capabilities that were once restricted are now available toeveryone.所以曾经 被限制的能力 现在人人都可以享有。03:34And what that means is not that the age of the State is over.这并不意味着 国家的时代结束了。03:40declines:vi.下降;衰退;拒绝(decline的第三人称单数)barriers:n.障碍;栅栏;篱笆墙(barrier的复数形式)simultaneousl

18、丧生的美国人超过了 1941年日本政府的行为。04:21You might think of that as the privatization of war.你可能会想 战争已经不再是国家行为。04:33So were seeing a great change in terms of diffusion ofpower.因此我们看到的是权力分散的 一个重大变化。04:37Now the problem is that were not thinking about it in veryinnovative ways.可问题是 我们对此的看法不够新。04:43non-governmental

29、at history,in recent history,youll see the cycles ofbelief in American decline come and go every 10 or 15 yearsor so.如果回顾历史,近代历史 你会发现这种认为 美国衰落的说法 每隔10年到20年左右就会出现。07:08In 1958,after the Soviets put up Sputnik,it was Thats theend of America.1958年,苏联发射人造卫星以后 人们就说“美国要衰落了。”07:19In 1973,with the oil embar

33、ecline again.事实上,正是人们在21世纪初 过分乐观,认为美国无所不能,导致了我们作出了一些灾难性的 外交政策,现在又出现了美国衰落的声音。07:50The moral of this story is all these narratives about rise andfall and decline tell us a lot more about psychology thanthey do about reality.总之 所有这些关于崛起,倒退和衰落的阐述 讲的更多的是一种心理 而不是事实。08:03If we try to focus on the reality,t
34、hen what we need to focuson is whats really happening in terms of China and theUnited States.现在让我们只关注事实,那么我们就需要关注 当下在中国和美国 正在发生的事情。08:13Goldman Sachs has projected that China,the Chineseeconomy,will surpass that of the U.S.高盛预言 中国,中国经济 将会在2027年08:24by 2027.超过美国。08:32So weve got,what,17 more years to

37、ction:n.投射;规划;突出;发射;推测Let me mention three reasons why its too simple.让我来给出为什么这些预测过于简单的原因。08:57First of all,its a linear projection.第一,它是线性的预测。09:00You know,everything says,heres the growth rate of China,heres the growth rate of the U.S.,here it goes-straight line.种种迹象 这是中国的增长率,这是美国的增长率,请看直线09:03His
38、tory is not linear.然而历史不是一条直线。09:09There are often bumps along the road,accidents along theway.历史进程经常出现曲折和突发事件。09:11The second thing is that the Chinese economy passes the U.S.economy in,lets say,2030,which it may it,that will be ameasure of total economic size,but not of per capita income-wont tell
39、 you about the composition of the economy.第二 中国经济 如果说在2030年超过了美国经济,就算事实真的如此,也是按经济总量来衡量的,并非人均收入 并不能说明经济的组成。09:14China still has large areas of underdevelopment and percapita income is a better measure of the sophistication ofthe economy.中国的广大地区 还很落后。人均收入能够更好的衡量 经济的复杂性。09:31And that the Chinese wont c
40、atch up or pass the Americansuntil somewhere in the latter part,after 2050,of this century.在这之后,中国才有可能在人均收入 超过美国,那会是在本世纪,2050年以后。09:39The other point thats worth noticing is how one-dimensional this projection is.另外值得一提的是 这个预测的衡量标准 是多么的单一。09:47First of all:adv.首先 linear:adj.线的,线型的;直线的,线状的;长度的 bumps:
41、碰撞(bump的第三人称单数)/碰撞(bump的复数)capita:n.头数(尤指牲口)sophistication:n.复杂;诡辩;老于世故;有教养 one-dimensional:adj.肤浅的;单面的;幻想的You know,it looks at economic power measured by GDP.它看到是通过GDP,衡量的经济实力。09:54Doesnt tell you much about military power,doesnt tell youvery much about soft power.并不说明军事实力,也不能说明软实力。09:58Its all ver
42、y one-dimensional.它的衡量标准是单一的。10:03And also,when we think about the rise of Asia,or return ofAsia as I called it a little bit earlier,its worth rememberingAsias not one thing.而且说到亚洲的崛起,或者是亚洲的回归,就像我之前提到的,需要注意的是亚洲不是一个整体。10:05If youre sitting in Japan,or in New Delhi,or in Hanoi,yourview of the rise of
43、China is a little different than if youresitting in Beijing.对于日本,新德里,或者河内来说,对与中国的崛起和中国自己的看法是不同的。10:15Indeed,one of the advantages that the Americans will have interms of power in Asia is all those countries want anAmerican insurance policy against the rise of China.事实上,关于亚洲的势力 美国拥有的 一个优势 就是所有这些国家 都希
44、望得到美国政策的保护 来制衡中国。10:28Its as though Mexico and Canada were hostile neighbors tothe United States,which theyre not.就像墨西哥和加拿大 历史上是美国不很友好的邻邦,现在也是这样的。10:40So these simple projections of the Goldman Sachs type arenot telling us what we need to know about power transition.所以高盛作出的这些 简单的预测 并不能说明我们应该知道的 全力转移
45、。10:47But you might ask,well so what in any case?然而,你可能会说,无论如何,那又怎么样呢?10:54different than:不同于 in any case:无论如何Why does it matter?Who cares?为什么这一点很重要?谁会在乎?10:57Is this just a game that diplomats and academics play?这只是一场 外交家们和学术界的一场游戏吗?10:59The answer is it matters quite a lot.答案是这一点很重要。11:03Because,i
46、f you believe in decline and you get the answerswrong on this,the facts,not the myths,you may havepolicies which are very dangerous.因为,如果相信衰落 关于这个问题得到的答案是错误的,事实上,不是谣传,这样错误的答案是很危险的。11:06Let me give you an example from history.以下是历史上的例子。11:16The Peloponnesian War was the great conflict in which theGre
47、ek city state system tore itself apart two and a halfmillennia ago.伯罗奔尼萨战争 是希腊城邦体制的 很大的冲突 导致了两千伍佰年前 希腊的分崩离析。11:19What caused it?根源是什么?11:31Thucydides,the great historian of the the PeloponnesianWar,said it was the rise in the power of Athens and the fear itcreated in Sparta.修西得底斯,伯罗奔尼萨战争时期的伟大历史学家,说是
48、因为希腊人的崛起 和斯巴达克人对希腊人崛起的恐惧。11:33Notice both halves of that explanation.注意这前后这两部分的原因。11:42Many people argue that the 21st century is going to repeatthe 20th century,in which World War One,the greatconflagration in which the European state system tore itselfapart and destroyed its centrality in the worl
49、d,that that wascaused by the rise in the power of Germany and the fear itcreated in Britain.很多人认为 21世纪 将会重蹈20世纪的覆辙,第一次世界大战 的战火 使得整个欧洲的体制 分崩离析破坏了它在世界的中心地位,原因就是 德国的崛起和英国的恐慌。11:45diplomats:外交官 academics:n.学术水平;学术知识;专业学者 myths:神话/谬见 halves:n.一学期;两等份(half的复数形式)conflagration:n.大火;快速燃烧;突发;冲突 centrality:n.中
