But there is hopeful news as well: we have the ability to solve this crisis and avoid the worst though not all of its consequences, if we act boldly, decisively and quickly. However, despite a growing number of honorable exceptions, too many of the worlds leaders are still best described in the words Winston Churchill applied to those who ignored Adolf Hitlers threat: They go on in strange paradox, decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all powerful to be impotent.

No matter how familiar and intimate the friends are, the relationship should be treated carefully and respect should be treasured for friends. Otherwise, the partnership and balance would be broken, as a result, a good relationship would no longer exist.Everyone has a desire for his own personal space, which could be easily invaded if the attitude between friends is too free. Then conflicts appear, causing barriers. Although it seems a small case of not respecting friends, harmful seeds may be sowed to ruin the relationship. In a word, the best way to keep positive friendship is associating with temperate manners and without too much interference. 專八翻譯練習(xí)2010-10-25【練習(xí)】C-E原文： 近讀報(bào)紙，對(duì)國(guó)內(nèi)名片和請(qǐng)柬的議論頗多， 于是想起客居巴黎時(shí)經(jīng)常見到的法國(guó)人手中的名片和請(qǐng)柬，隨筆記下來(lái)，似乎不無(wú)借鑒之處。 在巴黎，名目繁多的酒會(huì)，冷餐會(huì)是廣交朋友的好機(jī)會(huì)。在這種場(chǎng)合陌生人相識(shí)，如果是亞洲人，他們往往開口之前先畢恭畢敬地用雙手把自己的名片呈遞給對(duì)方，這好像是不可缺少的禮節(jié)。然而，法國(guó)人一般卻都不大主動(dòng)遞送名片，雙方見面寒暄幾句，甚至海闊天空地聊一番也就各自走開，只有當(dāng)雙方談話投機(jī)，希望繼續(xù)交往時(shí)，才會(huì)主動(dòng)掏出名片。二話不說(shuō)先遞名片反倒顯得有些勉強(qiáng)。E-C原文原文：It should have been easy.
