If there is one thing on which Joe Biden and most of the world would agree it is the failure of Donald Trump’s “America First” foreign policy. The US global trade deficit grew by almost 40 per cent during Trump’s time in office — the yardstick he most cared about.
如果说有一件事能够得到乔•拜登(Joe Biden)和世界大多数人的认同，那就是唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)的“美国优先”(America First)外交政策失败了。在特朗普执政期间，其最关心的衡量标准——美国的全球贸易逆差增长了近40%。
Biden, by contrast, has adopted a much fuzzier measure for diplomatic success — the health of America’s middle class. Every step will be assessed by its impact on ordinary Americans.
相比之下，拜登在外交成功方面采取了一种模糊得多的衡量标准——美国中产阶级的健康。每一项举措都将根据其对普通美国人的影响进行评估。
Biden’s “foreign policy for the middle class” has an attractive ring to it. Like all good slogans it refreshes the brand. But it is not clear how different his product will actually be.
拜登的“服务于中产阶级的外交政策”听起来很有吸引力。像所有好的口号一样，它能让品牌焕然一新。但目前还不清楚他的产品到底会有多大的不同。
