[参考译文]美国凭借其政治、经济和军事优势正处于人类历史上的一个特殊时期。但是,30年内,中国的经济实力可能会赶上甚至超过美国。印度经济也有这种可能,只要它停止同巴基斯坦的争斗,不再把钱浪费在军备上。30年内,如果欧盟在政治和经济上越来越团结,它在政治和经济上的影响力也将与日俱增。那样一来,在相互依赖的世界上,美国所能做的就是带头,而不是主宰。 The United States, with its political, economic, and military advantages, is in a special period of human history. However, within 30 years, China’s economic strength may catch up even more than the United States. The Indian economy also has this possibility, as long as it stops fighting with Pakistan and no longer wastes money on armaments. Within 30 years, if the EU is more politically and economically united, its political and economic influence will also increase. In that way, in the interdependent world, what the United States can do is to take the lead, not to dominate.
