翻开任何一本国际关系史的教科书,没有哪一本会缺少乔治·凯南的名字。正是他著名的“八千字电报”塑造了美国的“遏制”政策,对二战后冷战格局的形成产生了深远影响。他的去世,也许标志着“遏制”和“冷战”又向历史深处迈进了一步。 Turning any textbook on the history of international relations, no one will lack the name of George Kennan. It is his famous “eight-word telegraph” that shaped the “containment” policy of the United States, which has had a profound effect on the formation of the Cold War pattern after World War II. His death may indicate that “containment” and “cold war” have taken a step toward the depths of history.
