Of course, the world's policeman also tends to get to be the world's banker, and that's the rub, really. What happens if China starts running global monetary policy? (Or is it already?)
当然，世界警察往往也会成为世界银行家，而这，说真的，也正是问题所在。如果中国开始操纵全球货币政策，会怎样呢？（还是说它已经在操纵了？）
This very idea is going to provoke howls from the right, but I think that's alarmist twaddle. England once ran the world. Then it didn't. It's still a strong and wealthy and important country, and I'm sure some of you are prepared to point out ways in which it's better off without those obligations.
单这一想法就将激起右翼的怒吼，我倒觉得不过是危言耸听。英国曾经统治世界，而如今不再。但它仍然是一个富足强大而举足轻重的国家，并且，我相信你们中有些人一定很乐意指出更多英国境况变好的方面。

But China is not interested in the position.
可是人家中国压根儿对这位置不感兴趣。

damntheral- not yet but they are damn well interested in the Gulf, the Indian Ocean, the South China Sea, the Straits of Malacca and so forth.
@damnthral：现在还没，但他们对波斯湾、印度洋、南海、马六甲海峡等地方太TM有兴趣了。

Why on earth should China want to be another America? This is such an old fantasy. China is NOT warlike as the USA is. China is too clever for that. China has other fish to fry. China is trying to modernise its country at the speed of lightning. Eventually China wishes to be a leader in innovation and technology. China has no time to be the world's policeman. The whole idea is an outdated concept. The future is cooperation and dialogue amongst the peoples of the world, not shooting & bombing people to smithereens. Use of intellect instead of bombs is preferable.
中国为毛会想成为第二个美国？这简直是个老掉牙的臆想了。中国才不像美国那么好战。中国聪明得很，才不会那么干。中国有其他的事要做。中国正忙着飞速推进国家的现代化。最终中国想要在科技创新上领先。中国没时间当什么世界警察。这想法已经过时了。未来将会是世界人民共同合作与对话的时代，而不是大伙儿端着枪扛着炮打个血肉横飞。比起炸弹来，人才会是更好的武器。

I don't think China cares for that role - looking at Africa it has a clear policy of non-interference. China couldn't care less who it deals with, just that it gets a deal signed.
我不觉得中国会稀罕这么个角色—它对非洲很明显实行的不干涉政策。只要能签合约，中国压根儿不在乎和谁签。

The suffering of the Libyan people is a tragedy, but it is not America's responsilbility to unilaterally attempt to deal with it. We cannot and should not act alone.
The American empire is crumbling because, like all the failed empires of the past, we have overstretched oursleves militarily and we cannot afford to conitune to pay for it.
利比亚人民的遭遇很悲惨，但美国没有义务单方面地试着解决。我们不能也不应独自行动。
美帝国正在崩塌，因为我们过多地使用军事力量并且无力继续承担开销，正像往昔那些没落的帝国一样。

Time to close the bases in Europe and Asia and invest that money in America instead. The rest of the world will cope just fine. Might do them good to step up and take care of themselves for a change.
是时候该关闭我们在欧洲亚洲的军事基地了，把那些钱用到美国国内来。世界各国会好好过的。改变一下，让他们自己前进，自己照顾自己，没准儿还对他们有好处。
