年9月高级口译考试翻译真题（英译汉）  

In the ing decades
Europe’s influence on affairs beyond its borders will be sharply limited
and it is in other regions
not Europe
that the 21st century will be most clearly fed and defined. Certainly
one reason for NATO’s increasing marginalization stems from the behavior of its European members. With NATO
critical decisions are still made nationally; much of the talk about a mon defense policy remains just that — talk. There is little specialization or coordination. Missing as well are many of the logistical and intelligence assets needed to project military force on distant battlefields. With the Cold War and the Soviet threat a distant memory
there is little political willingness
on a country-by-country basis
to provide adequate public funds to the military.
Political and demographic changes within Europe
as well as the United States
also ensure that the transatlantic alliance will lose prominence. In Europe
the E.U. project still consumes the attention of many
but for others
especially those in southern Europe facing unsustainable fiscal shortfalls
domestic economic turmoil takes precedence. No doubt
Europe’s security challenges are geographically
politically and psychologically less immediate to the population than its economic ones. Mounting financial problems and the imperative to cut deficits are sure to limit what Europeans can do militarily beyond their continent. It is true that the era in which Europe and transatlantic relations dominated U.S. foreign policy is over.
