　　我接触过不少老人，其中有的是我的好朋友，只要一见面，就会天南地北，无所不谈。从这些老人的谈话中，我感到他们常常为“闲得无聊”而发愁。这些老人的空闲时间特别多，同外边接触的机会又比较少，常常会被忙碌的晚辈忘记。不少年轻人，在家中可以同朋友和同事们兴致勃勃的谈个不休，却把自己的长辈丢在一边；有时老人偶儿插上几句，就会受到很不礼貌的责备。我们不理解老人喜欢家里热闹的心情，更不理解这种冷漠的态度会使老人多么伤心。

　　American is presently going through the beginning of a national debate over various components of its international role, for example the proposition that the United States is the only remaining superpower. That may be true in the military sense. On the other hand, the issues susceptible to solution by military action are in decline. In many other areas, the world is becoming much more evenly balanced. Indeed, we are now living in a world composed of six or seven major global players with comparable capacities to shape events outside the field of nuclear arms. In such an international order, there are only two roads to stability: one is hegemony based on one countrys dominance; the other is equilibrium, which is another way of describing the notorious balance of power. Unfortunately, too many Americans tend to reject both approaches. The American public seems determined to reject the role of global policeman which hegemony implies, and which runs counter to the moral convictions of the American people. But balance of power or equilibrium has also been historically rejected as a source of endless tensions. At crucial periods such as in deciding to enter the two world wars to preserve the global balance of power, Americans have been prepared to overcome their prejudice. In other words, American is in the process of learning —— and it is not quite there yet —— that the emerging world order will have to be based on some concept of equilibrium.
