The article in Time on May 12th 2019, Austerity-Battered U.K.‘Retreating Behind a Nuclear Shield’ mentions that the budget cutbacks have contributed to growing doubts in Washington about whether Britain remains capable of fighting a war alongside the American military.France is gradually supplanting Britain as the leading European military ally of the United States, further weakening the “special relationship” between Britain and America.

最新一期的美國(guó)《時(shí)代》周刊題為《英國(guó)軍費(fèi)捉襟見(jiàn)肘，靠核力量撐腰》的文章提到，英國(guó)軍費(fèi)預(yù)算削減讓美國(guó)對(duì)英國(guó)是否仍有能力與美軍并肩作戰(zhàn)產(chǎn)生了越來(lái)越大的懷疑。法國(guó)正在逐漸取代英國(guó)成為美國(guó)在歐洲的主要軍事盟友, 這進(jìn)一步削弱了英美之間的“特殊關(guān)系”。

The article with the title saying Capitalism in Crisis in Washingtonpost on May 3rd, 2019, mentioned that Democrats and Republicans have hailed America’s business elite, especially in Silicon Valley,as the country’s salvation.The government might be gridlocked, the electorate angry and divided, but America’s innovators seemed to promise a relatively pain-free way out of the mess.For the first time in decades, capitalism’s future is a subject of debate among presidential hopefuls.There is a sense that the kind of capitalism that once made America an economic envy is responsible for the growing inequality and anger that is tearing the country apart.

2019年5月3日的《華盛頓郵報(bào)》一篇題為《危機(jī)中的資本主義》的文章稱(chēng)，美國(guó)民主與共和兩黨稱(chēng)商界尤其是硅谷的精英們是國(guó)家的“救世主”。政府可能會(huì)陷入僵局，選民們憤怒和分裂。幾十年來(lái)，資本主義的未來(lái)首次成為總統(tǒng)候選人爭(zhēng)論的話(huà)題。人們都有一種感覺(jué),資本主義曾經(jīng)讓美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)為他國(guó)所嫉妒，同時(shí)也是日益加劇的不平等和憤怒的罪魁禍?zhǔn)?，而這種情緒正在使美國(guó)四分五裂。
