Asia Society
A half century ago when the Asia Society was founded, Asia was frozen in a cold war, wracked by poverty, and seemingly destined for desolation. Few in or outside of Asia's borders foresaw anything but a future of conflict, occupation, and despair. Today, the countries I will visit are at peace. Asia is on the cutting edge of so many of the world's innovations and trends. It is a contributor to global culture, a globally economic power, and a region of vital importance to the United States today and into our future.
半個(gè)世紀(jì)前，當(dāng)亞洲協(xié)會(huì)成立時(shí)，亞洲深陷冷戰(zhàn)的僵局，貧困肆虐，前景蒼涼。在亞洲內(nèi)外，除沖突、占領(lǐng)和絕望，很少有人能夠預(yù)見(jiàn)任何不同的未來(lái)。今天，我將要訪(fǎng)問(wèn)的亞洲各國(guó)生活在和平的環(huán)境里。亞洲正處在全世界許多創(chuàng)新與潮流的前沿。無(wú)論是今天還是在我們的未來(lái)，亞洲都是全球文化的貢獻(xiàn)者、全球經(jīng)濟(jì)的強(qiáng)大動(dòng)力以及一個(gè)對(duì)美國(guó)至關(guān)重要的地區(qū)。
