Now is the twilight(暮光,衰落期) of Donald Trump’s supremacy(至高无上,霸权). The US is still the richest and most heavily armed nation on Earth. That status is secure. The current president, contemptuous(轻蔑的,鄙视的) of law and indulged in(沉溺于,纵容于) lawlessness by a supine(仰卧的;软弱的,屈从的) Congress, enjoys even greater power than the constitution allows.
如今正是唐纳德·特朗普霸权地位的暮光时分。美国仍是地球上最富有、军备最强大的国家,这一地位稳固。现任总统蔑视法律,又被唯唯诺诺的国会纵容于无法无天之中,其享有的权力甚至超出了宪法的许可。
With those advantages it takes a special talent for incompetence to look as thwarted and impotent as Trump does with more than two years of his second term still to run.(拥有这些优势,却仍显得像特朗普那样受挫且无能——第二任期还有两年多——这需要一种特殊的无能天赋。)
拥有这些优势,却仍显得像特朗普那样受挫且无能——第二任期还有两年多的时间——这需要一种特殊的无能天赋。
History will record the war against Iran as a turning point(转折点) in the fortunes of the current US administration and a grievous(严重的,令人痛心的) wound to national prestige(威望,声望).
历史将把对伊朗的战争记录为现任美国政府命运的转折点,以及国家威望的严重创伤。
