3．摘自<Economist 4.26 China :manage that anger>

The protesters have many targets. The CNN television channel stoked anger not only with its coverage of events in China, but also with some intemperate remarks made by a curmudgeonly in-house commentator, Jack Cafferty. He said that although America's relationship with China has changed a great deal, “they're basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years.” Few in China were mollified when he later made it clear that he had meant China's government, not its people. And few seem to see any parallel with a recent commentary by Xinhua—a state-run news agency that serves, it is worth noting, (指什么？是指那个评论员worth nothing么)as the mouthpiece for China's government—calling Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the House of Representatives, “disgusting” and “detested”.

…

The display of outraged patriotism serves the interests of China's government in ways both obvious and subtle, at least up to a point. It naturally prefers to see people united behind government policies and cross at foreigners than to have them complaining about corruption, inequality, environmental degradation and the many other problems at home. And the government will be pleased if its people turn against foreign forms of democracy and freedom of expression that they have sometimes been tempted to argue it might consider adopting.

…

Mixed in with all the nationalist bluster have been a few voices of moderation. But a bit of calm and wisdom could go a long way, as could（这是什么用法） a more nuanced understanding among Chinese nationalists of the outside world that so frequently angers them. Chinese protesters who were so incensed by Mr Cafferty's comment might, for example, be surprised at some of the venom he's poured on America's own leaders. And they might be even more surprised at just how little anybody cares.
