A political gaffe is most dangerous when it seems to confirm what voters already suspect. 当政治上的失言看上去证实了选民们已有的怀疑时,这种失言是最危险的。
If such diplomacy, on the control of nuclear weapons or other scientific issues, is driven by the political and commercial interests of the developed world, it will remain suspect and doomed to fail. 如果这样的关于核武器控制或其他科学问题的外交受到了发达国家的政治和商业利益的驱动,它将仍然会受到怀疑并注定会失败。
