I have always been against swanking about all the things I have been lucky enough to win. 我一向不喜欢和别人炫耀自己因为幸运而取得的那些成就。
Never mind talk of American decline; for the leader of a middle-ranking ally clinging precariously to past glories nothing beats swanking with the most powerful politician on earth. 别去管什么美国衰落说;对于一个地位不高不低、正摇摇欲坠地抓住往日荣耀的盟国的领导者来说,没有什么比和地球上最具权力的政界人物一起吹嘘炫耀更过瘾了。
