柏林墙

We first saw it coming 30 years ago and began redoubling our efforts after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent collapse of trade barriers around the world.

但总的来说，体现得最为明显的还是政府机构规模的扩展以及支出占 GDP 的比重的增加。1989年，随着与弗老理念最为一致的罗纳德·里根总统的离去，加之柏林墙的轰然倒下，美国政府的干预势头就几乎同它的经济增长一样快，而这些年来，美国经济大部分时间的增长十分强劲。

But the bulk of Berlin's tourist industry colludes in revisionism, selling Berlin's history to visitors in meaningless lumps, like the wall peckers hawking pieces of the Wall.

Similarly, the upcoming generation of American politicians will not have spent their formative years goggling at Checkpoint Charlie in divided Berlin, or feeling their spirits soar at the courage and triumph of dissidents such as Andrei Sakharov.

类似地，美国即将上台的政要一代不会在未来岁月对分开东西柏林的柏林墙转动眼珠费心劳神，或者在安德烈？萨哈罗夫3这些不同政见者的勇气和胜利中感受他们飞扬的精神。
