沙特阿拉伯

The typical dress of the Saudi man consists of the thobe, a brilliant white gown, the agal, a black ring that holds the scarf in place, and the ghutra, a red and white, square-shaped scarf that covers the head.

The superpower that once saw its strategic role in the region as an "offshore balancer" has since the Gulf war of 1991 been very much onshore, with bases in the Persian Gulf and, for the time being still, a large army and air force in Iraq. America continues to have a vital interest in the region's oil and remains the chief armourer and presumed protector of Saudi Arabia and its GCC neighbours. Because America is also Israel's great defender, American policies have a sharp impact on all the Arab states affected by the Palestine conflict, on the fate of the Palestinians themselves and on the internal standing of regimes that are seen as American allies or dependants.

这个曾经将自己在该地区的战略角色定位为"离岸平衡手"的超级大国自1991年海湾战争之后，便已深深陷入其间，它在波斯湾设有基地，而且到目前为止依然在伊拉克驻有大量陆空部队；该地区的石油仍是美国重大利益之所在，它也继续扮演着沙特阿拉伯及其加入海湾合作委员会的邻国的首要军火提供者和假想中的保护者；又因为美国同时身兼以色列的主要保护者，因此美国的政策对于所有受巴勒斯坦冲突影响的阿拉伯国家、巴勒斯坦人自身的命运以及那些被视为美国盟友或依附者的政权的国内声望都有着强烈的影响。

It baffles me that President Bush would rather go to Saudi Arabia twice in four months and beg the Saudi king for an oil price break than ask the American people to drive 55 miles an hour, buy more fuel-efficient cars or accept a carbon taxor gasoline tax that might actually help free us from what he called our "addiction to oil."

一直令我困惑不解的是布什总统宁可在四个月中两度造访沙特阿拉伯，乞求沙特国王降低石油价格，也不愿意敦促美国民众以时速55英里的速度驾车，购买更多节油轿车，接受烟尘排放税或汽油税，而这些举措或许真的可以帮助我们从被布什总统称之为&对石油的嗜好&中解脱出来。
