……出力不讨好的差事。我毫不怀疑这很难。他们的薪水真没那么多。换我我可不想干。如果你平时对政客这个群体挺冷嘲热讽的，那我强烈推荐 Ben Rhodes 的书《The World as It Is》[4]。它可能不会让你变得不那么愤世嫉俗——剧透一下：政治就是一坨狗屎烂摊子——但它可能会让你更能体会到，干这份工作的人也不过是普通人。他们……
…thankless task. I’ve no doubt it’s difficult. They really don’t get paid that much. I wouldn’t want to do it. If you’re generally cynical of politicians as a people, I can’t recommend Ben Rhodes’ book The World as It Is [4] enough. It might not make you any less cynical — spoiler: politics is a shit-fight — but it might give you a little more appreciation for the fact that the people doing this job are just that. They’re…

None of this cost me a penny. I hope you still…
大家最近在读什么书、文章或论文之类的吗？我刚读完 Ben Rhodes 的书《The World As It Is》，讲的是他在奥巴马政府担任美国负责战略沟通的国家安全副顾问的八年经历。我一直觉得美国总统职责的繁杂程度相当令人敬畏……
What book, article, paper, etc. are you reading right now? I just finished Ben Rhodes' book The World As It Is, about his eight years in the Obama administration as the U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications. I have always found the scale of a U.S. president's duties pretty awe-inspiring…
