邀请弗拉基米尔·普京参加即将召开的二十国集团（G20）峰会，需要国际社会作出团结、毫不妥协的回应（见9月26日“评论与展望”栏目的《特朗普再次赐福普京》）。这份邀请是对文明世界的侮辱。
The decision to invite Vladimir Putin to the upcoming G-20 summit demands a unified, uncompromising response from the international community (“Trump Gives Putin Another Blessing,” Review & Outlook, Sept. 26). The invitation is an insult to the civilized world.
我们以前就见过这种软弱无力的剧本。1938年，英国首相内维尔·张伯伦从柏林归来，挥舞着一张由希特勒签署的毫无价值的纸，天真地承诺“我们这个时代的和平”。历史已经向我们展示了迁就侵略性暴君的代价。那种可悲的绥靖政策并没有阻止战争；它助长了一个怪兽。
We have seen this spineless script before. In 1938, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain returned from Berlin waving a worthless piece of paper signed by Hitler, naively promising “peace for our time.”History has already shown us the cost of accommodating aggressive tyrants. That pathetic appeasement didn’t prevent war; it fueled a monster.
