“文明人应具备同理心。” — — 马尔科姆·克尔，这位被暗杀的大学校长的话开启了金·加塔斯的新书《最好的美国人》。他们无视是谁发动了对乌克兰的入侵。他们无视是谁在杀害祖父母。他们无视是谁在绑架儿童。
“The truly civilized man is marked by empathy.”— Malcolm Kerr, the assassinated university president whose words open Kim Ghattas’ new book, “The Best Kind of American” They ignore who launched the invasion of Ukraine. They ignore who’s killing grandmothers and grandfathers. They ignore who’s kidnapping children. When you’re defending an ex-KGB agent who commits war crimes by the day, I’m not sure how you sleep at night.
当你在为一名每天犯下战争罪的前克格勃特工辩护时，我真不知道你晚上怎么能睡得着。
In October 1937, 89 years ago this month, a former king of England walked up the steps of Adolf Hitler’s mountain retreat in Bavaria.
1937年10月，也就是89年前的这个月，一位前英格兰国王走上了巴伐利亚阿道夫·希特勒山间别墅的台阶。
The Duke of Windsor toured German factories, inspected the SS, and greeted the führer.
温莎公爵参观了德国工厂，视察了党卫军，并向元首问好。他们分别时，希特勒行纳粹礼，爱德华也回以同样的礼。
As they parted, Hitler gave a Nazi salute. Edward returned it.
温斯顿·丘吉尔把他送往巴哈马群岛，以让他远离他在柏林的新朋友。而温莎公爵并非孤例。
Winston Churchill shipped him off to the Bahamas to keep him away from his new friend in Berlin. And the Duke wasn’t alone.
美国英雄查尔斯·林德伯格于1938年接受了赫尔曼·戈林颁发的奖章，并成为“美国优先”运动的代表人物。
Charles Lindbergh, an American hero, accepted a medal from Hermann Göring in 1938 and became the face of the “America First” movement.
富兰克林·罗斯福本人任命的驻英大使约瑟夫·肯尼迪预言，民主在英国已经完蛋。这让他丢掉了工作。
FDR’s own ambassador to Britain, Joseph Kennedy, predicted democracy was finished in England. It cost him his job.
他们的理由听起来如此体面：贸易、稳定、金钱、我们这个时代的和平。
Their reasons sounded so respectable: trade, stability, money, peace in our time.
但历史记得他们是道德真空的机会主义者，他们看着一个吞噬邻国的暴君，却只看到一件事：一个商业伙伴。这听起来熟悉吗？
But history remembers them as morally vacuous opportunists who looked at a tyrant devouring his neighbors and saw only one thing: a business partner. Sound familiar?
周五，唐纳德·特朗普给普京打了电话——普京总是玩弄他——并解除了对俄罗斯柴油的制裁。白宫称这笔交易将降低加油站的油价。事实并非如此。首批货物约为220万桶。美国每天消耗的石油量超过这个数字。
On Friday, Donald Trump got on the phone with Putin, who always plays him, and lifted sanctions on Russian diesel. The White House says the deal will lower prices at the pump. It won’t. The first shipment is about 2.2 million barrels. America burns through more than that every day.
它所做的只是为恐吓为国家、为孩子生命而战的乌克兰人——是的，也是为我们自由而战的乌克兰人——的导弹、无人机和滑翔炸弹提供资金。即便是共和党参议员也在要求特朗普扭转这一局面。
What it will do is bankroll the missiles, drones, and glide bombs that terrorize Ukrainians fighting for their country, their children’s lives, and, yes, our freedom. Even Republican senators are demanding that Trump reverse course.
然而这位软弱的总统仍在效仿克里姆林宫，攻击乌克兰的自由战士，并呼吁在基辅产生新的领导层。我们确实需要新的领导人，总统先生。但不是在乌克兰。
Yet this weak president keeps aping the Kremlin, attacking Ukrainian freedom fighters, and calling for new leadership in Kyiv. We do need new leadership, Mr. President. But not in Ukraine.
温莎公爵最终成了一个脚注，一个穿着华丽西装的警示故事，永远被分配到英国历史的垃圾堆里。你终于做正确事情的时间所剩无几。停止向普京低头。开始履行你的职责。
The Duke of Windsor ended up a footnote, a cautionary tale in a fancy suit, forever assigned to the dustbin of British history. Your time to finally do the right thing is running out. Stop bowing down to Putin. Start doing your job.
来源：盖洛普于2026年9月1日至17日对1000名美国成年人进行的民意调查。误差范围：±4个百分点威利·盖斯特谈JD·万斯对詹姆斯·塔拉里科的攻击：“这是投射。以这种方式谈论跨性别者和儿童，完全缺乏人性。这也完全转移了选民真正关心的问题：汽油和柴油的价格，以及这届政府发动的伊朗战争——而不是10名参加体育运动的跨性别者。”
Source: Gallup poll of 1,000 U.S. adults conducted Sept. 1-17, 2026. Margin of error: ±4 percentage points Willie Geist on JD Vance’s attack on James Talarico“It’s projection. It’s an utter lack of humanity to talk about trans people and children this way. And it’s a total distraction from what’s actually on voters’ minds: the price of gas and diesel and the war in Iran that this administration started — not 10 trans people who play sports.”
文·古普塔博士谈教皇的诊断：“这不是我们所期望的，但手术被作为首选方案进行，这是一个好迹象。切除他右肺的整个叶表明，他的医疗团队想确保他体内没有残留疾病。这种肺癌——腺癌——在非吸烟者中很常见，无论是由于二手烟、空气污染、职业暴露还是遗传史。基于我们目前掌握的信息，我预计他将完全康复。”
Dr. Vin Gupta on the pope’s diagnosis“This is not what we were expecting, but the fact that surgery was pursued as the first option is a good sign. Removing an entire lobe of his right lung suggests that his medical team wanted to make sure that he had no residual disease left. This form of lung cancer, adenocarcinoma, is common in nonsmokers, whether from secondhand smoke, air pollution, occupational exposures, or genetic history. Based on the information available to us today, I expect a full recovery.”
乔纳森·莱米尔谈斯蒂芬·米勒的ICE策略：“斯蒂芬·米勒仍然每周与国土安全部举行电话会议，敦促他们完成指标。是的，基础在减少，但响亮的声音说这是在11月动员选民的方式。特朗普一直在政治麻烦时反射性地加倍坚持硬线移民政策。就在几天前，警官在一辆后座坐着5岁孩子的汽车里开枪击中了某人。这令人心碎得无以复加。”
Jonathan Lemire on Stephen Miller’s ICE tactics“Stephen Miller still holds weekly conference calls with the Department of Homeland Security, urging them to meet their numbers. Yes, the base is dwindling, but loud voices say this is the way to turn out voters in November. Trump has always doubled down reflexively on hard-line immigration policies when he’s in political trouble. Just days ago, officers shot someone in a car with a 5-year-old in the back seat. It’s beyond heartbreaking.”
