中国认识到美国面临的巨大困难（事实上，中国对这一点的认识比美国本身更清晰 ） ， 而且鉴于目前在华盛顿占主导地位的有毒政治氛围，回归合理执政、经济稳定和强劲增长的健康状况其实并不容易。
China recognizes that America is in great difficulty (indeed, it recognizes this more clearly than the US itself), and that, given the poisonous political atmosphere prevailing in Washington, there will be no easy return to good government, economic stability, and strong growth.
