类似的还有20世纪的两位美国总统 — — 伍德罗·威尔逊和小布什 — — 他们都擅长阐述一个宏大的外交政策远景，但当这些远景在实施中遇阻之时，却又不善于重新界定和修改远景。
Similarly, two twentieth-century US presidents, Woodrow Wilson and George W. Bush, were good at articulating an ambitious foreign-policy vision, but were poor at refining and reshaping their vision when they encountered implementation challenges.
