  • Both assessments were unfair.
  • 两种评价都不算公正

  • 从艾森豪威尔指挥西方盟军抗战德国和意大利就可以看出
  • he knew the costs of war and he was determined to avoid them any way he could.
  • 他深知战争的代价,决意要尽其所能避免战争
  • Concerned with the spread of Communism, he would prop up client regimes like South Korea and South Vietnam,
  • 他很关注共产主义的传播,愿意支持像韩国和南越南这样的附庸政权
  • but he would not put up with international shenanigans on his allies' part, as happened during Suez Canal Crisis.

  • To my mind he is also one of America's grossly underestimated Presidents.
  • 在我看来,他也是美国总统中被严重低估了的一位
  • 3. The Red Scare, Part 2. The so called Red Scare of the 1950s was nothing new.
  • 第三,红色恐惧,第二部分。20世纪50年代所谓的红色恐惧已经不新鲜
  • An earlier Red Scare had seized America right after World War One, complete with communists and terrorist bombing attacks.
  • 一战过后,红色恐惧就已经笼罩了美国,当时由共产党和恐怖分子的爆炸袭击
  • While the United States was deporting supposed Communists to Russia, Communist Russia was deporting Western sympathizers over here.
  • 美国向俄国驱逐境内假定的共产党的同时,俄国也在将境内的西方支持者驱逐到美国
  • But the rooting out of Communists, real and supposed, reached its absurd and appalling peak during the early 1950s.
