Day 19 神句+逻辑导图

2.Thucydides Trap:修昔底德陷阱
指一个新崛起的大国必然要挑战现存大国，而现存大国也必然来回应这种威胁，这样战争变得不可避免。此说法源自古希腊著名历史学家修昔底德的观点，他认为，当一个崛起的大国与既有的统治霸主竞争时，双方面临的危险多数以战争告终。雅典和斯巴达的战争之所以最终变得不可避免，是因为雅典实力的增长，以及这种增长在斯巴达所引起的恐惧。2014年1月22日，《世界邮报》创刊号刊登了对中国国家主席习近平的专访。针对中国迅速崛起后，必将与美国这样的旧霸权国家发生冲突的担忧，习近平在专访中说，我们都应该努力避免陷入“修昔底德陷阱”，强国只能追求霸权的主张不适用于中国，中国没有实施这种行动的基因。

关于文章:
作者先描述了中国过去的传统外交策略：即邓小平提出的“韬光养晦”，在国际舞台上保持低调。而近年来，中国领导人在国际社会频频发声，甚至提出希望引导建立更为公平合理的国际秩序，这是否意味着中国开始挑战美国的全球领导地位？
接着作者例举了近期火热的“中国方案”一说，并与邓小平时期提出的“中国模式”加以对比，发现前者更进取，覆盖面不仅涉及发展中国家，更是面向全球。
而后作者笔锋一转，解释到中国无意突破现有机制，只想在现有框架下发挥更大作用，并附带提到中国国内臃肿的官僚机制也不允许外交政策出现剧烈变化。
文末，作者画龙点睛，将中国在气候变化问题上的积极举措作为“中国方案”的典型案例凸显出来，并借外交官之口道出这一切转变背后可能的缘由。
龟兔赛跑，乌龟胜出毫无悬疑，作者态度一目了然。
