As Barack Obamas envoy to the world shedevoured great, thick binders on every subject imaginable, she writes in “Hard Choices”, a newmemoir published on June 10th. As she worked tirelessly to prepare for summits and officialtrips to 112 countries, she admired the expertise of her diplomats. Only one thing botheredher. A few months into the job she asked the State Department to be more creative withgraphics, after envying the flashier briefings carried by Pentagon brass. Soon, she beams: “there were plenty of coloured maps and charts to go around.” 　　希拉里·克林顿是这种简明手册的忠实粉丝。她在她6月10日出版的新回忆录《艰难抉择》中写道，作为奥巴马总统的代表出使全世界，她见多识广。在她不知疲倦地为她112国的峰会和出访做准备时，她还不忘对她的外交官表达钦佩。只有一件事让她烦心。入职几个月后，眼红五角大楼浮夸的简明手册，她要求国务院在制图上也能够更有创意一些。不久后，她终于能够笑得出来：“总算有足够多的彩色地图和图标了。” 　　Mrs Clintons 600doorstopper is full of this stuff: micro-revelations which are earnest,dull and self-serving, all at the same time. “Hard Choices” is a frustrating read. The memoirhas the cautious, polished, poll-tested feel of a campaign speech. A million copies have beenprinted. A multi-city speaking tour has begun. A first-day book-signing in Manhattan drew linesaround the block and hundreds of reporters. A large campaign-style bus idled outside. It wassent by “Ready for Hillary”, a ginger group that wants the former secretary of state, first lady,senator and presidential contender to run again for the White House in 2016. 　　克林顿夫人这本让人望而却步的600页自传中充满了这样的小故事—急切、无聊、自娱自乐却又无足轻重的爆料。《艰难抉择》会是一次让人挫败的阅读经历。这本回忆录就像一本小心翼翼、千锤万凿、经得住选民考研的竞选演讲。100万本印刷完毕，计划在多个城市的巡讲蓄势待发。第一天在曼哈顿的签售会吸引了长长的队和数百名记者。一辆庞大的竞选风格的巴士停在外面。它是由激进团体“为希拉里准备”(Ready for Hillary)赠送的，该团体支持入主白宫。 　　A press strat
