It was a thrilling time. China was emerging from isolationism and poverty, and as we looked to the future we studied democracy, market economics, equality and other ideals that made America great. But after years of watching Americas wars overseas, reckless economic policies and destructive partisanship — culminating in last years disgraceful assault on the U.S. Capitol — many Chinese, including me, can barely make out that shining beacon anymore. The shift in Chinese attitudes wasnt a given. But when U.S.-led NATO forces mistakenly bombed the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, Serbia, in 1999 during the Kosovo war, our idolizing of America began to wane. In 2008, China had to defend itself against the consequences of American greed when the U.S. subprime lending fiasco touched off the global financial crisis. The sense of America as a dangerous force in the world has filtered into Chinese public attitudes as well. Chinese students still want to study at U.S. universities but are acutely fearful of American gun violence, anti-Asian attacks or being labeled a spy. They are sent off with ominous advice: Dont stray from campus, watch what you say, back away from conflict. None of this is meant to gloat over Americas troubles; a strong, stable and responsible United States is good for the world. And we have a lot in common. Solving some of the planets biggest problems requires that we work together. But that doesnt mean following America over the cliff. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.thrilling [?θr?l??]adj. _______________________________ 2.emerge [??m??rd?]v. _______________________________ 3.isolationism [?a?s??le???n?z?m]n. _______________________________
