Thus began the " Great Game" , an entirely unnecessary competition for Afghanistan between Russia and Britain, conjured up by armchair polemicists in London.

这样一来，“大博弈”拉开了序幕，英俄两国对阿富汗展开了一场毫无意义的势力争夺，而这一切的始作俑者却是伦敦市内倚在扶手椅上夸夸其谈的辩论家们。

Originally published under a pseudonym, " Flight 93" was written by Michael Anton, a Claremont senior fellow and a skilled polemicist, schooled, as he has written, in making " public arguments that move politics."

《93 号航班》最初是以笔名出版的，作者迈克尔·安东是克莱蒙特的高级研究员，也是一名熟练的辩论家，他在进行 “推动政治的公开争论” 方面受过教育。
