We shipped a gym over to Bulgaria, says Mark Twight - former world-class alpinist and founder of Gym Jones, the Utah-based training facility that's become synonymous with hard work, inventive unpleasantness and getting actors into Adonis-like shape for Hollywood movies. It had everything you could imagine - a couple of portable squat racks, three regular barbells and a fat bar, a set of kettlebells running up to 40kg, dumbbells ... about 6,000lb[2,722kg] of gear. Shipping the gym was consistent with our idea of environmental control - set up the right environment, and the right result is more likely to happen.

Results, of course, are what Gym Jones is all about. When Twight and his team got the call to train the cast of the original 300, they decided to turn the actors into athletes and let aesthetics follow. The cast and stunt team trained together, ate together and suffered together for five days a week, sticking to a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet while swinging kettlebells and deadlifting shirtless to encourage dedication. Director Zach Snyder led the charge, often finishing his workout while the stars were still getting out of bed.

Hot girls on a yacht is a little bit of a no brainer, isn't it? Which is precisely why we picked hot girls from three continents and invited them aboard a yacht off the Mumbai coastline to celebrate the onset of summer. Still need a reason why April is the best month on the calendar?

Ginevra
Standing on the other side of the aisle, she's heard our talk about selfies. The Italian beauty is leaning over the staircase that goes up to the deck in an aqua blue bikini pursuing her bright red lips and working her iPhone to get the best light for her selfie. "I loooove taking a selfie, and with my girlfriends it's every better! It doesn't matter where I am - during a job, during an event, in office, on a shoot, at a party or at home! My last selfie was just a hours ago!," she adds laughing.
Ginevra grew up on the coast of a beautiful lake in Italy. Turns out it's the same one where Top Gear shot their by now famous episode dissing Italian driving.

"Everyone doesn't drive quite as badly as that in Italy," she protests.
We ask her what her tattoo denotes - she has one on the side of her ribs - a popular inking spot among hot women like Angelina Jolie, Megan Fox and others. "It's a prayer written in Italian for my father. He taught it to me when I was 7 or 8 years old. It says: my guardian angel, protect me from every evil/bad thing. His name is Angelo (angel in Italian) and he is my guardian angel." "I have two more", she says, turning around and parting her hair to one side to reveal a tiny tattoo on her neck. "This one was made by a Buddhist monk in Thailand with a bamboo stick... it was very painful. And this one (she turns her wrist and points to a ladybug tattoo) is for goo luck and also because at that time everywhere I went, I was surrounded by ladybugs!"

But the tattoos aren't the only smashingly hot thing about Ginevra. Apart from the fact that she looks like she does in these pictures - she has a last name that's nothing short of legendary - Leggeri.
"I love the beach and love to spend my time swimming in the sea, but I don't really like getting tanned because I burn really , really fast," she laughs as she rushes into the shade after a shot, "I'm always running away from the sun."

The fate of Obama’s health-care law may rest with one man.
As of now, Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy is the most pivotal health-care-policy thinker in America. Following district court Judge Roger Vinson’s Jan. 31 ruling that declared President Obama’s health-care-reform law unconstitutional, the plan has a solid 2–2 record in the federal courts: two district judges have ruled for it and two against. The odds are very good that it will eventually wind up in the Supreme Court. And once it gets there, odds are the bill’s fate will come down to one person: Justice Kennedy.

But probably not. Health-care reform is likely to come down to Kennedy—in particular, his views on the so-called individual mandate, which requires all those who can afford it to purchase health insurance. And here’s the irony of the whole thing: the individual mandate was a policy that Democrats adopted precisely in order to attract moderate Republicans like, well, Anthony Kennedy. If it gets rejected, what’s likely to come next is going to be a whole lot less congenial to conservatives.

"Health care is unlike other commodities," Walter Dellinger, who served as solicitor general to Bill Clinton, told the Senate Judiciary Committee last week. "There is nothing else in our economy where an individual who has made no preparation can go in and get $1 million of goods and services passed on to them at taxpayer expense. "That means it struggles with free riders: people who would have society pay for their care, rather than pay for it themselves.

Considering that anxiety makes your palms sweat, your heart race, your stomach turn somersaults, and your brain seize up like a car with a busted transmission, it’s no wonder people reach for the Xanax to vanquish it. But in a surprise, researchers who study emotion regulation—how we cope, or fail to cope, with the daily swirl of feelings—are discovering that many anxious people are bound and determined (though not always consciously) to cultivate anxiety. The reason, studies suggest, is that for some people anxiety boosts cognitive performance, while for others it actually feels comforting.

In one recent study, psychologist Maya Tamir of Hebrew University in Jerusalem gave 47 undergraduates a standard test of neuroticism, which asks people if they agree with such statements as “I get stressed out easily.” She then presented the volunteers with a list of tasks, either difficult (giving a speech, taking a test) or easy (washing dishes), and asked which emotion they would prefer to be feeling before each. The more neurotic subjects were significantly more likely to choose feeling worried before a demanding task; non-neurotic subjects chose other emotions. Apparently, the neurotics had a good reason to opt for anxiety: when Tamir gave everyone anagrams to solve, the neurotics who had just written about an event that had caused them anxiety did better than neurotics who had recalled a happier memory. Among non-neurotics, putting themselves in an anxious frame of mind had no effect on performance.

In other people, anxiety is not about usefulness but familiarity, finds psychology researcher Brett Ford of the University of Denver. She measured the “trait emotions” (feelings people tend to have most of the time) of 139 undergraduates, using a questionnaire that lists emotions and asks “to what extent you feel this way in general.” She then grouped the students into those characterized by “trait fear” (those who tended to be anxious, worried, or nervous), “trait anger” (chronically angry, irritated, or annoyed), and “trait happy” (the cheerful, joyful gang). Six months later, the volunteers returned to Ford’s lab. This time she gave them a list of emotions and asked which they wanted to experience. Not surprisingly, the cheerful bunch wanted to be happy. But in a shock for those who think anyone who is chronically anxious can’t wait to get their hands on some Ativan, those with “trait fear” said they wanted to be worried and nervous—even though it felt subjectively unpleasant. (The “trait angry” students tended to prefer feeling the same way, too.) Wanting to feel an emotion is not the same thing as enjoying that emotion, points out neuroscientist Kent Berridge of the University of Michigan, who discovered that wanting and liking are mediated by two distinct sets of neurotransmitters.

In some cases, the need to experience anxiety can lead to a state that looks very much like addiction to anxiety. “There are people who have extreme agitation, but they can’t understand why,” says psychiatrist Harris Stratyner of Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. They therefore latch on to any cause to explain what they’re feeling. That rationalization doubles back and exacerbates the anxiety. “Some people,” he adds, “get addicted to feeling anxious because that’s the state that they’ve always known. If they feel a sense of calm, they get bored; they feel empty inside. They want to feel anxious.”Notice he didn’t say “like.”

Forget the Marlboro man: China is the world’s cigarette king. The mainland produces—and consumes—more tobacco products than any other country in the world. The China National Tobacco Corporation (CNTC), the state-run cash cow that holds an effective monopoly on the industry, is a source of good business for the party: in 2010, Big Tobacco paid 498.85 billion yuan (around $75 billion) in taxes to the Chinese government, according to the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration. More than 300 million Chinese adults smoke—among them more than half of all Chinese men. In 2009, the CNTC says, it produced a whopping 2.3 trillion cigarettes.
- Marlboro에 광고에 등장하는 멋진 남자는 잊으세요. 중국은 세계 담배 1위국입니다. 중국본토는 세계에서 가장 많은 담배 생산과 소비를 합니다. 국가가 운영하는 고수익 사업인 중국국영담배공사는 담배독점권을 쥐고 있으며, 중국 공산당을 위한 멋진 사업입니다. 2010년, 국영담배독점국에 따르면 Big Tobacco는 세금으로 4,988.5억(750억 달러) 유안을 중국정부에 바쳤습니다. 중국 남성의 반 이상인, 3억 이상의 성인들은 흡연을 합니다. 2009년에 CNTC는 엄청난 2.3조개의 담배를 생산했다고 밝힙니다.
But all this puffing is sparking serious public-health questions, and experts are now questioning if short-term profits will soon be outweighed by long-term health costs to the state. The World Lung Foundation (WLF) estimates a million people will die from tobacco-related illness in China this year, a toll that’s expected to double by 2020. So far there’s been little oversight of the industry: the Monopoly is, in essence, responsible for tobacco-control efforts. As the WLF’s Dr. Judith Mackay says, it’s been “a bit like putting a fox in charge of a chicken coop.”
- 그러나 모든 이 흡연은 심각한 공중보건의 문제를 유발하고 있고, 전문가들은 오늘날 단기간의 세금수익은 국가에 대해 장기적인 건강비용에 곧 추월당할 것이라 의문을 제기하고 있습니다. 세계폐질환재단(WLF)는 올 한해에 중국에서 약 백만 명이 담배관련 질병으로 사망할 것이라고 예측합니다. 이 희생자 수는 2020년엔 2배로 될 것 같습니다. 지금까진 담배산업은 거의 통제가 되고 있지 않습니다: 독점이란 원래 담배통제 노력이 수반되어야하는 것입니다. WLF의 Judith Mackay박사는 이것은 여우에게 닭장을 맡기는 격이라 말합니다.

No longer. Along with a team of researchers, Yang Gonghuan, the deputy director-general of China’s Center for Disease Control, has published a new report laying out how tobacco is a big drag on the country. Profits from producing cigarettes will fall far short of the eventual health costs of smoking-related illnesses, says Gonghuan. By the report’s estimation, cigarette-industry revenue accounts for some 6.7 percent of Beijing’s income. By contrast, the report states that tobacco “overall poses a loss rather than a benefit to China,” and other research puts estimated costs from tobacco at about 25 percent more than the revenue generated by the industry.
- 중국도 이제 심각함을 깨달았습니다. 중국 질병통제 센터에서 한 연구팀을 이끌고 있는 심의관인 Yang Gonghuan씨는 담배가 중국발전에 큰 장애가 된다는 것을 알리는 새로운 보고서를 출간했습니다. 그는 또한 담배생산으로 발생하는 수익은 흡연관련 질병의 궁극적인 치료비용을 감당할 수 없을 것이라 말합니다. 그 보고서의 평가에 따르면, 담배산업 수익은 베이징당국의 수익의 약 6.7%에 달한다 합니다. 이와 반대로, 그 보고서는 담배가 중국에 이익을 주기 보다는 오히려 전반적으로 손실을 끼칠거라 언급하고 다른 연구는 담배산업으로 창출된 수익 보다 많은 약 25%가 담배인한 비용에 들것이라 말합니다.
- deputy director-general : (법률) 정책관(심의관) / a big drag : 큰 장애 / lay out : 펼치다, 투자하다, 질책하다, 계획하다
Experts say the report falls in line with a fledgling awareness of the dangers of tobacco across the country. But for now, deterrents like putting pictorial warnings on cigarette packs—which is working to curb smoking in Latin America—are a long way off. The public-health question for Beijing, then, is whether cashing in on tobacco now will bankroll the hospital beds that will have to be bought later.
- 전문가들은 그 보고서가 중국 전역에 담배위험의 첫 단계의 인식의 단추를 달았다고 말합니다. 하지만 현재로서 라틴 아메리카에서의 흡연 규제를 시행하고자 하는 담배 곽에 경고 그림을 부착하고자 하는 억지력은 아직 갈 길이 먼 것 같습니다. 그렇다면, 공중보건의 문제는 이제 담배수익을 차후에 분명히 일어날 질병에 재정을 지원할 것인가이다.

The biggest challenge to one of the world's most dangerous terrorist groups may now come from within.
The Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, which controls a chunk of Iraq and Syria the size of Britain, is facing pressing internal problems, according to multiple reports. The so-called caliphate's promises of Muslim unity have not stopped bitter disputes between foreign fighters and native Iraqis and Syrians.
"The key challenge facing ISIS right now is more internal than external," Lina Khatib, the director of the Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut, told The Washington Post. "We're seeing basically a failure of the central tenet of ISIS ideology, which is to unify people of different origins under the caliphate. This is not working on the ground. It is making them less effective in governing and less effective in military operations."
The core dispute in the organization is the preferential treatment that foreign fighters receive over their local counterparts.
Foreigners in the organization earn as much as twice as much pay as local fighters. Foreign fighters also receive nicer living accommodations in ISIS-controlled cities and are less frequently deployed to the frontline than their Syrian or Iraqi counterparts, The Wall Street Journal reports.
This alleged preferential treatment has bred resentment within ISIS as locals feel they take a larger share of the military risk. The disparity has actually led to violence between the groups within ISIS: Foreign fighters and Syrian militants had a shootout in the town of Abu Kamal on the Iraqi border following an order that deployed the Syrians to the Iraqi front line, The Post reports.
This treatment has led ISIS to lose support among ordinary Syrians, many of whom have always viewed ISIS, which has its origins in Al Qaeda's Iraqi franchise, as a foreign Iraqi force to begin with.
ISIS "was never popular, but people supported them because they were scared or they needed money," Ahmed Mhidi, a Syrian businessman who fled to Turkey, told The Post. "Now people want nothing to do with them, and if the Islamic State puts pressure on them, they just flee."
Foreign fighters are also reportedly disillusioned with the group.
Foreigners who come to join ISIS generally have little military experience and little interest in actually fighting. Many had instead hoped to take part in the creation of the caliphate, a project that some view as both an exciting political and social experiment, as well as a religious obligation. When these foreigners are forced to fight, many have tried to desert only to face execution at the hands of ISIS.
"Some of these fighters go to Syria to live off the welfare of Islamic State — get a house, a wife in exchange for some lowly [bureaucratic] position. But now they're being asked to fight, and they don't always want to," an unnamed European official watching the flow of foreign fighters told The Wall Street Journal.
ISIS is facing a concerted Iraqi, Kurdish, and Iranian-backed push to retake the majority-Sunni city of Tikrit in Iraq. The loss of the city, the birthplace of Saddam Hussein, would be a particularly damaging blow to the group: Tikrit would be the first major Sunni city to be won back from the jihadist group.
Despite these possible setbacks, ISIS remains a major force in the region. The militants still retain control of most of the territory the group seized in 2014, including Iraq's second-largest city, Mosul.
BEIJING — For years, soccer in China has been a source of national embarrassment. It is the sport Chinese often care about most but also one that infuriates them most. For years, the most impressive ability of the men’s team has been its knack of finding new ways to disappoint.
베이징 - 수 년 동안, 중국의 축구는 국가적인 수치의 근원이 되어 왔다. 중국인들이 종종 가장 관심을 쏟을 뿐만아니라, 그들을 가장 좌절하게 만드는 스포츠가 바로 축구이다. 수 년 동안, 남자 축구팀의 가장 인상적인 능력은 여러 새로운 방식들은 실망을 시키는 성향이 되어 왔다.
knack [næk] n. ① 숙련된 기술; 교묘한 솜씨〔기교〕; 좋은 생각; 호흡, 요령《of; for; in making ...》; 교묘한 응답 ② 버릇; 특성, 성향(性向)
Then came President Xi Jinping.
그때 자이 진핑 국가주석이 등장했다.
Before he even took office, Xi made clear his love of the game. Explaining his personal ambitions for China in 2011, he listed three, all soccer-related: To qualify for soccer’s World Cup, to host the event and, finally, one day to win it.
그가 취임하기 전, 자이는 자신이 축구광임을 분명히 밝혔다. 2011년 중국을 위한 개인적 야망을 설명하면서, 그가 열거한 3개가 모두 축구와 관련된 것이었다. 첫째는 월드컵에 참가하는 것, 월드컵을 개최하는 것, 마지막은 월드컵에서 승리의 날을 보는 것이라 말했다.
Since then, Xi has quickly become China’s most powerful and feared leader in decades. And now, officials from the central government to the lowliest provinces are falling over themselves to demonstrate their own love for soccer and to find ways of improving their country’s play.
그때 이후, 자이는 수 십 년만에 등장한 중국의 가장 강력하고 무서운 지도자가 곧 되었다. 그리고 지금, 중앙정부에서 부터 가장 낮은 하위 지방 관리들에 이르기까지 그들 모두는 축구에 대한 열정을 보여주고 중국의 축구를 개선시키는 방법을 찾는데 혈안이 되고 있다.
In just the past few months, a high-level government working group has been set up to tackle the problem. Officials have declared soccer compulsory part of the national curriculum. About 20,000 soccer-themed schools are to open by 2017, with the goal of producing more than 100,000 players. Study-abroad programs have been rolled out, as well as initiatives to lure 35 international stars to China in the next year.
불과 지난 몇 달 후, 고위 정부 실무진은 그 문제를 해결하기 위해 구성되었다. 관리들은 국가적 이수과목으로서의 축구의 의무적 역활을 선언했다. 약 20,000개의 축구테마 학교가 2017년까지 세워질 예정이고, 100,000이상의 축구 선수들을 배출하기 위한 목표도 세워졌다. 해외연수 프로그램도 진행 중일 뿐만 아니라, 내년엔 35명의 국제 유명 축구선구도 영입할 계획도 진행 중이다.
Rumors have even circulated of a secret plan for soccer reform from the State Council, China’s equivalent of a presidential cabinet.
중국의 주석 각료회의와 동등한 위상의 국가 위원회로 부터 축구개혁에 관한 비밀 계획의 진행 중이라는 소문이 심지어 나돌지경이다.
All the attention and angst, of course, is about something bigger than soccer. To many here, the sorry state of Chinese soccer embodies all the problems and insoluble paradoxes China and its leader face.
모든 관심과 불안한 마음은, 물론, 축구 보다 더 큰 무언가에 관한 것이다. 이 곳 중국에서 많은 사람들에게 중국 축구의 유감스런 상황은 중국과 중국의 지도자들이 직면하고 있는 모든 문제거리와 풀 수 없는 모순을 구체화 시키고 있다.

To compete globally, China needs innovation and creativity, and yet the Communist Party insists on top-down obedience and conformity by edict.
세계적인 경쟁력 확보를 위해, 중국은 개혁과 창의성을 필요로 하고 있지만, 중국 공산당은 하향식 복종과 포고에 의한 복종만을 고집하고 있다.
Its government is hopelessly riddled with graft (a problem to which Xi has responded with the most ruthless anti-corruption campaigns in modern history).
중국정부는 부정이득으로 절망적으로 끽소리 못하고 있다. (자이가 현대 역사에서 가장 무자비한 반 부패청산 운동과 더불어 반응하고 있는 문제)

Runaway growth has afforded China resources, including money to plow into soccer development, foreign coaches and trainers, but the country has yet to figure out how to sustain that growth without creating more problems.
Soccer, in other words, taps into deep Chinese insecurities that — no matter what great leaps the country has made or grudging deference it has earned through economic or military might — China remains an inferior power.
As an editorial in China’s Southern Metropolis Daily newspaper framed it: Dreams have power, and the constant jarring reality of Chinese football threatens nothing less than the Chinese ability to dream of a more powerful nation.
Perennially losing
Most Chinese believe soccer was invented here, citing records from the 3rd century B.C. of a sport involving a hair-filled leather kickball.
To understand why soccer and its constant defeating sting are so deeply rooted in the Chinese psyche, you have to understand the country’s past, says Xu Guoqi, a Harvard-educated historian at the University of Hong Kong.
First, take into account centuries of feelings of emasculation at the hands of Western powers and the Japanese. (Curiously, the national hand-wringing mainly involves the men’s team; the women’s team often performs well to little fanfare.)
“For decades, Chinese interest in sports as a whole has not been about personal joy or pleasure but about politics,” Xu said. “It’s seen as a path to ruling legitimacy, geopolitical standing, projection of power.”
So just how bad is China’s soccer? Late last year, the men’s team wasranked 97th — a few spots behind the Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda (population 90,000) and not far ahead of northern Europe’s Faroe Islands (population 49,500).
In the past three decades, China’s men’s team has made it into the quadrennial World Cup tournament only once (in 2002, when the team quietly exited without scoring a single goal).
Anger over China’s perennial failures has incited riots — notable in a country where protests are illegal and met with brutal force. Fearful of that rage, the national team has at times posted online apologies after particularly bad games.
Its most ignominious was perhaps a 2013 loss to Thailand’s weak and even lower-ranked team. A Chinese mob afterward blocked the team bus from leaving and shouted obscenities at the players. A full-fledged riot soon ensued, in which at least 100 were injured.
Contributing factors
The puzzling thing is that China has all the necessary ingredients for a strong team, including a nationwide love for the sport and a vast population (1.4 billion) from which to draw talent.
Several new policies are intended at widening that pool. The 20,000 existing elementary, middle and high schools chosen nationwide for renovation into soccer-focused institutions will receive soccer fields, coaches and extensive funding and training. Few details have been released about the new curriculum and what may be sacrificed to make room for soccer during the day.
Advanced students will be sent to overseas campuses that China is setting up in Spain and the Netherlands.
In Beijing, soccer will even be added to the mandatory high school entrance exams, and every school will be required to include soccer in its physical education.
There is precedent for government-orchestrated success. When, during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, sports mattered politically, China’s Soviet-era methods netted a record haul of gold medals.
As a game, however, soccer works quite differently, many believe. For all the sport’s deep-seated problems, it is still much harder to rig, train or even dope your way to a championship. It is a social sport that requires both teamwork and individual creativity.
Some blame Chinese society, given how few parents in China’s competitive education system will allow their children to spend precious study hours kicking a ball.
A few sports analysts blame the political system. Speaking anonymously for fear of being known to have criticized the Communist Party, the analysts point out that few authoritarian or dictatorial countries have ever found success at the World Cup.
Doomed by success?
Xi’s public enthusiasm for soccer feeds into an everyman image that he has cultivated since he took power in late 2012 — a stark departure from China’s traditionally wooden leaders.
It comes with few risks — if Chinese soccer continues to fail, who can blame Xi? The upside, however, is infinite.
“It would mean leadership, legacy,” said Xu, the historian. “Xi is an ambitious man. If he pulls this off, he would be the hero of China.”
There already are glimmers of the pandemonium such success would bring.
Last month at the Asian Cup, China somehow won three games in a row. Although the team made it only to the quarterfinals, China’s state-run Xinhua News Agency called it a “fairy-tale run.” The players were hailed as heroes.
Some on Chinese social media said they were moved to tears. One blogger summed up the moment this way: “I can now die with no regrets.”
And party officials, of course, leapt to take credit. The anti-corruption agency Xi has unleashed upon thousands of terrified government officials declared it a direct result of its watchful eye on soccer officials.
When asked about this scramble to bask in Chinese soccer’s newfound glory, Ma Dexing sighed deeply. As deputy editor in chief of the popular sports magazine Titan, Ma has a distinctly different theory about the recent wins.
For years, China’s team has been performing so poorly that officials were reluctant to wreck their careers by becoming involved with it.
That brief respite from constant, misguided top-down management, Ma believes, is what has most helped improve Chinese soccer.
Ironically, he worries, the team’s recent success — combined with the sudden upsurge of government interest — spells only one thing for Chinese soccer: doom.
“The level of Chinese soccer is actually not that bad,” he insists. The problem is everything else that comes with it.

Revealed: Why China Would Lose a War against America
폭로 : 왜 중국은 미국과의 전쟁에서 패배할까?
Chinese military might have grown considerably. However, Beijing's weaknesses abound.
중국군은 상당히 발전한 것 같다. 그러나 베이징의 약점은 많다.
*abound [ǝbáund] vi. ① (동물·물건·문제 등이) 많이 있다.
Let’s not mince words: a U.S.-China war would be hell on earth.
It would likely start World War III. Millions— maybe billions— of people would dieif nuclear weapons were ever used in such a conflict.
The global economy would likely face ruin— that’s what happens when the world’s biggest economic powers start shooting at each other.
Thankfully the chances are remote it will ever happen. Yet, the threat of such a conflict remains thanks to the many different pressure points in the U.S.-China relationship.
Forget the challenge of ISIS, Ukraine, Syria or whatever the flavor of the moment is. The U.S.-China relationship— and whether it remains peaceful or not— is the most important challenge of our time. Period.
조심스레 말하지 말자: 즉, 미국과 중국의 전쟁은 이 지구상에서 참혹할 것이다.
그 전쟁은 3차 세계대전일 것이다. 수 백만 - 아마도 수 십억 - 사람들은 죽게 될 것이다.
만일 핵무기가 그러한 분쟁에 사용된다면, 세계 경제는 파멸에 직면할 가능성이 있을 것이다. - 세계 초 경제 강대국들이 서로에게 총을 쏟아대기 시작할 때 그런일은 발생한다.
다행히도 그럴 가능성은 거의 없다. 그러나, 미국과 중국의 관계에서 많은 다른 불안요인들로 인해 그러한 분쟁의 위협은 상존한다.
이슬람 극단세력, 우크라이나, 시리아 또는 지금 이 순간의 관심이 무엇이든 그런 도전을 잠시 접어두자. 미국과 중국의 관계는 - 그리고 그 관계가 평화적이든 그렇지 않든 - 우리가 사는 이 시대에 가장 중요한 도전이다. 마침표.

Several days ago I examined in a short piece on these digital pageshow China could do great damage to U.S. and allied military forcesin a war.
Thanks to over twenty years of large scale investments, the PRC has gone from being a third-rate military that could project very little offensive punch to arguably the second most powerful military machine on the planet.
And with an emphasis on weapons systems that embraceanti-access/area-denial military doctrine (A2/AD),China seems to be developing the toolsit needs if war with America did ever come to pass.
Beijing’s motto these days: be prepared.
몇 일 전에 이런 디지털 페이지에 있는 짧은 기사에서 어떻게 중국이 전시에서 미국과 연합군에게 큰 피해를 줄 수 있을지를 면밀히 검토했다.
20여년 이상의 큰 규모의 조사 덕분에, 중국인민해방군은 거의 방어할 수 없을 정도의 공격의 3등급 군사력으로 부터 아마 틀림없이 이 지구상에서 2번째로 가장 강력한 군사력으로 성장했다.
그리고 접근차단/지역거부 군사주의를 채택하고 있는 무기체계를 강조하는 중국은 만일 미국과의 전쟁이 진정 일어난다면 그에 필요한 무기를 개발하고 있는 것 같다.
베이징의 좌우명은 오늘날 유비무환이다.

This article examines the challenges China would face against the U.S. in a conflict -- but in a very broad, top-down, and practical sort of way.
이 기사는 분쟁시 - 단지 아주 폭 넓고, 하향식의 실질적인 일련의 방식에서 중국이 직면할 도전을 시험한다.
This time I will avoid the fun but sometimes easy to pick apart scenario-style type of analysis.
이번에 나는 분석의 개별적 시나리오형을 선택하기 위해 재밌지만 때때로 쉬운 것을 피할 것이다.
While Beijing certainly has the tools to get the job done when it comes to a war with Washington, the challenges China would face in such a conflict would be immense— and many of them could be quite basic.
베이징 당국이 워싱턴과의 전쟁에 돌입할 때 취해야 할 수단을 분명히 갖고 있는 반면, 그러한 분쟁에서 중국이직면할 도전은 어마어마할 것이다. - 그리고 그것들 중 많은 것들은 아주 기본적일 수 있다.
The PRC would be going to war against the premier military power on the planet— some would argue the most lethal fighting machine of all time.
중국인민공화국은 지구상의 가장 강력한 군사력에 대항하는 전쟁에 돌입할 것이다. - 어떤 이들은 내내 가장 치명적인 전투가 될 것이라 주장할 것이다.
In this essay we will review some of the important foundational reasons why many argue, quite convincingly, that the U.S. would very well defeat China in a war.
이 수필에서 많은 사람들이, 아주 납득할만하게, 미국은 전쟁에서 기꺼이 중국을 패배시킬 것이라는 몇 몇 중요한 근본적 여러 이유들을 검토할 것이다.
A Great Mystery: Just How Good Is China’s Military Anyway?
큰 의문점 : 어쨌든 중국의 군사력은 얼마나 버틸까?
Yes, Beijing keeps cranking out those whizz-bang high-tech weapons of war like sausages.
그렇습니다, 베이징은 소세지와 같은 전쟁의 초고속 포탄 기술의 무기를 계속해서 만들고 있다.

It all looks really good— at least on paper.
이 모든 것들은 적어도 신문 지상에서는 진정 훌륭해 보인다.
When it comes to a war with the U.S. how well would Beijing be able to use all that stuff?
미국과의 전쟁이 발발할 때, 베이징은 모든 그런 무기들을 얼마나 잘 활용할 것인가?
The real question seems pretty simple: yes, China is certainly developing all the military and technology goodies to field a potent force.
진정한 문제는 아주 단순한 것 같다: 그래요. 중국은 강력한 힘을 전개시키기 위해 모든 군사력과 기술적 근사한 것들을 분명 개발하고 있다.
field 전투배치를 시키다; (선수·팀을) 수비에 세우다; 경기〔전투〕에 참가시키다.
However, how well can it operate all that equipment in the pressure filled situation of a war? Sure, Beijing is certainly developing a world-class military, but can its soldiers operate all that equipment competently? Just how well trained are they? You can have the best military in the world but if you don’t know how to use it, well, you get the idea.
Opinions are mixed on this for sure. Ian Easton from Project 2049, in a piece for The Diplomat,reminds us of the possible capabilities, nature, and mission of the PLA— and its certainly not all about America:

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Model Defends Cover
동영상 강좌
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- If Nashville fans thought they'd be rubbing elbows with models clad in bikinis at Wednesday's celebration of the 2015 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, they were disappointed, as all the models were fully clothed.
- 만일 내쉬빌 팬들이 '2015 스포츠 일러스트레이트 수영복 호에 실린 수요일의 축하' 호에서 비키니를 입은 모델들과 친하다고 생각했다면, 모든 모델들이 완전한 옷차림을 했을 때, 그들은 실망했을 것이다.

But the issue's cover model - Hannah Davis - did address the backlash about her provocative photo, in which she's pulling her bikini bottom down - a pose some critics have suggested is, well, overly suggestive.
- 그 호의 표지 모델은 - 한나 데이비스 - 그녀의 도발적인 사진에 대한 반발에 관해 자신의 심정을 말했다. 그 사진 속에서 그녀는 비키니를 아랫쪽으로 내리고 있었다. 비평가들은 과도하게 외적적이라 평했다.

''There's controversy every year, so I think it's kind of just silly that they're making it out to be the big thing; I mean it's the swimsuit issue,'' Davis said. ''There are far more scandalous pictures in the magazine if you open it up. It's a girl in a bikini, and I think it's empowering; I've been hearing it's degrading. I think the people who are saying that aren't feminists, because I think when you're a woman and you look at that picture and if you overanalyze it as anything more than just a full picture, it's just silly to me.''
- "매년 논쟁거리가 있죠, 그래서 그것을 큰 일로 삼는 것은 약간 어리석은 일이라 생각해요; 저는 그것은 수영복 잡지일 뿐이라 생각해요" . "당신이 책을 펼치면, 그 잡지 속에는 훨씬 더 많은 수치스런 사진들이 있죠. 비키니를 입고 있는 여자죠. 저는 능력이 있는 포즈라 생각합니다; 품위가 없다는 얘기를 듣고 있죠. 그렇게 말하는 사람들은 여권 신장론자는 아닙니다. 왜냐하면 당신이 여성이고 그 그림을 보았을 때 그리고 만일 그것을 그림 이상으로 과대 분석한다면, 저에게는 단지 어리석게 보일 뿐이죠."

Fellow model and Nashville resident Lily Aldridge spoke up for her friend. ''I think people are totally overreacting over the cover,'' said Aldridge. ''It's a beautiful picture. Her bikini bottoms are in the perfectly placed position. It's fine. It's sexy and that's what Sports Illustrated is.''
- 동료 모델이자 내쉬빌과 함께 거주하는 릴리 알드리지는 자신의 친구에 관해 목소리를 높혔다. " 사람들은 그 표지에 아주 과민반을을 하고 있어요. 그것은 아름다운 그림이죠. 그녀의 비키니 아래쪽은 완벽하게 적당한 위치를 하고 있어요. 좋습니다. 섹시하고 그것이 바로 스포츠 일러스트레이트가 보여주고자 하는 것이니까요."
