词汇 | the long telegram |
词源 | the Long Telegram. According to the New York Times (March 18, 2005), diplomat George Kennan (1904–2005) dis- patched “perhaps the best-known cable in American diplomatic history. It explained to policy makers baffled by Stalin that while Soviet power was ‘impervious to the logic of reason,’ it was ‘highly sensitive to the logic of force.’ The 8,000-word Long Telegram made Kennan famous.” |
