Sentence TranslationUnit 11．The destruction of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center made a symbolic statement that reverberated around the world, and the fact that people could watch the event on their television sets endowed it with an emotional impact that no terrorist act had ever achieved before.世贸双子塔的毁灭，是一个象征性的声明，震动全球；而人们可以在电视上观看此事件又使得它对人们造成的情感冲击超过以往任何恐怖行为。

2．Even so, September 11 could not have changed the course of history to the extent that it has if President Bush had not responded to it the way he did. He declared war on terrorism, and under that guise implemented a radical foreign-policy agenda whose underlying principles predated the tragedy.即便如此，如果布什总统没有做出那种回应的话，9.11事件原本不可能达到如此的改变历史进程的程度。

他向恐怖主义宣战，并根据该幌子实施了激进的外教政策议程，其核心思想此前早已酝酿好3．Before September 11 the ideologues were hindered in implementing their strategy by two considerations: George W. Bush did not have a clear mandate (he became President by virtue of a single vote in the supreme Court ) , and America did not have a clearly defined enemy that would have justified a dramatic increase in military spending.9.11之前，理论家在执行他们的策略时受到阻碍，主要基于以下两方面的顾虑：布什没有一个明确的施政目标（他在最高法院凭借单票当选总统）；美国没有一个明确的敌人以使军费开支急剧增加合理化。
