Nye先生是哈佛大學(xué)肯尼迪政府學(xué)院的前任院長,曾一度出任過美國國家情報(bào)委員會(huì)主席,他在“軟權(quán)力”的推廣方面最為知名。“軟權(quán)力”與“硬權(quán)力”形成了有趣的對比:前者基于信仰和影響,而后者則基于強(qiáng)迫和武力。
【考情分析】
這句話精簡到“Mr. Nye is best known for promoting the idea of “soft power” ”就已經(jīng)可以了。過去分詞短語“based on persuasion and influences”作為后置定語,后面的“as a counterpoint to “hard power” ”也是對前面的“the idea of “soft power” ”作補(bǔ)充說明。
