short passage, and an ascent of seven steps, each of which was composed of a solid beam of oak, led him to the apartment of the Lady Rowena, the rude magnificence of which corresponded to the respect which was paid to her by the lord of the mansion. The walls were covered with embroidered hangings, on which different coloured silks, interwoven with gold and silver threads, had been employed with all the art of which the age was capable, to represent the sports of hunting and hawking. The bed was adorned with the same rich tapestry, and surrounded with curtains dyed with purple. The seats had also their stained coverings, and one, which was higher than the rest, was accommodated with a footstool of ivory, curiously carved.
No fewer than four silver candelabras, holding great waxen torches, served to illuminate this apartment. Yet let not modern beauty envy the magnificence of a Saxon princess. The walls of the apartment were so ill finished and so full of crevices, that the rich hangings shook to the night blast, and, in despite of a sort of screen intended to protect them from the wind, the flame of the torches streamed sideways into the air, like the unfurled pennon of a chieftain. Magnificence there was, with some rude attempt at taste; but of comfort there was little, and, being unknown, it was unmissed.

所以,在国家关系的战略层面,巴的政局变化,对中巴关系不会有实质性影响。中国不会干涉巴基斯坦内政,这是原则;但是中国希望巴基斯坦政局和国家有一个稳定的局面,只有这样巴基斯坦的经济才能大步发展,中国也会竭尽全力支持。可以说,“巴基斯坦稳定”和中国“竭尽全力支持”是挂钩的,这也可以说是中国独巴基斯坦的影响力所在。不稳定也没法发展经济,任何执政者都没法得到人民的拥护,这一点无论台上台下的都明白。再有死地印度经济快步再跑,巴基斯坦如果原地踏步,会有更深次危机。
这些制约因素决定,巴基斯坦如果没有外来势力的挑逗,政局不会剧烈起伏。现在是美帝在作梗,那么我们就要帮助巴基斯坦消解压力,顶得住站得稳。这个工作我们正在做,“谋万世之业”就是要使巴能够稳定,经济能有发展,人民能从中得到好处。
以目前国内的经济问题一大堆,如震后重建工作(估计需2/5年,5仟至8仟亿人民币资金),股市的恢复和振兴, 房地产的调控,教育的加大投入,经济结构的进一步提升,产业的升级等等。说实话, 中国还没有这个强大的`经济能力去帮助它国摆脱经济危机。看看80年代中南美洲的危机, 美国能做到什么程度就明白.看来, 这个忙帮的得法的话,中国和越南的关系有几十年的稳定.说是经济问题, 实质也是越南内部的政治方向问题.对中国是会带来切身的影响
