“上帝保佑美国。”美国人经常如此祈祷,其实,一年以来——也就是在去年9月11日美国遭到恐怖袭击后,真正一直“保佑”着美国、保卫着美国的不是上帝,而是高科技——面部识别系统、高科技身份证、各种新型探测装备现在均已“上岗值勤”,美国人正在依靠它们来增强防卫,以免再遭恐怖袭击。

“God blesses the United States.” The Americans often pray like this. Actually, for a year—that is, after the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11 last year, it was not God who had “blessed” the United States and defended the United States. It is high-tech – facial recognition systems, high-tech ID cards, and various new types of detection equipment are now “on duty”, and Americans are relying on them to enhance their defense so that they will not be subjected to terrorist attacks.
