Dear William,

謝謝寄來參考文章。或者，看完該文之後，
我們會想到：今日世界中的真正問題，其實
是甚麼。東方、中方、西方，從腦偏向到
內外偏向，問題不少呢。

Leechard,

Chris patten now outline a picture of world in 2009 in his article in project-syndicate.

Project Syndicate is an organisation that collects many articles from well-known observers and analysts and distribute them to all media sources in every quarter of world. For many years, Chris has written many articles to project syndicate Among all articles published, i found that this article the most interesting one. This is why i decide to recommend you to read.

With his excellent observation, and his wonderful analysis, Mr patten has provided us an insight into 2009 world affairs. Background of 2009, as he points, is that many far-reaching changes in water and energy usage, world-population, and carbon dioxide emissions have great impact on our society. Environmental conservation, Western economy revitalisation, Elder-young balance, are the main factors affecting events happening in world stage. And in Chris's view,only US, under Obama leadship, can lead the world to solve all these problems.
