US would require several divisions of troops plus supporting naval and air
forces to take and keep control over Island, a responsibility which we are not
prepared to assume
美国得生出几个师的军队跟海空支援资源来掌控这个岛,而美国不打算负这个责任
for time being any hope for independence lay with Nationalists not with
Communists, and thus measures designed weaken Nationalists merely served
increase chances Communist control, so Formosans must recognize facts, not
avoid them
所以福尔摩沙人必须面对现实而不是逃避现实
