近些日子，美国航母要来黄海军演的消息如一石激起千层浪，在我国朝野上下引起了极大的震动。我国军方和外交部已发言明确表示不欢迎美国航母来黄海军演，因为黄海离我国太近了，美国的航母可以像端详掌心一样研究我国沿岸的军备设施。

不熟悉中国近代史的美国人可能不知道，黄海其实也是中华民族的伤心之海。在 100 多年的 1894 年 9 月中旬，正是在黄海，日本海军重创清朝的北洋水师，从而揭开了中国对日作战 50 年不胜，割台湾等地，赔巨额钱款的历史序幕。可以说，今天的台湾问题正是源起于当年的黄海海战完败。

此次美航母来黄海军演的风声早就传出来了，但时间上一改再改，从六月到七月，美国航母如大家闺秀般，千呼万唤不出来，可能是在考量我方的反应再行斟酌。据报道， 韩联社 7 月 11 日援引韩国军方高级消息人士的话说，韩美当局已商定在 7 月内实施黄海联合军演，但美国航母是否参加军演 “ 尚未被确定 ” ， “ 韩美当局正就此进行商讨 ” 。现在看来， 美国航母到底还来不来，到底什么时候来，恐怕只有美国军方心里最清楚。

不过，美国航母虽然迄今为止还未现身，但美国海军的其它舰艇并未闲着，前几天，美国 《时代》杂志 (Time) 就报道说，三艘美军「俄亥俄」级核潜艇 6 月 28 日突然同时在亚洲东部和南部中国周边三个地方现身。分析人士指出，原本只在大洋中「神出鬼没」，三艘极少抛头露面的「俄亥俄」级核动力潜艇的「集体亮相」，旨在向亚洲各国尤其是中国展示美军在太平洋的实力依然强大得 “不容忽视”。这种核潜艇每艘可最多装载 154 枚战斧式 (Tomahawk) 巡航导弹，能以传统弹头攻击 1000 英里内的任何目标。

美国的网民们对此消息颇感兴趣，留言达三千多条。笔者庸人自扰，选择了一些有些代表性的留言与读者分享（以下英文为笔者直接 copy 而来，文字中的错字别词笔者概不负责，括号内中文部分为笔者的翻译或评论）：

1 ） The US has paid for the military expansion in Communist China by shipping all of our manufacturing jobs out of the country and buying EVERYTHING from Communist China! Here we are with millions unemployed, open borders, so called free trade deals and still running HUGE trade deficits. When are the American sheeple going to wake up and demand a stop tho this madness? （这位老兄认为美国为中国的军事发展买了单，美国则有了数百万人失业，和巨额贸易赤字。美国何时能警醒而不再做这种傻事？）

2 ） This has NOTHING to do with China. North Korea now thats another matter. （这和中国无关。目标在北朝鲜。）

3 ） It is called intimidation ! Now that the Chinese had been made to feel inadequate , they will take measures to save face . We may have started an arms race . You can expect Chinese submarines to give us a similar visit in the not too far future . （这是在恐吓！现在中国人一定感到受了侮辱，会想方设法挽回面子。我们也许已经开始了军备竞赛。可以想见的是，中国的潜艇会在不远的将来回访我们。）

4 ） Want to send a message to China.Our country can't do it with military might But we can as a country.Stop buying cheap Chinese products.When I was a kid we did everything the best.Come on people we are the greatest country ever.Be Proud BUY AMERICAN. （给中国传达信息不必用军事手段。停止买中国的便宜产品吧。在我小的时候，我们可以制造出任何最好的东西。以买美国货为骄傲吧。）

5 ） China will never be the villain or aggressor. They follow Sun Tzu's Art of War to the letter, they watch and react to situations, never strike first. They are already the world's super power, without firing a shot. Both economically and militarily. The U.S. needs to wake up, fix it's domestic problems, not be the World's police by spreading freedom (with bombs), then maybe we can get out of debt and be a productive nation. （中国永远不会是侵略者。他们遵循孙子兵法，审时度势，从不先发制人。他们不发一枪一弹，已经是世界上的超级大国，无论在经济上还是军事上。美国应该醒醒了，处理国内问题要紧。）

6 ） Good use of non-nuc SSBN's, nice placement and msg to China. USA is still the big boy on the block, despite the current administration. （用非核弹是个好主意。美国仍然是老大，尽管当前的政府不怎么样。）

7 ） Stop buying crap at WalMart that is made in China! War over! US wins! （停止买沃尔玛来自中国的便宜货吧！战争结束了！美国赢了！）

8 ） Most of us have no clues that the chinese navy have been aggressively & forcefully taken over small islands that belonged to Vietnam and aiming at other islands near the Philippines. These countries are begging for more U.S. naval presence. Howerver, U.S. ships are just like typical U.S. paper tigers, wandering around, popping up here and there and do nothing. The chinese have forced our C130 plane from the sky and took hostages and what did we do? Nil, Zip. The U.S. has already lost the cold war. The chinese is really doing "hot war" out there and no one could do anything about it. They can even buy an island if they want to. They have been looking to buy even our U.S. ports, knocking right at our doorsteps. ( 此君看来是美国愤青，对我国海军在南海的行动颇有微词，说美军是典型的纸老虎，转来转去，光说不练。 )

9 ） This is another feel good article, probably paid for by the pentagon. Americans love thinking other countries shiver at the thought of Americas military might.
Nothing could be farther from the truth. If you brag to the Chinese about Americas military might, they will politely but gleefully remind you that they kicked America’s sorry @#$% out of North Korea in 1953, and 22 years later, they kicked America’s sorry @#$% out of Vietnam.
Chinese also smile and remind you that in both instances, the American army declared victory while they were running towards home.
Chinese are quite capable of defending themselves and have no fear at all of the American army （此君看来比较清醒，他指出中国人会说早在朝鲜战争和越南战争中，中国人就取得了胜利。美国人在声称自己胜利的同时，跑回了老家。中国人有能力保卫自己，根本不怕美国军队。）

10 ） you guys dont understand media do you? its designed to scare you, presenting all stories in worse-case scenarios. China doesn't want war, we don't want war, I'm 14!!!! and even I know this, （媒体是来吓唬人的。中国不想要战争，我们也不想要战争。我才 14 岁，就知道这一点 --- 这个小孩还挺清醒的。）

11 ） The US Navy OWNS the Pacific!
Go US Navy! Good work! （美国海军拥有太平洋。美国海军大胆往前走吧！好样的！）

12 ） They won't kill us...we owe them too much money. （他们不会杀我们的。我们欠了他们太多的钱。）

13 ） I dont know what types of weapons world war 3 will be fought with, but world war 4 will be fought with sticks and stones ---Albert Einstein （此君留下了爱因斯坦说的话：我不知道第三次世界大战的交战者用什么武器，但是第四次世界大战将用棍棒和石头。）

14 ） Absolute insanity!
The Chinese must be laughing at our latest display of "Saber rattling".
China is definitely our greatest threat, and the country that will ultimately "conquer" us.
The way to beat to beat the US is no longer militarily; it is economically, and that is a war that we are losing badly.
Both Iraq and Afghanistan are economic disasters, with no solution in sight.
Worse yet; China is rapidly becoming the world''s Industrial Super Power with our willing assistance as American companies continue to establish Chinese based manufacturing ties, and provide the latest high tech data and knowledge.
We are truly being "sold out" from within.
The way to beat the US is to bankrupt us, and this is presently what is happening!

（纯粹是疯了！击败美国最好的方式不是军事，而是经济战。我们在经济战中正输得很惨。对我们来说，伊拉克和阿富汗是看不到尽头的经济灾难。而中国正在美国公司的帮助下迅速发展工业。打垮美国的方式是让我们破产，而这正是在发生的事实！）
