2·Yet satisfaction at such successes is mixed with frustration and an overwhelming feeling that naval deterrence is doing little more than prevent piracy from getting out of control.

4·Even deterrence, however, does not always work.

5·For a powerful but small country, in the midst of hostile peoples, deterrence means showing a readiness to fight, and to inflict enough death and destruction so that foes think twice about attacking.
对于一个强大但小,周围敌国林立的国家来说,威慑意味着表现出不畏战、不怕牺牲和不怕毁灭的精神,从而使得敌人在战前三思而行。
