给埃及新统治者的9条建议

    拿出一些初步的成果。

    埃及人极度希望看到目前既可行，从许多方面来看又可取的一些基本的可交付成果。

    新的统治者需要做的是恢复街道的安全，清理影响人们生活的垃圾，解决停电问题，帮助城乡极度贫困人员。

    其中绝大部分可以由专注且负责任的政府通过修复一系列功能型关键公共服务项目完成。有一些则需要国外的资金和技术支持。

    最后，牢记埃及人备受赞誉的谦卑品格和强烈幽默感。

    只要在埃及待过的人一定会立马明白我指的是什么。来源于传统农户脚踏实地的善良，大多数埃及人能以令人钦佩的谦逊和幽默忍受大量的不公。

    古埃及时期，统治阶层把这个特点看成是不断压制和剥削大众的方法。然而在今天的埃及，它也可以提供强劲的动力，争取集体性的社会成就，包括从任何革命性道路上不可避免的坎坷中走出来，变得更加强大。（财富中文网）

    Deliver some early wins.

    Egyptians are desperate for some basic deliverables that are now feasible and desirable from many perspectives.

    The new rulers need to restore security in the streets, remove the garbage that has invaded many of them, deal with electricity outages, and address pockets of extreme deprivation and poverty in both urban and rural areas.

    Most of this can be done by a focused and committed government that restores a functioning set of key public services. Some will need foreign financial resources and know-how to supplement domestic efforts.

    Finally, never lose sight of Egypt's highly admired traits of humility and its robust sense of humor.

    Anybody who has spent time in Egypt will immediately know what I am referring to. Derived from the down-to-earth goodness of the traditional farmer (the "fellah"), most Egyptians are capable of tolerating a lot with admirable humbleness and humor.

    In the old Egypt, the ruling elites saw this as a way to continuously repress and exploit the masses. In today's Egypt, however, this can serve as a strong fuel for collective societal achievement, including emerging stronger from the inevitable potholes that lie on any revolutionary path.
