Pivotal：樞軸的，關(guān)鍵的
12月14日，美國(guó)總統(tǒng)布什為退休的四星級(jí)陸軍上將湯米·弗蘭克斯、前中情局局長(zhǎng)喬治·特尼特和前美國(guó)駐伊拉克首席行政官保羅·布雷默等三人頒發(fā)了代表國(guó)家最高榮譽(yù)的“總統(tǒng)自由勛章”，并稱他們是美國(guó)對(duì)伊政策的堅(jiān)強(qiáng)后援，“在諸多重大事件中扮演了關(guān)鍵角色，為維護(hù)國(guó)家安全和推進(jìn)人類自由事業(yè)不遺余力”。外電報(bào)道如下：President Bush awarded the nation's highest civilian honor Tuesday to three men central to his Iraq policy, saying they had played "pivotal roles in great events."
Bush presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom to retired Gen. Tommy Franks, who oversaw combat in Afghanistan and the initial invasion of Iraq, former CIA Director George Tenet and former Iraq administrator L. Paul Bremer.
Franks is a retired four-star Army general who commanded U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. He didn't decide until last summer to endorse Bush's re-election, but then spoke on the president's behalf at the Republican National Convention and campaigned for Bush through the fall.
Pivotal表示“樞軸的，中樞的，關(guān)鍵的”，例如，美國(guó)前國(guó)務(wù)卿基辛格（Henry A. Kissinger）曾說(shuō)過(guò)這樣的話：Its pivotal location has also exposed it to periodic invasions（其地點(diǎn)的重要性也使得它周期性地遭受侵略）。
