威胁
Menacing
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
现实政治的全部目的是通过无穷无尽的妖怪(全都是虚构的)威胁民众，让他们保持警惕(因此，他们大声疾呼，希望被带到安全的地方)。
In the country the darkness of night is friendly and familiar, but in a city, with its blaze of lights, it is unnatural, hostile and menacing. It is like a monstrous vulture that hovers, biding its time.
在乡村，夜晚的黑暗是友好而熟悉的，但在城市里，灯火通明，是不自然的，充满敌意和威胁的。它就像一只巨大的秃鹰在空中盘旋，等待时机。
