English Summary/英文概要： The National Mall in Washington D.C. is one of the world’s great boulevards. Officially designated a national park, its tree-lined expanse runs from the Lincoln Memorial in the west to the Capitol in the east, punctuated by the Washington monument almost square in the middle.
It provides a grand setting for America’s great national institutions, museums, and memorials, and it is where over 24 million tourists come every year to bask in the glory that is the United States of America. It is also where a great many Americans come to complain about their government.
There have been thousands of rallies great and small over the years, but in October 2010, the National Mall was the scene of perhaps its most peculiar event to date. On the day before Halloween, close to a quarter million Americans gathered, not for civil liberty or equal rights, and not to oppose the war or to support the troops. Instead, they rallied for sanity.
Led by Jon Stewart, host of the satirical news program The Daily Show, the rally was intended as a call for more reasoned discussion in American politics, outside the cacophony of partisan extremism that dominates America’s news media. And while Stewart insisted that the rally was not a partisan event, it was widely interpreted as a response to the Reclaiming Honor rally hosted two days earlier by then-Fox News personality Glenn Beck. Intended or not, the Rally to Restore Sanity quickly turned into a mass protest against the extreme craziness that had erupted on the American political scene after the election of Barack Obama.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 位于华盛顿特区的国家广场有着全世界最宏伟的林荫大道。由于其设计时便被官方定义为国家公园，其游览线路从位于西边林肯纪念碑一直延伸至位于东部的国会大厦，这一线路在中间部位则由华盛顿纪念碑分隔。
这里有许多美国的国家级机构、博物馆和纪念碑，而每年更是有多达2400万旅游人次前来观光，以瞻仰美利坚合众国极其历史荣耀。同时，无数的美国人来到这里表达他们对于政府的不满与抗议。多年来，国家广场上进行了一次次大大小小的集会，然而2010年10月，她则见证了有史以来最特别的一幕。在万圣节的前夜，将近25万美国人聚集在这一广场之上，这一次，他们不为公民自由与权力平等，不为反对战争或是支持军队，相反地，他们为保持清醒与精神的健全而聚集。
这次的集会由著名讽刺新闻节目“每日秀”的主持人琼•斯图尔特发起和引导，目的是为了唤起美国政界能够进行更为理智的讨论，而不受那些掌控者美国新闻媒体的极端主义政客们不和谐之音的影响。尽管斯图尔特本人宣称这次集会绝非政党性事件，但人们却普遍将它解读为对两日前有福克斯新闻台格兰•贝克发起的“重申荣耀”集会的一种回应。不论其初衷究竟是什么，“重返理智”这一集会运动很快便演化为了一场大规模抗议，旨在反抗奥巴马总统当选后，已经在美国政界屡见不鲜的极端主义狂热浪潮。（DC）
