把这一句，留给此刻的你

Until the last great war, a general expectation of material improvement was an idea peculiar to Western man. Now war and its aftermath have made economic and social progress a political imperative in every quarter of the globe.

直到最后一次世界大战之前，对物质进步的普遍期望是西方人特有的观念。现在，战争及其后果使经济和社会进步成为全球每一个地区政治上的当务之急。
