A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
士兵
Soldiers
So the whole of war, when you look at it is probably run by professional soldiers, and the rest of them are just recruits, or people who are just forced to join the army.
所以整个战争，当你看到它的时候，很可能是由职业士兵管理的，而其他的士兵只是新兵，或者是被迫参军的人。
The soldiers that didn't come back were the heroes. It's a roll of the dice. If a bullet has your name on it, you're a hero. If you hear a bullet go by, you're a survivor.
没有回来的士兵是英雄。这是掷骰子的结果。如果子弹上有你的名字，你就是英雄。如果你听到一颗子弹飞过，你就是幸存者。
Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.
视卒如婴儿，故可与之赴深溪；视卒如爱子，故可与之俱死。
Soldiers and peasants lived together on friendly terms; they knew each other and their everyday routines, and trusted each other; they shook their heads together over the war.
士兵和农民友好地生活在一起;他们彼此了解，熟悉自己的日常生活，彼此信任;他们就战争问题一起摇头。
If our soldiers are not overburdened with money, it is not because they have a distaste for riches; if their lives are not unduly long, it is not because they are disinclined to longevity.
如果我们的士兵没有金钱负担过重，那并不是因为他们厌恶财富;如果他们的寿命不长，并不是因为他们不愿意长寿。
I'd like people to listen to our soldiers. They were there. They heard the alarms go off. They tasted the substance in the air. They spit up blood. They had rashes on their bodies. They got sick.
我想让人们听我们士兵的话。他们在那里。他们听到警报响了，尝到了空气中的味道。他们吐血。他们身上长了疹子。他们生病了。
If you hear, day after day, liberals are rooting against armed forces, that is eventually going to have an effect on soldiers and troops who are actually going to believe that and it's wrong. It's just wrong.
如果你日复一日地听到，自由主义者在反对武装力量，这最终会对士兵产生影响，而士兵们实际上会相信这是错误的。这是错误的。
Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.
领导力就是解决问题。当士兵不再把他们的问题带给你的时候，就是你不再领导他们的时候。他们要么对你的帮助失去信心，要么认为你不在乎。这两种情况都是领导力的失败。
We always knew how to honor fallen soldiers. They were killed for our sake, they went out on our mission. But how are we to mourn a random man killed in a terrorist attack while sitting in a cafe? How do you mourn a housewife who got on a bus and never returned?
我们总是知道如何向阵亡的士兵致敬。他们是为了我们而被杀的，他们执行了我们的使命。但是，我们如何悼念一个在咖啡馆里被恐怖袭击杀害的随机男子呢?你如何哀悼一位上了公共汽车却再也没有回来的家庭主妇?
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
These soldiers deserve a better defense secretary than the one we have.
这些士兵应该有一个比我们更好的国防部长。
Self-denial and self-discipline, however, will be recognized as the outstanding qualities of a good soldier.
然而，自我克制和自律将被认为是优秀士兵的杰出品质。
I write back to all the soldiers who write to me and send them posters and calendars.
我给所有给我写信的士兵回信，给他们寄海报和日历。
After all my years of playing soldiers, and then of reading History, I have almost a mania to be in the East, to see fighting, and to serve.
在我玩了这么多年的兵，然后又读了这么多年的历史之后，我几乎有一种狂热要去东方，去看战斗，去服役。
How can faceless bureaucrats in an intelligence agency deny brave soldiers a chance to tell the truth?
情报机构中那些不知名的官员怎么能拒绝勇敢的士兵说出真相的机会呢?
This conflict is one thing I've been waiting for. I'm well and strong and young - young enough to go to the front. If I can't be a soldier, I'll help soldiers.
这场冲突是我一直在等待的。我很好，很强壮，很年轻——年轻到可以上前线。如果我不能成为一名士兵，我将帮助士兵。
