A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
战争
War
I will not play tug o' war. I'd rather play hug o' war. Where everyone hugs instead of tugs, Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug, Where everyone kisses, and everyone grins, and everyone cuddles, and everyone wins.
我不玩拔河。我宁愿玩拥抱战争。每个人都拥抱而不是拖曳，每个人都咯咯笑着在地毯上打滚，每个人都亲吻，每个人都笑着，每个人都拥抱，每个人都赢了。
An offensive war, I believe to be wrong and would therefore have nothing to do with it, having no right to meddle with another man's property, his ox or his ass, his man servant or his maid servant or anything this is his.
我认为这是一场进攻性的战争，我认为这是错误的，因此与战争无关，我无权干涉他人的财产、牛或驴、仆婢或任何属于他的东西。
What a country calls its vital economic interests are not the things, which enable its citizens to live, but the things, which enable it to make war. Petrol is more likely than wheat to be a cause of international conflict.
一个国家所谓的重要经济利益，不是使其公民能够生存的东西，而是使其能够发动战争的东西。汽油比小麦更有可能成为国际冲突的原因。
If this war is not fought with the greatest brutality against the bands both in the East and in the Balkans then in the foreseeable future the strength at our disposal will not be sufficient to be able to master this plague.
如果这场战争不是以最野蛮的方式在东方和巴尔干地区对这些团伙进行的，那么在可预见的将来，我们所拥有的力量将不足以控制这场瘟疫。
When you talk about war on poverty it doesn't mean very much; but if you can show to some degree this sort of thing then you can show a great deal more of how people are living and a very great percentage of our people today.
当你谈论向贫困宣战时，它并没有多大意义;但是，如果你能在某种程度上展示出这类东西，那么你就能更多地展示出人们的生活方式，以及我们今天人口的很大一部分。
We took away their country and their means of support, broke up their mode of living, their habits of life, introduced disease and decay among them and it was for this and against this they made war. Could anyone expect less?
我们夺走了他们的国家和生活来源，打破了他们的生活方式和生活习惯，给他们带来了疾病和腐败，他们就是为了这个而战，为了这个而战。有人能期望更低吗?
Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living. We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount.
我们的世界充满了核巨人和道德婴儿。我们对战争的了解多于对和平的了解，对杀戮的了解多于对生活的了解。我们掌握了原子的奥秘，拒绝了登山宝训。
I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
我发誓，无论何时何地，只要有人忍受痛苦和羞辱，我绝不保持沉默。我们必须始终站在任何一方。中立帮助压迫者，而不是受害者。沉默鼓励受折磨的人，而不是受折磨的人。
We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
我们将不惜一切代价保卫我们的岛屿，我们将在海滩上战斗，我们将在登陆场战斗，我们将在田野和街道上战斗，我们将在山上战斗;我们决不投降。
War is, at first, the hope that one will be better off; next, the expectation that the other fellow will be worse off; then, the satisfaction that he isn't any better off; and, finally, the surprise at everyone's being worse off.
战争最初是希望人们生活得更好;其次，预期另一个人的境况会更糟;然后，他没有变得更好的满足感;最后，每个人的境况都在恶化，这让我很惊讶。
Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey 'people.' People say different things: so do instincts. Our instincts are at war... Each instinct, if you listen to it, will claim to be gratified at the expense of the rest.
告诉我们要服从本能就像告诉我们要服从人一样。人们会说不同的话，直觉也是如此。我们的本能处于战争状态…每一种本能，如果你听从它，都会声称以牺牲其他本能为代价而得到满足。
Since the outbreak of war, there has been in our country a steady increase in the consumption of spirits, wine and beer. It is estimated that in dollar volume, the annual outlay is now practically double what it was before the war.
战争爆发以来，我国烈性酒、葡萄酒和啤酒的消费量一直在稳步增长。据估计，以美元计算，现在每年的开支几乎是战前的两倍。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
All forces are a deterrent to and would be employed in a general war. Most of our forces could be employed in a limited war, if required.
所有部队都是一种威慑力量，并将在一场全面战争中使用。如果有必要，我们的大部分部队可以投入有限的战争。
Everyone's a pacifist between wars. It's like being a vegetarian between meals.
战争期间人人都是和平主义者。就像在两餐之间吃素一样。
I can not believe that war is the best solution. No one won the last war, and no one will win the next war.
我不相信战争是最好的解决办法。没有人赢得最后一场战争，也没有人会赢得下一场战争。
Probably the battle of Waterloo was won on the playing-fields of Eton, but the opening battles of all subsequent wars have been lost there.
滑铁卢战役很可能是在伊顿公学的操场上打赢的，但后来所有战争的首场战役都在那里输掉了。
