A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
战争
War
In this first testing ground of the atomic bomb I have seen the most terrible and frightening desolation in four years of war. It makes a blitzed Pacific island seem like an Eden. The damage is far greater than photographs can show.
在这第一个原子弹试验场，我看到了四年战争中最可怕和可怕的荒凉。它使一个被闪电击中的太平洋岛屿看起来像伊甸园。造成的损害比照片所显示的要严重得多。
I think he was explicit that it was a slave labor situation, but I was not alarmed at that point, because there were so many tragedies involved in that war. That was the first time I had any indication that something was sort of strange.
我认为他很清楚这是一个奴隶劳工的状况，但当时我并不惊慌，因为那场战争中有太多的悲剧。那是我第一次感觉到有什么奇怪的东西。
I believe that the freedom of speech should be protected, but so should a family's right to privacy as they grieve their loss. There is a time and a place for vigorous debate on the War on Terror, but during a family's last goodbye is not it.
我认为，言论自由应该受到保护，但一个家庭在为失去亲人而悲痛时，其隐私权也应该受到保护。对反恐战争的激烈辩论是有时间和地点的，但在一个家庭的最后告别时却不是这样。
I have seen war. I have seen war on land and sea. I have seen blood running from the wounded. I have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed. I have seen children starving. I have seen the agony of mothers and wives. I hate war.
我见过战争。我见过陆上和海上的战争。我看见血从伤兵身上流出来。我在泥里见过死人。我见过城市被毁。我见过孩子们挨饿。我看到了母亲和妻子的痛苦。我讨厌战争。
It's our tendency to approach every problem as if it were a fight between two sides. We see it in headlines that are always using metaphors for war. It's a general atmosphere of animosity and contention that has taken over our public discourse.
我们倾向于把每一个问题都当作是双方之间的斗争来处理。我们在标题中看到它总是使用战争的隐喻。这是一种普遍的敌意和争论的气氛，已经占据了我们的公共话语。
I grew up playing war. We threw dirt and rocks at each other. We'd lead attacks. We'd break up into squads. It became a neighborhood thing for a while, our neighborhood against the other neighborhood. There was always a war breaking out somewhere.
我在战争中长大。我们互相扔泥土和石头。我们领导的袭击。我们分成小队。有一段时间，我们的社区和其他社区发生了冲突。战争总是在某个地方爆发。
When I was at Hartford in Connecticut, where I lived during the war, I published several pieces which were well received, not only by those of my own colour, but by a number of the white people, who thought they might do good among their servants.
战争期间，我住在康涅狄格的哈特福德。我发表了几篇文章，不仅受到同我肤色的人的欢迎，而且受到一些白人的欢迎。
Lastly, the great uncertainty of all data in War is a peculiar difficulty, because all action must, to a certain extent, be planned in a mere twilight, which in addition not infrequently - like the effect of a fog or moonshine - gives to things exagg
最后，战争中所有数据的巨大不确定性是一个特殊的困难，因为在某种程度上，所有的行动都必须在黄昏的时候计划好，而且这种情况经常发生——就像雾或月光的影响一样——会使事情夸大
Those who have experienced the most, have suffered so much that they have ceased to hate. Hate is more for those with a slightly guilty conscience, and who by chewing on old hate in times of peace wish to demonstrate how great they were during the war.
那些经历过最多苦难的人，他们所遭受的苦难是如此之多，以至于他们不再仇恨。仇恨更多的是针对那些有轻微罪恶感的人，他们在和平时期咀嚼旧恨，希望展示自己在战争期间是多么伟大。
The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect, between life and death. When literature becomes too intellectual - when it begins to ignore the passions, the emotions - it becomes sterile, silly, and actually without substance.
文学的本质是情感与理智的战争，是生与死的战争。当文学变得过于理智——当它开始忽视激情、情感——它就会变得枯燥、愚蠢，而且实际上没有实质内容。
I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes.
我对战争的了解，是现在活着的人当中很少有人知道的，对我来说，没有什么比战争更令人反感的了。我长期以来一直主张彻底废除它，因为它对朋友和敌人的破坏性使它无法作为解决国际争端的一种方法。
Most fathers don't see the war within the daughter, her struggles with conflicting images of the idealized and flawed father, her temptation both to retreat to Daddy's lap and protection and to push out of his embrace to that of beau and the world beyond home.
大多数父亲都看不到女儿内心的斗争，看不到她与理想化的、有缺陷的父亲形象之间的冲突，看不到她既想退到父亲的怀抱中寻求保护，又想从父亲的怀抱中挣脱出来，拥抱博，拥抱外面的世界。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Though the object of being a Great Power is to be able to fight a Great War, the only way of remaining a Great Power is not to fight one.

Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.

Have you heard that it was good to gain the day? I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.
你听说了吗，赢得今天是件好事?我还说，失败是件好事，因为在胜利的同时，战斗也以同样的精神失败了。
