我们不得不回答这个问题,如果我们不给出答案,就无法使我们的战士回归那个属于他们的地方,社会。并且,如果不弄明白这个问题,也不可能阻止战争的发生。
The problem is that war does not have a simple, neat truth, one simple, neat truth.
问题是战争没有一个简单纯净的真理。
Any sane person hates war, hates the idea of war, wouldn't want to have anything to do with it, doesn't want to be near it, doesn't want to know about it. That's a sane response to war.
任何理智的人都憎恨战争,憎恨战争意识,不想提它,不想接近它,不想了解它。那是对战争正常的反应。
But if I asked all of you in this room, who here has paid money to go to a cinema and be entertained by a Hollywood war movie, most of you would probably raise your hands. That's what's so complicated about war. And trust me, if a room full of peace-loving people finds something compelling about war, so do 20-year-old soldiers who have been trained in it, I promise you. That's the thing that has to be understood.
但是,今天我要问在座谁花过钱去电影院观看好莱坞战争片,你们中的大部分人肯定都会举手。那这就令人匪夷所思了。相信我,如果在座的热爱和平的人士认为战争很刺激精彩,那么那些经受训练的年轻战士也会这样想。这是需要大家心知肚明的。
