這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)是怎么開始的？你認(rèn)為今天戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的主要原因是什么
 
來聽今天的講解:

A: are you watching another news report about the war?
 
你在看另一篇關(guān)于戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的新聞報(bào)道嗎？
 
B: yes. The two sides declared a short ceasefire but it broke down earlier today. Several military target were destroyed by bombing. Many civilians were among the dead and wounded.
 
是的。雙方宣布了短暫的?；?，但今天早些時(shí)候?；鹌屏选讉€(gè)軍事目標(biāo)被轟炸摧毀。死傷者中有許多平民。
 
A: how did this war start?
 
這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)是怎么開始的？
 
B: bout side claim a small area of territory. Both sides tried to build border fences and began attacking each other.
 
布特一方聲稱擁有一小塊領(lǐng)土。雙方都試圖修建邊境圍欄，并開始相互攻擊。
 
A: politicians from both sides sound increasingly belligerent. Neither side wants to compromise.
 
雙方的政客聽起來越來越好戰(zhàn)。雙方都不想妥協(xié)。
 
B: relief agencies report that many civilians are in desperate need of food and shelter. Several European countries have agreed to send aid, but are afraid that their planes will be shot down.
 
救援機(jī)構(gòu)報(bào)告說，許多平民急需食物和住所。幾個(gè)歐洲國家已經(jīng)同意提供援助，但擔(dān)心他們的飛機(jī)會(huì)被擊落。
 
A: what do you think will happen?
 
你認(rèn)為會(huì)發(fā)生什么？
 
B: both countries are very poor. Soon they will run out of money to finance the war. Then, perhaps, they will negotiate. The thing is to find the real problem for the war and solve that.
 
這兩個(gè)國家都很窮。很快他們就會(huì)耗盡戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)資金。然后，也許他們會(huì)進(jìn)行談判。問題是找到戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的真正問題并解決這個(gè)問題。

A: what do you think are the main causes of war today?
 
你認(rèn)為今天戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的主要原因是什么？
 
B: I’d say the main reason is poverty. Countries and their people get frustrated because they have so little. If their neighbors have some resources, they try to steal them by military force.
 
我想說，主要原因是貧困。國家和人民因?yàn)樗麄兊馁Y源太少而感到沮喪。如果他們的鄰國有一些資源，他們就會(huì)試圖通過軍事力量偷走這些資源。
 
A: it seems that a lot of wars nowadays are really civil wars. People from different ethnic groups in the same country sometimes fight for power in that country.
 
現(xiàn)在很多戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)似乎都是內(nèi)戰(zhàn)。同一個(gè)國家的不同民族的人有時(shí)會(huì)在那個(gè)國家爭(zhēng)奪權(quán)力。
 
B: several of those civil wars have been going on for years and years. It seems they will never end.
 
其中幾場(chǎng)內(nèi)戰(zhàn)已經(jīng)持續(xù)了好幾年，似乎永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)結(jié)束。
 
A: how do you think they could be ended?
 
你認(rèn)為他們?cè)趺磿?huì)結(jié)束？
 
B: I don’t think that there is any easy way. The united nations could send peacekeepers into the country. At least then the warring parties could be forced to negotiate. The thing is to find the real problem form the war and solve that.
 
我不認(rèn)為有任何簡(jiǎn)單的方法。聯(lián)合國可以派遣維和人員進(jìn)入該國。至少那時(shí)交戰(zhàn)各方可能會(huì)被迫談判。問題是從戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中找到真正的問題并解決它。
 
A: so, if the cause is poverty, there should be a programme to make the country richer. If the problem is resources, share them.
 
因此，如果原因是貧困，就應(yīng)該制定一個(gè)使國家更富有的計(jì)劃。如果問題是資源，就分享資源。
 
B: it sounds easy when you say it like that. In reality, it’s harder to make peace between countries.
 
當(dāng)你這樣說的時(shí)候聽起來很容易。事實(shí)上，在國家之間實(shí)現(xiàn)和平更難。
 
A: yes. It is. One way to stop countries fighting is to cut off their financial support. Wars are very expensive.
 
是的。是的。阻止各國戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的一種方法是切斷它們的財(cái)政支持。戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)代價(jià)高昂。
 
B: the problem is that many poor people might suffer.
 
問題是許多窮人可能會(huì)受苦。
