Vladimir: We need a ceasefire. The violence is escalating and we need to put a stop to this.

弗拉基米爾：我們需要?；稹１┝σ恢鄙?，我們必須停止這種情況。

Hilary: I agree, but do you think our enemies will agree to a truce?

希拉里：我同意，但是你覺得我們的敵人會同意停戰(zhàn)協(xié)定嗎?

Vladimir: They’re as embattled as we are. They may welcome a suspension of hostilities until we can agree on a peace treaty.

弗拉基米爾：他們和我們一樣被戰(zhàn)爭困擾。他們說不定還歡迎敵方的暫時停火，直到我們接受和平協(xié)議。

Hilary: I hate to think what their conditions will be for an armistice. This war has dragged on for so long.

希拉里：我不想覺得敵方同意停戰(zhàn)的條件。這場戰(zhàn)爭持續(xù)的時間太長了。

Vladimir: I suspect they feel the same as we do. If we make a conciliatory gesture, I think they’ll respond in kind.

弗拉基米爾：我猜他們和我們的感受一樣。如果我們和解，他們可能也會這樣做的。

Hilary: Do you really think so? We won’t come off as weak?

希拉里：你真的這樣認(rèn)為嗎。我們不會被認(rèn)為是弱者嗎?

Vladimir: I don’t think so. We’re taking the first step to peace. They’ll see that.

弗拉基米爾:我不覺得。我們?yōu)榱撕推竭~出第一步，他們都是有目共睹的。

Hilary: If you say so. All right, let’s do it. This war with our neighbors is getting old. Do you want to bring them this fruitcake or should I?

希拉里：如果你要是這么覺得的話，我們就這樣做吧。這場和鄰國的戰(zhàn)爭持續(xù)的時間越來越長了。誰通知他們停戰(zhàn)呢，你去還是我去?

Vladimir: I’ll take it, but first I’ll make sure their ugly, dirty, mean barking dog that wakes me up in the middle of the night is tied up. I don’t want to become a casualty while bringing them this peace offering!

弗拉基米爾：我去吧，但是首先要確定他們的在半夜把我吵醒的又丑又臟的狗拴住了。我可不想成為給他們帶來和平的犧牲品。
