這場戰(zhàn)爭是怎么開始的？你認為今天戰(zhàn)爭的主要原因是什么
 
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)爭的新聞報道嗎？
 
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?；?，但今天早些時候?；鹌屏?。幾個軍事目標被轟炸摧毀。死傷者中有許多平民。
 
A: how did this war start?
 
這場戰(zhàn)爭是怎么開始的？
 
B: bout side claim a small area of territory. Both sides tried to build border fences and began attacking each other.

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.
 
救援機構(gòu)報告說，許多平民急需食物和住所。幾個歐洲國家已經(jīng)同意提供援助，但擔心他們的飛機會被擊落。
 
A: what do you think will happen?
 
你認為會發(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.
 
這兩個國家都很窮。很快他們就會耗盡戰(zhàn)爭資金。然后，也許他們會進行談判。問題是找到戰(zhàn)爭的真正問題并解決這個問題。

Intermediate
 
A: what do you think are the main causes of war today?
 
你認為今天戰(zhàn)爭的主要原因是什么？
 
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。國家和人民因為他們的資源太少而感到沮喪。如果他們的鄰國有一些資源，他們就會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)爭似乎都是內(nèi)戰(zhàn)。同一個國家的不同民族的人有時會在那個國家爭奪權(quán)力。
 
B: several of those civil wars have been going on for years and years. It seems they will never end.
 
其中幾場內(nèi)戰(zhàn)已經(jīng)持續(xù)了好幾年，似乎永遠不會結(jié)束。
 
A: how do you think they could be ended?
 
你認為他們怎么會結(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.
 
我不認為有任何簡單的方法。聯(lián)合國可以派遣維和人員進入該國。至少那時交戰(zhàn)各方可能會被迫談判。問題是從戰(zhàn)爭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，就應該制定一個使國家更富有的計劃。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.
 
當你這樣說的時候聽起來很容易。事實上，在國家之間實現(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)爭的一種方法是切斷它們的財政支持。戰(zhàn)爭代價高昂。
 
B: the problem is that many poor people might suffer.
 
問題是許多窮人可能會受苦。
