2014年6月英語四級翻譯練習(xí)：對歷史的思考

　　請將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

　　歲月悠悠，滄桑巨變。歷史是最生動的教材。法西斯發(fā)動的侵略戰(zhàn)爭給人類帶來了浩劫，也教育了世界人民。世界人民贏得了戰(zhàn)爭的勝利，贏得了和平與進(jìn)步。半個世紀(jì)過去了，痛苦的回憶，勝利的喜悅，深深的思考，使人們更加清醒。 歷史證明，和平來之不易。世界大戰(zhàn)的悲劇絕不能重演。必須經(jīng)常保持高度警惕，不斷發(fā)展和壯大和平力量，遏制和消除導(dǎo)致戰(zhàn)爭的一切因素。歷史表明，人民終究是自己命運的主人，是社會前進(jìn)的推動者。凡是正義的和進(jìn)步的事業(yè)必然要勝利，這是任何力量也扼殺不了和阻擋不住的。

　　參考翻譯:
