Directions: Read the following passage carefully and then translate
each underlined part into Chinese.
71. Battles are like marriages. They have a certain fundamental
experience they share in common. They differ infinitely, but still they are all
alike. A battle seems to me a conflict of will with death in the same way that a
marriage of love is the identification of two human beings to the end of
creation of life--as death is the reverse of life, and love of hate. Battles are
commitments to cause death as marriages are commitments to create life.
Whether, for any individual, either union results in death or in the creation of
life, each risks it-- and in the risk commits himself. 72. As
the servants of death, battles will always remain horrible. Those who are
fascinated by them are being fascinated by death. There is no battle aim worthy
of the name except that of ending all battles. Any other conception is,
literally, suicidal. The fascist worship of battle is a suicidal drive. It is
love of death instead of life. 73. In the same idiom, to
triumph in battle over the forces which are fighting for death is--again
literally--to triumph over death. It is a surgeon’s triumph as he cuts a body
and bloodies his hands in removing a cancer in order to triumph over death that
is in the body. In these thoughts I have found my own peace,
and I return to an army that fights death and cynicism in the name of life and
hope. It is a good army. Believe in it.
