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.
