瞬间秒杀听力 第502期:战争的代价

 

War is a horrible¹ thing,

so we should avoid it at all costs.

Human beings have been fighting

one another since the beginning of time.

They fight over various things,

from religion to money.

There are no winners in a war,

because in the end,

many people on both sides end up dying².

During times of war, people lose their homes,

jobs, and their families are broken.

The only way for any country

to win a war is not to fight at all.

Peace is the only answer.

战争是件可怕的事，

因此我们应该不计一切来避免战争。

自古以来，人类就互相争斗。

他们会为各种事情争斗，

从宗教到钱财都包括在内。

战争中没有赢家，

因为到头来双方都有许多人死去。

战争期间，人们失去家园及工作，

他们的家庭也破碎了。

任何一个国家要赢得战争，

唯一的方法就是根本不要参战。

和平是唯一的解决之道。
