张伯伦亦如是。

In September 1938, he travelled to Munich and Hitler's office on the Koenigsplatz. for one final meeting.

1938年9月,他前往慕尼黑国王广场的希特勒办公室,作最后一次会晤。

Chamberlain didn't think Hitler was a gentleman.

张伯伦不认为希特勒是绅士。

In fact, he remarked that Hitler was the commonest little dog he'd ever seen,so undistinguished that you would never notice him in a crowd.

事实上,他评价希特勒是他见过最平凡的小狗，平庸到你在人群中绝不会留意他。

But Chamberlain did have sympathy¹ with the view that the peace treaty² at the end of the First World War had been too hard on Germany.

但张伯伦的确很同情，受一战后的和平条约严厉处置的德国。

And he signed an agreement on 29th September that gave Hitler the Sudetenland,the German-speaking area of Czechoslovakia.

于是他在9月29日签署协议将捷克斯洛伐克的德语区域-苏台德地区割让给希特勒。

Just as they had been in Austria,soldiers of the German army were greeted with flowers when they entered the Sudetenland in October 1938.

1938年10月，德军进入苏台德地区时，同样受到进入奥地利时的鲜花礼遇。

People said, Thank God, times are changing for us now.

大家都说,感谢上帝,我们的时代终于改变。

Everyone was delighted about it.

所有人对此表示高兴。

But events that would take place here in Munich,just a few weeks later in November 1938,would demonstrate³ Hitler's true world view.

但数周后,于1938年11月慕尼黑发生的事件，暴露出希特勒真正的世界观。
