【注】听着Nikky的回答，我感觉又触动了她的伤处，心想马上还是换个话题为好。

　　Brian: and I saw US is about to take a war with Iraq these days. (我听说美国又要打伊拉克了)

　　Nikky: we have been pressing Iraq for the last several years. (我们一直对伊拉克施加压力)【注】她也转的比较快，能够和我很快的进入下一个话题

　　Brian: since when?

　　Nikky: since when they, Saddam threw the inspectors (检查员)out, to let the inspectors back in.

　　Brian: the inspectors were not welcome there, what u think?【注】美国的检查员在伊拉克当然不受欢迎，人家的领土你凭什么来检查？

　　Nikky: but they were not there to do anything harmful to the Iraqi people.

　　Brian: but they don’t think so, they think that u are just World policeman. (但是他们不这么想，他们认为美国是世界警察)

　　Nikky: we were there to make sure, that they had given up weapons of mass destruction(大规模杀伤性武器) activity.

　　Brian: and u see the results?

　　Nikky: I don’t know, we have some economic sanctions.【注】威胁不行，就动用制裁手段

　　Brian: and with your British counterpart.

　　Nikky: yes.

　　Brian: if there is no compromise, there will be a sanction(如果没有妥协的话，就会受到制裁)

　　Nikky: yes.

　　Brian: but the Iraqi people are hurt

　　Nikky: no, we have a lot of medicine, food , we give them

　　Brian: medicine goes in.

　　Nikky: medicine, food, because we don’t want to hurt the Iraqi people.

　　Brian: but this time is different, I, or any normal Chinese people could see the determination.

　　Nikky: and the British…..

　　Brian: u know, whenever I ask the Americans that I know about the politics, we are likely to have some different views.【注】确实是这个样子，每次和美国人谈到有关政治性的话题时，总会或多或少的产生一些分歧，此乃正常，我们受到的新闻舆论和导向是不一样的，但这次和Nikky稍微触及美国即将要撂倒伊拉克的行动，感觉其实分歧并不大。

　　Nikky: we’re not doing this to protect America, but to protect the region.【注】同样的话，不止Nikky一个人对我说过，这也许是美国一贯的幌子。
