战争要持续多久4

  PAUL MARTIN: Well, good evening, Larry, yes. I think this is the most crucial period. Winning a war is one thing, winning the peace obviously much more important (赢得战争是一回事,但是赢得和平却更重要。)and, if I may say so, the coalition forces have not made a very good start of it. (如果我可以这么说的话,联军部队并没有开好头。)

  The allowing, permitting looting to take place on this grand scale(允许这样大规模的掠夺), even the museum has been ransacked with 170,000 items apparently destroyed(博物馆也被一抢而光,170,000件物品被毁坏), the history of that great country, as well as hospitals, water facilities(这个伟大城市的历史,连同医院,水设备(都被破坏)). It hasn't been, it seems to me, as well planned as it should have been(对我来说,这与当初计划的不一样。).

  【注】美国人也不全都是坏蛋,比如说这个记者还算有点良心,知道现在被攻占的伊拉克一片狼籍,并非美军的初衷。

  The war has been brilliantly executed(战争取得了伟大的胜利). The overthrow(推翻) of Saddam certainly will benefit the region in my view enormously (极大地)but to win the peace they need to win hearts and minds and the images we're seeing now are not going to do that. (但是要赢得和平,他们就必须赢得民心,但是我们现在看到的景象并不是这样。)

  RO: Chris Hedges, what do you make of Secretary Rumsfeld's comments about stuff happening that these looting and the like. (你对国长拉姆斯菲尔德对于伊拉克现在发生的掠夺等现象的评论怎么看?)

  CHRIS HEDGES: Well, I think that certainly freedom doesn't look like this (我想自由当然不是这个样子的). This isn't what Iraqis wanted(这不是伊拉克人民所想要的), most Iraqis, this kind of universe that always comes when civil authority crumbles. (对于大多数伊拉克人来说,在某个政权倒台后总是伴随着这种情况的出现。)
