不象军人的

Suppose I was a soldier like you, and ordered to carry a certain redoubt, and you knew I must be killed in the assault, would you not say to me, as you said just now,'Go, father; for you are dishonored by delay, and death is preferable to shame!

"假若我是一个象你这样的军人，受命去攻克某一个城堡，而你知道我肯定会在进攻时被杀的，难道你不愿意象现在这样的对我说一声：'去吧，父亲，因为倘若您留下来就要名誉扫地，宁愿死，别受辱'！"

I do not wish to discuss Heliogabalus, Macrinus, or Julian, who, being thoroughly contemptible, were quickly wiped out; but I will bring this discourse to a conclusion by saying that princes in our times have this difficulty of giving inordinate satisfaction to their soldiers in a far less degree, because, notwithstanding one has to give them some indulgence, that is soon done; none of these princes have armies that are veterans in the governance and administration of provinces, as were the armies of the Roman Empire; and whereas it was then more necessary to give satisfaction to the soldiers than to the people, it is now more necessary to all princes, except the Turk and the Soldan, to satisfy the people rather the soldiers, because the people are the more powerful.

至于埃利奥加巴洛、马克里诺、尤里亚诺等人，我就不打算议论了，因为他们都是十足可鄙的，所以很快就给消灭了。但是我想就上面的论述总结一下。我认为，我们这个时代的君主们要使自己政府的军队特别满意，其困难比往时减少了，因为尽管他们必须对那些军队给以某些照顾，可是如有任何困难很快就获得解决了。我们这个时代的任何一位君主都没有一支军队象罗马帝国的军队那样，同政府和地方行政当局一道根深蒂固。如果说，在罗马帝国时代，满足军人比满足人民更有必要，那末现在所有的君主，除了土耳其皇帝和苏丹之外，满足人民倒是比满足军人更有必要，因为现在人民比军人更有力量了。

On the road Tom he told me all about how it was reckoned I was murdered, and how pap disappeared pretty soon, and didn't come back no more, and what a stir there was when Jim run away; and I told Tom all about our Royal Nonesuch rapscallions, and as much of the raft voyage as I had time to; and as we struck into the town and up through the -- here comes a raging rush of people with torches, and an awful whooping and yelling, and banging tin pans and blowing horns; and we jumped to one side to let them go by; and as they went by I see they had the king and the duke astraddle of a rail -- that is, I knowed it WAS the king and the duke, though they was all over tar and feathers, and didn't look like nothing in the world that was human -- just looked like a couple of monstrous big soldier-plumes.

在路上，汤姆告诉了我，当初人家怎样以为我是被谋害了，我爸又是怎样在不久以后失踪的，从此一去不回；杰姆逃走的时候又是怎样引起了震动的；一桩桩、一件件，原原本本都讲了。我呢，对汤姆讲了有关两个流氓演出《王室异兽》的事以及在木筏上一路漂流等等的全部经过。因为时间不多，只能讲到哪里就算哪里。我们到了镇上，直奔镇子的中心――那时是八点半钟――只见有一大群人象潮水般涌来，手执火把，一路吼啊，叫啊，使劲地敲起白铁锅，吹起号角。我们跳到了一旁，让大伙儿过去。队伍走过时，只见国王和公爵给骑在一根单杠上――其实，那只是我认为是国王和公爵，因为他们遍身给涂了漆，粘满了羽毛，简直已经不成人形――乍一看，简直象两根军人戴的狰狞可怕的粗翎子。

I know not how, but martial men are given to love: I think, itis but as they are given to wine; for perils commonly ask to bepaid in pleasures.

我不懂是什么缘故，使许多军人更容易堕入情网，也许这正象他们嗜爱饮酒一样，是因为危险的生活更需要欢乐的补偿。

As a high-ranking officers of the Soviet Union, may not like those junior officers and ordinary soldiers in the streets as highway robbery, but they also have their own channels for getting rich, they can use various means to the confiscation of German works of art and life of luxury , And then use the military after the train back to domestic accounts for itself, as this is very common, including Marshal Zhukov, many of the distinguished officers of the Soviet Union on this issue more or less tarnished the military's honor.

作为苏联高级将领，也许不会象那些下级军官和普通士兵那样在大街上拦路抢劫，但他们也有自己发财的渠道，他们可以用各种手段没收德国的艺术品和生活奢侈品，然后用军用列车运回国内后占为己有，这种现像十分普遍，包括朱可夫元帅在内的许多杰出的苏联军官都在这个问题上或多或少地玷污了军人的荣誉。

Neither the killing of Mr Zarqawi nor any breakthrough on the political front will stop the insurgency and the fratricidal murders in their tracks.

在对危险的南部地区访问时，他斥责什叶派民兵领导人对中央集权的挑衅行为。

In fact,I've got him on the satellite mobile right now.
