以色列占领区的巴勒斯坦人暴动

"The job of the historian is to judge," he once told an interviewer; and unlike Mr Morris, whom he takes savagely to task for his volte-face, Mr Shlaim's judgment on Israel has become increasingly harsh. His pieces on the years since the outbreak of the second intifada in 2000 betray his rising disgust with the hardline Israeli policies that Mr Shlaim believes have consistently undermined what slim chances of peace there have been.

"历史学家的工作是评判，"一次他曾告诉某个采访者；莫里斯先生因为观点突然转变而受到指责，施莱姆与他不同，对以色列的评判日益严苛。2000年第二次以色列占领区的巴勒斯坦人暴动后几年，他在作品中流露出他对以色列强硬路线政策的厌恶与日俱增，施莱姆先生认为这些政策始终在不断破坏达成以巴和平的一线希望。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
