越南人的

The entire town and lab of Los Alamos were originally built to invent the ultimate weapon. So I was surprised to hear Langton begin his story by saying he was a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War.

整个小镇和洛斯阿拉莫斯实验室原本是为研制终极武器而建，因此，在故事开始时，听兰顿说他是越南战争时期拒服兵役的人，我感到很吃惊。

Many of them have been deeply disillusioned by the Vietnam War.

越南战争使他们中的许多人彻底清醒过来。

Today, 45 years of age with the Vietnam War, Americans have no direct bearing on the war they did not Not eligible to enlist, but also did not take part in protest activities.

今天，45岁以下的美国人同越南战争已没有直接关系，他们没有参战，没有应征入伍资格，也没有参加抗议活动。

Some 87 of them were killed in action in China, Korea, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and elsewhere.

他们其中的87人在中国，朝鲜，老挝，越南，柬埔寨和其他地方阵亡。

The portrait that emerges is surprising, as surprising as McNamara's assertion that he and General Curtis LeMay were essentially war criminals for directing the fire bombing of Tokyo and 67 Japanese cities at the close of World War II and his claim that he desperately urged President Johnson to pull troops out of the Vietnam quagmire.

影片没有其他旁白，描述令人震惊，正如McNamara 的陈词（他和 Curtis LeMay 将军正是在二战结束晚期主张对东京和 67 个其他日本城市进行燃烧弹轰炸的主要战犯），他极力要求当时的 Johnson 总统从越南战争的泥潭中撤军的主张，两者让人甚为震惊。

It happened, among others, to the British in Palestine, the French in Algeria and, momentously, the Americans in Vietnam. The helicopters whisking evacuees from Saigon in 1975 still haunt America."Vietnam", synonymous with "quagmire", is shorthand for an unwinnable war.

举几个例子，当年在巴勒斯坦的英国人，在阿尔及利亚的法国人，更显著的，在越南作战的美国人，都曾经历过上述的跳蚤战。1975年直升机快速把士兵带离西贡的这一场景在美国人心中仍旧挥之不去。

Back then there were also a number of influential liberal Republicans, alas, a virtually extinct group today, including Edward Brooke of Massachusetts, the Senates only African-American; Mark Hatfield of Oregon; Jacob Javits of New York; and George Aiken of Vermont, a crusty old New Englander who thought our Vietnam policy was nuts and tersely suggested we should simply declare victory and get out.

那时也有不少很有影响的自由派共和党人，可现在，哎，这种群体已基本销声匿迹。这些自由派共和党人包括马萨诸塞州的爱德华。布鲁克，他是参议院唯一的非裔美国人；俄勒冈州的马克。哈特菲尔德；纽约州的雅各布。贾维茨；佛蒙特州的乔治。艾肯——他是一个坏脾气的新英格兰（新英格兰主要指美国东北角的三个州地区）老人。在他看来，我们的越南政策是在瞎胡闹，因此精辟地建议我们只要宣布胜利，然后撤出军队就可以了。

The Chinese armies reconquered annam, as northern Vietnam was then known, in Southeast asia and kept back the Mongols, while the Chinese fleet sailed the China seas and the Indian Ocean, cruising as far as the east coast of africa.

明朝军队再次征服安南(即位于东南亚的越南的北部地区)，并抵抗了蒙古人的入侵，同时明朝的舰队可以自由航行于中国海域和印度洋，远至非洲的东海岸。

President Kennedy sent Taylor and Rostow to inspect South Vietnam in October 1961. Taylor and Rostow received South Vietnamese active responses of building an independent country. Therefore, building an independent and noncommunist South Vietnam became the idealism for American Vietnam policy. The central thought of Taylor-Rostow Mission report focused on limited partnership, and this was the pragmatism of American Vietnam policy."Limited partnership" became the best reason to avoid sending American forces to Vietnam.

甘乃迪总统於一九六一年十月派遣泰勒与罗斯托前往南越考察，两人探知南越内部独立建国意愿，建立独立暨非共南越成为甘乃迪越南政策理想性目标，而两人考察报告的中心思想「有限夥伴关系」成为越南政策务实性方针，「有限夥伴关系」方针乃避免军事干预越南的最佳选择。

I am sure after a few weeks of adaptation and familiarization I will have no difficulty in functioning on a daily basis in an English speaking society or in participating fully in graduate studies.

在大学的三年的学习生活不仅给予我自身的充实，更重要的是磨练和培养了我较强的自觉能力和严谨，踏实的作风以及不怕困难的精神，对未来充满了信心！

As the first volcanoes erupted, one of the gases that bellowed out was steam.

在第一批火山喷发时，喷出的气体之一就是水蒸汽。
