云格尔TED演讲：老兵为何怀念战争云格尔TED演讲：老兵为何怀念战争导语：战争是我们每个人都不愿看到的，可是对于经历过战争的老兵他们对战争的感受又是如何的呢？I'mgoingtoaskandtrytoanswer,insomeways,kindofanuncomfortablequestion.Bothcivilians,obviously,andsoldierssufferinwar;Idon'tthinkanycivilianhasevermissedthewarthattheyweresubjectedto.I'vebeencoveringwarsforalmost20years,andoneoftheremarkablethingsformeishowmanysoldiersfindthemselvesmissingit.我且询问并且回答一个问题，这个问题在某些方面会让人不舒服。显而易见，在战争中，公民和战士都会受到伤害，我认为没有一个公民会怀念他们经历过的战争。Howisitsomeonecangothroughtheworstexperienceimaginable,andcomehome,backtotheirhome,andtheirfamily,theircountry,andmissthewar?Howdoesthatwork?Whatdoesitmean?一个最后回到家里，回到祖国的人，会想念带给他们最糟糕经历的战争?那是怎么回事?那是什么意思?Wehavetoanswerthatquestion,becauseifwedon't,it'llbeimpossibletobringsoldiersbacktoaplaceinsocietywheretheybelong,andIthinkit'llalsobeimpossibletostopwar,ifwedon'tunderstandhowthatmechanismworks.我们不得不回答这个问题，如果我们不给出答案，就无法使我们的战士回归那个属于他们的地方，社会。并且，如果不弄明白这个问题，也不可能阻止战争的发生。Theproblemisthatwardoesnothaveasimple,neattruth,onesimple,neattruth.问题是战争没有一个简单纯净的真理。Anysanepersonhateswar,hatestheideaofwar,wouldn'twanttohaveanythingtodowithit,doesn'twanttobenearit,doesn'twanttoknowaboutit.That'sasaneresponsetowar.任何理智的人都憎恨战争，憎恨战争意识，不想提它，不想接近它，不想了解它。那是对战争正常的反应。ButifIaskedallofyouinthisroom,whoherehaspaidmoneytogotoacinemaandbeentertainedbyaHollywoodwarmovie,mostofyouwouldprobablyraiseyourhands.That'swhat'ssocomplicatedaboutwar.Andtrustme,ifaroomfullofpeace-lovingpeoplefindssomethingcompellingaboutwar,sodo20-year-oldsoldierswhohavebeentrainedinit,Ipromiseyou.That'sthethingthathastobeunderstood.但是，今天我要问在座谁花过钱去电影院观看好莱坞战争片，你们中的大部分人肯定都会举手。那这就令人匪夷所思了。相信我，如果在座的热爱和平的人士认为战争很刺激精彩，那么那些经受训练的战士也会这样想。这是需要大家心知肚明的。I'vecoveredwarforabout20years,asIsaid,butmymostintenseexperiencesincombatwerewithAmericansoldiersinAfghanistan.I'vebeeninAfrica,theMiddleEast,Afghanistaninthe'90s,butitwaswithAmericansoldiersin2007,2008,thatIwasconfrontedwithveryintensecombat.我曾经报道过战争达20年。我最难忘的就是和在阿富汗美军士兵在一起的经历。90年代，我曾到过非洲，中东以
