公共英语PETS-2每日对话练习(22)

 Ajie: The war in Iraq is probably going to get worse.
　　 Beth: And more people will probably want to be terrorists.
　　 Ajie: The U.S. and British armies should prosecute any soldiers and officers involved with these crimes.
　　 Beth: I think they should make some government officials resign.
　　 Ajie: Either that or withdraw from Iraq altogether.
　　 Beth: It's too late to do that now. They've already invaded. Now they have to get their jobs done before they can leave.
　　 Ajie: They should have never invaded in the first place.
　　 Beth: Try telling that to Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld. They didn't even listen when millions of people protested.

　　 阿杰：在伊拉克的战争或许会变得更糟。
　　 贝丝：而且或许更多人想要变成恐怖分子。
　　 阿杰：美国和英国军队应该起诉任何涉案的官兵。
　　 贝丝：我认为他们应该要让一些官员辞职。
　　 阿杰：不然就是干脆从伊拉克撤军。
　　 贝丝：现在撤军太晚了。他们已经入侵啦。现在他们得完成工作才能离开。
　　 阿杰：他们一开始就不该入侵的。
　　 贝丝：试着去跟布什、钱尼和伦斯斐说吧。之前几百万人抗议，他们都不肯听了。
