The Stevenson family was having dinner.The family ate without talking for severalminutes,then Tom said,"Daddy,do you know how wars begin?"
史蒂芬森一家人正在吃晚餐,好幾分鐘過去,他們一句話都沒說.接著Tom問道：“爸,你知道戰(zhàn)爭是怎樣開始的嗎?”
Mr.Stevenson thought for a moment,then he said,"Yes,I think so.I'll give you an example.We'll take two countries,Britain and America.If Britain fought with America..."
史蒂芬森先生想了一會兒,然后他說：“是的,我想是這樣的.給你舉個例子吧.比如美國和英國,如果英國打了美國的話.”
Mrs.Stevenson laughed."That's crazy," she said to her husband."Britain and America have been friends for over two hundred years.They'll never fight."
史蒂芬森太太笑了.“那是不可能的”,她對她的丈夫說.“英國和美國已經(jīng)結(jié)盟兩百年了,它們才不打呢.”
"Yes,I know that," Mr.Stevenson said."I was only using them as an example."
“是的,我知道”史蒂芬森先生說,“我只是用它們來舉個例子罷了.”
"But they're not a good example," Mrs.Stevenson said."France and Germany are a better example."
“但是這不是個好例子啊,”史蒂芬森太太說,“法國和德國這個例子會更好”.
"Britain and America are the best example," Mr.Stevenson replied."They are friends now but they were enemies in the past.They fought a war!"
“英國和美國才是最好的例子”,史蒂芬森先生回答道,“它們現(xiàn)在是盟友,但是過去也是敵對的,它們打過仗啊.”
"But that was a long time ago," Mrs.Stevenson said."You should use more modern examples."
“但是那也是很久以前的事了”,史蒂芬森太太說,“你應(yīng)該用更現(xiàn)代的例子嘛”.
"And you should let me answer my son's question," Mr.Stevenson said angrily.
史蒂芬森先生生氣地說：“你至少讓我回答下我兒子的問題啊.”
"Not when you give him wrong answers," Mrs.Stevenson said.
“但是你現(xiàn)在給他的答案是錯誤的,所以才不讓你回答”,史蒂芬森太太說.
"I am not giving him wrong answers!" Mr.Stevenson shouted."I am giving him perfectly good answers."
“我沒給他錯誤的答案啊!”史蒂芬森先生喊道,“我給他的答案絕對正確”
"Don't shout at me!" Mrs.Stevenson cried." I'm not one of your stupid friends."
“別朝我喊!”史蒂芬森太太叫道,“我才不是你那些蠢朋友中的一員”.
"My friends aren't stupid!" Mr.Stevenson stood up and walked angrily out of the room.
“我的朋友才不蠢!”史蒂芬森先生站了起來,十分憤怒,走出了這個房間.
"Now I'll answer your question," Mrs.Stevenson said to her son.
“現(xiàn)在我來回答你的問題”,史蒂芬森太太對她的兒子說.
"It's all right,Mom," he said."You and Dad already have."
“不用了,媽”,他說“你和爸爸已經(jīng)說得很明白了”.
翻譯文章并回答問題：
why did Mr.and Mrs.Stevenson argue with each other?
When being asked "how the war begins" by their son.Mr.Stevenson took America and Britain as example,but his wife thought France and German would be better,then they began to argue which one is the BETTER example to demonstrate how the war begins,but they didn't known that they themselves had made a perfect example.
當(dāng)被他們的兒子問及“戰(zhàn)爭怎么開始”時(shí),史蒂芬森先生用了美國和英國的例子,但是他的太太覺得法國和德國的例子會更好,然后他們就為了爭哪個更好吵了起來,但是他們不知道他們本身已經(jīng)是相當(dāng)好的例子了.
