1-- Hey, John! What do you think are the main causes of war today?
2-- It's hard to say! But it seems that a lot of wars nowadays are civil wars. People from different ethnic groups in the same country sometimes fight for power in that country.
1-- Yeah, several of those civil wars have been going on for years and years. It seems they will never end.
2-- How do you think they could be ended?
1-- I don't think that there is any easy way.
2-- I think one better way to stop it is to cut off their financial support.
1-- Yeah, you are right!

譯文:
1--嘿,約翰!你認為如今引起戰(zhàn)爭的主要原因有哪些?
2--很難說!但看起來現(xiàn)在許多戰(zhàn)爭都是國內(nèi)戰(zhàn)爭。來自同一個國家的不同種族的人們有些時候會為了國家的政權(quán)而開戰(zhàn)。
1--是啊,一些這樣的內(nèi)戰(zhàn)已經(jīng)一直持續(xù)了好多年,感覺永遠都打不完。
2--你覺得怎樣才能停止戰(zhàn)爭?
1--我不認為有什么簡單的方法能讓他們停戰(zhàn)。
2--我覺得讓他們停下來的好方法就是切斷戰(zhàn)爭國家的經(jīng)濟支援。
1--嗯,你說得對!
