| I get asked a lot what the difference between my work is and typical Pentagon long-range strategic planners . |
很多人问我,我的工作 与一位典型的五角大楼长期战略计划者的工作有什么区别 |
|

| And the answer I like to offer is, what they typically do is they think about the future of wars in the context of war. |
我给他们的答案是 那些计划者们总是在战争的大背景下 思考战争的未来 |
|
typically:adv.代表性地;作为特色地; context:n.环境;上下文;来龙去脉;
|
| And what I've spent 15 years doing in this business -- and it's taken me almost 14 to figure it out -- is I think about the future of wars in the context of everything else. |
而我花费了15年时间所做的事情 ——其实我花了14年才搞清楚我到底在做什么—— 是我却是在非战争的大背景下思考战争的未来 |
| So I tend to specialize on the scene between war and peace. |
所以我倾向于关注那些介于战争和和平之间的事情 |
|
specialize:vi.专门从事;专攻;专门研究(或从事)
|
| The material I'm going to show you is one idea for a book. |
我要向大家介绍的是一本书中的一个观点 |
| Well, a lot of ideas. |
呃~不是一个,而是好几个观点 |

正是为此我才周游世界 与各国军方交流 |
|

|
generated:v.产生;引起;(generate的过去式和过去分词) strategy:n.策略;行动计划;部署;战略; United:adj.联合的; v.联合,团结; (unite的过去分词和过去式)

| Why do we call it that? |

| This is gobbledygook for, if the United States fights somebody we're going to be huge, they're going to be small. |
带官腔的文章都这样 如果美国要打谁,那么我们美国必是巨大的 则对方必是渺小的 |

| And if they try to fight us in the traditional , straight-up manner we're going to kick their ass, which is why people don't try to do that any more. |

问题是,你能用它做什么呢？ |
