1: But the story itself is good enough to shine through. The idea behind Pugwash (named for the remote hamlet in Nova Scotia where the early meetings were held) was that scientists—particularly nuclear scientists—were uniquely suited to grapple with the problems of the nuclear-armed world which they had helped bring into being. 2: They understood the details and were prone to thinking bold thoughts. [...]113: Delegates debated the theory of nuclear deterrence , pondered the potential damage of a nuclear war, and agitated for disarmament and the abolition of nuclear weapons. 4: As an international scientific group, Pugwash was a useful counterpart to the fearful nationalism shaping politics.

1:但是故事本身就有很多亮点贯穿始终。帕格沃什（早期会议在新斯科舍省召开时，以一偏远小村庄的名字命名）会议的主旨是让科学家们与他们亲手建起的核武器世界斗争，尤其是这些核专家再适合不过了。2:因为这些专家对核制造了如指掌，而且他们想法奇特大胆。[...]113:参会代表们一起讨论核威慑的理论，思考核战争的潜在危险，并倡导核裁军和销毁核武器。4:作为一个国际科学小组，帕格沃什会议成为恐怖的民族主义塑造政治的有用对口。

1: For Rotblat, though, these were only partial victories. Throughout his life, his goal remained a world free of nuclear weapons. 2: His experience of the second world war had a lasting impact (his wife may have been murdered at Belzec, an early Nazi death camp). 3: He was not convinced by the argument that the threat of nuclear weapons would ultimately prevent war. [...]114: The logic of deterrence , and later of mutually assured destruction—which presumes that war between nuclear-armed nations is impossible, because the mutual annihilation ensures that neither side could win—applies only to rational actors. 5: Had Hitler had the bomb, Rotblat argued, “his last order from the bunker in April 1945 would have been to use it on London even if it meant terrible retribution to Germany. 6: This would have been part of his philosophy of Gotterdammerung.”

1:对于罗特布拉特而言，这些仅是他人生长河中的小小胜利，他的目标是在世界范围内消除核武器。2:二战经历对他的影响让他久久不能释怀，战时自己的妻子在贝尔塞克一个纳粹死亡集中营被杀害。3:他从不相信有了核武器的威胁就能最终抑制战争。[...]114:核威慑逻辑以及同生共亡的理论（该理论持有者认为核武器国家间是不会有战争的，因为相互之间的灭亡会使任何一方都无法赢得战争）只适用于理性行为者。5:如果希特勒有了核弹，“即使核弹是德国的报应，也许1945年4月希特勒在自己的堡垒发出的最后命令就是用核弹炸掉伦敦。6:这或许也会成为他‘诸神的黄昏’哲学的一部分。”罗特布拉特争论道。
