1: For Rotblat, though, these were only partial victories. Throughout his life, his goal remained a world free of nuclear weapons. [...]112: 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. 4: 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。[...]112:二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。4: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。

[...]111: After Pinochet overthrew the elected far-left government of Salvador Allende, almost 3,000 people were murdered or disappeared, 29,000 were imprisoned (nearly all of them were tortured) and some 200,000 sought refuge abroad. 2: Mr Lagos, an academic economist, was an adviser to the Allende government but not a member of it. 3: After the coup, he taught in the United States, before returning to Chile in 1978. 4: He played a prominent role in coaxing into existence a broad centre-left front, called the Concertación. 5: He disagreed with the far-left over its refusal to rule out violence against the regime. 6: That didn’t spare him from being detained for 18 days after a failed assassination attempt against Pinochet by communists.

[...]111:皮诺切特推翻了极左的民选萨尔瓦多·阿连德政府之后，有近3000人被杀害或失踪，29000人被监禁，几乎所有被监禁的人都受到了折磨，还有大约20万人到国外避难。2:理论经济学家拉各斯是阿连德政府的顾问，不是政府成员。3:政变后他在美国任教，直到1978年才回到智利。4:争取民主联盟是智利明显中间偏左的阵线，拉各斯在耐心成立它的过程中发挥了突出作用。5:他不赞成极左派采取暴力抵抗政权。6:共产党人企图暗杀皮诺切特失败后，这点并未让他免于十八天的拘留。

1: Stalin regarded all Soviet prisoners-of-war as traitors. 2: Their German captors starved them to death in their millions; nobody dared mourn them. 3: The Holocaust, too, did not fit into Soviet historiography, especially as post-war anti-Semitism intensified (“Every Jew is a nationalist and an agent of American intelligence,” Stalin said in 1952). [...]114: Memorials to murdered Jews carried not the Star of David but the five-pointed Soviet one, and referred blandly to “Soviet citizens” or “victims of fascism”.

1:斯大林把所有苏联战俘都当成叛徒。2:俘获他们的德军将他们上百万地饿死，没有人敢为他们哀悼。3:大屠杀也不合苏联的官修史要求，在战后反犹运动日益激烈之后更是如此。（斯大林在1952年曾说道：“每个犹太人都是民族主义者和美国情报人员”）。[...]114:被屠杀犹太人的墓碑上不是大卫星，而是苏联的五角星，他们被淡淡地归为“苏联公民”或“法西斯主义的受害者”。
