1:This unreal normality is now under threat.||2:After a two-year lull , rockets fired from Gaza have rained down on Israel.||3:The Israel Defence Forces have struck hundreds of sites in Gaza.The army is ready to mobilise up to 40,000 reserves.

1:然而这种不真实的正常生活如今已受到威胁。||2:才过两年平静的生活，巴勒斯坦便从加沙发射火箭弹炮轰以色列；以色列国防军随即攻占加沙地区数百个地区，并欲召集达40,000人的预备队对抗哈马斯集团，如今他们已经控制住加沙地区（另见文）。||3:巴勒斯坦死亡人数已达70人，尽管如此，他们仍将发动第三次起义，或者说是暴动。

||1: Joking was essential, he said, for a healthy mind. Villagers in Jombang in East Java remembered him, as a boy, tied to the flagpole in the front yard for some jest that had gone too far. ||2: Visitors to the house would find their shoelaces surreptitiously knotted together. ||3: Later on, it was sometimes hard to tell whether he was larking round or serious: as a narcoleptic, he would often lull journalists into a snooze and then snap to, razor-sharp, with the answer to their questions. ||4: Joking got him through the rigours of pesantren, rural Muslim boarding school, and certainly through the turmoil of his 21 months as president from 1999 to 2001. ||5: At the end, when his aides tried to restrain him, “It has affected me,” he complained. “Starting tomorrow, I will start telling jokes again.”

||1:他说，对于一个健全的头脑，戏谑不可或缺。东爪哇省班宗县的村民们记得他，那个因为恶搞过火而被系在前院旗杆子上的小男孩。||2:来访的客人会发现鞋带被偷偷地绑在了一起。||3:到了后来，有时很难区分他是随便玩玩还是认真的：他经常像一个嗜眠患者那样把记者也搞得昏昏欲睡，然后又突然清醒犀利地回答他们的问题。||4:玩笑伴他度过了严苛的经学院，乡村的穆斯林寄宿学校，当然还有从1999年到2001年他作为总统的为期21个月的骚乱。||5:最后，当他的侍从试图限制他时，“这对我有影响，”他抱怨道。“从明天起，我又会开始讲笑话了。”

||1: In Dayton and everywhere else he was a hard taskmaster, but this was no more than he demanded of himself: shuttling to and fro between continents, staying up sleepless to read a book or to watch “There’s Something About Mary” for the fifth time. ||2: When he was given a job he did it fast, on his own terms (he was not Mr Obama’s “envoy” to Afghanistan and Pakistan, too elegant a word, but his “special representative”, a much wider-ranging brief). ||3: And he expected short, direct lines of communication. ||4: As early as 1970, in a piece for the first issue of Foreign Policy (a magazine he edited from 1972 to 1977, during a Republican lull ), he lamented the mushroom growth of the State Department, where internal communications were becoming “ever more time-consuming, less intelligible and less controllable”. ||5: He thus predicted four decades early the age of Wikileaks, though Wikileaks might well have doomed his tactics in Bosnia.

||1:在代顿以及其他任何地方，他都是一名很难相处的领导，但是这仅仅是他对自己的要求：来回的在各大洲之间穿梭，熬夜不停地看一本书或者看第五遍我为玛丽狂。||2:每接到一个工作，他都会很快完成，用他自己的话说（他不是奥巴马总统的阿富汗和巴基斯坦“特使”，这个词太文雅了，而是他的“特别代表”，这个词范围更广）。||3:而且他喜欢简短直接的交流。||4:早在1970年，外交政策（他1972年-1977年在共和党竞选期间编辑的一本杂志）第一期的一段中，他为国家部门的迅速增长感到悲哀，在这样的部门中，内部交流都变得“更浪费时间，更难理解，更难控制”。||5:因此，他早在40年前就预言了维基泄密事件的发生，尽管维基泄密可能使他对波斯尼亚的战略趋于毁灭。
