||1: The term coined in the book’s title encapsulates the thesis. ||2: The “bloodlands” are the stretch of territory from the Baltic to the Black Sea where Europe’s most murderous regimes did their most murderous work. ||3: The bloodlands were caught between two fiendish projects: Adolf Hitler’s ideas of racial supremacy and eastern expansion, and the Soviet Union’s desire to remake society according to the communist template. ||4: That meant shooting, starving and gassing those who didn’t fit in. ||5: Just as Stalin blamed the peasants for the failure of collectivisation, Hitler blamed the Jews for his military failures in the east. ||6: As Mr Snyder argues, “Hitler and Stalin thus shared a certain politics of tyranny: they brought about catastrophes, blamed the enemy of their choice, and then used the death of millions to make the case that their policies were necessary or desirable. ||7: Each of them had a transformative Utopia, a group to be blamed when its realisation proved impossible, and then a policy of mass murder that could be proclaimed as a kind of ersatz victory.”

||1:本书题目中所造的词语是其主题的浓缩。||2:“血染之地”就是指从黑海至波罗的海这片土地，在这片土地上，欧洲最杀人如麻的政权犯下了最为残暴的恶行。||3:这片血染之地夹在两个恶魔般的计划之间：阿道夫-希特勒的种族优越思想和东扩的念头，以及苏联按共产主义模式再造世界的强烈欲望。||4:这就意味着对于那些与这两个计划的格格不入的人，就要被枪毙、饿死或用毒气毒死。||5:就像斯大林将社会主义集体化的失败归咎于农民身上那样，希特勒把在东方的军事失败归咎于犹太人。||6:正如Snyder所说，“故斯大林和希特勒的暴政是有着某些共同之处的，他们都带来灾难，归罪他们的自己所指的敌人，然后用数百万人死亡的代价来证明他们的政策是必要或理想的。||7:二人都建立了变种的乌托邦，当发现政策根本不现实时，就归咎于一群人，然后就可以把大屠杀政策宣称为一场虚假的胜利了。”

||1:Yet the meaning of Christmas 1914 is in danger of being muddled.||2:In too many tellings, the truce is hailed as something between a protest and a premonition: a declaration of shared humanity by ordinary soldiers, before heartless commanders sent them to their deaths.||3:History’s record is more complicated.||4:That first December the trenches were newly dug, and both sides could imagine that total victory was at hand.||5:The small-scale Christmas truces of 1914 were as much a display of misplaced confidence as an outbreak of pacifism.||6:The truces’ moral is rather bleak: those embarking on the first industrial war had little idea of the murderous stalemate that lay ahead.||7:After bitter reality sank in, few called for cheery Christmas games with the enemy.

||1:但1914年圣诞背后的含义有被混说之嫌。||2:在许多传说中，那次休战被看做战士们在对命运的不祥预感之下，做出的一种无声抗议，是无情的指挥官把他们送往坟墓之前，寻常战士做出的人性宣言。||3:但它在历史记载中显然更复杂。||4:那是一战经历的第一个12月，战壕刚被挖好，交战双方都以为胜券在握。||5:1914年那场小规模的圣诞休战，若说它代表了反战主义，那它一定也代表着交战双方错寄的信心。||6:休战的意义很模糊，史上首次工业战争的参与者几乎不了解，前方有多少鏖战。||7:当他们意识到苦涩的现实，就少有人有心情呼唤敌军，一起做欢乐的圣诞游戏了。

||1: Mr Bremmer is certainly right that a world without America’s global leadership is a more dangerous place, but he overstates his case. ||2: Even when it stood alone as the world’s superpower, America struggled to impose its will. ||3: In 1993 it pulled its troops out of Somalia when murderous warlords foiled its attempts to deliver food relief to the starving country. ||4: The global groups that Mr Bremmer imagines once ran the world were seldom that effective. ||5: The G7 occasionally influenced the direction of the dollar or the relations between rich countries and the emerging markets, but more often it issued anodyne, forgettable communiqués.

||1:当然，布雷默认为一个失去美国领导的世界将会更加危险，在这一点上他是正确的，但是关于这一点他却有所夸大了。||2:即使美国独霸世界，美国也很难强制执行它的意志。||3:1993年，当时残忍的军阀阻止美国将粮食救援输送到饥饿的国家时，美国将军队撤出了索马里。||4:可见布雷默所认为的曾经掌控全球的各个团体事实上并没有那么有效。||5:G7峰会偶尔会影响美元的方向或者富裕国家与新兴市场之间的关系，但是更多情况下，它只是发布一些类似于止痛剂一样的公告，那些公告也很快就被会被人们抛诸脑后。

||1:THE recent arrival of aliens and murderous youth in suburban Atlanta might seem like cause for concern.||2:But they are merely characters in films shot at the Atlanta Media Campus and Studios, the largest complex of its kind outside California.||3:The lot has hosted the final two instalments of “The Hunger Games” and “The Fifth Wave”, an upcoming science-fiction film.||4:What ought to worry local residents is Georgia’s inability to produce workers who can build the sets, run the wires or manage the sound for such films.||5:This skills shortage may endanger the $4 billion or so that Jim Jacoby, whose firm plans to redevelop the complex, reckons the film industry could bring to the state this year.

||1:在亚特兰大郊区，新到的外侨以及凶残的青年有可能会成为一个令人担忧的问题。||2:但是在亚特兰大传媒学校以及工作室里，这些人却不是电影里的角色。||3:该地已经迎来了“饥饿游戏”系列的两部电影以及电影“第五波”（“第五波”为一部即将上映的科幻片）。||4:让当地居民担心的是，乔治亚州无法自产工作员工，这些员工的工作包括建造电影现场、控制电路或者为这类电影控制声效。||5:这种技能的缺失将会造成大约40亿美元的损失，而这笔钱目恰恰是有重建综合设施的电影计划的吉姆·雅各比预估电影产业今年将产生的利润。
