zhàn zhēng战争cháng cháng常常cóng xiǎo从小chōng tū冲突kāi shǐ开始,hòu lái后来biàn dé变得yuè lái yuè越来越dà大,zuì hòu最后yīn wèi因为tán pàn谈判、pí láo疲劳huò或xiàn shí现实biàn huà变化cái才màn màn慢慢jié shù结束。

Wars often start from small conflicts, then grow bigger, and finally end slowly due to negotiations, fatigue, or changes in reality.

dàn但měi guó美国、yǐ sè liè以色列hé和yī lǎng伊朗zhī jiān之间de的jǐn zhāng紧张jú shì局势zǒu走dé得gèng更kuài快,yě也gèng更wēi xiǎn危险。

But the tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran are escalating faster and are more dangerous.

yī lǎng伊朗gāo céng高层bèi shā被杀hòu后,dì qū地区jú shì局势tū rán突然shēng jí升级,dà jiā大家gèng更nán难hòu tuì后退。

After the killing of high-ranking Iranian officials, the regional situation suddenly escalated, making it harder for everyone to step back.

tè lǎng pǔ特朗普、nèi tǎ ní yà hú内塔尼亚胡hé和yī lǎng伊朗xīn新lǐng dǎo rén领导人de的qiáng yìng强硬jiǎng huà讲话,ràng让chōng tū冲突gèng更yán zhòng严重。

The tough speeches by Trump, Netanyahu, and Iran's new leaders have worsened the conflict.

xiàn zài现在,huà yǔ话语cháng cháng常常bǐ比wǔ qì武器chuán dé传得gèng更kuài快,yě也ràng让tán pàn谈判kōng jiān空间biàn变xiǎo小。

Now, words often spread faster than weapons, reducing the space for negotiations.

yǐ sè liè以色列yì zhí一直bǎ把yī lǎng伊朗kàn chéng看成dà大wēi xié威胁,dàn但zhàn zhēng战争yě也ràng让zì jǐ自己de的chéng shì城市shòu dào受到dǎo dàn导弹gōng jī攻击,rén mín人民shēng huó生活gèng更bù不ān quán安全。

Israel has always seen Iran as a major threat, but the war has also caused missile attacks on its own cities, making people's lives less safe.

gēng shēn更深de的wèn tí问题yě xǔ也许bù不zhǐ shì只是jūn shì军事,ér shì而是yī xiē一些lǐng dǎo rén领导人zhǐ只yòng用jiǎn dān简单de的duì cuò对错lái来kàn看shì jiè世界。

The deeper problem may not just be military, but that some leaders see the world only in simple terms of right and wrong.

qí shí其实,yī lǎng伊朗jīn tiān今天hái yǒu还有hěn duō很多yóu tài rén犹太人shēng huó生活,zhè这shuō míng说明bù tóng不同de的rén人bìng并bú shì不是wán quán完全bù néng不能yì qǐ一起shēng huó生活。

In fact, many Jewish people still live in Iran today, showing that different groups can coexist.

kě shì可是zài在zhàn zhēng战争zhōng中,zuì最shòu kǔ受苦de的hái shì还是pǔ tōng rén普通人:jiā yuán家园bèi被huǐ毁,qīn rén亲人shī qù失去,hái zi孩子yě也huì会cháng qī长期huó活zài在hài pà害怕lǐ里。

However, in war, the ones who suffer the most are ordinary people: homes destroyed, loved ones lost, and children living in fear for a long time.

zhè这chǎng场zhàn zhēng战争yǐ hòu以后yě也huì会jié shù结束,dàn但gèng更zhòng yào重要de的wèn tí问题shì是:rén lèi人类hái还yào要jīng lì经历duō shǎo多少cì次zhàn zhēng战争,lǐng dǎo rén领导人cái才huì会míng bái明白,jiāo ào骄傲hé和zì wǒ自我bù néng不能dài lái带来zhēn zhèng真正de的hé píng和平?

This war will end eventually, but the more important question is: how many wars must humanity endure before leaders realize that pride and ego cannot bring true peace?
