king of war
个人日记
1、There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every 12 people on the planet. The only question is,how do we arm the other 11?
全世界一共有5亿5千万支枪。也就是平均每12个人就有1把枪。唯一的问题是，如何让另外11人也有枪？”
2、The first time you sell a gun is a lot like the first time you have sex.You have absolutely no idea what you're doing,but it is exciting,and one way or another,it's over way too fast.
第一次卖枪的感觉，很大程度上就像第一次做爱一样，你根本不知道自己在干嘛，虽然很刺激，但很快就结束了。
3、You could pump a mag into me right now and never wake the guy in the next room.Of course,that would eliminate your opportunity for repeat business.
你现在可以对我射一匣子子弹也不会吵醒隔壁的人。当然，这样下次就没有机会再交易了。
4、Here, I'd been running away from violence my whole life, and I should have been running towards it. It's in our nature. The earliest human skeletons had spearheads in their ribcages.
我的一生都想远离暴力，但其实我更该接近它才对，这是人类的天性，人类最早遗骸的胸腔中，就有矛头。
5、Isn't being a dog part of being human?What if that's the best part of you,the dog part?What if you're really just a two-leggde dog?
狗性也是人性的一部分吧？说不定它是你最好的部分，说不定你就是两条腿的狗
6、What, you opening a gun shop?Already more of those in America than McDonald's.
你要开枪店？美国的枪店比麦当劳还多。
7、I can eat in the restaurant for free and I still don't eat there.
你做的汤免费给我我都不喝
8、Sir, may I interest you in the shoulder-fired SA-7 surface-to-air missiles? The older Chinese mo-del. Not so effective against modern military aircraft. But deadly if used against a commercial airlin-er. I’m giving them away at $850.
先生，有没有兴趣看看SA-7肩射防空导弹？中国制，过时的型号，用在现代军事战机上或许不行，不过打打商业客机还是挺不错的。850美元而已，等于是送给你了
9、I don't think you and I are in the same business,son.You think I just sell guns,don't you?I don't.I take sides.But in the Iran-Iraq war,you sold guns to both sides.Did you ever consider that I wanted both sides to lose?Bullets chage governments far surer than votes.
我们是同行吗？你以为我只卖枪械？不对，我是有立场的。但两伊战争中你两边都卖。你有没有想过我希望两边都输？用枪杆换个政府比用选票更有效。
10、When the United States leaves a war zone,they generally don't take their costs more to bring it back than to buy new stock.
美军在撤离一个战区时，通常不会把武器带走，因为运回去比买新的还贵。
11、I had a flair for languages.But I soon discovered that what talks best is dollars,dinars,drachmas,roubles,rupees and pounds-fucking-sterling.
我虽然有些语言天赋，但我很快发现美金、第纳尔、德拉克马、卢布、卢比和英镑更具有说服力。
12、What do you want to do,go more legit?No,more illegal.
你想做合法的生意？不，是更不合法。
13、The first and most important rule of gunrunning is never get shot with your own merchandise.
走私枪支第一条也是最重要的一条，就是不要被自己买卖的商品打伤了。
14、Selling guns is like selling vacuum cleaners. You make calls, pound the pavement, take orders. I was an equal opportunity merchant of death. I supplied every army but the Salvation Army. I sold Israeli-made Uzis to Muslims. I sold communist-made bullets to Fascists.
15、I even shipped cargo to Afghanistan when they were still fighting my fellow Soviets.I never sold to Osama bin Laden.Not on any moral grounds.Back then,he was always bouncing cheques.
我还把军火运到阿富汗，尽管他们在打我的苏联盟军。我从来没卖过给本·拉登，不是因为道德问题，而是那时他的支票总是跳票。
16、Without operations like mine, would be impossible for certain countries to conduct a respectable war.
没有我,有些国家根本打不了一场像样的战争。
17、There are three basic types of arms deal.White being legal,black being illegal,and my personal favourite colour,grey.
武器买卖可分三种，白色表示合法，黑色非法，我最喜欢灰色

你不能强迫一个人爱上你，但起码你可以制造机会。
21、In my experience,soe of the most successful relationships are based on lies and deceit.Since that's where they usually end up anyway,it's a logical place to start.
根据我的经验，很多美好的姻缘都是建立在谎言与欺骗上，发展到最后也都是以谎言告终，不如就这样开始吧。
22、How many car salesmen talk about their work? Huh?
How many cigarette salesmen? Both their products kill more people every year than mine. At least mine has a safety switch.
卖车的会告诉你车有危险？卖香烟的会告诉你吸烟会死？每年他们的商品比我的害死更多人，起码我的商品还有保险栓呢
23、Those 45 year of mutual hatred between the East and the West had generated the highest weapons buildup in history.The Soviets had guns coming out of the demon hole.
东西方45年来的仇恨制造出史上最大量的武器。苏联疯狂生产武器。
24、Of all the weapons in the vast Soviet arsenal,noting was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova,model of 1947,more commonly known as the AK47 or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rife.A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple nine-pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break,jam,or overheat. It will shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy,even a child can use it, and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin.Mozambique put it on their flag.Since the end of the Cold War,the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's greatest export. After that comes vodka,caviar and suicidal novelists.
在苏联兵工厂的所有武器中，没有一种像卡拉什尼科夫一样有利可图，定型于1947年，更多人俗称它为AK-47，又称卡拉什。它是举世闻名的冲锋枪，战士们最喜爱的武器，高雅而简单的把9磅重锻钢与实木完美结合，它绝不会断裂、卡壳或过热。就算沾满泥巴和沙土一样可以正常开火。使用非常简单，就算一个小孩子都会使用它，而且他们的确在使用。苏联硬币、莫桑比克国旗上都有它。冷战结束后，卡拉什尼科夫成为俄罗斯出口量最大的商品。其次才是伏特加、鱼子酱和自杀的小说家。
25、The new MP5. Would you like a silencer for that?
（尤里被国际刑警用枪指着头时，他看了一眼，惊喜的说：）“新款MP5！你想要一个和它配套的消音器吗？”
26、“Can you bring me the gun of Rambo?”
“Part one, two or three?”
“I've only seen part one.”
“The M60. Would you like the armor-piercing bullets?”
（拿着镀金AKS-74U的黑人总统儿子说）：“你可以带给我兰博之枪吗？”
“第一部、第二部还是第三部？”（指电影《第一滴血》）
“我只看过第一部。”
“嗯，M60，你要带穿甲弹的吗？”
27、A bullet from a fourteen-year-old is just as effective as one from a forty-year-old. Often more effective.
从14岁孩子的枪里射出的子弹和从40岁男人的枪里射出的子弹一样致命，也许更致命
28、You know, they call me the Lord of War. But perhaps it is you.
你知道他们叫我战争之王，但我想你才是。
29、Conflict diamonds are a common currency in West Africa.Also referrde to as blood diamonds,since bloodshed is what they generally finance.
钻石在西部非洲是最常用的货币，又叫“血之钻石”，因为这些钻石往往都被用于资助流血战争。
30、In the most AIDS-infested region of the globe. Andre’s idea of a joke was to put a young Iman and a young Naomi in my bed. And no condom within 100 miles.
在全球艾滋病最流行的地方，4人中就有1人感染。安德烈和我开玩笑的方式，就是把两个漂亮的女人放到我床上，而且在方圆100英里内找不到避孕套。
31、The problem with gunrunners going to war is that there’s no shortage of ammunition.
军火商之间开战是个麻烦事，因为双方都有用不完的弹药。
32、Every faction in Africa calls themselves by these noble names Liberation-this, Patriotic-that, Democratic Republic of something-or-other. I guess they can't own up to what they usually are -- Federation of Worse Oppressors Than the Last Bunch of Oppressors. Often, the most barbaric atrocities occur when both combatants proclaim themselves freedom fighters.
每一个在非洲的派系，喜欢给自己起一些高尚的名字，解放这个，爱国那个，或者共和或民主什么的，也许他们不知道自己是什么，地球唯一喜欢战争的民族，往往最残忍的暴行都出自声称自己为自由战士的人们。
33、During the Cold War, the Red Army stationed nearly one million troops in Ukraine because of its strategic military importance. The day after The Wall came down the pay cheeks stopped coming. There’s nothing better for an arms dealer combination of disgruntled soliders and warehouses full of weapons.
冷战时期，因为是战略要地，红军在乌克兰屯兵百万。柏林围墙倒后，军人就领不到薪水了，愤怒的士兵和满仓库的武器，对军火贩来说，真是美妙的组合。
34、You can fight a lot enemies and survive, but if you fight your biology, you always lose.
你可以和许多敌人战斗过后仍然存活下来，但是如果你和你自己战斗，你总是会输
35、There's nothing more expensive for an arms dealer than peace.
和平是军火商最大的风险。
36、Do you know why I do what I do? I mean, there are more prestigious assignments. Keeping track of nuclear arsenals. You'd think that more critical to world security, but it's not. No, Nine out of 10 war victims today are killed with assault rifles and small arms like yours.Those nuclear missiles,they sit in their silos.Your AK-47,that is the real weapon of mass destruction.
知道为什么我追查你到这里？我能选择其它更荣耀的任务，比方追查核武，你认为那对世界和平更重要？不对！今天十个战争受害者中有九人，是死于突击步枪和小型武器，正如你的商品。核弹都在发射筒里呆着，你卖的AK47才是大规模杀伤性武器
37、The reason why I will delay you for every second of the permissible 24 hours is I am delaying your deadly trade and the deaths of your victims.I don't think of it as taking a day from you,but giving a day to them.Some innocent man,woman or child is going to have an extra day on this Earth because you're not free.
我要耗光你24小时中的每一秒，延迟你交货，延迟你害死人，这不是剥夺你的一天，而是多给他们一天，让许多无辜的人多活一天，因为你失去自由。
38、They say,"Evil prevails when good men fail to act."What they ought to say is,"Evil prevails."
俗话说，“好人袖手，恶魔得逞。”他们该说，“恶魔永远得逞。”
39、There are only two tragedies in life.One is not getting what you want.The other is getting it.
生命中只有两种悲剧，一种是得不到你想要的，另一种是得到了。
40、Let me tell you what's gonna happen.This way you can prepare yourself.Soon there's gonna be a knock on that door and you will be called outside. In the hall there will be a man who outranks you.First,he'll compliment you on the fine job you've done, that you're making the world a safer place,that you're to receive a commendation and a promotion.And then he's going to tell you that I am to be released. You're going to protest.You'll probably threaten to resign.But in the end I will be released.The reason I'll be released is the same reason you think I'll be convicted.I do rub shoulders with some of the most vile,sadistic men calling themselves leaders today.But some of those men are the enemies of your enemies.And while the biggest arms dealer in the world is your boss, the President of the United States, who ships more merchandise in a day than I do in a year,sometimes it's embarrassing to have his fingerprints on the guns. Sometimes he needs a freelancer like me to supply forces he can't be seen supplying. So , you call me evil. But unfortunately for you,I'm a necessary evil.
让我告诉你将会发生什么事情，好让你有个心理准备。很快会有人来敲门叫你出去，大厅里有个比你官衔高的人。首先，他会称赞你所做的一切，世界因为你变得更安全，你会获得表扬或晋升。然后他会告诉你，我会被释放。你会反对，也许还威胁要辞职，但最后我还是会被释放。我被释放的理由跟你认为我会被定罪的理由一样，我和世界上称自己为领导人的人打交道。这些人其中有些是你敌人的敌人，世界上最大的军火商是你的老板，美国的总统，他一天卖的比我一年还多，有时候在枪支上找到他的指纹是一件很尴尬的事，有时他需要像我这样的自由工作者供应一些他不方便出面供应的货物。所以，你说我是恶魔，但不幸的是，对你我是一个必须存在的恶魔。
41、I would tell you to go to hell,but I think you're already there.
我想告诉你下地狱去吧，但我想你已经在地狱了。
42、You know who's going to inherit the Earth?Arms dealers.Because everyone else is too busy killing each other.
你知道谁将继承地球吗？军火商，因为其他人都在忙于自相残杀。
43、That's the secret to survival.Never go to war.Especially with yourself.
让我告诉你活命的秘诀，永远不要与战争有任何瓜葛，尤其是不要和自己做斗争。
44、You’re not a true internationalist until you’ve supplied weapons to kill your own countrymen.
不卖军火打自己的国家就不能算是真正的国际军火商
45、The world’s biggest arms suppliers are The US, UK, Russia, France and China. They are also the five permanent members of The UN. Security Council.
世界上最大的军火出口国是美国、俄罗斯、英国、法国和中国。同时它们也是联合国安理会五大常任理事国。
46、Most people are happy just to get out of jail. I expect to be paid to leave. I'm not a fool. I know that just because they needed me that day , didn't mean they wouldn't make me a scapegoat the next. But I was back, doing what I do best.
对于很多人来说离开监狱是一件很高兴的事。我不但离开监狱，还得到了钱。我不是一个傻瓜。我知道他们在今天需要我，并不意味着明天会是一样的结果。但是我回去了，去做我最拿手的事 。
