环球慢速英语 马尔马雷计划(7)

Voice 2: These two groups are experiencing a difficult conflict. In a conflict it is not always clear who is right and who is wrong. Are the engineers of the Marmaray Project right? They want to continue building their tunnel. Or are the archaeologists right? They want to find all of the ancient objects before the Marmaray Project continues. The answer is not clear. Maybe they are both right!

声音2：这两个团队经历了艰苦的冲突。在这种冲突中谁对谁错并不总是明确的。马尔马雷计划的工程师是对的吗？他们希望继续建造隧道。还是考古学家是对的？他们想在马尔马雷计划重新启动前找到所有文物。答案是不确定。也许双方都是对的！

Voice 1: Conflict is not always about who is right and who is wrong. It could be that there is no right answer. It could be that two groups simply have different ideas, like the two groups we have talked about today.

声音1：冲突并不总是要弄清楚谁对谁错。也可能没有正确答案。可能只是两方有不同的想法，就像我们今天谈到的这两个团队一样。

Voice 2: It is impossible to avoid conflict. People do not always agree. So, everyone experiences conflict once in awhile. That is why learning¹ to deal with conflict is an important skill. Even when people have different ideas they can still work together. They can work together to find a good compromise². Even during conflict there can be peace. In the Bible³ it says:

声音2：避免冲突是不可能的。人们并非总持一致看法。因此，每个人偶尔会经历冲突。所以学习应对冲突是一项重要的技能。即使人们有不同的想法，他们也能团结合作。他们可以合作达成折衷方案。即使处于冲突中也能达到和平。《圣经》中说：

Do not be proud at all. Be completely gentle. Be patient. Put up with one another in love.

一点也不要骄傲。要做到完全的温和。要有耐心。要用爱心互相包容。
