史蒂文在报纸上看到有关战争的新闻，于是就和同事约翰谈论起来……

Steven: Hey, John! What do you think are the main causes of war today?
史蒂文：嘿，约翰！你认为如今引起战争的主要原因有哪些？

约翰：很难说！但看起来现在许多战争都是国内战争。来自同一个国家的不同种族的人们有些时候会为了国家的政权而开战。

Steven: Yeah, several of those civil wars have been going on for years and years. It seems they will never end.
史蒂文：是啊，一些这样的内战已经一直持续了好多年，感觉永远都打不完。
John: How do you think they could be ended?
约翰：你觉得怎样才能停止战争？
Steven: I don't think that there is any easy way.
史蒂文：我不认为有什么简单的方法能让他们停战。
John: I think one better way to stop it is to cut off their financial support.
约翰：我觉得让他们停下来的好方法就是切断战争国家的经济支援。
Steven: Yeah, you are right!
史蒂文：嗯，你说得对!
