'Only the dead have seen the end of war' nghĩa là 'Chỉ người chết mới được chứng kiến chiến tranh kết thúc'.
Ví dụ
“Only the dead have seen the end of war.” George Santayana’s dictum seems particularly appropriate nowadays, with the Arab world, from Syria and Iraq to Yemen and Libya, a cauldron of violence; Afghanistan locked in combat with the Taliban; swaths of central Africa cursed by bloody competition – often along ethnic/religious lines – for mineral resources.
Hogia tells the story of three soldiers, Iwan Jones, Diane Taylor and Telor Roberts, who meet in a Caernarfon pub after the final withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. Despite their horrific experiences in Afghanistan – deaths, injuries, the senseless war, the psychological experiences once they’ve returned home is even worse. Little by little it becomes apparent that it is impossible for them to return to their former lives. The nightmare experience of being on the front line never goes away. Plato’s words, “Only the dead have seen the end of war”, are as relevant as ever.
