But we have good reason to hope that there will be fewer of them. Next winter, it will be sixty years since an army crossed the Rhine River bringing death and destruction- the longest such period since at least the late second century B.C., when the Cimbri and Teutones challenged the army of the Roman Consul Gaius Marius in the Rhone Valley.
与此相似，战争仍会存在，交战的武器甚至更为野蛮、更有破坏性。但我们有理由期待战争的数量会减少。明年冬天，我们将迎来60周年纪念日。60年前，一支军队越过莱茵河，给人们带来了死亡和灾难－这也是继公元前2世纪末辛布里和条顿族人在龙谷（Rhone Valley）迎战罗马执政官盖乌斯·马略（Gaius Marius）后持续时间最长的一场战争。
