By any measure, the level of suffering in Syria is shocking. Although figures do not convey the cruelty by all sides, it has become de rigueur to cite the numbers: more than 100,000 dead, 2.3 million refugees, and four million people internally displaced.
无论采用何种标准，叙利亚的苦难指数都令人触目惊心。虽然数字并不足以显示各方行为的残酷，但列举数字已经成为一种礼节性的需求：超过100,000人丧生、230万登记难民和超过400万民众在国内流离失所（有人估计国内流离失所的民众甚至高达650万人）。
