Ajie:Look at these pictures. These soldiers are peeing on this prisoner.
Beth:That's disgusting. How could they do such a thing?
Ajie: This is even worse.They've beating him with the butts of their guns.
Beth: I thought thosesoldiers were supposed to be liberating Iraq, not destroying it.
Ajie: As anAmerican, how does it make you feel to see your country's troops acting thisway?
Beth: Well, when you give people the power over life and death, you'vebound to create a lot of problems.
Ajie: No offense, but it sure makes theAmerican and British armies look bad.
Beth: None taken. Things will get alot tougher for Bush and Blair now.
两个坐隔壁的同事在看网络上的照片
阿杰：看看这些照片。这些士兵在这个犯人身上尿尿。
贝丝：那真恶心。他们怎么可以做这种事？
阿杰：这张更糟哩。他们在用枪柄打他。
贝丝：我还以为这些军人是要去解放伊拉克，而非摧毁它。
阿杰：身为一个美国人，看到贵国军队这种行径，你做何感想？
贝丝：这个嘛，当你赋予人生杀大权时，你就一定会制造出很多问题。
阿杰：无意冒犯，但这件事实在让美国和英国军队尊严扫地。
贝丝：我不在意。这下情况对布什和布莱尔会越来越棘手了。
