Many of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all.
We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors.
It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently—this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done—is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized people ought to be able to find some way of setting their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And not only has it won, but, because it has won, it had been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right.
The meaning of the last sentence is that _____.
选项
A、those who fight believe that the winner is right and the loser wrong
B、only those who are powerful should go to war
C、those who are right should fight against those who are wrong
D、in a war only those who are powerful will win
答案
A
解析
要正确理解该句子的意思,关键在于might一词,该词在此句中是个名词,意为“权力,力量”。当然,还必须联系前文所述“…because it has won,it had been in the right”。结合这两句话,可以推断A为正确选项。其他选项都属曲解。
