09 My Friend, Albert Einstein

09 My Friend, Albert Einstein
He was one of the greatest scientists the world has ever known, yet if I had to convey the essence of Albert Einstein in a single word, I would choose simplicity. Perhaps an anecdote will help. Once, caught in a downpour, he took off his hat and held it under his coat. Asked why, he explained, with admirable logic, that the rain would damage the hat, but his hair would be none the worse for its wetting. This knack for going instinctively to the heart of a matter was the secret of his major scientific discoveries---this and his extraordinary feeling for beauty. I first met Alert Einstein in 1935, at the famous Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J. He had been among the first to be invited to the Institute, and was offered carte blanche as to salary. To the director’s dismay, Einstein asked

广岛和长崎的英语作文Hiroshima and Nagasaki。

August 6th and 9th of 1945 are two dates that will forever be ingrained in the memory of the world. These are the dates when the United States dropped atomic bombs onthe Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively. The bombings resulted in the deaths of over 200,000 people, most of whom were innocent civilians. The events that ledup to the bombings, as well as the aftermath, have been the subject of much debate and controversy.The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the culmination of a long and bloody war between Japan and the Allied Powers. By August of 1945, Japan was on the brink of defeat. The country had suffered heavy losses in battles throughout the Pacific and was facing a blockade that was crippling its economy. Despite this, the Japanese government refused to surrender, insisting on fighting to the bitter end.It was in this context that the United States made the decision to drop atomic bombs on Japan. The bombs, which were the most powerful weapons ever created at the time, were seen as a way to end the war quickly and decisively, without having to invade Japan and suffer even more casualties.The first bomb, which was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6th, killed an estimated 140,000 people. The second bomb, dropped on Nagasaki three days later, killed another 70,000. The bombs caused massive destruction, leveling entire neighborhoods and leaving behind a trail of death and devastation.In the aftermath of the bombings, there was much debate over whether or not they were justified. Some argued that the bombings were necessary to end the war and save lives, while others saw them as unnecessary and morally reprehensible. The debate continues to this day, with no easy answers.What is clear, however, is that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had a profound impact on the world. They ushered in a new era of nuclear weapons, one that has been marked by fear and uncertainty. They also raised important questions about the ethics of war and the use of force.In the end, the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki remind us of the terrible cost of war and the importance of pursuing peace. They serve as a powerful reminder of the need for diplomacy and dialogue, and the importance of finding peaceful solutions to even the most difficult of problems.。

Unit 10 Is Science Dangerous? Uite10课文译文科学危险吗?Lewis Wolpert 刘易斯·沃尔珀特Does society need protecting from scientific advances? Most emphatically not, so long as scientists themselves and their employers are committed to full disclosure of what they know.人类社会需要保护以抵挡科学发展带来的危险吗?当然不需要,只要科学家及其雇主们致力于公开他们所知道的一切详情。

1. The idea that knowledge is dangerous is deeply embedded in our culture. Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat from the biblical Tree of Knowledge, and in Milton’s Paradise Lost the ser pent addresses the Tree as the ―Mother of Science‖. The archangel Raphael advises Adam to be ―lowly wise‖when he tries to question him about the nature of the Universe. Indeed, Western literature is filled with images of scientists meddling with nature, with disastrous results. Scientists are portrayed as a soulless group, unconcerned with ethical issues.1.知识是危险的这一观念在我们的文化中根深蒂固。

Unit 2 Hiroshima

Unit 2 Hiroshima

1. HiroshimaHiroshima lies on the delta at the head of Hiroshima Bay, an arm of the Inland Sea. It is the capital of Hiroshima prefecture and the chief industrial and population center of the Chugoku region.中国地区Hiroshima began as a settlement around a castle built in 1593 by thefeudal lord Terumoto Mori毛利輝元. The castle took the name Hiroshima ("Broad Island") from its location in the Ota River delta.濑户内海In time, bridges provided access to the delta, and today more than 80 of them connect the city's six delta islands with one another and with the mainland.Hiroshima owes its early development to its position on the key land and water routes between central Honshu本州and the island of Kyushu.九州The Asano 浅野family, who controlled the Hiroshima area throughout most of theTokugawa 德川家族period (1603-1867),promoted the city's trade and encouraged the establishment of industries.After the Meiji Restoration (1868), 明治维新Hiroshima expanded as a modern transportation and industrial center. Major port facilities were completed by 1889, and five years later the city was linked with Kobe神户and Shimonoseki 下关by rail. Coal from northern Kyushu and from foreign sources supplied Hiroshima's iron and steel industry, whose products in turn were utilized in a growing engineering industry, notably in shipbuilding and the manufacture of cars and trucks. Rayon and paper were manufactured from local timber.By the beginning of World War II, Hiroshima was the 7th largest city in Japan, with a population of 350,000. During the war it was a regional army headquarters as well as a major rail center and producer of war materials.In early July, on his way to Potsdam, Truman had re-examined the decision to use the bomb. In the end, Truman made the decision to drop the atomic bombs on Japan. His stated intention in ordering the bombings was to bring about a quick resolution of the war by inflicting destruction and instilling fear of further destruction in sufficient strength to cause Japan to surrender.1) (During World War Two) The U. S. wanted to limit its own casualties by forcing Japan to surrender as quickly as possible.2) At the Yalta Conference in Feb. 1945, the Soviet Union secretly agreed to join the war against Japan within three months of Germany’s surrender. The U.S. wanted to force Japan to surrender before the Soviet Union could enterthe war to secure a stronger political position after the war.3) The U.S. wanted to apply the weapon in war to measure its effectiveness.4) Japan’s stealthy surprise attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941 led to the action of revenge of dropping the A-bomb in Hiroshima.At 8:15 a. m. on August 6, 1945, the first atomic bomb was exploded over a point near the centre of Hiroshima, destroying almost everything within a radius of 6, 000 to 8, 000 feet (1,830--2,450 meters). The damage beyond this area was considerable, and over 71, 000 people were killed instantly. Many more later died of injuries and the effects of radiation. Survivors are still dying of leukemia 白血病, pernicious anemia 恶性贫血病, and other diseases induced by radiation. Almost 98% of the buildings were destroyed or severely damaged.(Note: Little Boy is the name given by the American government to the first bomb to be dropped over Hiroshima. )The Japanese dedicated post-war Hiroshima to peace. The ruins of the Institute of Industrial Development, with its warped dome, were preserved as asymbol of the terror of destruction.Peace Park, which was laid out nearby, includes a cenotaph memorializing the victims and a museum housing relics of the holocaustA special hospital built in Hiroshima treats people suffering from exposure to radiation and conducts research into its effects.Every August 6 since 1947, thousands participate in interfaith services in the Peace Memorial Park built on the site where the bomb exploded. In 1949 the Japanese dedicated Hiroshima as an international shrine of peace. After the war, the city was largely rebuilt, and commercial activities were resumed. Machinery,automobiles, food processing, and the brewing of Sake日本清酒are the main industries. The surrounding area, although mountainous, has fertile valleys where silk, rice, and wheat are produced. Population (1990) 1,085,705.The city now is an important producer of iron and steel, motor vehicles, tractors, ships, machinery, sewing needles, paper, textiles, and food products.

PART ONE
Japan did not immediately agree to the Potsdam ultimatum, which meant unconditional surrender. The Japanese government tried to cover up the fact that a meteorite had fallen on Hiroshima. The Japanese government believed that the us army had only one atomic bomb and pinned its hopes on Soviet mediation. But the answer Japan got from the Soviet leaders was: 'Japan is still fighting and refusing to accept the Potsdam proclamation, so it is impossible for the Japanese government to ask the Soviet union to mediate.' The Soviet government complied with its obligations to the United Nations, accepted its demands and declared war on Japan from August 9. At 11 a.m. on the day of the Soviet invasion, the United States dropped its second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan.

(英文)不该在日本投原子弹——辩论观点

Those who oppose the bombings argue it was simply an extension of the already fierce conventional air raids on Japan[4] and, therefore, militarily unnecessary,[5] inherently immoral, a war crime, or a form of state terrorism.[6] At least one historian (Tsuyoshi Hasegawa) states that the Soviet declaration of war on Japan had more of an effect than the two nuclear bombings.
Supporters of the bombings generally assert they caused the Japanese surrender, preventing massive casualties on both sides in the planned invasion of Japan: Kyūshū was to be invaded in October 1945 and Honshū five months later. It was thought Japan would not surrender unless there was an overwhelming demonstration of destructive capability.[3]
On 26 July 1945, the United States President Harry S. Truman, United Kingdom Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Chairman of the Chinese Nationalist Government Chiang Kai-shek issued the Potsdam Declaration, which outlined the terms of surrender for the Empire of Japan as agreed upon at the Potsdam Conference. This ultimatum stated if Japan did not surrender, she would face "prompt and utter destruction."[1] Some debaters focus on the presidential decision-making process, and others on whether or not the bombings were the proximate cause of Japanese surrender.

Different views on the atomicbombing

Different views on the atomicbombing

Appreciation to Original English Works With the Modern ViewThe U. S. was rightBy John ConnorForty years ago this week in Hiroshima: the dreadful flash, the wrist watches fused forever at 8:16 a.m. The questions still persists: should we have dropped the atomic bomb?History seldom gives decisive answers, but recently declassified documents point to a clear judgment: yes, it was necessary to drop the bomb. It was needed to end the war. It saved countless American and Japanese lives.In the early summer of 1945, Japan, under tight control of the militarists, was an implacable, relentless adversary. The Japanese defended territory with a philosophy we had seldom encountered: Soldiers were taught that surrender was worse than death. There was savage resistance to the end in battle after battle.Of the 5,00-man Japanese force at Tarawa in November 1943, only 17remained alive when the island was taken. When Kwajalein was invaded in February 1944, Japanese officers slashed at American tanks with samurai swords; their men held grenades against the sides of tanks in an effort to disable them.On Saipan, less than 1,000 of the 32,000 defending Japanese troops survived. Casualties among the Japanese-ruled civilians on the island numbered 10,000. Parents bashed th eir babies’ brains out on rocky cliff sides, and then leaped to their deaths. Others cut each other’s throats; children threw grenades at each other. America suffered 17,000 casualties.Just 660 miles southeast of Tokyo, Iwo Jima’s garrison was told to def end the island as if it were Tokyo itself. They did. In the first day of fighting, there were more American casualties than during “D—Day” in Normadndy. At Okinawa—only 350 miles south of Kyushu—more than 110,000 Janpanese soldiers and 100,000 civilians were killed. Kamikazw attacks cost the Navy alone some10,000 casualties. The Army and Marines lost more than 50,000 men.In the early summer of 1945, the invasion of Japan was imminent and everyone in the Pacific was apprehensive. The apprehension was justified, because our intelligence was good: With a system codenamed “Magic”, it had penetrated Japanese codes even before Pearl Harbor. “Magic” would play a crucial role in the closing days of the war.Many have maintained that the bomb was unnecessary because in the closing days of the war intercepted Japanese diplomatic messages disclosed a passionate desire for peace. While that is true, it is irrelevant. The Japanese governmentremained in the hands of the militarists: their messages indicated a willingness to fight to the death.Japanese planes, gasoline and ammunition had been hoarded for the coming invasion. More than 5,000 aircraft had been hidden everywhere to be used as suicide weapons, with only enough gas in their tanks for a one-way trip to the invasion beaches. More than two million men were moving into positions to defend the home islands.The object was to inflict such appalling losses that the Americans would agree to a treaty more favorable than unconditional surrender. The Army Chief of Staff, Gen. George C. Marshall, estimated potential American casualties as high as a million.The willingness of the Japanese to die was more than empty bravado. Several of my colleagues at Kyushu University told me that as boys of 14 or 15, they were being trained to meet the Americans on the beaches with little more than sharpened bamboo spears. They had no illusions about their chances for survival.The Potsdam declaration calling for unconditional surrender was beamed to Japan on July 27. One July 30, the Americans were informed that Japan would officially ignore the ultimatum. A week later, the bomb was dropped.Could we not have warned the Japanese in advance, critics asked, and dropped a demonstration bomb? That alternative was vetoed on the grounds the bomb might not work, or that the plane carrying it might be shot down. Moreover, it is questionable how effective a demonstration bomb might have bee. The militarists could have imposed a new blackout as complete as the one imposed after the disastrous battle of Midway and continued on their suicidal course. That is exactly what happened at Hiroshima. Within hours, the Japanese Government sent in a team of scientist to investigate the damage. Their report was immediately suppressed and was not made public until many years after the war.After midnight Aug. 10, a protracted debate took place in an air-raid shelter deep inside the Imperial Palace. The military insisted that Japan should hold out for terms far better than unconditional surrender. The peace faction favored accepting the Potsdam declaration, providing that the Emperor would be retained. The two factions remained at an impasse. At 2.a.m, Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki asked the Emperor to decide. In a soft, deliberate voice, the Emperor expressed his great longing for peace. The war had ended.It was impossible, in August 1945, to predict the awesome shadow the bomb would cast on humanity. The decision to drop it seemed both simple and obvious. Without it, the militarists might have prevailed, an invasion ordered. And the loss of both American and Japanese lives would have been awesome.The atomic bomb accomplished what it had been designed to do. It ended the war.The U.S. Was WrongBy Gar AlperovitzThough it has not yet received broad public attention, there exists overwhelming historical evidence that President Harry S. Truman knew he could almost certainly end World War II without using the atomic bomb: The United States had cracked the Japanese code, and a stream of documents released over the last 40 years show that Mr. Truman had two other option.The first option was to clarify America’s surrender terms to assure the Japanese we would not remove their Emperor. The second was simply to await the expected Soviet declaration of war—which, United States intelligence advised, appeared likely to end the conflict on its own.Instead, Hiroshima was bombed Aug. 6, 1945, and Nagasaki on Aug. 9. The planned date for the Soviet Union’s entry into the war against Japan was Aug.8.The big turning po int was the Emperor’s continuing June-July decision to open surrender negotiations through Moscow. Top American officials—and, most critically, the President—understood the move was extraordinary: Mr. Truman’s secret diaries, lost until 1978, call the key intercepted message “the telegram from Jap Emperor asking for peace”.Other documents—among them newly discovered secret memorandums from William J. Donovan, director of the Office of Strategic Service—show that Mr. Truman was personally advised of Japanese peace initiatives through Swiss and Portuguese channels as early as three months before Hiroshima. Moreover, Mr. Truman told several officials he had no objection in principle to Japan’s keeping the Emperor, which seemed the only sticking point.Americ an leaders were sure that if he so chose “the Mikado could stop the war with a royal word”—as one top Presidential aide put it. Having decided to use the bomb, however, Mr. Truman was urged by Secretary of State James F. Byrnes not to give assurances to the Emperor before the weapon had been demonstrated.Additional official records, including minutes of top-level White House planning meetings, show the President was clearly advised of the importance of a Soviet declaration of war: It would pull the rug out from under Japanese military leaders who were desperately hoping the powerful Red Army would stay neutral. Gen. George C. Marshall in mid-June told Mr. Truman that “the impact of Russian entry on the already hopeless Japanese may well be the decisive action levering them into capitulation at that time or shortly thereafter if we land”.A month later, the American-British Combined Intelligence Staff advised their chiefs of the critical importance of a Red Army attack. As the top British general, Sir Hastings Ismay, summarized the conclusions for Prime Minister Winston Churchill: “If and when Russia came into the war against Japan, the Japanese would probably wish to get out on almost any terms short of the dethronement of the Emperor.”Mr. Truman’s private diaries also record his understanding of the significance of this option. On July 17, 1945, when Stalin confirmed that the Red Army would march, Mr. Truman privately noted: “Fini Japs when that comes about.”There was plenty of time: The American invasion of Japan was not scheduled until the spring of 1946. even a preliminary landing on the island Kyushu was still three months in the future.Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, appalled that the bomb would be used in these circumstances, urged Mr. Truman and Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson not to drop it. In his memoirs, he observed that weeks before Hiroshima, Japan had been seeking a way to surrender. “It wasn’t necessary,” he said in a later interview, “to hit them with that awful thing.”The man who presided over the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. William D. Leahy, was equally shocked: “The use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender.”Why, then, was the bomb used?American leaders rejected the most obvious option—simply waiting for the Red Army attack—out of political, not military, concerns.As the dairy of one official put it, they wanted to end the war before Moscow got “in so much on the kill.” Secretary of the Navy James V. Forrestal’s diaries record that Mr. Byrnes “was most anxious to get the Japanese affair over with before the Russian got in.”United States leaders had also begun think of the atomic bomb as what Secretary Stimson te rmed the “master card” of diplomacy. President Truman postponed his Potsdam meeting with Stalin until July 17, 1945—one day after the first successful nuclear test—to be sure the atomic bomb would strengthen his hand before confronting the Soviet leader on the shape of postwar settlement.To this day, we do not know with absolute certainty Mr. Truman’s personal attitudes on several key issues. Yet we do know that his most important adviser, Secretary of State Byrnes, was convinced that dropping the bomb would serve crucial long-range diplomatic purposes.As one atomic scientist, Leo Szilard, observed: “Mr. Yrnes did not argue that it was necessary to use the bomb against the cities of Japan in order to win the war. Mr. Byrnes’ …view (was) that our possessi ng and demonstrating the bomb would make Russia more manageable.。

美国投原子弹的英语作文Title: The Decision to Drop the Atomic Bomb on Japan。

The decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II remains one of the most controversial and debated topics in history. Advocates argue that it hastened the end of the war, saving countless lives that would have been lost in a prolonged conflict. However, critics contend that the use of such devastating weapons was morally reprehensible and that alternative methods could have been pursued to end the war. In this essay, we will explore the rationale behind the United States' decision to drop the atomic bombs on Japan.First and foremost, it's essential to understand the context in which this decision was made. By mid-1945, World War II had been raging for nearly six years, resulting in immense human suffering and unprecedented destruction. The Allied powers, led by the United States, had been engagedin a brutal island-hopping campaign across the Pacific,inching closer to the Japanese mainland. However, Japanese resistance remained fierce, and military planners anticipated a long and costly invasion of Japan.At the same time, the Manhattan Project, a top-secret effort to develop nuclear weapons, had made significant progress. The successful test of the first atomic bomb in July 1945 demonstrated the immense destructive power of these weapons. Suddenly, the prospect of ending the war quickly and decisively seemed within reach.The primary objective of dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was to compel Japan to surrender unconditionally, thereby avoiding the need for a full-scale invasion. The rationale behind this decision can be understood through several key factors.First, the anticipated casualties of a traditional invasion of Japan were staggering. Military estimates projected that invading the Japanese home islands could result in millions of Allied casualties, as well as even higher numbers of Japanese casualties. The Battle ofOkinawa, which took place in April-June 1945, provided a grim preview of the ferocious resistance that Allied forces could expect to encounter. By comparison, the use of atomic bombs offered the possibility of achieving victory with far fewer casualties on both sides.Second, there was a sense of urgency to end the war as quickly as possible. The longer the conflict dragged on, the greater the risk of additional casualties and further devastation. Moreover, there were concerns about the Soviet Union's growing involvement in the Pacific theater and the implications this could have for post-war geopolitics. By demonstrating the overwhelming power of the atomic bomb, the United States sought to assert its dominance and compel Japan to surrender before any other major powers could intervene.Third, it's important to consider the prevailing attitudes towards warfare and morality at the time. World War II was characterized by total war, in which entire societies mobilized for conflict and civilian populations were directly targeted. In this context, the use of atomicbombs, while unprecedented in scale, was viewed by many as a means to achieve a swift and decisive victory and bring an end to the bloodshed.However, it's crucial to acknowledge the profound ethical implications of using such destructive weapons. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians and caused unimaginable suffering for countless others. The long-term effects of radiation exposure continue to impact survivors and their descendants to this day. Critics argue that the use of atomic bombs constituted a violation of the principles of just war and humanitarian law, and that alternative strategies, such as a demonstration of the bomb's power or continued diplomatic efforts, should have been pursued.In conclusion, the decision to drop the atomic bombs on Japan was a complex and controversial one, shaped by military necessity, strategic considerations, and the prevailing attitudes of the time. While it undoubtedly played a significant role in bringing about the end ofWorld War II, it also raised profound moral questions about the use of weapons of mass destruction and the conduct of warfare. As we continue to grapple with the legacy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of war and the imperative of striving for peace and reconciliation.。

两弹一星科学家演讲稿作文

两弹一星科学家演讲稿作文

两弹一星科学家演讲稿作文Ladies and Gentlemen,Today, I stand here, humbled and honored, to talk about a chapter in China's history that remains a testament to the nation's resilience, innovation, and determination. It's a chapter that speaks volumes about the dedication and sacrifice of a generation of scientists who, against all odds, achieved what many considered impossible - the development of China's nuclear weapons and satellite technology, collectively known as the "Two Bombs and One Satellite."Let's first delve into the historical context. It was a time of great flux and uncertainty, when China, fresh from the wounds of war and the throes of revolution, faced the daunting task of rebuilding its nation. Amidst this backdrop, the decision to embark on the nuclear and space programs was not just a scientific pursuit but a strategic imperative. It was a declaration of independence, a means to secure the nation's sovereignty in a world fraught with Cold War tensions.The journey, however, was anything but smooth. It was fraught with technical challenges, resource constraints, and international sanctions. But the scientists of this era, led by visionaries like Qian Xuesen, Zhu Guangya, and Deng Jiaxian, did not let these obstacles deter them. They persevered, often working in secrecy and isolation, dedicating their lives to the pursuit of scientific excellence and national progress.Their work was multidisciplinary and highly complex, requiring a deep understanding of physics, chemistry, engineering, and numerous other fields. They had to innovate, often starting from scratch, as many of the technologies they were working with were non-existent in China. They conducted experiments, analyzed data, and made adjustments, all in pursuit of that elusive goal - the creation of a nuclear bomb and a satellite that could soar into the heavens.The success of their efforts was nothing short of miraculous. The first atomic bomb test in 1964 and the first hydrogen bomb test in 1967 were watershed moments in China's history, demonstrating the country's technological prowess and strategic autonomy. The launch of the first satellite, Dongfanghong-1, in 1970, marked China's entry into the space age, further cementing its status as a rising global power.But let's not forget the human toll of this achievement. These scientists sacrificed their personal lives, often foregoing family, comfort, and even health. They worked in austere conditions, with limited resources, and faced constant pressure to deliver results. Their dedication and commitment were nothing short of heroic, and their legacy is a testament to the power of human will and ingenuity.Looking back, the "Two Bombs and One Satellite" era was not just a scientific revolution; it was a cultural and psychological shift for China. It instilled a sense of national pride and confidence, demonstrating that with hard work and determination, China could achieve what others thought was impossible. It also laid the foundation for the country's subsequent technological advancements, making China a global leader in fields like high-speed rail, renewable energy, and quantum computing.In conclusion, the scientists of the "Two Bombs and One Satellite" era are unsung heroes of China's modern history. Their contributions are immeasurable, not just in terms of technological advancements but also in terms of national dignity and self-reliance. Their legacy should inspire us all to pursue excellence, innovate, and contribute to the betterment of our nation and the world at large.Today, as we stand on the shoulders of these giants, it is our responsibility to continue their legacy, to push the boundaries of knowledge and technology, and to ensure that China remains a leader in the global scientific community. Let us remember their sacrifice and dedication, and let us strive to create a future that is worthy of their dreams and aspirations.Thank you.This speech attempts to capture the essence of the "Two Bombs and One Satellite" era in China, focusing on the scientists who made it possible. It analyzes their efforts from multiple angles, highlighting their dedication, sacrifice, and the impact of their work on China's national progress and global standing. The speech aims to be high-quality and high-standard, providing a comprehensive and insightful overview of this significant period in China's history.。

论述废除核武器的必要性的英语作文

论述废除核武器的必要性的英语作文

论述废除核武器的必要性的英语作文The Necessity of Abolishing Nuclear WeaponsIntroductionIn the modern world, nuclear weapons pose a grave threat to humanity and the environment. The destructive power of these weapons is unimaginable, capable of causing widespread death and destruction on a scale never seen before. As such, the abolition of nuclear weapons is not only desirable but necessary for the preservation of life on Earth.Historical ContextThe development of nuclear weapons dates back to the end of World War II, when the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The devastation caused by these bombings shocked the world and led to widespread calls for the elimination of nuclear weapons.Since then, the number of nuclear weapons has increased significantly, with several countries acquiring these weapons as a means of defense and deterrence. However, the continued existence of nuclear weapons poses a threat to global security, as the risk of accidental or deliberate use of these weapons remains high.Environmental ImpactIn addition to the immediate human casualties caused by nuclear weapons, the long-term environmental impact is also significant. The use of nuclear weapons can result in widespread radioactive contamination, leading to health problems for generations to come.Furthermore, the detonation of multiple nuclear weapons could trigger a nuclear winter, causing a dramatic drop in global temperatures and disrupting the Earth's climate system. This could have devastating consequences for food production, water resources, and biodiversity, leading to widespread famine and ecological collapse.Ethical ConsiderationsThe use of nuclear weapons raises ethical questions about the morality of inflicting such massive destruction on civilian populations. The indiscriminate nature of nuclear weapons means that they cannot be used in a way that distinguishes between combatants and non-combatants, leading to the violation of basic human rights.Furthermore, the possession of nuclear weapons perpetuates a culture of fear and distrust among nations, leadingto an arms race and increasing the risk of conflict. By abolishing nuclear weapons, countries can demonstrate their commitment to peace and international cooperation, thereby promoting a more stable and secure world.ConclusionIn conclusion, the abolition of nuclear weapons is not only a moral imperative but a strategic necessity for the preservation of life on Earth. The catastrophic consequences of a nuclear war far outweigh any perceived benefits, making the elimination of these weapons essential for global security and sustainability.It is imperative that world leaders take decisive action to reduce and eventually eliminate nuclear weapons, through disarmament treaties, arms control agreements, and diplomatic negotiations. Only by working together can we create a world free from the threat of nuclear annihilation and build a future based on peace, cooperation, and mutual respect. Let us strive towards a world where nuclear weapons are nothing more than a distant memory, and where the horrors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are never repeated.。

原子弹是毁灭者还是威慑者英语作文

原子弹是毁灭者还是威慑者英语作文

原子弹是毁灭者还是威慑者英语作文全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1Atomic bomb has always been a controversial topic since its invention during World War II. It is commonly regarded as a weapon of mass destruction, capable of causing immense devastation and loss of life. However, some argue that the atomic bomb is also a powerful deterrent against aggression and can prevent conflicts from escalating. In this essay, we will explore both sides of the argument and analyze whether the atomic bomb is a destroyer or a deterrent.On one hand, the atomic bomb has the potential to cause catastrophic destruction. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II resulted in the deaths of over 200,000 people and caused long-lasting health effects on survivors. The immense power of the atomic bomb can flatten entire cities and leave behind a trail of death and destruction. The use of such a weapon in modern warfare would undoubtedly have devastating consequences on both human lives and the environment.Furthermore, the atomic bomb has the potential to escalate conflicts and trigger a nuclear arms race. The possession of nuclear weapons by multiple countries can create a state of mutual distrust and fear, leading to an increase in military spending and heightening tensions between nations. The threat of a nuclear attack can also encourage countries to adopt aggressive foreign policies and engage in brinkmanship, increasing the likelihood of conflict and war.On the other hand, proponents of the atomic bomb argue that it serves as a powerful deterrent against aggression. The fear of a nuclear retaliation can prevent countries from engaging in acts of war or terrorism, as the potential consequences of a nuclear conflict are too dire to contemplate. The doctrine of mutually assured destruction (MAD) posits that the use of nuclear weapons would result in the destruction of both parties involved, deterring countries from launching a nuclear attack.Moreover, the possession of nuclear weapons can provide a sense of security and stability for countries. Nuclear-armed countries are less likely to be invaded or attacked by their adversaries, as the risk of a nuclear retaliation acts as a powerful deterrent. The concept of nuclear deterrence has been creditedwith preventing major conflicts between nuclear-armed countries and maintaining a fragile peace during the Cold War.In conclusion, the atomic bomb is a double-edged sword that can serve as both a destroyer and a deterrent. While the use of nuclear weapons can cause unimaginable destruction and loss of life, it can also prevent conflicts from escalating and deter aggression. Ultimately, the decision to use nuclear weapons rests in the hands of policymakers and military leaders, who must carefully weigh the potential consequences of their actions. It is crucial for the international community to work towards nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation in order to prevent the catastrophic consequences of a nuclear conflict.篇2Atomic bomb is a very controversial topic in the history of human civilization. It has been widely debated whether the atomic bomb is a destroyer or a deterrent. Some people believe that the atomic bomb is a tool of destruction, while others argue that it is a weapon of deterrence. In this essay, we will discuss both perspectives and present our own observations on the issue.On the one hand, those who believe that the atomic bomb is a destroyer argue that the use of atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II caused immense human suffering and loss of lives. The bombings led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians, many of whom were innocent women and children. The destruction caused by the atomic bombs also had long-lasting effects on the environment, leading to widespread contamination and radiation poisoning.Furthermore, the use of atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki did not only cause immediate destruction, but also set a dangerous precedent for the use of nuclear weapons in future conflicts. The atomic bomb is a highly destructive weapon that has the potential to wipe out entire cities and populations in a matter of seconds. Therefore, those who view the atomic bomb as a destroyer argue that it should be banned and eliminated to prevent future catastrophic consequences.On the other hand, there are those who believe that the atomic bomb is a weapon of deterrence. They argue that the development and possession of nuclear weapons serve as a deterrent against potential aggressors and prevent the outbreak of major wars. The fear of mutual destruction and retaliation deters countries from engaging in all-out warfare, maintaining abalance of power and preventing conflicts from escalating to a global scale.Additionally, nuclear weapons have played a significant role in maintaining peace and stability in the world since the end of World War II. The Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union was marked by the threat of nuclear annihilation, which prevented both superpowers from engaging in direct military confrontations. The doctrine of mutually assured destruction (MAD) ensured that neither side would initiate a nuclear strike out of fear of retaliation, thereby preventing a nuclear war.In conclusion, the atomic bomb is a complex and multifaceted weapon that can be both a destroyer and a deterrent. While the use of atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki resulted in immense destruction and loss of lives, the possession of nuclear weapons has also served as a deterrent against major conflicts and maintained peace in the world. Ultimately, it is up to the international community to carefully balance the risks and benefits of nuclear weapons and work towards disarmament to prevent catastrophic consequences in the future.篇3Atomic bomb, also known as nuclear bomb, is a powerful explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions. The invention of the atomic bomb during World War II marked a turning point in human history, as it introduced a new level of destruction and devastation to warfare. The question of whether the atomic bomb is a destroyer or a deterrent has been a subject of debate ever since its creation.On one hand, the atomic bomb is undeniably a destroyer. The devastating power of the atomic bomb was demonstrated in August 1945, when the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians and the destruction of entire cities. The atomic bomb is capable of causing widespread death and destruction on a massive scale, making it a truly destructive weapon of war.On the other hand, some argue that the atomic bomb is a deterrent. The theory of deterrence posits that the threat of massive retaliation with nuclear weapons can prevent countries from engaging in aggressive actions against each other. During the Cold War, the doctrine of mutually assured destruction (MAD) held that the possession of nuclear weapons by both the United States and the Soviet Union prevented either side from usingthem, as the consequences would be too catastrophic for both parties.Despite the potential deterrent effect of the atomic bomb, it is clear that its destructive power cannot be ignored. The use of atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki had devastating consequences that continue to be felt to this day. The long-term effects of radiation exposure on the survivors of the atomic bombings have been well-documented, and the psychological impact of living through such a traumatic event cannot be overstated.In conclusion, the atomic bomb is both a destroyer and a deterrent. While it has the potential to deter aggression between countries, its destructive power cannot be underestimated. The decision to use atomic weapons should not be taken lightly, as the consequences are too severe. As we continue to grapple with the legacy of the atomic bomb, it is important to remember the human cost of using such a powerful weapon and to strive for a world free of nuclear weapons.。

A simple demonstration may not convince the Japanese – we need to drop the bomb on a city to prove its true capabilities.
We need to use a city that has been free from attack so that actual damage can be assessed – Hiroshima is a pristine target.

HANDOUT: Reasoning/Evidence FOR Dropping the Bomb
Germany surrenders April 1945 demand the unconditional surrender of Japan,
Japan rejected
Possibility of Invading Japan projected 1 million American lives would be lost
Two billion dollars has been spent creating this bomb. Americans will never forgive the government if they find out that we had the bomb and did not use it.
Reasoning/Evidence FOR Dropping the Bomb
The Japanese will not surrender unconditionally unless they are forced to do so – we cannot allow them to keep their emperor, Hirohito, he is guilty of war crimes.
It will save the lives of American soldiers who would be killed in large numbers if we have to attempt an invasion of mainland Japan (estimates are anywhere between 200,000 to 1 million potential lives that could be lost).
