the final legacy of the commemoration of the First World war.

这也是一战纪念活动的最终传承
His book is entitled Where Have All the Soldiers Gone?

书的名字是《征人何所去》
In late-twentieth-century Europe, states are defined

二十世纪末期国家被定义为福利国家
in terms of the way in which they defend the wellbeing of their populations.

为保证人民的幸福安康而存在
No longer are states defined in terms of the military force

国家不再被认为是为剥削国民利益
that they can deploy in defense of their national interests

以及滥用帝国权力的
or their imperial power.

军事集团
The First World War put, as it were,

一战之后各国似乎
the beginnings--hammered in the nails in the coffin of the old vision

开始摒弃陈旧的国家制度
that the state is that institution which has the monopoly

这种旧制度中国家以合法手段
on the legitimate use of physical force.

垄断军事
The story of warfare killed the old idea of state sovereignty.

战争消灭了国家主权中的旧制度旧思想
