  except for the fact that we also know how chariots are used in warfare
  除非我们也懂得如何在战争中使用战车
• 
  
  and the closest analogy, I think, is to think of chariots as tanks.
  我认为最相近的类比是把战车比作坦克
• 
  
  You know, one famous tactic is--if you have an infantry force
  最有名的战术是 如果有敌方步兵逼近
• 
  
  coming forward, you send tanks in it
  你把坦克派过去
• 
  
  to break up the line of the infantry,
  破坏他们的步兵阵型
• 
  
  so that you can defeat the infantry in that way.
  以这种策略对付步兵

  青铜时代战争中战车的运用方式
• 
  
  You would send the chariot racing toward the line of infantrymen
  你派战车冲击敌方步兵阵型

  and the usual outcome was the infantrymen
  通常的结果是

  would panic in the face of being charged by these things,
  步兵会因战车的袭击而慌乱
• 
  
  and you would break their line
  你就破坏了他们的阵型
