- 尽管非国大先前也讨论过以暴易暴,也讨论过游击战争,可总是把结果束之高阁。
Although a tactic of violence and guerrilla warfare had been discussed by the ANC before, it had always been shelved. - 但是对这场运动中的暴力,对以暴易暴只使暴力变本加厉的事实,中东偶尔有不安的声音传出。
But occasionally voiced in the Middle East was unease at the violence of the moment, the fact that a bloody revolution ended with yet more bloodshed. - 中国反对任何暴力活动,认为以暴易暴不仅解决不了任何问题,而且会激起更多的怨恨,使事态进一步复杂化。
China objects to any violent actions and holds that "violence against violence" can not solve the issue, but will only instigate grudges and make things more complicated.
