英语翻译
Afghanistan--a country on the brink of a humanitarian disaster,a land filled with fleeing refugees,starving people,and turbaned terrorists in training camps.TV pictures tell the story of a country in ruin and poverty,a country brought almost to total destruction by twenty years of war and struggle.Yet once-though poor-this was a proud nation,and a beautiful country,and one that had srvived many centuries of harsh history.Not too long ago,it was a country in peace,and one with a rich cultural heritage…
Apart from the nations of Europe,there are few countries in the world that have never been under colonial rule--or at least never in recent times:Afghanistan was one of them.Many centuries ago,Genghis Khan's troops rode down from Mongolia,mercilessly killing the mountain tribesmen of Afghanistan who dared to resist the invader;but apart from this humiliating period in time,the Afghans--who are in fact a mixture of three separate ethnic groups--have held their heads high in the face of invasion.
The country that is now at the centre of the world's attention was once one of the world's proudest nations,and a nation that other countries invaded at their own risk.In the 19th century the armies of the British Empire knew that Afghanistan was not a country to interfere with.
A hundred and twenty years ago,in 1881,British soldiers were nonetheless stationed in the Afghan capital,Kabul.They were there for two reasons,firstly to help stop the Russians from invading the country,and secondly to ensure the existence of an indeppendent buffer-state between the Russian Empire to the north,and the British Empire in India (modern Pakistan) to the south east.
Queen Victoria would have liked to add Afghanistan to her empire,but her soldier never succeeded in this mission,though they tried,and failed.In 1879,the whole British Mission(embassy)in Kabul,including servants,was massacred by their own king,Mohammed Yacoub.Yacoub was friendly to the British,so the British got the blame.The story of the Kabul Massacre was remenbered for a long time by the British in India,and recorded by several Victorian writers and poets.

回忆阿富汗
阿富汗-一个处在人道主义灾难边缘的国家,充满了逃离的难民,饥民,在训练营中缠头巾的恐怖分子 的地区.电视照片讲述了一个在废墟和贫困中的国家的历史,一个经过二十年的战争挣扎,几乎彻底毁灭的国家.但是曾经 ,虽然穷,但它是一个值得骄傲的民族,是一个美丽的国家,一个在许多世纪的艰苦岁月中幸存下来的国家.不久以前,它是一个和平,具有丰富的文化遗产的国家…
除了欧洲国家,很少有国家在世界上从来没有被殖民统治或者至少是在近代从来没有.阿富汗就是其中的一个.几百年前,从蒙古来的成吉思汗骑兵部队,无情的屠杀着反抗侵略的阿富汗山地部族.但除去这段屈辱的历史,阿富汗人,其实由三个不同的民族所组成,都昂首挺胸的面对侵略.
现正正受世界关注的国家曾经是最贫穷的国家之一,一个在危险时期被其它国家侵略的民族.在19世纪,大英帝国的军队知道了阿富汗不是一个能被征服的国家.
尽管如此,在一百二十年前的1881年,英国士兵驻扎在阿富汗首都喀布尔,有两个原因：第一,阻止俄罗斯入侵该国,其次,以确保在俄罗斯和北部之间,在印度（现代巴基斯坦）的英国和东南部之间存在一个独立的缓冲区.
维多利亚女王本来希望阿富汗加入她的帝国,但她的士兵从来没有成功地完成这一任务,虽然尝试了但失败了.在1879年,在喀布尔的英国代表团（大使馆）包括公务员全部被他们自己的国王穆罕默德屠杀,穆罕默德对英国是友好的,因此英国引咎自责.喀布尔屠杀的故事被在印度的英国人记忆了相当长时间,并被几位维多利亚时代作家和诗人记录下来.
