不管还可能会是个什么东西，一场军事演习——尤其是涉及到多个国家——都是公众戏剧(public drama)的一种形式，用以在训练格斗技巧的同时，给世界留下深刻印象。

WHATEVER else it may be, a military exercise-especially if it involves many countries-is a form of public drama, designed as much to impress the world as to hone combat skills.

无论对于个人格斗还是对于军事战略，这两条都同样适用。

This applies as much to the individual as it does to the strategy of armies.
