在一场大规模的、混乱的战争中，德怀特·艾森豪威尔领导了一个难以驾驭的联盟——你不必告诉温斯顿·丘吉尔该做什么。

Dwight Eisenhower had led a fractious alliance—you didn't tell Winston Churchill what to do—in a massive, chaotic war.

当他把这些数据作图时，发现这些性质不一的战争却呈现出某种有规律的模式，似乎战争的混乱也遵循着一些至今还无人知晓的自然法则。

But when he plotted his results, he found that these diverse events fell into a regular pattern. It was as if the chaos of war seemed to comply with some hitherto unknown law of nature.

但是，无论是在混乱和复杂程度上，还是在后续信息的不可靠以及残缺程度上，自然灾害和战争都相差无几。

But disasters are similar to battlefields in their degree of confusion and complexity, and in the consequent unreliability and incompleteness of the information available.

youdao

So all signs of a cosmic battle, or some primordial act of violence between the forces of chaos And evil and the forces of cosmos and good are eliminated.

因此所有宇宙间战争的标志，或者原始的暴行,在混乱邪恶与宇庙美好力量之间的冲突都被消泯。
