The turning point of the North African battlefield in World War II was the Battle of El Alamein, which effectively wiped out the effective forces of Germany. Churchill himself said: "Before the Battle of El Alamein, we never won;" After the Battle of El Alamein, we never failed. " During this period, although the Allies made a historic turning point, the situation in the Mediterranean was complicated, especially in the process of urging France to surrender, the supporters of free France were more dissatisfied, which led to Darren's assassination. In addition, before this, the Allies did win a series of victories: the Pacific battlefield (the defeat of midway Japan), the North African battlefield (the Battle of El Alamein) and the European battlefield (the Battle of El Alamein). On each battlefield, the Allies all won landmark victories, especially for Europeans, the US military also launched. Whether psychologically or actually, the people showed signs of satisfaction and relaxation, and a war was coming to an end. It is also in this time period (June1942 65438+1October 10). Churchill delivered a speech entitled "The End of the Beginning": "This is not the end, or even the prelude to the end has arrived, but perhaps, this is the prelude has ended!" At the same time, Roosevelt also delivered a speech: "Now is not the time to party. We don't have time to do anything else now, only to win and work! " .

The vast majority of Chinese translations are simply literal translations of Churchill's famous sentences, and even the words fail to convey the meaning. For this passage, (now this is not the end. This is not even the beginning of the end. But it may be the end of the beginning). If World War II is simply regarded as a "defensive-counterattack" process, the end in The Beginning of the End refers to the counterattack stage, while the beginning in The End of the Beginning refers to the defensive stage. Of course, World War II is not such a simple two-stage process, but a better understanding of the meaning of Churchill's sentence. Small processes should be abstracted and condensed. Later, the extension of this sentence expanded, and it was widely used everywhere, and the meaning expressed was not expected. However, a popular translation in Chinese translation is "This is not the end, or even the beginning of the end, but the end of the beginning!" It is still interesting, although at first glance it will be a bit confusing and the translation misinterprets the tone of the original text in good faith.
