英译汉 请帮忙翻译下面这段文字,急!
All historians are agreed that the external activity of states and peoples in their conflicts finds expression in wars; that the political power of states and peoples is increased or diminished as the immediate result of success or defeat in war.
Strange are the historical accounts that tell us how some king or emperor, quarrelling with another king or emperor, levies an army, fights a battle with the army of his foe, gains a victory, kills three, five, or ten thousand men, and consequently subdues a state and a whole people consisting of several millions; and incomprehensible it seems that the defeat of any army, one hundredth of the whole strength of a people, should force that people to submit. Yet all the facts of history (so far as we know it) confirm the truth of the statement, that the successes or defeats of a nation’s army are the causes or, at least, the invariable symptoms of the increase or diminution of the power of a nation. An army gains a victory, and immediately the claims of the conquering people are increased to the detriment of the conquered. An army is defeated, and at once the people loses its rights in proportion to the magnitude of the defeat; and if its army is utterly defeated, the people is completely conquered. So (according to history) it has been from the most ancient times up to the present. All Napoleon’s earlier wars serve as illustrations of the rule. As the Austrian armies were defeated, Austria was deprived of her rights, and the rights and power of France were increased. The victories of the French at Jena and at Auerstadt destroyed the independent existence of Prussia.

所有历史学家都认为,国家之间和民族之间在相互交往中,彼此发生冲突的最高表现形式是战争；战争的结果,将直接影响国家和民族的政治力量的消长.
无论是哪一个国王或者皇帝的历史记载都表明,在他们和另一个国王或者皇帝之间发生争执之后,他们便集结军队同对方厮杀,战胜者杀死了对方三千、五千、以致上万人,于是便征服了人口数以百万计的国家和整个民族；令人难以理解的是,为什么只有一个民族力量的百分之一的军队战败,就使整个民族屈服,——所有的历史事实（就我们所知道的）都证实了一个道理：一个民族的军队在同另一个民族的军队作战时所获得战果的大小,是这个和那个民族实力增长或削弱的根本原因,或者至少也是一个最重要的标志.军队打了胜仗,战胜的民族的权利由于损害战败者而立即增长了.军队打了败仗,那个民族立刻按照失败的程度而失去它的权利,如果它的军队彻底失败,那个民族就彻底被征服.
