I had an interesting experience playing ping-pong last year. I was playing against a  36  opponent(對(duì)手). The last score was 20 to 17 in her  37 . I won the next three points which made the score 20 to 20. I  38  my paddle on the table and thanked my opponent and began to walk away. She called me  39  and said we had to continue until one of us  40 .

    "Look," I said, " if we  41 , one of two events will take place. Either you or I will win. If you win, I will begin to  42  my skill. If I win, you will be unhappy. Isn't it better to know that we both played  43 , that we enjoyed the competition, and that we played to an even (相等) score. This was a  44  ending for my opponent and for the persons watching this contest. It made  45  to me to leave with a tie (不分勝負(fù)) game, an impasse (僵局): no winner, no  46 !

    So, my friends, here is the problem  47  me. Our present technology makes it possible for nations to  48 other nations with time for retaliatory (報(bào)復(fù)) strikes, in such a nuclear time there  49  be no winners, only losers. Under these conditions, the only choice to  50  global destruction is global impasse. This would be a  51 "tie game” where no nation wins and no nation loses. An impasse reached through compromise (妥協(xié)). This is because compromise becomes the only means of  52 . We cannot destroy this beautiful planet by holding on to  53 understanding of victory. The  54  victory  is in achieving a desirable impasse. No one wins,  55  no one loses either.
