這句話怎麽翻譯？

He recommended The United Nations “get tough” with the Reds, and said diplomatic language was useless in these military talks. “To sit down with these men and deal with them as the representatives of an enlightenment and civilized people”, he complained to the Chiefs on August 6, “ is to deride one’s own dignity and to invite the disaster their treachery will inevitably bring upon us.” 

 

這裏”as the representatives of ..."是指自己還是對方？

我理解是指說話人自己。(edit: 自己/United Nations)

如果指對方，應該是deal(treat?) them as .... 

 

所有跟帖： 

• 我的理解是指“對方”，像對待civilized people一樣對待他們。我的理解不一定對。 -暖冬cool夏- ♀ (0 bytes) () 06/30/2024 postreply 15:28:38

• 瞎翻譯哈：和這些人坐在一起，把他們作為有文明教養人們的代表來對待，（。。。）是對我們尊嚴的嘲弄， 。。。 -最西邊的島上- ♀ (0 bytes) () 06/30/2024 postreply 17:43:12
